Friends in Deed
【Reader’s Digest USA (March&April, 2024)】
Jameson Lobb, a 24-year-old investment banker and his college buddy, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri were squeezing in a lunchtime workout overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze.
“Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Jafri could ____1____, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the bank and ____2___into the cold water without taking the time to remove his shoes. What Lobb had seen then was a person floating, __3_____. Jafri didn’t need to see the victim. He just _____4___ his shoes and swan-dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds,
respectably dressed and ___5____ fast. The rescuer dove, felt around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both ___6_____. Jafri was there now. Treading water, the two friends floated the man on his back. As Jafri looped his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb __7_____the hips and knees, the pair undertook the slog back to the bank. Their lungs heaved and their muscles ____8___ as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the brisk, churning water.
They might have been hauling a corpse. The man’s skin was blue, and neither Jafri nor Lobb ____9__ any breathing. Suddenly the man stirred, breathing again, and ___10____ back to near unconsciousness.
Both men, ___11_____ exhausted from 15-plus minutes in the water, watched as rescue workers loaded the nearly drowned man into an ambulance and ___12____. Lobb and Jafri never learned who he was, what became of him or how he’d fallen into the river.
In place of that knowledge, they have a story they get to tell now, another experience that has further cemented their ___13____. Lots of people were there that day, yet only the two of them jumped in the water—because, they say, they were the ____14___ people there and, so, had a moral ____15____.
“People always say ‘If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping ’ I think I answered that one.” Jafri said, laughing.
