I fell in love with this movie when I first saw it! I hope you enjoy this.
"Rebecca Grady?" A man's voice interrupted her thoughts and she looked up. She immediately recognized the logo on the polo shirt he wore, and judged his pleated khakis.
InGen… 'Haven't they had enough trouble already?' She thought to herself, annoyed that they had tracked her all the way to her work.
Her parents had warned her about them, but she didn't think they'd find her here. She was in her early-twenties living on her own working a part time job and paying her way through college. It wasn't like her parents couldn't help her, it was the fact that she was so independent and stubborn she insisted on making her own way.
The one condition was that if she needed help she would call her parents right away. So far her pride and will had kept her going strong and with grants and scholarships her part time job was really just for pocket change. She worked at a small diner as a waitress and enjoyed it for its atmosphere and for her coworkers.
Speaking of coworkers, a glimmer of a thought passed through the back of her mind of how to get out of this mess.
The man questioned her again "You are Rebecca Grady are you not?" She flicked her eyes to him over the counter.
"It's Becca, and who's asking?" She regretted her sarcastic attitude sometimes, but now was not one of those times.
He allowed his mouth to turn up in a clearly fake smile. "I'm with InGen Technologies, and I received some information that your father used to work for us on a highly classified project, is there any way you can help us contact him?"
At this she was mildly surprised. Contact him? She knew her father had a gift for running these guys off their property before, but to have them looking for him through her as though he were missing was sketchy.
"Why don't you go find him yourself? I'm sure you know our address." She stared blankly at him not giving in to his obscurity.
He shifted his weight from one foot to the other "We have already tried and the truth is he refuses to meet with us. We were hoping that you could…"
"Excuse me." She grabbed a water pitcher and moved around him effortlessly to refill glasses of her customers. She stayed lingering longer at her tables than normal to give the guy a hint. Upon her return to the counter she saw he had settled on to one of the bar stools across from her.
He continued as she grabbed a rag to clean the marble surface in front of her "Miss Grady, we were hoping you could at least talk to your father about contacting us. It is of vital importance to our network and we would offer you substantial reimbursement for your time and efforts."
She paused in her wiping down the counter. "You're trying to bribe me into convincing my dad to work with you?" She smirked shaking her head in disbelief. "You just don't get it do you?"
He immediately dropped his salesman routine and turned into what she thought he'd be like in the beginning.
"Well Rebecca, we also have the power to discontinue your funding for school and have you unenrolled from said university." He reached down the bar collecting a toothpick and shoving it smugly between his lips.
She thought of how far she had come and how she was half way through her degree and raised an eyebrow in protest, "Are you threatening me?" she said loud enough for others to here.
He glanced around nervously "No, not at all. Just stating the facts Rebecca." He laughed an easygoing laugh and she exhaled quickly through her nostrils folding her arms.
"Now, Miss Rebecca…"
She rolled her eyes and turned to walk into the kitchen through double doors. She paced over to her manager who was also the chef and sighed "Jerry, there's a creep out there trying to threaten me and my family, I'm going to disappear back here for a while ok?"
He looked up from the griddle and leaned back trying to catch a glimpse out the oval widows of the kitchen doors. "What's he want?"
She explained quickly and he removed his apron tossing it to the other chef. "Don't want to get blood on it" he winked at her walking towards the dining area. Jerry was not a small man in any sense. Tall, wide, muscular, he was a force to be reckoned with.
"This the guy?" he asked pointing at the InGen employee. She nodded and watched as the man stood up off the stool backing away from the manager.
"I heard you were threatening one of my girls. Care to elaborate?" Jerry popped his knuckles in a display many shrank from.
"No, I simply implied that we could help or delay her schooling depending on her decision to help us." The man seemed a little tense but not quite panicking…yet.
Jerry laughed "I don't know where you're from son, but around here we call that a threat and I won't stand for you doing that to anyone in my employ."
The man tried to recover himself. "Listen sir, I merely want Rebecca to know…"
Jerry pointed a large finger at him "Look here boy. You stay away from Becca, and you get out of here right now."
The man looked back at her and she smiled pleasantly and waved. He nodded and ducked out of the diner.
The diner erupted in cheers and clapping. Jerry raised his fists as though he had won a boxing title and retreated back toward the kitchens. He paused on his way past her and smiled laying a hand on her shoulder I've got your back kid." Before he could make it back into the kitchen the man walked back in followed by three men dressed in black wearing sunglasses and a man in a suit.
"What did I just say?" he yelled at the man in the polo.
The man smirked and said "You told me to get out, but never said I couldn't come back and shut you down."
The man in a suit opened a file container and held out a signed form from the health inspector detailing that the restaurant was to be shut down immediately."
Jerry glared at the man and took the paper "A warrant for closure, are you serious?"
She knew exactly where this was going and untied her apron laying it on the counter "Jerry, I'll go with them, don't worry about it."
Her manager looked at her and shook his head "Oh No you won't."
The man in the polo shirt smirked. "Sir, if she just agrees to come with us to her parent's home we will see she arrives there safely and all of this will go away." He motioned to the form in Jerry's hand.
Jerry laughed his bellowing laugh again. "You think I'd let you take her?" He tore up the paper in to tiny pieces. "I can make this go away too you know, you're not the only one with connections."
"Jerry." She placed a hand on his arm. The suited man looked green at what Jerry had done with the legal documents. "I can handle myself, let me go."
She looked at him meaningfully and moved back to the counter sliding her timecard towards her fellow waitress. "Amanda can you cover for me?" She girl popped her bubble gum and smiled a crooked smile "Sure Becca hun, give'm hell."
She smiled and grabbed her purse, but instead of walking out the front with them she veered to the right down the hall way. When the polo man tried to follow her she turned on her heel. "Wow you are desperate to have to follow a girl to the restroom."
She turned again leaving him in the hall way while she entered the ladies room. Marching to the opposite wall she took the trash bag out of its container and left it upright on the floor while turning the can itself upside-down.
'I would hate to make a mess for Amanda to clean up.' She thought calmly as she climbed up on the base of it and hopped through the small window at the top of the wall. Thank goodness for her little brother's parkour training.
Squeezing through was no big deal, but making sure she wasn't seen or followed was her main concern. She snuck around to the back parking lot and ducked behind her jeep. Two guys in black with sunglasses were standing on the other side of the lot next to an InGen truck. She waited till they were facing away and swung herself up into the jeep, dropping her purse on the floor she climbed over to the driver's seat and placed her key in the ignition. For good measure she retrieved her baseball cap and sunglasses from the middle console and put them on.
She started up the engine and backed out of her spot, not making eye contact with the men. She drove off and made sure they were still standing there in her rear view mirror before pulling onto the main road. She smiled as she drove back by the restaurant windows knowing Amanda would see her, but what she didn't expect to see was the diners and Jerry chasing the InGen men out of the restaurant throwing food at them. She laughed out loud and hit the gas wondering how far ahead of them she would be.
