Brooklynn was stuck at the bottom of the catch basin as water flowed in and rose above her knees. She stared at the manhole above her and knew that would be her way out.
JJ, Kiara and Pope screamed her name from outside the sewer, calling out desperately. Kiara wanted to climb in there herself, but JJ thankfully convinced her otherwise.
Brooklynn willed herself to duck back under the water and complete the mission. Thankfully with the rising water, the gun floated to the top.
She snatched the gun and tucked it in the back of her waistband, her quick movement caused her arm to brush up against a metal soda can that sliced her skin.
Brooklynn flinched at the feeling and made a hissing noise, but didn't think too much of it as she made her way to the ladder.
The ladder was extremely slippery so she had to cling on for dear life. She stuck her fingers through the holes of the manhole cover and called out to her friends.
"Brook, we're coming!" JJ yelled from above her on the street.
"We see you!" Kiara yelled after him.
Brooklynn knew Kiara and the boys were going to attempt to pull the cover up so she decided to get a headstart, pushing the cover with all her strength.
Even at the top of the ladder, water began to pool at her waist. JJ, Kiara and Pope made their way to the manhole and helped Brooklynn pull the cover up.
Brooklynn could hear their moans and groans as the four teenagers combined their strength. Even with them all pulling and pushing, the cover stayed still and refused to move even an inch.
"JJ, please! Help! Pope!" Brooklynn cried.
Brooklynn was beginning to lose hope as the water reached her neck, ready to swallow her whole.
"We're gonna get you out of there, Brook. I promise," Pope told her.
"JJ!" Brooklynn let out one more desperate scream as the water began to fill her ears.
No longer hearing her friends' voices, Brooklynn wondered if this was it. She was complaining earlier today about how she missed her family dearly.
Brooklynn and her mother, Ariella were the last Clementines left. Maybe this really was it. Maybe this was her destiny to die today with her friends, trying to save Sarah and John B.
Accepting the reality, Brooklynn closed her eyes and let go of the ladder, letting the water engulf her. She was ready to reunite with Adrien and Mark.
Brooklynn felt the water suffocating her. Normally it'd be an awful overwhelming feeling, but Brooklynn felt at peace.
Just as she began to see light again, a hand grasped hers and pulled her out of the manhole. JJ wrapped his arm around Brooklynn's waist and pulled her into his lap.
