down! I will shoot you!”
Mason then grabbed the gun and made it crumble like a soda can. The gun fell to the floor and the man shuttered as Mason got closer to him. Mason grabbed him by the throat and squeezed until the man’s eyes bulged.
The man twitched and fought, but did not succeed to become free. He stopped moving and a loud thud came shortly after his lifeless body slammed on the floor.
I looked at Jack but had seen he had already begun his search under the water for Olivia. Minutes passed by and I told Mason, “I’m going in too.”
Mason nodded and jumped in behind me. As we swam below a loud explosion caught my attention. I looked up to see the boat fall to pieces. He grabbed my arm and I turned to see Jack struggling to hold Olivia up on his shoulder.
We swam down to meet Jack. Mason and I grabbed a side of Jack and pushed up. Olivia was knocked unconscious, and I kept looking at her pale face.
I wanted to tell her, everything will be okay, but I could not talk under water. I hoped she could at least feel what I am thinking. I looked at Mason and could see he was focused on reaching for air.
I caught Jack looking at me. Even though we were under water, I could tell he is crying. I could see the lining of the water get closer.
We rushed above and instantly turned to Olivia as Jack held her close. He placed his ear to her face and said, “She is not breathing!”
I held up her torso as Mason held up her head. Jack began pushing on her chest frantically. He placed his ear near her head again and shook his head side to side.
He placed his mouth on her mouth and began to blow in it. He stopped and pressed on her chest again. Jack’s voice began to shake, “Come on! Breathe.”
He continued to give her CPR and she did not respond. He held her close and screamed out into the open water. Jack was sobbing and then Olivia began to cough. Water spewed out of her mouth and she blinked her eyes several times.
She squinted her eyes and asked, “What happened?”
Jack answered, “You got punched and fell overboard.”
She rubbed her temple, where a huge welt began to appear, and said, “Ouch. So where is the boat? I am sea sick now.”
Jack shook his head, trying to hold back a smile at her joke, and answered, “The boat blew up.”
“Why?” she asked.
“Because it is a way to signal to headquarters something is wrong,” Jack answered.
I gave Olivia a hug and said, “Thank goodness you are okay.”
“Of course I am. But if what my dad said is true, then that means we better leave now,” she said while patting my back.
We all agreed and continued to swim towards the land. As the adrenalin rush faded in my bones, my muscles were getting weak. My eyelids became heavy, and my strokes became paddles.
I looked around to see the others slow as well. Olivia still hung unto Jack and Mason was resting his eyes while floating on his back. He was still doing small back strokes.
I couldn’t keep up my strength anymore. I decided to just float on my back as well, and let the currents float me the rest of the way. I only remember being dragged across and being placed on a solid surface.

What felt like several minutes later, I awoke feeling dazed and confused. The Sun blinded me as I opened my eyes. I felt around to determine where I was, and only felt sand between my
