Shane went in and out of focus. One minute he swor he saw a beautiful girl carrying him the next he was out again. He was dreaming of home. A small town on the California coast. He was dreaming of his family. Of his house. He was returning from a surf session when it had happened. A starnge undertow had carried him out. He fell into the water and felt he would die. But somehow he had made it to shore alive. He had no idea how he hd gotten there but he felt the sea had given him his life. A loan if you will. One he planned repay. He had always loved the sea after that. Some said saltwater flowed through his viens instead of blood. He had never tested that theory.

The thing missing from the dream was his own family. The job made having kids and a wife rather hard. He wanted one but he had a low life chance so no one would marry him. He thought he was rather good looking. Well some people said he did. His hair was a constant shade of blonde. His face was always a bit rugged since that was the style of a SEAL.

 The dream eneded suddenly with the sounds of waves crashing over him. He felt the cool sea air on his face. Was he alive? Had the ocean really released him twice? He opened his eyes and looked around. He could see the sky and knew that he was safe. He sat up a piece of seaweeed sliding off of his forehead. Odd... He looked around and started to laugh. He was safe. He was so damn luckily. He had to get out of the wetsuit since it did not doo good when dry. He was wearing only a pair of workout shorts underneath but that was fine with him. His skin was tanned from years under the sun but it was covered in scars. He was extremely muscular but that came with the job. 

As he lay with his bare back to the sand he noticed something. Footprints leading away from him. He looked around and saw they led to the treeline. They looked female so he did not take his knife. He walked towards the trees and could have sworn he saw someone. "Hey? Is anyone out there? Cause if there is I owe you my life. You must have dragged me to shore right?" He asked the trees. "I won't hurt you I promise." He said hoping he would conivince the person to come out. While he waited he climbed up one of the trees and grabbed some mangos. He started to eat one and left one for the mystery woman.
