Dani didn't know what to do. Is Bond insane? He expects me dive down there and drag him back up? But if I leave him there, he might be dumb enough to let himself drown! Dani panicked and as the seconds ticked by, something inside forced her to dive down into the deep. The same force that made Dani dive, also made her open her eyes underwater. She saw Bond lying on the floor of the pool, her goggles in Bond's hands. She swam down and grabbed Bond to bring him to the surface. She was running out of air and despite Bond being in water, he was still heavy. The twenty feet of water between the floor and the surface seemed to go on forever. As Dani ran out of breath, she broke the surface, and swam to the shallows, ignoring the fact that the edge of the deep end was not three inches behind her. Dragging Bond was a pain; he just lay there as Dani struggled to swim. Finally Dani reached the stairs and rested Bond on the steps and she breathed heavily. Bond exhaled and began breathing regularly. He turned his head and saw Dani breathing hard, wheezing even. "Here" Bond handed Dani her goggles, giving her wry smile. "I'm…going…to kill…you." Dani was too exhausted to even sound mad, let alone lift her arm to grab her goggles. "Maybe later."
Later That Night
Dani was too weak to get out of the pool on her own, so Bond carried her, wrapped in a towel, back to the room. He was impressed that Dani dove after him so quickly after he sank to the bottom. Bond knew he was in no real trouble, he could hold his breath for a couple minutes, and would have resurfaced if Dani didn't dive after him. He was also surprised at how she didn't just resurface, she swam, actually swam to the shallows, like she was saving a drowning victim. Bond put Dani down as they got to the door to his room, letting Dani slowly walk in heading to the bathroom for a shower. Bond ordered room service, for one. "Dani, I'm going back out to look for Gutiérrez." "'Kay!" Dani sounded tired. "Also, room service will be here in a few minutes to hustle up." "'Kay." Good conversation there, Dani.
