Not Again
"Sarah, Sarah, swettie, pick up. Come on Sarah. Okay, call me as soon as you get this." Ian Malcolm hung up his cell phone.
He walked on the campus of the university, he seemed rush. His daughter came running from behind.
"What are we going to do, Dad?" Kelly sounding worried.
"I don't know, Kel." He said wiping his face. "Damn girl. Damn girl." He muttered to himself.
"We got to save her."
"I know, Kel. Sarah isn't answering. Dammit, why did Sarah have to go to Africa now?"
"We got to do something, Dad."
"I know. I know." He stopped and tried to think. He sighed. "I'll try the U.S. Embassy."
"They wont do a thing!"
"How do we know that?"
"But you hate that government crap."
"I know but. Damn girl, why did she leave?"
"Dad, we got to go and get her."
"You know we can't do that!" He screamed.
"What chose do we have?! Let her die?!" Kelly yelled back at him.
"We can't go to that island!"
"I don't want to go either, but."
"Kelly."
"Are we just going to stand here!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stood on the top of the cliff, and looked at the valley below. Her boat was hidden, she had on some camo cloths. Her black hair went in her face as the wind blew. A herd of Brachiosaurs went by. Pteradons could be heard. And the girl couldn't help but smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We got to call somebody, Dad." Kelly said in her Dad's office.
"Who? Who do I call?!"
"Anyone." She said looking away.
There was a silence. Ian sat in his chair, his hand on his chin, he stared out the window.
"Call Dr. Levine. He's into this stuff."
"That rich bastard would just take it as a joy ride."
"He could still help us. We need help."
Ian was silent.
"Damn girl." He kept muttering.
"You should tell Alan. He liked her."
"I know."
"Maybe he will help us."
"He's not going back on that damn island. He never would."
" You wouldn't either."
"Neither would you." He replied.
There was another silence, as the two thought of what the hell to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She still was at the top of the cliff. She was sitting down eating something. She watched as the Stegosaurs grazed, and the Triceratops ran along. She had a satellite phone next to her, and was tempted to call Ian. She knew this wasn't how this placed worked, it wasn't always this nice. She knew the predators would come soon, raptors have probably already picked up the new scent of her food. She knew, and she was ready for it. She continued to smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alan, I have some bad news." Ian said on the phone. He looked at Kelly, still sitting in one of his office chairs. "I thinks she's at Site B."
"What?!" Dr. Grant yelled.
"I got an e-mail today."
"She's been missing for a week. And she's at Site B!?"
"Yeah." Ian sighed.
"Are you sure!?"
"Yeah. I'm sure." Ian started pacing around the room.
"Not again. Not again."
"What?"
"You're going to go after her. You're going to that damn island again. You're going to get chased by theme park accidents, and most likely die! Dammit."
"I thought you should know."
"Malcolm, what the hell are you going to do?"
"I don't know, Alan."
"Are you going to go?"
"I don't know."
"Dammit. I'll help, Malcolm. Just call me."
"Yeah, yeah I will."
Grant hung up the phone. He shook his head, and put his hat on. He stepped outside the trailer, and went over to the dig. Billy looked up. Grant stared at him, and frowned, he hit his hat on his knee. And Billy started to frown.
"Site B." Grant simply said.
Billy looked worried.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, she's there."
"Well, what's going on?"
"Ian will call us."
"Are we going there?!"
"I don't know, Billy. I just don't." Grant looked away. He didn't want to go. The nightmares still haunted him.
Ian sat back down in his chair, and stared at the ceiling, while Kelly looked at him.
"Kelly I don't want to go." He said not looking at her.
"I don't either."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She smiled. She smiled as a Rex came into view in the valley. She smiled as it killed a Stegosaur. But she stopped smiling when she heard something in the bushes.
