Chapter 10:
Shawn arrived at the mattress factory. He took the briefcase out of the car and walked inside. He wandered to the middle of the factory. He was met by a tall man.
"Shawnee boy, you made it." Miller said. "Did you bring what I asked for?"
"You got what I want?" Shawn asked playing it cool.
"She's at the far end of the factory."
"There's one more thing you should know?" Shawn said.
"What's that?" Miller asked.
"You should have got the money before you told me where she was." Shawn said running towards the other side of the factory. Miller ran after him. He pulled out a gun and started shooting. A bullet hit Shawn in the shoulder. He dropped the briefcase and dove for cover. When he was sure he was safe, he started his search again.
He wandered farther into the factory. He stopped in front of a big tank. It was filled with water and at the bottom was Jules. His Hazel eyes got big. He took off his coat and threw it on the floor. He climbed to the top of the tank to find any sort of way to get her out.
"Hang in there, Jules! I'm coming." He found a vent at the top. He tried to get it off. He found a flattened pipe nearby and grabbed it. Shawn wedged it under the vent and pried it open. He tossed it to the floor.
"What am I doing?" Shawn said as he climbed into the freezing cold water into the tank. He took a deep breath and dove to the bottom. He wrapped his good arm around Juliet's waist. He kicked up from the bottom and swam back to the top. He pulled Jules out of the vent and some how managed to get her to the ground.
He laid her down gently and checked for a pulse. She didn't have one. He knelt next to her and started doing CPR. Shawn was cold and scared and wet.
He had been doing CPR for at least five minutes. The others had walked in after scouring the rest of the factory and discovering a two year old girl.
"Mr. Spencer?" The chief said when she saw the scene. Shawn was hunched over Juliet giving her mouth-to-mouth. He was dripping wet and shaking uncontrollably. She turned to the other officers. "Get the paramedics now."
Shawn was oblivious to the others. "C'mon Jules, breath. Breath!" The paramedics came in. They tried to push Shawn aside but he wouldn't move.
"Mr. Spencer, let the paramedics take it from here." The chief said. When he didn't move, she knelt down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. She spoke to him in a calming voice. "Shawn, let the paramedics do their job." She pulled him away from Jules. The paramedics stepped in where Shawn left off.
"I-is s-she g-going to be ok?" Shawn asked shivering.
"The paramedics are doing everything they can." The chief said. A paramedic handed her a blanket. She wrapped it around Shawn to warm him up. The same paramedic put an oxygen mask over his face. The chief pulled him to his feet and walked out to the ambulance as they loaded Juliet into it.
