Dylan was wearing thick rubber boots and gloves and a bright-orange life jacket. Attached to the life jacket was a yellow rope. Grandpa had tied the other end of the rope around one of the rocks. They had all the gear they’d need. It had taken them half a dozen trips to get everything in place.

Dylan looked over the edge of the cliff. Below him, no more than thirty feet away and fifteen feet down, Oreo lay on the rocks. The receding tide had left the orca and the rocks he was trapped on even farther from the water.

Even from this distance Dylan could see that the little orca was hurt. There were slashes of red visible on his tail fin. He’d been cut. Dylan wondered how much worse it might be in the places he couldn’t see—like Oreo’s belly, which was pressed against the sharp rocks.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Grandpa asked.

“We have no choice.”

“We could wait until the tide goes all the way out and then climb up to him from the beach.”

“You said that wouldn’t be for another hour. Can he…can he…can he live another hour?”
