Chapter 5
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
When we got the marina, Connie and the guy we met earlier, Barney I think his name was, were just securing the scarab to the dock. The scarab was bigger than I imagined it to be, and hell the thing even had 2 engines. The marina was buzzing with activity, there seemed to be hundreds upon hundreds of boats, all different sizes and all for different purposes.
"So you ready for the ride of your life"? Connie shouted over the crashing the water made as it hit the scarab and dock.
"Yes Ma'am". Louise shouted, sounding like Dwayne.
"Jump aboard then". She told us, as both she and Barney helped us.
We set off quite slow, allowing us to get a feel for the movement beneath us. It was quite a smooth motion, with a slight rocking. Once we were clear of the marina, she went a little faster. I still felt the rocking sensation, but it was much more vigorous.
"You might wanna hold on to something, this girl goes like a bat outta hell". Barney warned us.
"Yall ready"? Connie shouted, but didn't wait a response before she upped the speed even more.
I could feel the scarab bouncing over the waves, the rocking sensation was no longer there. I was both having fun yet scared all at the same time. I think what got me more nervous was when she kept turning round, not looking where she was going at all, sure I know there wasn't much chance of her crashing into something.
"KMF295 to KMF290, do you copy". A fuzzy voice came through.
"KMF290 to KMF295 we copy". Connie replied.
"Boat fire off tequila bay, multiple victims in the water".
"We're on our way". She answered, putting the radio speaker down, and with one swift movement she had turned the scarab around.
It seemed like seconds before we could see a cloud of black smoke. Barney took the wheel, allowing Connie to get that orange can thing that all lifeguards carried with them. She put the black cord around her before climbing onto the side of the scarab.
"What the hell are you doing"? Guy shouted, she didn't answer him, but at what I guessed the right second, she just dove into the water.
Slowly Barney cut the engines, and grabbed for the fire extinguisher and began trying to douse the flames.
"MY DAUGHTER, MY BABY". I heard someone shout, but it wasn't until I looked around, that I realized it was the guy Connie had already saved and was pulling him toward the scarab.
"I'll get her, don't worry". She pushed him up into the scarab, as me and Adam helped him, before swimming back a few spaces then diving under.
By now, the flames were almost gone. The guy in the scarab with us, was almost in hysterics, screaming after his daughter. Connie resurfaced, but she hadn't got the little girl. She took a deep breath, them went back under. I was beginning to see this whole lifeguard thing in a totally different light. A few seconds later, she resurfaced, still no girl. The man was now more than hysterical, wanting to jump back in, but Barney had a firm hold of him.
"Barney, pass me the spare air". Connie panted, the caught the small yellow bottle he had tossed her, before going back under.
"MY BABY". The guy continued shouting pulling away to jump back in.
"Listen, LISTEN. You jump back in, you're wasting precious time, because we then have to come rescue you. You stay here". Barney ordered him, before pulling his polo shirt off and diving in after Connie.
He went under, but came back up a few seconds later, doing the same as Connie, taking a breath then going back under. A few seconds later, Connie resurfaced, a limp body in her arms. Barney wasn't far behind her, they swam her toward us. Barney climbed back into the scarab, before lifting the little girl into the scarab. We all stepped back giving him the space to lay her down. By now Connie was in the scarab, pushing the father back.
"Just get out of our way". She said calmly yet, with a stern tone.
"No pulse, begin CPR". Barney told her, then gave her 2 breaths, before Connie began giving chest compressions. They did 1 breath and 5 compressions for about a minute before Connie took over whilst Barney began starting the engines. "This is KMF290, have a ambulance waiting at the marina". He said, before speeding up even more.
Connie was beginning to tire, but she continued, giving 2 breaths and 15 compressions. I was amazed watching her, do all this. Suddenly as quick as a bullet exiting a gun, she grabbed, for one of the bags, retrieving this bottle looking thing with a face mask attached.
"Louise". Connie looked over to the closest person. Louise stepped forward kneeling down by Connie's side. "I need you, when I tell you, to hold this over her mouth and nose then squeeze, when I tell you". She said all this as she continued giving CPR. We watched in amazement as she counted 5 then told Louise to use the bottle thing.
Thankfully a few seconds later, we got to the marina where we all speedily climbed off, allowing the ambulance guys room, to help get the little girl on a back board. Under a minute later, the girl and her father where being whisked to the hospital, leaving us stood gaping in amazement. 2 other lifeguards took over, the scarab, allowing Connie and Barney to walk sedately away toward us.
"Good job Connie, I'll see you later". Barney told her, then waved to us.
"You too". She replied, then headed to us.
"Connie you were amazing". Julie said almost breathlessly.
"I know someone else who was more amazing". Connie slung her arm across Louise' shoulders. "You just helped save that little girls life".
"She's breathing again"? Louise asked.
"Yeah, but only just". She replied, as she delved into her bag, pulling out her jacket and tracking bottoms, before slipping them on. "Ok, ladies, let me pop back home for a shower, then we'll go shopping". Connie said giddily. We all moaned, as all 3 of them, began bounding around. "Are we asking you to come"? Connie asked.
"No but remember, the more you buy, the more excess we have to pay going home". Guy said slowly, I could almost see him trying to work out how much.
"And a few extra pieces of clothing are going to make a difference how"? Connie argued. "Right I'm on the morning shift tomorrow, before I have 1 full week off, so how about we all do something tomorrow night"? Connie suggested as we headed back to the apartment.
"Sounds good to me. Does that mean we get to meet all your other halves"? I asked. Now I wanted to meet Averman and Russ' girlfriends, but Adam's intrigued me more. He had hardly said anything about her, in fact he hadn't said anything about her. Suddenly they all fell quiet, but Averman quickly picked up the conversation again.
"Well I can ask Maddy, but she might be getting packed ready to head off home". Averman told us.
Before we knew it, we were back at the apartment and Connie, ran off and got showered and changed. Armed with credit cards and cash, the 3 girls headed back out, returning much later, with the very least 10 different bags between them. Most of the stuff, they could have gotten back home, but some I must admit was pure Californian wear. Connie dumped her stuff back in her room, and for some reason, something just twigged in my head.
"So Connie, you haven't said whether you're dating anyone"? I asked.
"Well, um, well, yeah I am". She stuttered. That was all the ammunition both Julie and Louise needed.
"Really, what's his name, what does he look like, how old is he, what does he do"? Thousands of questions were thrown at her, the whole time, Connie, Averman, Russ and Adam looked uncomfortable. Now was I putting 2 and 2 together to make 4 or was it 2 and 2 making 5?
So what do you think??? PLEASE R&R!!!!
