B squad was in mid battle with three aliens, guilty of armed robbery. The rangers chased them all the way down to the bay where the aliens were cornered. Once the criminals realized they were losing the battle, one of them threw some of the money they stole in the air causing chaos. People passing by dived for the money, scrambling to get their hands on the cash. The rangers got distracted while trying to get the citizens to clear the area, so the aliens ran off in different directions. Bridge, Z, and Jack went after them, while Sky and Syd took care of the people in the street. In the end the rangers were able to arrest two out of three robbers. Jack and Z met back up with Syd, and Sky.

"Where'd the other one go?" Syd looked around after the others got back.

"I think Bridge went after him." Z noticed the absence of the Green Ranger.

Jack pulled out his morpher. "Bridge, come in."

Nothing.

"Bridge, we caught two of the robbers, what's your status on the third?"

Still nothing.

"Bridge, are you there?"

Silence.

The rangers looked at each other with worried eyes.

"Did anyone see which way he went?" Jack hoped for a clue to the ranger's whereabouts, but none of them saw where he went. "Okay, everyone split up and start looking. We'll find him."

The rangers all ran in different directions, while Jack radioed Kat to see if she could track down Bridge. Before she could get back to him, Jack heard Sydney yell for the rest of the rangers. Once everyone got to her she was standing by the water. When they saw what she was looking at, they all froze in horror. Bridge was un-morphed, facedown, in the water. As soon as the shock passed, everyone ran into the water to drag Bridge out. They rushed in and flipped the Green Ranger over. He was unresponsive. When they pulled him out of the water and placed him on the ground, Jack checked him over.

"He's not breathing."

Z shoved Jack out of the way without thinking and began doing CPR. Everyone crowded around feeling useless. They could do nothing but watch as Z tried to breathe life back into their fellow ranger. Time seemed to drag on as Z continued to push on Bridge's chest and breathe into his mouth.

"Come on, Bridge. Just breathe." Z could not hold back her tears as she continued the CPR.

They were starting to lose hope, but Z was not giving up. She kept going until finally the Green Ranger spat up the water in his lungs and began to cough. A sigh of relief spread over the rangers.

"Just breathe, Bridge, you're okay." Z put a hand on his back.

Bridge tried to suck in as much air as possible. His eyes were glazed over.

"It's okay." Z could not stop crying.

Bridge looked at Z. "It was so bright."

Z was going to ask what that meant, but Bridge leaned on her and closed his eyes.

"Come on, we need to get him back to S.P.D." Sky motioned for Jack to help haul Bridge up.

Once they got to S.P.D, they took Bridge to the infirmary to get checked over. After Kat finished checking on him, the other rangers entered the room. Bridge was awake and sitting up in the bed. He gave them a small smile when they entered.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Z smiled at him.

"Alive, thanks to you."

"It was nothing, we almost lost you. None of us want to see that happen."

"You want to talk about what happened out there?" Jack did not want to push him.

Bridge stared at the end of the bed. "I chased after the robber, and we were fighting by the water. I guess he caught me off guard and threw me in the water. I tried getting out before he jumped on me, but before I knew it I was under water and couldn't get up. His hands were on me, and I couldn't block out the energy and try to hold my breath at the same time. I let go and everything started rushing in at once, all this energy, all the water, and then…" Bridge looked up at his friends; he did not want to go on.

"Hey, you're okay now. That's what matters." Sky noticed there was something else, but Bridge did not want share everything that happened.

Commander Cruger came into the room. "Rangers, well done out there today. Your bravery at helping a fellow teammate was exceptional, but one thing is still certain. The alien that did this to Cadet Carson is still out there, and is considered dangerous. He is not only wanted for armed robbery, but now for the attempted murder of an S.P.D officer. You will go back out there and try to find him, while Mr. Carson stays and rests."

The rangers saluted. "Yes sir!"

Jack stopped before leaving the room. "We'll get him Bridge."

Bridge smiled a little and nodded.

"I hope you will be out on the field again soon, Bridge." Doggie was standing at the end of Bridge's bed.

"Me too, sir."

Doggie noticed something off about the Green Ranger. "Cadet Carson, is there something else going on?"

Bridge bit his lip a little before looking at the Commander. "When I was…before Z resuscitated me…I was somewhere else. There was all this light, but then I saw people? I don't know, I just…something felt off when I woke up again."

Doggie put a hand on the boy's covered foot. "You've been through a trauma. Everything is going to feel strange for a while, but you will recover and be back to normal soon. Get some rest Cadet."

"Yes, sir."

Bridge fell asleep fast, but his mind kept going back to being shoved underneath the water. He had never been so scared in his whole life. He was drowning again, trapped with no air. Bridge shot up in bed, gasping for breath. He looked around to realize he was still in the infirmary. Bridge sighed as he threw his head back onto the pillow, and shut his eyes again. He needed to stop thinking about what happened.

The next day Kat released Bridge from the infirmary and he headed to the cafeteria to get some food. He was starving. When he walked into the room, he saw his fellow rangers already eating. He got some breakfast and sat down with them.

"Hey Bridge, how are you doing today?" Z smiled.

"Better, thanks. Had a little trouble sleeping last night, couldn't stop thinking about what happened."

Syd gave him a sympathetic smile. "That will go away soon."

Bridge nodded and took a bite of his eggs.

"We haven't been able to catch that alien yet, but we won't stop looking." Jack assured Bridge.

"Thanks, but it's okay if you don't find him. He just wanted to get away, and he thought that was his only option."

"Well he still committed a crime Bridge, and he almost killed you. He deserves to be put away." Sky stared with his icy eyes.

"So when will you be able to go back out there?" Jack took a drink of his orange juice.

"Kat said I have to take it easy for the next couple days, so soon I guess." Bridge was a little hesitant to jump right back into the fight, but he knew he was still shaken up by what happened.

A few minutes later the alarm went off and all the rangers, including Bridge, jumped up from their seats. They looked at Bridge who gave a coy smile.

"Right, reflex, sorry." He sat back down.

Jack put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey don't worry about it, you'll back soon. Come on guys."

They all ran out of the room, leaving Bridge by himself. He sighed as he finished his breakfast. On most days he would not have minded a little break from his daily activities, but now he would have been thankful for a distraction to keep his mind off of what happened. He decided to go to the Rec-Room and stand on his head for a while, that always helped clear his thoughts.

Everyone else at S.P.D was either training, or in class, so Bridge had the Rec-Room to himself. The less people there were, the better he could relax and clear his head. He went to his favorite place in the room and flipped into a handstand. When he did this, he lost track of time. The room stayed quiet, but he was sure he remained like that for a while. His meditation was helping a lot, his mind was clearing.

"What have you done?"

Bridge opened his eyes and looked around the room. There was no one there. He flipped back on his feet and looked around again.

"Hello?"

The room was empty. With Bridge's abilities, occasionally a stray thought slipped into head that belonged to someone else, but he was in total control and relaxed when he heard that. He also heard it outside of his head, which was odd. Sometimes he had trouble deciphering between his own thoughts and the ones he heard, which caused confusion, but this seemed different. Everything felt different since he drowned, but he could not quite place his finger on why.

Later, after the rangers got back from their mission, Sky went to his room to see Bridge sitting on his bed. Sky sat on his own bed and noticed the disgruntled look on the Green Rangers face.

"Everything okay?"

Bridge looked at him as if he just noticed the Blue Ranger walk into the room. "Yeah, yeah, just trying to figure something out."

"Need any help?"

"Not yet."

Sky rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Whatever." He grabbed the S.P.D handbook and laid on his bed to read it.

Bridge continued to sit on his bed in thought. This weird feeling he had was getting stronger. Something was going to happen, but he had no idea what.
