It was like Jake couldn't take his eyes off of her. She had beautiful tan skin, long sandy blonde hair, and sea blue eyes. Her whole aura reminded him of when he was a kid and would go down to beach with his mum. 

As Jake continued to think about her, she had successfully climbed up a wall with one hand holding Leonard and the other gripping the rope. Jake could see the individual drops of sweat forming on her forehead and standing there he realized how useless he was to the problem at hand. Jake positioned himself at the edge of the tank ready to catch Leonard. 

The girl gave him his friend, retied her hair and turned on her heel to leave. 

"Wait!" cried Jake. "I never got your name." 

"That's the point," the girl said. And with that she ran away. 

Jake dropped his unconscious friend on the ground and ran after her, for he was afraid he would never see her again. It was dark, and Jake could barely see where he was running, but it wasn't until he crashed into the person we wanted to see least in the world that he knew to stop running.
