Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Not Enough

Much to his relief, Judd’s evening passed uneventfully, and he was able to get a full-night’s sleep. It wasn’t until the middle of breakfast that he and Alex received a call. According to the dispatcher, a two-year-old child had fallen into the family pool.

Judd felt a knot in his stomach as Alex pulled the boxy red truck to a stop in front of the address they’d been given. A man met them as they got out of the truck, frantically pulling them towards the back of the house. “Please, hurry, my baby fell into the pool!”

Pulling along the gurney loaded with gear boxes, Judd and Alex followed the man through a side gate into the backyard. At the edge of the pool, a woman sat holding a small girl, both of them soaked to the skin. The woman wailed as she rocked the child. “My baby!”

“Ma’am, let us take a look,” Alex said gently.

“Marisol, let them have her!” the man urged. “They’re here to help.”
