THERE WAS SO MUCH DEBRIS swirling around Angel that Jake was shocked she could hold on. And there was no telling how long that would last. He did a quick estimate of the distance between the bank and the tree. It was no more than ten feet and normally that wouldnât be a problem. In these conditions, it was an abyss.
Jakeâs brain was going a mile a minute, trying to come up with a plan, when CiCi returned, carrying a bright orange ski vest and several life preservers. Rondelle was right behind her with a coil of rope looped over his shoulder.
âDonât come down hereâitâs too dangerous.â Jake didnât want CiCi that close to the water, but he sure could use the group of burly counselors she had with her. Thank God the cavalry had arrived.
âOh, all right,â she conceded.
âYou guys be careful getting down!â Jake yelled, the noise of the water almost drowning him out. âItâs slick. And, Greg, Keep the kids up on the top of the hill, especially Rondelle.â His favorite juvie was the most likely to try something silly, and the last thing they needed was someone else in the drink. Jake grabbed the ski vest CiCi tossed him and slipped it on. Heaven help them, they were on their own. Whatever they did, theyâd better do it pretty damned quick.
Jake called the college kids over and told them his idea. âIâm going to tie a rope around my waist and jump in upstream. Then Iâm going to try to swim to the tree. And after I get Angel tied to me, you guys pull like mad. Iâm counting on you.â He was hoping like hell he wasnât too heavy for this plan to work. These young men were literally his lifeline in this skirmish with the river. If they let go, he and Angel were both in a ton of trouble.
