Breathe Again

Sam wasn't breathing when they pulled her out of the icy water. Her skin was cold and clammy and they yelled at each other for a moment that there wasn't time to debate. Jazz and Tucker fell to their knees.

"She's not breathing," Jazz said frantically as she tilted Sam's head back. Tucker looked up at the battle Danny was fighting with Technus. He looked back down at Sam's pale, slack face as Jazz started first aid. He suddenly felt like everything was moving in slow motion as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed 911.

Each ring of the phone seemed to take forever as Tucker watched Jazz calmly trying to resuscitate Sam. Danny even seemed to move in slow motion as he fought Technus. Tucker hoped this was only a nightmare. A really bad nightmare.

The 911 operator answered the phone and everything seemed to speed up too fast for Tucker to get a grasp on what was going on. He told the operator where they were, what happened, what Jazz was doing, was it working?

"Breathe!" Jazz shouted as she pounded on Sam's chest! "Breathe." The world twisted and turned and filled with flashing lights and sirens, deafening Tucker. Jazz resumed trying to help Sam. Danny caught Technus. Sam laid cold on the pier and didn't breathe again.
