Dan frowned slightly, still stroking the head of his pet. "Oh now, don't be like that." He flicked his pet's nose, who hissed in annoyance and backed off the bed. Dan pointed towards the door and his pet followed where he pointed, if a bit sulkily. "He is harmless. No need to be afraid." He smiled again at Jacob. "Well, Mr Samson. It seems you have seen my wonderful creation a bit too soon. I was hoping to surprise you tomorrow."

He went to the door, pulling out a lock and humming to himself. "There's no point jumping out the window. The fence is electrified. Besides, the drop will hurt you. I will come to get you tomorrow. You can be apart of this, a wonderful human evolution. I'm thinking about splicing you with some cat genes. I'd love another pet." He laughed and put the padlock over Jacob's door, closing it and locking it. Humming to himself, he went back to his room, smiling at his pet, who was now curled up under his heat lamp.
