He's by himself. We watch as he walks purposefully over to the tree with the hammock. He looks up at it and then around to see if he's alone. After a few minutes we poke our heads out and we see Lawson sitting on the ground in, believe it or not, Lotus position. He's got the hammock down from the tree and it's lying beside him.
Someone is obviously in it but is either dead of unconscious.
Lawson closes his eyes and raises his hands, touching his thumbs to his baby fingers. Right away though his skin starts to glisten. We watch with our mouths open as Lawson slowly turns into a mermaid. The Maroon starts rummaging around in the hammock and comes out with a small case. From the case the Maroon takes a hypodermic needle and vial.
