Prologue:
John Hammond straightened his tie as the chopper began its decent towards the ground. He straightened out the wrinkles in his jacket suit and clutched the hand hold of his walking stick with a nervous fist. The chopper touched down on the hard earth as people frantically ran around below them covering dig sites with waterproof tarps to protect their finds. The door was pulled open and Mr Hammond stepped down from the helicopter, the blade's velocity deteriorating.
A man in an Akubra hat clasped his hand and shook it, drawing him away from the dust. "Dr. Grant!" smiled Hammond heartily.
Dr. Alan Grant smiled in return although his smile was slightly more forced. He knew all too well what a visit from John Hammond meant. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked sarcastically.
John shook his head, a rueful smile touching his lips. "Why do you always expect the worse of me Alan?" he said.
"Well apart from the fact that every time you show up here I end up on an island full of bloodthirsty dinosaurs," he replied.
Hammond nodded "I admit that there have been a few kinks in my plans over the years but now, there all gone, and I've come to make you a proposition."
"Oh really? Another one?" Alan asked sarcastically.
John laughed. "Alan this time it's different! I promise you," he said.
"John I'm not going back there, I'm sorry," Alan said as he turned to walk away, John following him.
"The park is complete and we've completely remodified the DNA genomes as well as redesigned the parks security systems, I assure it is 100% safe!" John said strongly.
Alan stopped. "So you came here to tell me that?" Alan asked.
"No of course not, well yes but you see I want you there for the grand opening in three days!" Hammond said.
"Let me guess, It'd mean a lot to you if I was there?" he said.
"Exactly!" John said excitedly.
Alan shook his head. "John, your messed up, I cannot go back there! It goes against every moral fibre in my body," he said plainly.
John reached into his pocket and pulled out a cheque book. "Alan, how much will it take?"
Alan paused, the funds for the dig were running low and a top up would be greatly appreciated. John scribbled something on the cheque and handed it to him. Alan's eyes lit up. "John that's a lot of money," he said in disbelief.
"And it's all yours, I'll sign it right now if you'll agree to come with me to Isla Nublar," John breathed.
Alan muttered to himself. "One more trip to Jurassic Park couldn't hurt."
