28. ELLIE'S RESCUE
Based from the movie Jurassic Park 3 written by Peter Buchman, Alexander
Payne, and Jim Taylor
Friday, July 15, 1999 Washington, D. C.
Mark Reiman drove his Ford Taurus down the road, going as fast as he could trying not to go over the speed limit. Ellie sat beside him staring out the window breathing hard and shaking her head. Mark had walked back into the house after Charlie had told Ellie that the dinosaur man was on the phone. He had listened to Ellie on the phone trying to make sense of it all, but couldn't understand what was going on.
Now here he was, driving to his military office to talk to someone about something of which he still had yet to understand. He looked over at his wife and decided to break the silence. "What's happened, dear?"
"Something terrible," Ellie replied. "Alan is in trouble. He's on Isla Sorna."
"That island filled with dinosaurs," Mark asked shocked.
"Yes," Ellie replied almost yelling. "We have to save him now."
Mark could now understand what was happening. They had to save Grant and whoever else was on Isla Sorna. This was not going to be an easy task. People were banned from going to Sorna and he knew that the government wouldn't allow them to go either. He didn't believe that this was going to work out at all.
Mark pulled the car up to the entrance gate, nodded to the guard, and entered. He pulled his car into a space, both of them getting out, and entered the building.
Inside Ellie saw lots of people walking around, doing their normal routine. Most were handing off papers and talking about the day's assignments. Mark and Ellie then entered an office containing three major people to the government.
"Mr. Reiman," one of the men said. "Why are you back today? I thought you'd left already?"
"General Powell," Mark said turning toward Ellie. "I'd like you to meet my wife, Ellie Reiman. She has something to discuss with you."
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Reiman," Powell said. "How can we help you?"
"Have you heard of InGen or Isla Sorna," Ellie asked.
Powell looked at the lady right in the eyes and decided that it would be best to discuss this without the other men around. "Mr. Parnell, Mr. Marshall, would you please leave us," Powell asked.
The two men looked at the general oddly and then left, shutting the door behind them.
"InGen and that island are off limits to everyone," Powell informed. "No one is allowed to go to that island or even get within thirty miles of-"
"General, I feel that I must tell you that some people are on that island, one that I really care about and you need to send a rescue to that island immediately," Ellie commanded. "There isn't much time."
"I'd help you if I could, but the dangers on that island basically say that those people are already dead," Powell implied. "There is nothing that we can do or will do. The military has to many other pressing problems to deal with besides dinosaurs. I'm dreadfully sorry but-"
"There are no buts about it," Ellie screamed. "You have to save them! If you don't there will be a terrible disaster! If you don't help me then I'll do it myself!" Ellie then proceeded to storm out of the room, slinging the door open, and storming off.
"I'm sorry about that," Mark said.
"Don't let her go to that island," Powell ordered. "It's too dangerous. She could be killed too."
"I'll do my best, sir," Mark replied running out the door to catch up to Ellie. She was already halfway out the building when Mark finally caught up to her.
Ellie ran out of the building and up to the car. She slammed her fist into it as she started to cry. "Ellie, hun, we have to move on. General Powell is right. There is no hope for Dr. Grant. We have to except it."
"You can except it if you want," Ellie said, tears in her eyes. "I'm going to that island with or without you. You decide, but one way or another, I'm going to save the dinosaur man."
