ET- Tele-Replicant Voice

The little replicant leapt from the petals toward Elliott, but its diving form was worse than Elliott’s and it landed near the filter drain, which started sucking it in. Help, cried the replicant, and the lifeguard turned his head.

  Did I hear somebody yell for help?

  He scanned the pool but there were just two kids in the water, Elliott and Julie; the others were playing around the edge. The lifeguard returned to contemplating his suntanned navel, and Elliott swam toward the ladder, doing his famous Australian dog paddle.
...

  El-li-ott, cried the little replicant, fighting against the pull of the drain, and thrashing in the water.

  Elliott turned his head, but there was no one there, only a few rainbow reflections glittering on the water’s tossing surface.
