Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[changa]

"So, you're officially staying?"
"Man overboard!" called a crewman, pointing over the railing. A limp body was floating on the surface.

[Question]

Ginny quickly ran to the edge, "Who is it?" She asked a man.

[changa]

"It looks like..."
Angelica gasped. "That's Aaron! Is he... is he..."

[Question]

Ginny jumped into the water, swimming towards Aaron, she picked the boy up quickly.

[changa]

"Is he alive?" Angelica called. She turned to Jack worriedly. "Jack, do you see him?"

[Question]

"Oi, you alright?" Ginny called to Aaron.

Jack hurried to the side, "Yeah!"

[changa]

There was no reply from Aaron. He continued to float in the ocean.
"He's dead. Isn't he?" Angelica said sadly. "Well, if he is, he should have a proper funeral." She stood on the railing, ready to dive.

[Question]

Ginny became a little sad, "Hey.." she nudged the boy once more. Sighing, she looked up to Angelica, "he's dead."

[changa]

Angelica dove in. "Help me get him back on board. He deserves a funeral." Then something occurred to her. "Did you check for a heartbeat?" She gently put her ear on his chest. "He's alive! But barely."

[Question]

Ginny hugged Aaron, "Then help me get him up on the ship!"
