the jump

"Your looking very smart in your suit." Teased Connie as her and Jacob strolled around the grounds of the hotel.
"Thanks..." Smiled Jacob glancing at her out the corner of his eye. "...still not forgiven you for dragging me to this thing." He told her playfully.
"It'll be fine...just talk about how wonderful it is to be a nurse in emergency medicine for five minutes and then you can enjoy the free food and drink...." Connie nudge his arm with hers and grinned up at him. "...and the great company."
"Well you saved yourself with the last one." Said Jacob still looking unimpressed. "I hate public speaking."
Jacob put his arm over Connie's shoulder and pulled her close. "How could I pass up the opportunity to spend time with you." Said Jacob, it wasn't a question but a statement. They were both enjoying their time together outside of the E.D.
Since they'd broken up the only time they'd spent alone was in Connie's office sharing their breaks. Even though they were separated they still enjoy each other's company...for now, that was enough.
"I think we should head back...it looks like rain." Stated Connie looking up at the sky.
"Just two more minutes..." suggested Jacob urging Connie to keep following the path along the river, it was too soon to call time on their little break from reality.
"Two minutes, then we go back." Agreed Connie enjoying the feel of having his arm around her.

Connie and Jacob were startled from their thoughts by the sound of sirens coming from behind them in the distance, a lot further up the river than were they had walked.
Looking at each other they silently communicated. "Lets see if we can help." They said.
Briskly walking back the way they came they rounded a corner, that's when they saw an ambulance and fire engine.
Jacob took off into a jog to get to the scene quicker.
By the time Connie arrived he was walking back towards her. "Theres a young lad that fell in the water...he's been drifting downstream for about twenty minutes...he'll be getting tried and cold by now...the rescue team are set up further that way ready to scoop him out..." explained Jacob pointing in the direction they were walking." "...the paramedics are concerned about hypothermia."
"Oh god." Said Connie moving to the edge to look over the cliff top.
"He's there." Said Jacob pointing. They both watch as the boy bobbed below the surface of the fast moving water.
"Oh god." Said Connie again. "Hes not going to make it that far."
Connie frowned as Jacob took off his suit jacket and passed it to her. "What are you doing?!" She asked worried.
"You said yourself he's not going to make it that far....here hold this." He said passing Connie his jacket.
"Jacob!....don't you dare." Panicked Connie.
"Its fine...I swim rivers all the time..." smirked Jacob feeling brave.
"That's not just a river! That's borderline rapids!...and I bet you've never jump from a cliff to get in either!...." reasoned Connie.
Jacob moved back from the edge ready to take a running jump. "I swear to god Jacob! Don't you dare!" Shouted Connie out of desperation as he set of running and leaping as far as he could.
"JACOB!!" Scream Connie.
She watched with baited breath as Jacob came float up from the murky water, swimming as fast as he could to the boy and holding on to him, keeping him above the water.
The rain began to fall but Connie didn't care, her eyes never moved away from Jacob, watching intently at his progress.
She breathed a sigh of relief when rescuers pulled the pair onto the bank and wrap them in blankets.

Jacob slowly made his way back to Connie. "Are you ok?" She asked rushing towards him.
"I'm fine, just damp." He smirked, dropping the blanket he'd been given and stripped of his wet shirt and tie. "What?" He asked noticing Connie's glare.
"You're reckless...you know that?...what if that water wasn't as deep as it looked?" Said Connie looking unimpressed.
"Whatever..." Said Jacob dismissing her worries. "Everything worked out ok, I'm fine and so is the boy."
Connie continued to glare at him feeling her anger bubbling up inside at his blatant disregard for his own safety and his lack of consideration for her feelings, she hit boiling point when she heard Jacob chuckle.
"Your a complete idiot sometimes!....and don't think this has got you out of the conference...I'm going to get changed." She said throwing his jacket at him. "You've got an hour."
Jacob stood there in shock. "What the hell!" He chuntered to himself, his own anger rising as he watched Connie storm off back to the hotel.
