VANISHED chapter 12


Catherine plunged toward the bottom of the river. The temperature change, from the icy winter air to the freezing waters sent her body into cold shock.

Instantly her body succumbed to her gasping reflex, and she began to inhale the water.


"Catherine!" Gil screamed when reality hit him. He took a step forward to enter the water when Brass Brass pulled him back.

"You can't go in there, we'll lose both of you."

Gil pulled away " I have to help her, I can't lose her, not like this."

Brass pulled again " The cold water will get you within seconds, then I will have two people to rescue."

Brass jumped on his radio " I need some type of rope" he yelled.

In seconds two officers were racing toward with rope.

Gil watched the still waters hoping Catherine would appear, it had been almost two minutes and she had resurfaced.

Gil grabbed the rope and tied it securely around his was it. " I'm going in, She can't die, Lindsey needs her mother" he paused before diving in " Better me then her."

Before Brass could protest Gil had disappeared into the waters. All Brass could do was help guide the rope hoping nothing else bad could happen.

Underneath the murky winter waters Gil searched frantically for the women he loved. It was now going on four minutes and he knew that she couldn't hold her breath that long , especially in waters this cold.

Gil came up for a breath. " I can't see anything!" he called to Brass before submerging once again.

He was only down for a few seconds when he saw her. Gil reached out and pulled her lifeless body to the surface and they began pulling him in.

In the distance Eric could she what was happening and aimed his gun. One shot was all he needed. Seconds later the officer behind Brass was hit with the bullet. He fell forward, the rope falling from his hands, and he took Brass with.

In the water felt the rope fall limp and he struggled the cold to get Catherine out of the water. Brass rolled the injured officer off of him and grabbed therope before it was swept into the river with Catherine and Gil.


Eric Baker was running back around when he confronted by a swarm of officers, there guns aimed for him and only him. He dropped his raised his hands, he had no choice but to surrender.
