Chapter 3: It's Sorna Time

San Jose

Harvey David put his feet up on the table and began to tilt his chair back. The waiters at the restaurant tried to ignore him, but the women at the restaurant couldn't take their eyes off of him. Harvey was always considered good-looking, but never considered extremely intelligent. Harvey planned on going to college after high school, but was rejected by every college in Arizona.

Harvey then decided to become a police officer, but was kicked out of the academy after a he was caught driving a stolen car. Harvey, then at age 24, took his minor weapons skills and became a mercenary. Now, at age 30, Harvey was still a mercenary and enjoyed his life.

Harvey opened his left eye to see three women talking with a waiter. The waiter sighed and left for the kitchen. A minute later, the waiter came back with a mug of beer saying, "A gift, from them."

Harvey chuckled as he took a sip of the beer. The waiter walked off as Harvey closed his eyes, only to have the chair swept from under him. Harvey stood up to see Julius Wright standing next to him. "Julius," Harvey mumbled, "Don't tell me you're coming, too."

"That's right," Julius replied smugly. "I'm coming, too." Julius Wright was a fellow mercenary and considered the bet in the business. Harvey always resented him, especially since he was the second best.

"So," Harvey said, sitting back down, we're just going to an island to pick up some documents. Why are you bringing a gun?"

"I'm a mercenary," Julius responded. "I never leave home without it." Harvey smiled as he finished off his beer. Julius sat next to Harvey, but the eyes of the women at the table were still fixated on Harvey. The two men sat in silence until Julius glanced at his watch and said, "We're supposed to meet Henry's daughter at the docks."

"Tomorrow," Harvey replied.

"No," Julius corrected. "I don't know if you got the call, but she's coming tonight and were supposed to meet her at the docks on midnight and it's 12:30." The two men stared at each other for about five seconds until they dashed out of the restaurant.

Tina glanced at her watch for the fifth time in the last minute. Tina was getting impatient. Tina stood on the thirty-foot long boat, leaning against the modified Ford Explored that hauled onto the ship an hour ago. Tina sighed until her cell phone rang. Tina answered to hear a clearly disappointed male voice on the other end. "Scott Green is no longer trustworthy."

"Don't rule him out just yet," Tina explained. "Scott may have his loyalties a little mixed up, but he is with us, and he won't tell."

"I can't take that chance," the voice replied. "Scott can no longer be trusted to make sure no one follows you. I will make sure you aren't followed and keep a close eye on Scott."

"Don't do anything drastic," Tina ordered.

"No promises," he replied. "If Scott gets out of hand, I will have to resort to drastic measures in order to make sure Stephanie Maximoff loses the election. Good luck on your end." Tina hung up her phone, just in time to see Harvey and Julius running up the docks. "You're late," Tina chastised.

"Hey," Harvey complained, "It's not my fault. I didn't get the memo."

"Never mind," Tina ordered, "Just get on the boat. When we get to Isla Sorna, we'll take the Explorer to a metal control room. We'll get the documents and leave within the day." Harvey and Julius nodded and hopped on to the boat. Tina ordered the Costa Rican captain to head off to Isla Sorna.

Dean's Office

"That. Was. Perfect!" exclaimed Benji. Stephanie and Erik clearly weren't seeing what Benji found so exhilarating. "Don't you see?" Benji continued, "Even though the lights went out, that crazy guy clearly had proof of some sort of corruption with Henry Gibson."

"That's exactly the problem," Erik replied, shaking his head in disappointment. "He was crazy. The fact that the paper he had was lost allowed Henry to write it off as just a random insinuation."

"But that's not how the media's going to spin it!" Benji yelled with excitement. "The media will say anything to get viewers, viewers who votes. These allegation will turned the election in my favor."

"You mean our favor, right?" Stephanie accused.

"Of course," Benji assured. "That's what I meant. The point is, because of that crazy guy, the polls will tip in our direction, just enough to win this thing. Nothing can stop us now!"

"We're running for governor, not taking over the world," Erik said in an attempt to calm him down, "but you do have a point. The polls will tip and it's only a matter of how the press spins it to see how far it does tip."

Tina's Dorm

Janet returned to her dorm at roughly 2:00 A.M. She spent most of the night helping campus security figuring out that someone sabotaged the lighting in the auditorium. Janet read the note written on the door that explained that Tina left for Paris early. Janet was so tired, she didn't even give a second thought to it as she tossed it in the garbage and nodded of to sleep. Janet's sleep wouldn't last long as about 3:00 A.M., Dimitri barged in.

"I heard there was an incident at the debate." He said smugly. Janet, still half asleep crawled out of bed and asked, "Couldn't have that have waited until morning?"

"Not really," Dimitri replied smugly. "You see, this guy wearing a black leather jacket and ripped jeans-"

"Hey," Janet interrupted, now fully awake. "That's the guy I saw the other day looking for the bathroom, but something tells me that he was looking for something else."

"Interesting," Dimitri replied, "because I met him minutes before he crashed the debate and gave me-" There was a knock on the door that interrupted Dimitri. Dimitri opened the door to se Scott standing there with an angered look on his face. Dimitri closed the door behind him as Scott grabbed his collar and said in an angered whisper, "I distinctively told you to give this to your mother and last time I checked, your mother was Stephanie Maximoff, not Janet Korvoloski."

"What do you mean, 'Last time I checked?'" Dimitri replied in a confused whisper, "and how do you know all this stuff?" Scott didn't respond and Dimitri continued, "Why don't you just give it to her yourself?"

"I thought I could trust you," Scot explained. "I can't now that she thinks I'm insane."

"No offense," Dimitri whispered back, "but I think you're insane, too." Scott lowered his head and began to mumble to himself before replying, "Just check Tina's e-mail. You'll see what I mean."

Scott walked off as Dimitri entered the dorm. Janet was confused. "What the hell was that about?" Dimitri explained it was nothing, but Janet didn't seem to believe him. "Anyways," she said, going back to the old subject, "You said the guy in the leather jacket gave you something?"

"Right," he replied. "He gave me-" Dimitri paused. As much as he thought Scott was crazy, anyone who would barge into a debate had to have some sanity. "He told me to check Tina's e-mail." Janet was confused. Dimitri continued to explain. "He said to check I and he'd show me what it mean."

"Janet didn't respond for a few second before sliding over to the computer. "You're lucky I know her password," she replied. After managing to enter, Janet and Dimitri found two recently read e-mails.

The first one was from Julius Wright. "That name," Janet explained. "The guy in the jacket mentioned that name at the debate." The e-mail read:

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ignore your rule. I always bring a gun on my travels, no matter what the mission.

The second e-mail was from Harvey David, which Janet explained was mentioned at the debate as well and was dated only five hours ago. It read:

What! I just got word that Julius Wright is coming. I suppose this is the time to prove myself better than him. Meet you on Isla Sorna!

"No way," Janet stammered in disbelief. "Isla Sorna is the island that your feather explains in inhabited with dinosaurs."

"There are no dinosaurs there." Dimitri explained, "but whatever is on the island, it's deadly."

S.S. Gibson

"Back it up carefully," Harvey explained on the Isla Sorna shore. Julius ignored Harvey as he backed up the Ford Explorer off the boat. Tina ignored Julius and Harvey's mindless squabbling as she stared off into the trees. "This is it," she whispered to herself. "My hideout house is only a mile to the north."

Julius and Harvey managed to stop squabbling enough to successfully get the Explorer off the boat. Tina hopped in the back and instructed them to drive north. After minutes of uneventful driving, Tina gasped at what she saw.

"The hideout house!" she yelled. "It's been destroyed!" Harvey and Julius seemed oblivious to the fact that their job was now over until Tina explained it. Julius sighed ad turned the Explorer around. Tina couldn't believe it, but she could believe what awaited her at the docks. Julius stopped the car in shock as a group of three raptors stood on the boat with pieces of the captain clearly in view.

Julius put the car in reverse, but not before the raptors began to attack the Explorer.
