A Wet Rescue
Chapter 1
Zorro was out patrolling near the ocean when he heard someone yell for help. He looked around and spotted someone trapped between two large rocks. He rode quickly down the beach and jumped off Toronado's back.
"Stay still, I'm coming to get you." Zorro yelled over the crashing waves and wind.
"Help!" The trapped victim yelled.
Zorro pulled his cape, hat, and gloves off. He located a safe place to reach the rocks and jumped in the water. He swam over to the large rocks and climbed up the side and worked his way over to the trapped person still in the water.
"Reach for my hand, I will pull you up." He laid down on his stomach and looked over the edge of the rock. The water splashed him in the face, making it hard to see where he needed to reach.
"My foot is stuck between the rocks." The trapped victim cried out with panic.
"I am going to climb down and free your foot." Zorro replied as he carefully lowered himself over the edge of the slippery rock. As he came closer to the trapped person, he could see it was a young girl around the age of 10. Her head was above the water, but each wave pulled her farther under.
"I am next to you, reach for my hand." Zorro yelled so she could hear him. He felt small fingers wrap around his large fingers. He carefully made his way over the slippery rocks and wrapped his arm around her small waist to keep her above water.
"You will be on dry land before you know it." He told the young girl while he tried to free her foot.
"Ouch." The girl yelled when her foot was freed from the rocks.
"Climb onto my back and hold on tight." Zorro instructed her and helped her the best he could.
When she was holding on tight, he carefully climbed up the slippery rocks until they were out of the waves.
"We need to reach the edge of this rock wall and swim to the beach. Can you walk?" Zorro pointed toward the edge of the rock wall.
"I will try to walk." The girl replied with pain as she slid down off of his back.
Zorro helped her as they slowly and carefully walked over the slippery surface. He looked down over the edge of the rock wall.
"I am going to lower myself down first, then I will reach up and help you down." Zorro patted the young girl on the shoulder and carefully lowered himself down to the flat rock below him.
"Sit down and carefully slide to the edge. I promise I will catch you." He reassured her and reached up.
"I'm scared. I don't want to fall." The girl started to cry.
"You are not going to fall. I am right here to catch you." Zorro calmly called up to her.
He saw her eyes grow big as she shook head.
