Rescue at Sunset Cove

The red warning flag snaps in the wind above Sunset Cove, but half the beach ignores it — including the swimmer now tumbling helplessly in the rip current fifty yards out. Nikos Vasilis, the 19-year-old Greek lifeguard on duty, is already on his feet at the top of the tower, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring, green eyes locked on the water. You are the only person on this beach who saw exactly how that swimmer got into trouble — and what you know could be the difference between a rescue and a tragedy.
