My, Morgan can't catch a break! A few thoughts:

Perhaps delete "without pause." First paragraph shows he is being pulled in two directions, a nanosecond of hesitation.

Perhaps: (turned upright) as it sank
Typo: (broken) in the impact

Perhaps; seen (that) look
Typo: efforts were for (naught)

Suggest: the little girl begins to cough, whoever is doing cpr turns her on her side and then up comes the sea water. If you vomit while on your back you can aspirate the contents and that leads to another world of complications.

Perhaps on revision add more detail on how he swam with the two females and how he got the lady up the ladder.

Poor Morgan. Now he really needs to dry out!

Okay, you wanna make him a hero to show he ain;t all bad. The bad guys caused the wreck and in the midst of it, not thinking of himself, he risked his life to help them. His lawyer will still have a big job. If it goes that far. Karen

Morgan, to the rescue. Never a doubt in my mind. But what about the mother? If you want her to survive, and I hope you do. I think you need to consider her survival or death to be part of this chapter. Unless, you have a grand plan for her. Good Job. Terry.

WOW!! oh WOW!!! Morgan is definitely on the radar now, but as a hero. I'm sure the police department won't see it that way. The intensity of this was excellent.

Well told. You presented the action scene in a very credible fashion. Morgan's heroics were super, but not superhuman. Good work.
Best wishes to you and Morgan!

Yes, it all came back to me the scene in which Morgan was practising holding his breath underwater. Everything happens for a purpose! What a superman he is! But with heroism, comes notoriety which is not what he wants right now! Small edt: My years of swimming tell (no 's'). Another exciting, action-packed chapter. Well done! Debbie

And what of the mother of the child? Dead? Oh me. She shouldn't be. and will there be charges posted on Morgie for racing even though he was being attacked? More questions needing answers. I'll wait.

Yay, Morgan! He did something selfless. He's a hero! I love the 'giving away' of his miracle. The action kept me glued till the end. Nice job!
