Chapter 38- Work Experience
A/N Just a warning there is talk of death in this chapter, unfortunately this can happen in water as a Lifeguard myself we train and practice for this situation and I am so likely I have not had to face something like this.
It was the day after Violet's first rescue with Hutz and all the boys down on the beach thought they would never see that young girl again. Hutz was shocked when Violet went out the help instead of Hoppo but she seemed to be a professional and know what she was doing. "Violet are you going to be heading to Bondi again today?"
"Yes, Mr Hopkins wanted me to go to the beach again and report to someone called Kerrbox." Lucy and Violet walked down to Bondi beach together and Lucy decided she was going to spend the day on the beach.
Violet knocked on the Lifeguard Tower door and Michael Jenkinson answers the door. "Hello, sorry to bother you but I was told to report to someone called Rob 'Kerrbox' Kerr." Michael invited Violet into the tower and as Kerrbox was on the beach but before Mouse could get him on the radio he was in backpackers rip* which was to late as Violet sat in one of the chairs. Hoppo comes into the tower.
"Good Morning Violet."
"Good Morning Sir"
"Mouse, Hutz, Chappo I would like you to meet Violet Tracy who is here as a trainee for today, and I would like you to make her feel welcome."
Hoppo took Violet up to the locker room to give her a uniform so that she felt like one of the group. Box finished his rescue and reported to the tower that he was back at the rhino "Kerrbox can you come back up to the tower please as Hoppo wants to speak to you."
"Alright Mouse I am on my way back up." Kerrbox and Mouse swapped places and Hoppo was walking back across with a young girl dressed in the Lifeguard uniform. "Hoppo, Mouse said you wanted a word."
"Yes I would like you to meet Violet Tracy she is going to be our trainee for today and I would like you to train her and look after her."
"Alright Hop"
Kerrbox and Chappo started in the tower with Hutz and Violet dealing everything from first aid incidents to water incidents. Lucy was sunbathing off to one side of the tower, when Lucy spots someone was face down in the surf, Lucy ran down to the waters edge and realised this person was unconscious. Mouse and Harris saw a group of people around.
"Central to Mouse come in"
"Mouse here."
"Yer can you and Harris go to South Bondi something is going on"
Mouse and Harris arrived on scene and they were met with a girl doing CPR. "Central we need to defib."
"Alright Hutz and Violet are on the way"
Kerrbox calls for the ambulance whilst Hutz and Violet raced down to deliver the defib. Violet set up the defib but when she saw Lucy she became concerned for her sister having to deal with something like this. "Violet"
"Mouse what do you want me to do?"
"Take this young girl and are you alright meeting the ambulance crew."
"Come with me" Violet stayed professional even through she wanted to hug her after what they had just experienced. Violet walked up to meet the paramedics and Chappo was there as well with a rhino to transport them.
The paramedics and ambulance crews worked on this person for a good hour and half before they declared him dead. Harris told Hutz to take Violet back up to the tower having been involved in a resus it can really hit home.
Over the next couple of hours the team had been hit really hard the carried on saving lives from the ocean. Hutz was patrolling north end with Violet and he was becoming more worried about the young 15 year old. "Violet talk to me."
"What is there to say, apart from my sister pulled that man out of the ocean and started CPR on him. MY SISTER!" Hutz could see that Violet was about to break when a girl came up to the rhino a hugged Violet and Harrison looked confused as to who this girl is. "Harrison I would like you to meet my twin sister Lucy. Lucy I would like you to meet Harrison or Hutz."
"Nice to meet you. How did you learn to do first aid?"
"One of our uncles taught us as he is the family doctor as well. It seems my family are always hurting themselves and living on a private island getting medical help isn't always the easiest thing."
"May, I ask. How many uncles do you have?"
"We have 4 on our dad's side and 2 on our mum's, but we don't see our uncles on our mum's side unless we go to Kansas in America."
"Hutz and Violet from central come in." Violet broke free from her sister to answer the radio before Harrison could.
"Violet, here"
"There is two heads by the rocks you may have to go in"
"FAB" Lucy look at Violet as if she had done something wrong and Harrison looked at her really confused. "It is something our family says to acknowledge each other". Before they knew it they were out by the rocks saving these two local lads out by flat rock. Lucy watched her sister go out and save people's lives but she was still concerned about her.
Lucy called Scott seeing if he could come down to the beach to meet them. Once Violet had finished for the day they had their way back to the hotel, but Scott knew something else has happened.
Scott's phone rang just after he got back from walking the girls back up to the hotel "Mr Tracy speaking."
"Ah Mr Tracy it is lead to believe that your daughter Lucy Tracy dragged a man out of the surf and started to do CPR on him and your other daughter Violet also started to do CPR as well as setting up the AED. Unfortunately the male didn't make it which has hit my team and your daughters very hard. Although Lucy wasn't working with us, I would like both of them to come back to the beach in 2 or 3 days for a debriefing on what happened."
"That should be alright as we are going back home in 4 days, they will come down in 3 days."
"Thank you Mr Tracy. See you in 3 days."
A/N Please review and let me know what you think. I know this chapter is a bit bad but this did actually happen on Bondi. Something like this happened in season 12 they brought one back from the dead but unfortunately the other person didn't make it.
*This is a famous rip current which is situated at the southern side of Bondi which has been know to drown people very quickly.
