She emerged with a deep gasp for air.

“His thigh is skewered,” she told Patrick, then turned with a softer voice to the child. “What’s your name honey?”

“Stevie,” the kid said, eyes wide and shivering.

Patrick spoke something into his radio that was lost to Amy in the roar of water. But she watched him, struggling to keep his footing, before he laced an arm into the grating and held himself steady, the boy between them.

Even in the light from his torch, she could see he was sweating and struggling to breathe. It seemed wrong somehow, and she kept an eye on him as she held onto to Stevie to keep him warm.

“Billy,” she called over the din. “Go back out, get a blanket and wrap up tight.”

He nodded, gave a final look of concern to Stevie, then waded back the way they’d come in.

“Can we cut this?” she asked Patrick loudly, cupping Stevie’s ears as she did so.

“Underwater torch is coming,” he replied, looking like he was unable to focus, his feet lifting in the tide of water so he was almost horizontal in the flow.

“You okay?”

“Fine.”

It was a clear and obvious lie.

Amy watched him a moment, deciding that he was in the midst of some kind of panic attack. She didn’t have time to deal with that now, and turned her attention back to Stevie.

His colour was concerning her, and she could feel how cold he was against her body. She wanted to pull him free of the rebar, but knew that was a bad idea, and that waiting for the torch was the best plan. In spite of everything, Patrick still had a clear mind on what to do.
