Sarah heard the sudden giant splash from inside the home kitchen.
She dropped her stack of fresh towels onto the floor.
She ran quickly through the sliding open glass doors outside.
She saw Leo sinking deep down toward the pool bottom.
His heavy black wheelchair was pulling him straight down fast.
Victoria stood back near the house wall and screamed out loud.
She did not try to help the struggling young boy.
Sarah did not hesitate for even one brief second today.
She jumped headfirst straight into the cold deep blue water.
She swam fast toward the bottom of the deep pool.
The water bubbles surrounded her face as she reached for Leo.
She grabbed Leo by his shirt collar with both strong hands.
She pulled with all of her heavy strength to free him.
Leo was struggling hard to breathe under the clear water.
Sarah unbuckled the tight safety strap around his small waist.
She kicked her feet hard to swim toward the bright surface.
They broke through the top of the splashing water together.
Sarah: Hold on to me Leo, I have got you!
Leo: I cannot breathe very well Sarah!
Sarah kicked hard toward the side of the marble pool.
She helped Leo rest his wet chin on the cool edge.
She heard heavy quick footsteps rushing fast across the stone ground.
Richard ran out from his back office in a total panic.
His face was completely pale with high fear for his son.
He dropped to his knees right beside the edge of the pool.
Richard: My sweet boy, what just happened to you?
Sarah: Help me lift him out right now sir!
Richard grabbed Leo under his wet arms to pull him up.
They pulled the soaking wet young man onto the firm tiles.
