- Chapter 3 -
Meanwhile, Sam had just made it out of the building. She had been in a mass of white coated scientists rushing at the doors, as if they were chickens with their heads cut off. She paused as s he got outside. The lab coated chickens continued to run as far away as they could, until she was the only one left anywhere near the building.
She began to walk away from the building, when all of a sudden, a CRASH! came from behind her. She turned around to see the meteor rock in a thousand shards across the pavement.
"Oh bad..." she said under her breath as she went over to it. The meteor had broken into shards no bigger than her finger, all except one curious piece. Sam went over to it and looked at the clear, white gem lying in amidst the shards. It looked like a dino ge, but it couldn't be, could it? She picked up the piece tentatively and stood up. A blinding white light shot out of it as soon as she had touched it. She moved it around in her hand curiously, looking at it from all different angles.
A gust of wind caught her attention, and she quickly pocketed the gem. Zeltrax appeared from nowhere, a couple of feet in front of her. Sam heard the doors of the building open behind her and a scamper of feet ensued. Before she knew it, she was beside Kira, Ethan and Connor, while Tommy stood in front of her, to protect her.
"Imbeciles!" Zeltrax roared, "You've destroyed the meteor! At least one good thing came from your foolishness...you do not possess it either!" he laughed and then disappeared.
Tommy watched as Zeltrax vanished into thin air and then looked down to the scattered shards at his feet.
"Listen Dr. O, I'm really sorry..." Connor began to apologize.
"It's alright," Tommy said putting a hand on Connor's shoulder to show he wasn't mad at him, "We'll just salvage what we can. Maybe they can tell us something about why the meteor was so important."
"I think I can do one better," Sam said. The four turned to Sam as she pulled out the gem from her pocket and showed them.
Tommy looked to the gem and smiled.
