Help search in files

Hi guys. I had alot of luck last time I came here but not so much this time. I've searched around the forums for awhile but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Here is my problem.

I wrote a program that askes the user some questions. Then based off the info they entered it looks to find if a lead came in through our archives. What I need to do is when it finds $unique in the file then search UP to find the word Event arrived and display that. It isn't a set number of lines above. it can be from 1 - 100 lines above.


Archive:
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX
Event arrived 13:45
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX
$unique

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "What hour was the lead sent? Use 2 numbers in 24hr"
