Chapter Six - Pepper

When oxygen finally returned to my lungs, I belted out a blood curdling shriek, “Gabe!”

“Don’t worry, we got him. Lay still. Let’s get you on board,” the rescuer shouted. The sound of the waves below got quieter and the ocean seemed to move farther and farther away as they hoisted the boat slowly up the side of the Coast Guard ship.

“Gabe? Where’s Gabe?”

The man placed his hand on my arm. “Ma’am, we got him. Just relax as best as you can. We got your friend.”

“You got Gabe? You won’t leave him,” I asked. I tried to sit up to look for him, but I could barely move. My head throbbed and I wanted some water. “Can I…? Can I get something to drink?

”Yes, Ma’am, Just stay still a little bit longer and we’ll get you out of this and into a warm blanket.”

“Gabe… Gabe… Gabe...” I whispered, over and over as the tears spilled down my cheeks.

“Please try not to worry. He’s in good hands and we’re safe aboard now, so I need you to focus. I need you to sit up—we’re going to get you some help.”

“Thank you.” I couldn’t believe this had happened. It was all so surreal. Like something out of a scary movie.

“Can you sit up?”

“I think so,” I said, wiggling my toes, checking that they had blood circulating in them and that they could still move.

He lifted me up and wrapped his arm around my waist. “Put your arm around my neck. O’Neill! Come over here and help me. That’s it, ma’am. Put your other arm around Sander’s neck and we’ll get you to sick bay. Let’s get you in there and I promise you, they’ll bring your friend down to join you as soon as they can.”

“I can’t leave him!” I cried out desperately. I was still woozy—almost groggy. I wanted to fight them and stay until I’d seen Gabe for myself, but I was so weak and my brain was fuzzy—it was as though I was watching everything happen to someone else, not me.

“Your friend is safe but you have quite a head wound there and we need to take care of that, now.”

I turned and looked around the boat, hoping to see any sign of Gabe, but I couldn’t see anything as it was so dark. I didn’t want to leave the deck without him and my heart jumped into my throat when I saw another rescue boat being lowered into the stormy water.

“Gabe? Is he still out there? Gabe!” I screamed with all the strength I had.

“It’s okay, ma’am. I promise you, you’re friend is already on board with us. They’re just going to recover your boat. I’m sure you don’t want to see it on the beach in the morning and we can’t leave it drifting out here. It’s a hazard to navigation so we’ll take it in tow.”

I looked up at him and asked, “Are you sure he’s on board?”

“Yes ma’am. He’s definitely on board—I pulled him out of the water myself.
