Broken Turtles

The planes that had climbed before now fell upon the single jet. It turned and danced like a drunk witch. Its pursuers fired their guns. Being so close, they missed. The single jet almost touched the mirror smooth sea. A huge flying fish. It was impossible to tell what nation it belonged to. With a divine touch it turned crazily and got onto a pursuer's tail. And immediately obliterated it with a well aimed shot. Small bits fell to the sea.His wingman was mad and thirsted for revenge. It came quickly! In the blink of an eye the jet flew into the shooter with a Bang! There was a flash, black smoke and debris tumbling to the mirror smooth water.
"Look! Oh fuck, a parachute! Someone escaped," Jelma exclaimed, pointing. In seconds the 'chute fell into the shallow water, just off the beach.
Chen acted with speed. He sprinted into the gentle surf and swam to the pilot. The parachute had collapsed and was dragging the airman under. But Chen was there in thirty seconds. With skilled hands, he unclipped the orange canopy. It was caught be the sea breeze and taken out to sea. Chen got there just in time. The pilot was going under and swallowing water. He hooked an arm round his chest and back crawled to the beach. Jelma stood watching, speechless.
