Chapter 28: Updates and Plans
Daniel was busy checking park security, when he heard Ethan's voice on the walkie talkie. He picked it up.
"Yeah, what is it, Ethan?"
"They get the T-Rex under control yet?"
"Yeah. Jacob just radioed in that it's asleep. They're transferring it now. They found the damned thing all the way by the lab."
"See, I told you! You have to be aware of the unexpected, Daniel. The lab is very, very close to the right portion, you know."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, you can come back now."
"Where's Mr. Bodan?"
"On his way to the lab, with Smith."
"The lab? Why?"
"The lab tech, what's his name again?"
Ethan took pride in knowing everyone's name who worked on Isla Norte.
"His name is Norman."
"Yeah, well . . . Norman . . . called us in a panic, saying something had gotten out in the lab. We can't seem to get a hold of him now, so Bodan and Smith went to investigate."
"I hope he's all right," Ethan said.
"I'm sure he is. You know how weekend help is, Ethan. They're not the most highly qualified people in the world."
Ethan didn't respond to that. He just continued with his questions.
"So, did you find the Raptors yet?"
"No. I was able to get two more cameras working. In the mall and in the lab. Only one room each, though."
"That's going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. Those dinosaurs move very swiftly. They might run right past that camera, and you would never know."
"I know that. I'm recording. I'll watch it in hour intervals, until I spot them. Hopefully, they'll go into one of those buildings."
"That's impossible to predict," Ethan said.
Daniel was getting irritated. He had already been chewed out by both Bodan and Jacob, and was growing tired of people second guessing his decision-making skills.
"Just get the hell over here, Ethan."
There was a silence for a few seconds. Then, Ethan finally answered.
"Okay."
Daniel put the walkie talkie back down on the desk, and went back to checking on park security. He suddenly thought of something and picked the walkie talkie up again.
"Ethan?"
"Yeah?"
"Before you leave Control Room 2, could you somehow get the monitors in the lab working? I know that there are only a few cameras working, but it could help Bodan, when he gets there."
"Okay, Daniel," Ethan said, thinking about how long that task might take. "I'll have them up in about 20 minutes."
Daniel looked down at his watch.
"Good enough. And then come back here, when you're done. Mr. Envoy is coming here in less than two and a half hours."
"Envoy is coming here? Why?"
"Never mind that. Just get back here. We've got to get this park under control before he gets here."
"You got it. I'll be there soon."
