Oscar grew up to become a police officer, and one day, he saved an older woman from drowning. She looked up at him from the stretcher, and her eyes flared after recognizing the pendant on his neck. Then his parents told him the truth about her.
“I’m going to get an ice cream cone,” Oscar’s father, Neal, said during their outing in Lake Louisa State Park. His mother, Dorothy, decided to go with Neal for ice cream while Oscar watched the lake and reminisced. His parents loved him dearly, and he was grateful for that, as he had recently graduated from the police academy.

They had given it to him as an infant, and he had worn it since. They told him it was vital for him to have it, but no one else in the family had any idea why.

Oscar noticed that a woman had fallen off her kayak and was fumbling in the lake. He took action immediately, grabbing an empty boat and rowing towards her location. The woman had gone underwater, seemingly unable to keep swimming anymore, so he had no choice but to dive and reach for her.
Luckily, she was breathing on her own when they surfaced, and Oscar got her on his boat and back to shore immediately. His parents had returned from getting ice cream, and they were frantic. “Oscar! You saved this woman! Is she ok? Neal, quick call 911!” Dorothy exclaimed, frazzled.

“I already called them, dear. It’s fine—” Neal began but stopped when he got a good look at the woman. She was still breathless and wet, but he recognized her...
