it. The blow knocked the man from the jet ski, but he just managed to hold on. There was a massive bang and she saw that as Indigo landed the second jet ski had crashed into him.
Indigo was hurt, his breath was knocked right out of him and he screamed, âIndigo, Indigo, Indigoâ, over and over again. It was instinct, what dolphins do when they are in trouble. They call their name out over and over again, and thatâs what Indigo was doing now as the two men on their jet skis rode off with the Presidentâs daughter.
Disaster
âIndigo, Indigo, Indigoâ; Maddy was driving the boat, with her dad waterskiing behind, when Indigo called out his name in distress. The shock of his call caused her to momentarily bring the pressure off the boatâs accelerator and the boat dramatically slowed. Jorgos suddenly lost momentum and, being way out to the side of the boat and executing a sharp turn, needed all his skill to pull himself up to vertical and not fall into the sea.
Maddy then forced the accelerator down to push the boat to its limit, surging forward as fast as she could in the direction of Indigo. Jorgos, who had only just readjusted to the slowing down of the boat, then nearly lost his grip on the rope as the boat accelerated away, almost pulling his arms out of their sockets. âHey, hey, what are you doing?â he shouted.
At the same time, CJ was in the boat hanging on to his seat. He was also shouting at Maddy, âWhatâs up, whatâs happened?â
All Maddy could say was, âIndigo! Heâs in troubleâ and she gritted her teeth, pushing the boat forward to its limit. Jorgos had to use all his skill to hang onto the rope and stay up on his ski.
âThere, in front, thereâs Lunar and a few dolphins, Maddy,â shouted CJ.
Maddy had seen them too and raced to them, but now started cutting back on the speed. The last thing she wanted to do now was to hit a dolphin with the boat.
Lunar was up on the surface. Having pulled the boat under, she had been surfacing when she became aware that something was wrong. There were two jet skis above her, then something very small whizzed past her head, and then she saw a man floating there on the surface. On taking a closer look she noticed that he wasnât moving and he was face down in the water. There was also blood coming from him. Then she heard the jet skis speed off and, shortly after, she heard Indigo calling his name over and over again.
Lunar knew that things had gone badly wrong. The man was still just floating there, so she surfaced, coming up from underneath him and, with the man on her back, she lifted his face and whole body from the water. She knew that if he stayed in the water he would drown and she couldnât let that happen.
A group of about ten dolphins swam past Lunar then, heading towards Indigo, which made her feel much better. Indigo was still calling his name out over and over again.
Indigo was in trouble. The second jet ski had hit into his side hard. The man on the jet ski had seen Indigo jump into his accomplice and had turned his ski to hit into Indigo as he landed. Indigo had seen the jet ski turn, but had been helpless to do anything. The blow had knocked all his breath from him and he was now having difficulty breathing and staying above the surface, his side was so painful. He was calling out his name; it was all he could do.
Indigo was then joined by Stone, Star, Riddle and some of the other adults from their pod. They surrounded Indigo and held him up, supporting his body. âThe girl, they have taken the girl,â he told them and managed, through his laboured breathing, to explain that the two men on the jet skis had grabbed Lucy and sped off. Stone, Star and Riddle swam off at speed in the direction the men had gone. They would find out where they were taking Lucy. The others stayed with Indigo, who was slowly finding his breathing getting easier, but was still in a great
