Discovery
Chapter 1: Package in the Mail
The Rhodes family car pulled to a stop by the front door. Jack and Penny Rhodes, father and mother of Kathy and Mike, left the car quickly, both going to their studies to begin work again. Next was Mike, who hurried off to a friend's house. All three of them left their bags in the car for their maid Millie to pick up.
Last to leave the vehicle was Kathy, dragging her suitcase and backpack along with her. She liked to think of herself as the only member of the family with a brain. Unlike the rest of the family, who had Millie do everything for them, Kathy was able to do things for herself. She smiled at Millie as she walked inside.
The first thing Kathy did when she arrived in her room, she threw her bags down by the bed and logged onto her e-mail. The entire time they were in Costa Rica, she couldn't think of anything else but the thing that had attacked them at the beach. She just HAD to tell someone. And she knew the perfect person: Lex.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tim Murphy, a twenty-five year old paleontologist, stood on the balcony of his Los Angeles home, staring out at sea. The waves rolled on to the beach every few minutes, that being the only sound to break the twilight air. He was just about to go down to the water's edge when the phone rang.
Slightly annoyed at whoever was calling to disrupt his peace, he picked up the phone with an exasperated sigh. "What?"
"Tim! Did you get it!?!" came the excited sound of his younger sister Lex. Lex was always hyper and full of energy. She had been this way for years.
"Get what?"
"The package I sent!"
"What package? I haven't checked my mail yet..."
"Well, do it now! It's important!"
"What is it?"
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. "Um...I don't know! But it seemed important!"
"Do I really have to, Lex? I'm bus-"
"NOW!"
Tim set the phone down on the counter and went to his mailbox. Inside were a few bills, the latest Playboy issue, and a huge paper package shoved within. He grabbed the mail, went back inside, and picked up the phone again.
"Okay, yeah, it's here."
"Didja open it?"
"I am, I am, will you just hold on a second!?" He ripped open the folder and found a thick sheaf of papers marked with the words "InGen Report: New Dinosaur Species".
Inside were diagrams and maps of some island he had never heard of, drawings and pictures of what looked like a Velociraptor, a handwritten note, and a long essay.
"Lex. What is this?" he said into the receiver.
"I told you! I didn't open it! It arrived here but it was addressed to you."
"Lex. Do you remember the park?"
Another pause. "Yes..."
"This has something to do with the park..." Tim set the package down. It had been fourteen years since that horrific disaster at Isla Nublar. Tim never forgot it. The raptors. The Rex.
"Tim! Tim! Tim?" Lex said, getting annoyed.
"Oh. Um ya. Sorry...I got distracted."
"Oh. Okay."
You have to see this, Lex. Can you come over tomorrow?"
"Sure. When?"
"Morning if possible. I'll call later. Bye." With that he hung up the phone. He sat down on one of the lounge chairs on the back deck and rifled through the papers again.
He picked up the note and read it:
Tim. I know you don't know me very well, but I decided this was something you needed to see. I am the current head of InGen Technologies, the company your late grandfather ran. This was found in a secret safe within Hammond's compound. It appears Hammond had a third island that even I did not know about., Isla Matanceros. Apparently, on the island, a brand new type of dinosaur was discovered. It was a type of Raptor, and the skeletons showed it to be more advanced than any previous species of dinosaur. Well, after the disaster at Isla Nublar, InGen left Matanceros for good, leaving the entire discovery behind. We have received word that Biosyn, one of our companie's rivals, has also received word of this Raptor and is setting out to steal the findings. I will be over to your house on Sunday the 23rd to discuss all this. Thank you.
- Craig Dickson, InGen Technologies
Tim's head was swimming. Why did InGen want him to know about it? Then it hit him. InGen wanted their dinosaur back, and they wanted Tim to help them.
As he looked through the rest of the package, some of it made no sense to him. The drawing of the Raptor was different than what he knew about dromaeosaurs. At first glance he thought it was wrong. He looked it over again and gasped. This Raptor was...advanced.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Yay! Chapter One! I made a mistake in the last chapter. Kathy and Mike live in California, not New York! Silly me! Also, if some of the numbers seem off, I meant them to be that way, lol. If you read it, please review! Flames will be read, then eaten! *drools*
