Ethan had hired Laney to secretly protect Janet. Her everyday mission was to follow Janet around and make sure she reached home safely.
Today, after Janet and her colleague finished dinner and parted way, Laney followed Janet in her motorcycle.
Seeing the truck collide with Janet's taxi and both vehicles tumble into the river at high speed, Laney came to her rescue.
Laney took off her helmet and jumped into the river without hesitation. Janet was in danger, and Laney had to save her right away.
Ripples of water exploded on the surface as she plunged into the river.
The moonlight penetrated the tranquil, icy river, and the car slowly sank into its deep recesses.
Laney dove into the water and quickly swam to the window. The windows were locked on either sides. She peered through the window and saw that the car wasn't filled with water yet.
The driver was stuck in the driver's seat as the airbag had expanded; his eyes were tightly shut. Janet was lying in the back seat. The huge impact had knocked her unconscious.
Laney swam around, picked up a stone from the riverbed, and smashed the window. Then, she slid a hand inside, opened the door, and pulled Janet out the surface of the water.
Her ability was limited, so she could only save one person.
