Angel frowned, noticing something immediately as he stood up. He took off his coat and handed it to Cordelia, who stood up as well. Angel took off running to the water as Cordelia raced after him. "Angel! Angel! What is it!" Cordelia cried out as Angel dove into the water.
"David! David! Get your ass over here! We are going to be so dead! Dad is going to ground us for like a week!" Brad shouted loudly as Cordelia looked to him. "Have you seen my little brother? He is short with red hair… I have been looking for him for a while now…"
"You lost David!" Susannah cried out as she ran over to her step brother. "You were supposed to keep an eye on him! Oh, I am going to kick your ass…" Suze threatened, coming at Brad as Jesse grabbed her by the hips, pulling the infuriated girl back. Cordelia took some steps back, trying to avoid the crazy people.
"If you would've stopped sucking face with your boyfriend…" Brad shouted back, glad Suze couldn't reach him. She was strong for a girl her age, and had given him a good number of bruises.
Everyone stopped moving as Angel stepped out of the water, dripping wet as he carried out a small boy. Susannah, Brad, and Jesse all recognized him immediately, it was David. Angel dropped him down on the sand, looking up to them. "He's not breathing… someone give him mouth to mouth." Angel moved aside quickly, not able to do it because of lack of breath. Susannah took the job, going over to David as she knelt down next to him, grabbing for his wrist.
"His hearts beating; don't worry." Angel said urgently, able to hear it as Suze decided to just take his advice. She nodded, as she began to give him mouth to mouth. After a few moments David coughed, water spurting from his mouth as he choked. Susannah turned him, letting him spit the water into the sand.
"Thanks a lot. I mean, we owe you, big. If you hadn't seen David… he would've died…" Brad said, grateful as Angel nodded, standing up. He was wet and covered in sand. Go vacation.
"H-H-How did you? I… I was underwater… for a… long time…and…and you were….there…just as…as…long…" David stammered, gasping for breath as he looked to Angel.
"Dude, we need to repay you… come back to our house. We can get you warm and dry you off, it's the least we can do…" Brad offered to Angel as Cordelia smiled.
"Would we ever." Cordelia answered for Angel, who would have rather just went back to the hotel. And pouted, brooded, scowled, acted childish, whatever Cordelia referred to it to. He was happy with it.
Susannah wrapped David up into a towel. "He doesn't need to go to the hospital or anything… he's okay…" She breathed with relief as she helped him stand up. She looked to Brad, frowning that he invited them to the house, but he did save David's life.
"Just follow us to our car… my name is Brad, the boy you saved was David…" Brad said, introducing himself as Angel nodded to them. "The girl is my step-sister, Susannah, and the other one is her boyfriend, Jesse."
"Well, I am Cordelia Chase, and this is Angel." Cordelia introduced for them when Angel and Jesse both turned to look at each other. Both their eyes widened as they stared at each other, in a bit of a shock as Cordelia nudged Angel.
"Uh… hi…" Angel said, staring at Jesse. He was familiar somehow. Like he had met this man before… but it wasn't anytime recent.
"You can see him!" Susannah cried out, pointing to Angel as everyone looked at her a little crazily. She and Jesse were Mediators, they could speak and touch the ghosts and undead and everything. And something that gave away that they were spirits… was the light glow they had about them. And oddly enough, the Angel character did.
Jesse stared at Angel, suspiciously. He remembered seeing his face somewhere. But it was when he was alive, which happened to be a hundred and fifty years back. But that was impossible, wasn't it? His body was brought from the past and that's how he stood there at that moment. But where was Angel from? And how could he look identical to the familiar figure he was thinking of?
"Um, come on… to the car… I will call my mom… tell… her." Susannah said, watching Angel curiously, wondering how he could have a 'death glow' but be alive? And everyone could see him? Something wasn't right.
