Marty Guitierrez sat at a table in the Carlos' del resturante', a restaurant miles and miles from Cabo Blanco, the place where little Tina Bowman was bitten by what seemed to be a Basilisk Lizard, but turned out to be a rediscovery of a dinosaur. As he found out later on from his good friend, Richard Levine, there were actually dinosaurs still on the planet. So the fact was, Tina was bitten by what Levine called a Procompsognathus Triassicus, which was a small scavenger that wasn't bigger then the size of a chicken.
He stared at his watch and sighed. A man wanted to meet him there about an hour ago, but still had yet to show up. Guitierrez wasn't someone to stay hours upon hours waiting for someone whom he didn't even know to show up.
Guitierrez was about to get up and leave when a man came in the restaurant, walked up to his table, and sat down. He had a brown mustache under his dark sunglasses and graying brown hair.
"You're who I'm supposed to meet," Guitierrez said.
"Yes, sir," the man replied. "I am Paul Kirby. I'm the CEO of Kirby Enterprises. I'd like to ask you to help me with something, if you're willing."
"What would that be," Guitierrez said.
"I'm going to an island called Isla Sorna," Paul replied. "You know someone who went there a few years ago and I'm sure that he's told you a lot about the island. You're a Biologist correct?"
"Yes, I am, and in the case of-"
"Please consider coming with me, Dr. Guitierrez. I will be paying a lot of money to all of my team. It's worth your while believe me, sir," Paul said. "You won't be disappointed."
"Well, I don't usually take people up on adventures or even expeditions, but Richard always said that I should go to that island myself and take a look," Guitierrez said.
And it was true. Levine had told Guitierrez that he needed to go experience the island itself. All of the wonders on that island were said to be amazing. Levine was almost able to talk him into it awhile back, but Guitierrez decided not to when the Costa Rican Government banned people to go to that island for dangerous reasons that would not be told, because people would go if they knew the reasons for it being too dangerous anyway. However, people eventually found out the reasons from stories that Levine and a guy named Ian Malcolm had told to people up in the states.
"Why exactly are you going to Isla Sorna," Guitierrez asked.
Paul smiled. "I guess it won't hurt to tell you the truth. I'm on my way there to rescue my son, Eric. He ended up there because of a parasailing incident two days ago. My ex-wife went with him down here to enjoy a weekend with her boyfriend, and well something went wrong and now they're both stuck on the island. This is kind of what you'd call a rescue mission."
Guitierrez thought it all over in his head. He'd worked in Costa Rica for years making all kinds of breakthroughs in Biology, including the Compy rediscovery. The government down here had put a lot of trust in Guitierrez and he didn't want to test that trust. He knew that if they'd figured out about him going that he'd never be allowed to return to this country again. Then he thought of the two people that were lost on the island and realized that this man in front of him could really use some help from a world re- known Biologist like Guitierrez.
"Alright," Guitierrez said with a smile. "If it means saving a couple of lost souls, I'll do it."
"Thank you Dr. Guitierrez," Paul replied, smiling largely. "You won't regret this. I promise you. Our flight to the states leaves in an hour. We must get going."
"The states," Guitierrez asked. "I thought we were going to Isla Sorna?"
"Do you really want it to just be the two of us going to that island? We need to get the rest of my team."
Guitierrez was embarrassed by his stupidity. "That's right. I'm sorry." Guitierrez looked at his watch. "Well let's get going if we're going to make that flight."
The two men stood and left the restaurant.
