"Oh my god!" Mrs. Westfall screamed when she saw Martin and Mr. Westfall coming back to the house in the canoe. Her husband yelled for her to run and get the EMT. Samantha didn't let go of Martin when she saw Danny lift the little boy out of the canoe. Instead, she clung tighter to his jacket, squeezing her eyes shut, not being able to process the thought that the little boy was gone.
"He's not breathing!" Danny shouted over the sudden commotion of the EMT arriving, pushing Martin and Samantha aside. She looked at the fragile little boy, the pale blue lips and the closed eyes. Even the look of terror on his face before she shut her eyes again and buried her head into Martin's shoulder. He tried to reassure her, but the image of the little boy wouldn't let him.
"I've got a pulse!" the EMT yelled after a few silent moments of working with Dylan. Mrs. Westfall let out a cry of relief and Will, who had shown up shortly after the EMT, wrapped his arm around his crying sister. Samantha looked up from Martin's shoulder and glanced at the little boy on the floor. He looked so helpless; she couldn't believe he was breathing.
"Move out of the way!" the EMT exclaimed, trying to get Dylan to the ambulance in order to take him to the hospital. Samantha watched in silence as the EMT and Mrs. Westfall rushed back to the front yard and into the ambulance. Mr. Westfall took his children inside the house and Martin, Samantha, and Danny finally made it back to their vehicles parked out on the street.
"Are you alright, Samantha?" Danny asked, looking at his friend with careful eyes. "Maybe you should get some sleep, you don't look well."
Samantha gave Danny a weak grin, "I'm just a little worn out. At least Dylan's going to make it."
Danny nodded, "I still can't believe he pulled it through. When we found him floating in the water, I was sure he wasn't going to make it. I'm glad I was wrong."
"We all are," Martin agreed. Danny said goodbye to them and headed to his car before taking off at top speed. Martin pulled Samantha back to him as soon as Danny's car disappeared around the bend. "What a hellish day," he commented.
"I feel like dancing," Samantha muttered against his shoulder where her head was resting. She did a little two step before coming to a stop and resting one hand just instead his jacket, resting under his shirt but on top of his undershirt. Placing a little kiss on his jaw, her finger poke that one spot on his stomach that always got him.
Martin let out a little puff of air next to Samantha hair. "Are you trying to seduce me, Miss Spade?" he questioned, brushing a few loose strands of her hair behind her ear. "Because, God knows, it's working."
Samantha groaned and let out the smallest cough, "I'm so tired."
"Shall we get out of here then before Mr. Westfall calls the police?" Martin asked, turning to face his SUV. Samantha nodded and reluctantly let go of him, the comfort of being in his arms vanishing, and headed to her own vehicle. She knew she would be seeing him soon.
