Dave’s heart sank as the voice on the other end of the line delivered an unhelpful response. His hope of rescuing whatever was trapped inside the storm drain began to fade. The suggestion to involve the city seemed like a bureaucratic dead end, and he couldn’t bear the thought of waiting for approval while the trapped creature remained in danger. Though his options were dwindling, Dave knew he had to find another way to help.
Dave was faced with a difficult decision. He understood that involving the city would take time, and time was a luxury he could not afford. The thought of something being trapped in the pipe for even one more minute was too much to bear. He couldn’t shake the image of a small, helpless creature struggling to escape from the darkness below. He knew he had to act fast, despite the risks and consequences.
