Apparently we won the game against the Dutch, but frankly I don't give a shit. My wife is more important.

Everyone is leaving in the morning, but tonight the team is in the conference room and we are about to watch a documentary ESPN/ABC did on me. The documentary is about me trying to break the free dive world record while integrating my past. I have no clue why they decided to make a documentary on me, but Lindsey thought it would help me and she hasn't been wrong before so I listened to her. She was always there when we filmed so they incorporated her into the documentary as well.

The team don't know that this is happening. Only the coaching staff does so they decided we would watch it and told the team we are having a movie night. We get to see the documentary a week early since tomorrow they will start promoting it on their networks. One of the things in my contract was that I didn't have to do a promo tour...actually I had to add that because there was no way in hell I was going to do any promo for this.

"So what are we watching?" Mal asks.

"It's a surprise." Jill says and starts the documentary.

The first thing you see is a black screen. The first thing you hear is my voice.

"Jacques Yves Cousteau once said, From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free." I say then my eyes are shown.

The camera then pans out and you see me standing alone on the edge of a boat in the Bahamas as the title of the documentary is shown. The documentary is called 244. After that is shown, the footage of me scoring the penalty in the World Cup final is shown and all the stuff that involved me after the game is shown as well while being narrated over.

Everyone on the team looks back at me, but I just watch the screen. As a voice is heard again everyone turns around.

"Cairo where does your passion for soccer come from?" The interview dude asks.

"It started with trying to prove to my family I was worth something. Now I just play because I enjoy it."

"Why did you have to prove your worth to your family?"

"My parents chose work over me. My grandparents didn't care that I was sexually assaulted when I was 15."

"Have you spoken with your parents?"

"No."

"And why is that?"

"My parents were killed when I was 5."

The screen fades to black then opens up to Lindsey and I walking around the compound my parents were killed in.

"Do you know what happened?" Lindsey asks.

"I could reenact it for you." I say.

"W-what?"

"Follow me." I say and lead Lindsey and a cameraman to the front door.

Now a dramatization of how my parents were killed is shown while I tell Lindsey how my parents were killed.

"There was 6 assailants. They shot the lock on the front door and rushed inside. My parents were in their office and when they heard the commotion they hid in their safe room. Their safe room was their bedroom and it became their safe room because they had blast resistant doors. Unfortunately the doors were rusty so the assailants used a crowbar and popped the door off the hinges then they rushed the room." I say.

The screen then fades out from the dramatization and fades in to me and Lindsey standing in the room my parents were murdered in.

"My parents hid in the closet and the assailants opened fire on the closet killing them." I say and open the closet.

"How do you know all this?" Lindsey asks.

"You'd be amazed with what threatening a law suit will do?"

The screen cuts to me training for the dive for a while then cuts back to the interview.

"Why don't you speak with your grandparents?" The interviewer asks.

"I lived with them from the time I was 5 until I was 15 and they never spoke a word to me." I say.

I then pause the video and everyone turns to me.

"This n-next p-p-p-part." I say, but can't get my sentence out because I start crying.

"Do you want me to tell them?" Lindsey whispers.

"Yes please." I whisper back.

Lindsey squeezes my hand and wipes the tears from my face then looks at the team.

"This next part goes into some detail about Cairo's rape. If you do not want to hear about it then we suggest you leave or cover your ears." Lindsey says.

Nobody moves so I resume the video and it shows me walking up to a house and knocking on the door then the screen cuts to black as my mic records.

"Hello...Oh Cairo. How are you?" The homeowner asks.

The screen is black to save the homeowners dignity. I can't believe they still live there.

"Hi (beep). I'm good how are you?" I say. They redacted the name

"I'm good. How can I help you?"

"Um ABC is filming a documentary on me and about my past."

"Oh. Yeah come on in."

"Do you want me to explain?" I ask the producer and I remember I was standing in the kitchen.

"As much as you can."

"Okay...um this all happened when I was 15. I was down here drinking a beer and while I wasn't looking the dude slipped something into my drink and that's the last thing I remember from down here on that night."

The screen fades into me standing in a hallway with the homeowner who's face and body is pixelated.

"We've locked the door and nobody has been in there since that night." The homeowner says with a disguised voice then hands me the key.

I then go to the door and stand outside it for about five minutes.

"You don't have to do this." Lindsey says.

"I know." I say then I unlock the door and step inside then close the door and sit against it so nobody can get in. The video just shows the door.

I didn't know what I was suppose to do so I just start talking out loud.

"Why? Why me? What did a 15 year old quiet, shy, scared little girl do to deserve to have her innocence taken from her." I say then my voice gradually gets louder. "Why didn't you stop? Why did you have to finish? Why did you have to get me pregnant? Why did you have to beat me within an inch of my life? WHY? WHY ME YOU FUCKING CUNT?"

A loud bang is then heard which is me putting my foot through the closet door. Lindsey is then shown banging on the door.

"Cairo I'm coming in." She says and opens then closes the door after she gets in leaving only her voice to be heard and a video of the door. "Oh baby."

"Why? Why me? What did I ever do?" I ask and I remember I was crying into Lindsey's chest.

"I can't answer that."

By this point of watching and hearing me recall my rape I'm in tears while cuddling into Lindsey's side.

"Hey it's okay baby." Lindsey whispers then kisses my head. "I love you so so much Cairo. I can't imagine how hard this was for you, but I'm so proud of you for doing this.

"H-how much more?" I whisper.

"Just the grave part then you doing your record." Lindsey says then we look back at the screen.

On the video I'm shown at my parents grave site.

"Am I suppose to talk?" I ask while staring at the tombstone.

"If you want." Lindsey says.

"I don't really know where to start...Do I start at the fact you decided to go to work in a different country and leave your only child to fend for themselves and only leave a note saying you have a fucking job to do or at the fact that you chose to go to work before my birthday and end up getting killed on my birthday?" I say then there is a prolonged silence. "You know what fuck this. You pieces of shit don't deserve my time."

I then walk away and the camera focuses on me as I walk away.

"Oh my god. That's why she doesn't like her birthday." One of the girls says.

There's more interview stuff about my life and then the record stuff starts. Thankfully we didn't include the Iceland stuff since only the team know about that.

"Cairo why do you free dive?" The interviewer asks.

"I enjoy it." I say and some of the girls laugh.

"Why do you think you enjoy it so much?"

"To be successful you have to forget everything. You have to leave all your worries, your problems, your everything above the surface otherwise you will die. It allows me to forget about what I've been through, to destress, and to just be free."

The interview stops and the preparation for the dive is shown. Everyone is making sure everything is in order while Lindsey is sitting on a seat next to me while I'm in my own world doing my pre dive meditation.

"Cairo they are ready for you." One of the producers says.

I get up from my meditation and zip up my wetsuit and grab all my equipment before heading over to where the judges are standing.

"Cairo Horan you will be attempting to break the world NLT free dive record of 214 meters by attempting to free dive 244 meters." One of the judges says.

Another judge then goes over what is going to happen, where the safety divers will be, and all that other crap I've heard before.

"Cairo how far down is that?" Alex asks.

"800 feet." I say.

"Cairo we are ready when you are." Somebody from AIDA, the international diving governing body, says.

I nod at the lady then walk over to Lindsey and hug her.

"I love you and stay safe." Lindsey says then kisses me.

"I love you and I'll see you in a few minutes." I say then jump in the water.

After getting in the water I get hooked into the inflatable lifting bags which help me ascend after hitting my mark. I'm also attached to a sled which takes helps me down the line to my mark and helps me ascend if I pass out. Once I'm all strapped up I put my mask on then I take one last look at Lindsey then begin my descent.

At 35 meters I stop and do an equalization stop which puts air into the ears, the sinuses, and the mask to equalize pressure and avoid deadly injuries.

After that's done the camera shows me descending and when I reach 100 meters below the surface I'm out of view of the camera so the screen switches to the go pro footage. One pointing up and one pointing down.

The whole time my dive is being shown the only thing that can be heard is music.

As I reach 214 meters, the previous record, the video showing my feet is playing and you can see my mark coming up. In the bottom right hand corner there is a count down until I reach my mark

"Touchdown." A voice from the boat says.

A few seconds later the sled starts to ascend and more safety divers get in the water. As my ascent is shown I remember this going a lot more quickly. I thought it was like five seconds, but it was like 2 minutes long.

When I finish my ascent the video fades out then fades in with me wrapped in a blanket while sitting in-between Lindsey's legs with her arms wrapped around me on the boat while the judges are talking.

"What's it like?" Lindsey asks.

"What's what like baby?" I ask.

"Going down that far."

"It's different then when I free dive with scuba divers. There's less fish because of all the commotion going on...it's probably the closest thing to dying then coming back to life."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Well as you descend the light gradually decreases until you can't see anything. While on the ascent the light slowly comes back."

"That doesn't sound too relaxing." Lindsey says and I laugh.

"Babygirl I'm not actively thinking oh hey this is like dying."

"What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing really. I never think about anything...Oh I forgot to tell you something."

"What's that?"

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too." Lindsey says then pecks my lips.

"Cairo Horan." Someone from AIDA says and I look up at the judges. "Congratulations. You are the new record holder for the world's deepest NLT free dive with a record dive of 244 meters."

There's then clapping from the people on the boats and the last thing that is seen is me smiling and shaking hands then the credits roll. As the credits roll I stop the video and everyone looks at me.

"Okay first off all that's fucking awesome that you have a world record." Ash says and I laugh. "Second...how could you not tell us you were doing this?"

"Wasn't suppose to be public until today." I say.

"Why was Lindsey always there?" Mal asks.

"Well she's my wife so there's that. And then she's the reason I said yes to this so I only did it if she could be with me."

"Do they have footage of Lindsey on the boat while you are diving?" Pinoe asks.

"Yeah." I say then chuckle. "She was a nervous wreck."

"You would be to if your wife was 800 feet below sea level." Lindsey says.
