Dr. Levine
"I don't give a damn about your car! Richard! You need to help me!"
Malcolm was on the phone with Dr. Richard Levine. Levine was just some young scientist, whose parents were rich, and therefore Malcolm saw him as some spoiled idiot. Which he kind of was. Malcolm paced back and forth as Levine made him angrier. Kelly sat on a chair looking at her father pace.
"No. No. No! Richard, you know how you're always asking me about those dinosaurs?"
Ever since Malcolm came to this University, Levine has always asked him about Jurassic Park. Levine was a small young man, with greasy black hair, and brown eyes. He would always disappear for a while, going on trips with his parents' money.
"What are you saying?" Levine asked him.
"I'm saying give me some goddamn money, so I can go there!"
"You're going to Jurassic Park!?" He said in an excited voice.
"No, I'm going to Isla Sorna."
"You're going, Malcolm!? You really are!?"
"Richard, it's not a good thing."
"Why the hell are you going, you always said you'd never go back there."
Malcolm sighed.
"Someone is over there, and I need to go and get them, are you going to help me or not!?"
"Well, if I give you some money I must see it is well spent."
"This isn't some happy trip!"
"I must go with you, and see my money is in good hands."
"Richard, this isn't a walk in the park! I've told you a million times what that island really is! You should know better by now! Now I need some money!"
"I've heard your stories, Malcolm. I've heard them over and over and over again. I know them by heart. But I insist on coming along." He said in a sly voice.
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into."
"Oh, but I do."
"That's what they all think. They know what they've made, they know how to control it. So they go ahead blindly and do something horrible. They never know what they have, until it comes up at them, and bites your ass off."
"Malcolm, you know me. I have to go."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven woke up. The island looked so much better in the day. She looked around, and slowly got up. Raven walked to one of the bending machines, and grabbed a snickers bar. She got her backpack, and explored.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Fine." Malcolm said, defeated. "But if a lizard about six feet tall eats you, don't come crying to me."
Levine almost laughed.
"I'll be over there tomorrow, Malcolm."
Malcolm hung up the phone, and fell into his chair and stared at Kelly.
"That bastard." He said to her.
"So?" She asked quietly.
"He'll be here tomorrow. He'll bring some money, and some choppers, and I don't know."
"Tomorrow!? Why not today!?"
"Because he's in Asia."
"Do we have a day?"
"I don't know." Malcolm stared out the window.
"When is Sarah coming?"
"In about two hours."
"Okay. . ."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven walked throughout the complex, eating really old M&Ms. She was in the entrance, sitting at the counter staring into the jungle. A raptor came, limping onto the stairs of the complex. Raven dropped her M&Ms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dr. Levine was running around the camp, happy.
"Woo hoo!" He yelled. "Peter! Peter!"
He ran into one of the tents, to see his friend, Peter, sleeping.
"Peter, Peter, you idiot, wake up!" Peter barely opened his eyes.
"What is it know Richard?"
"Peter, I got to go!"
"Why? You begged me to take you here. Do you know how hard it was to get you here? In Asia!?"
"Sorry, but I got to go. I'm going to go pack now, a plane will be here soon for me."
Dr. Levine ran out of the tent. Peter was stunned.
"Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs!" Levine yelled in his tent, while packing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven stared as the raptor fell to the ground. It seemed to be injured, its back was bleeding, making the stairs red. It panted, with its eye barely opened. Raven slowly went outside. She couldn't help herself. It stared at her, almost fearfully.
"It's ok." She said.
It growled at her, and tried to lift its head. It failed, it was too weak to move. Raven sat beside it, not knowing what to do. She sat there for another hour, until the raptor closed its eyes one last time. It stared at her, and then it died. Raven didn't know what to do. Something was wrong. Something was strange. And she didn't know what to do.
In the bushes the raptor's pack watched this creature, this potential food, stay by one of their own. It was unusual behavior for any creature. The pack didn't know what to think of this thing that sat on the stairs. It didn't seem like it could be a threat. It had no claws, no teeth, not even a tail. It was a new creature. A strange creature. They wondered why it stayed by their raptor. Almost comfort it. Why would anything do that? It was different for them. This new creature was very different from anything else. They wondered what they should do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ian!" Sarah yelled, banging on the door.
Malcolm ran to the door, swinging it open. Sarah dropped her bags, and went into his arms.
"Where's Raven?" She asked, knowing the answer.
"We're going to go get her." He said.
"Oh, God." She said, hugging him.
"I know, I know." He said.
None of them wanted to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Allan?" Ian asked on the phone.
Night had fallen. Dr. Levine would be there tomorrow, and all Malcolm wanted was for this to be over. Kelly was asleep, and Sarah sat next to him on the couch.
"Allan, we're going to go and get her."
"You are?"
"Will you help? I understand if you don't, but - -"
"Ian, you know I'll go. *sigh* That girl had a lot o potential. I'm going on another rescue mission. This sucks."
"Yeah it does. Thank you, Allan."
"Yeah, thank me later."
"How soon can you get here, you know where I live, right?"
"I'll be there soon, tomorrow maybe."
"Thank you."
"When we find her, I swear I'm going to- -"
"I know, me too."
Malcolm soon hung up the phone after awhile. He sighed, and put his arm around Sarah. They kissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ellie? Ellie? Are you there? I know it's late, I think it's ten now, but. . . Ellie I got to go get someone. You remember, Raven right? She's in trouble. I. . . She's a good kid. I'm going to go get her with Ian and Sarah. I don't know if Billy is coming but. . . Ellie. I. . . I . . .I just want you to know, it's ok. Don't worry, and don't call anybody. They'll throw our asses in jail for this. Ellie. I'll be back soon. . . Bye." Allan Grant hung up the phone, leaving the message on Ellie Sattler's answering machine. He sighed.
