Yay, I got some reviews! So, here's your reward.

She awoke to a strange roaring sound. It was barely audible over the sound of the rain falling, but her sharpened hearing picked it up. Puzzled, she got out of the jeep and stood on the cool ground. She shivered in the cold night air, made even cooler by the storm. "What's that noise?" she muttered out loud to herself.
The moon suddenly shone out from behind a cloud, illuminating the gorge… and a huge wall of water flowing towards her! Her eyes opened wide in horror as the water continued it's rapid approach. She then remembered a documentary she had watched a long time ago about flash floods in Australia, caused by monsoons. 'God I'm stupid.' Her eyes scanned for a way out of the gorge, but to no avail. She clung desperately onto the jeep's roof rack as the water slammed into the jeep. Luckily the raging waters lifted it afloat, though it rolled in the water continuously, causing Claire to hold her breath for a majority of the time, completely exhausting her.

Further downstream, a man sat in his tent, on top of the cliffs of the gorge. He was angry. 'What's the point of having a sentry here when there's about to be a flood?' He thought to himself. 'No one would be stupid enough to try to get to the head quarters this way when the gorge is completely flooded with water. They'd have to be complete idiots to even think about it.' He was watching the darkened gorge, when the moon came out from behind the clouds, and after a few minutes he could see the torrents of water gushing through below.
Then something upstream caught his eye and he left his tent, to stand on the edge of the cliff so he could get a better view. 'What the hell?' He could now see that it was a jeep… and there was a person clinging on the roof! "So much for no one being stupid enough" he muttered to himself. When the jeep was nearly opposite him he dived into the water and swam over to the person. She was unconscious. He took hold of her arm, pulled her back to the bank, and carried her back to his tent, where he set about drying her off. "Claire…"

So, can anyone guess who Claire's mysterious saviour is? Hmmm, and I wonder what company he could be working for. Tell me in your review ;)
