Elena did not hesitate for a single second before diving headfirst into the cold, illuminated water.
She opened her eyes beneath the surface, swimming quickly toward the heavy wheelchair sitting at the bottom.
Marcus was struggling violently against his footrests, his air bubbles racing rapidly toward the surface above.
Elena reached down with all her strength, unbuckling the safety strap holding him firmly to the seat.
She wrapped her arms around his chest, kicking hard against the smooth floor to push them upward.
They broke through the surface of the pool, Marcus coughing and gasping desperate for quick gulps of air.
Elena dragged his soaked body toward the edge of the pool, gripping the tile edge with cold hands.
Victoria stood directly over them on the concrete, her face twisting into a furious, venomous glare.
Hearing the massive splash and struggle, Arthur came running through the patio doors in total panic.
He dropped his legal papers onto the wet deck and knelt down immediately to help pull Marcus out.
Victoria: She pushed him in! She tried to kill my husband right before my eyes!
Elena: That is not true! I jumped in to save him after you pushed his chair!
Arthur: Stop yelling and help me get Marcus on his side so he can breathe!
Victoria: Dad, call the police right now! Elena has been bitter about her job for months!
Elena wiped cold water from her eyes, shivering in her soaked grey uniform on the hard tiles.
She knew that her word against a wealthy family member would never stand up in a courtroom.
Elena: Look at the green garden bushes right beside the wall, Mr. Harrington!
Arthur turned his head sharply, staring toward the dark foliage near the edge of the stone wall.
A small black CCTV camera sat mounted among the leaves, its red recording LED glowing bright red.
Elena: The house security system records everything in high definition round the clock!
