Chapter four - Donald and Kate sitting in a tree
Donald Gennaro looked entirely out of place on Isla Nublar. Wearing office clothing and with a briefcase in hand, even Hammond looked more suited to the environment than him, he clambered out of the helicopter and ducked down almost immediately, the pilot turned around "something the matter Donald" he asked "no, nothing and its mr Gennaro to you" There was something wrong with Donald, he was terrified he had promised him self that when he came to the island he would be brave, fearless, stare danger in the face, if a animal was to escape he would suck in his pride and rise to the occasion hoping to be the hero of the hour, but helicopters scared him and he know lost all his confidence, Gennaro was not scared of heights or the helicopter, he was scared of the blades, spinning that fast they could take someone's head off, mainly his, so he didn't want to stand straight, so he continued to bend until he reached the cars.
The cars roared down the gravel path, slowed, stopped and waited and the two sets of gates were opened before continuing, they rounded a corner and towering above them was a brachiosaur eating sullenly from a tree, it took no notice of the car, but the person in the car took notice of it, he smiled and clapped his hands, rubbing them he stood up on his seat and shouted " WERE GOING TO BACK A FORTUNE WITH THIS PLACE" before returned to his silence for the rest of the drive.
"Good morning Mr. Hammond", he smiled with forced graciousness as he stepped over the threshold of Jurassic Park's Visitor centre.
"Ah, good morning my boy", Hammond reached out and shook his hand, "Right, let's get down to business immediately. I understand you and your investors have a few concerns about the park?"
"Indeed. We feel there is a very serious safety issue about this island. Not only with keeping it covert but also with the animals themselves. We feel they pose a threat to potential visitors…"
"Donald, how many times have we been over this, the park is sound? I don't care what the damn mathematician is saying, he's just spouting a load of fashionable techno-babble".
Gennaro shook his head, exasperated, "This is not about you and your arguments with Malcolm. We need a investigation into the stability of the island".
Hammond sighed, "So be it. Come inside, we'll start to plan our first tour of the island" They walked into the Visitors Centre and headed towards Hammond's office, although it took a while to get Gennaro to stop staring at the secretary. Which was of course Kate, and as usual wearing a low cut top, she was bending over poised reading a piece of paper showing Donald all she had, she looked up and seemed glad at the attention she was getting "umm. Mr Gennaro" Donald tore is eyes away for her midriff she was pointing in looked in that direction Hammond was laughing and pointing to his office.
Hammond unrolled a tour guide of the island and circled several places with a pen, "These are the places that are up and running and ready to show to the public. The others will be done in time for the grand opening next year". "Oh and don't mind Kate she's good at her job and a big hit with the men" he winked
Gennaro noticed the wink and smiled then turned his attention to the map, "You're almost finished, he said, surprised.
Hammond grinned like an eager child, "Yes, my boy, you see everything is in hand. Jurassic Park is stable. You worry too much. Far to much what could go wrong?"
In his room Nedry finalized his plans. Checking and rechecking the route, visualising his actions while eating a candy bar, then he reached into his pocket and produced a can of shaving cream. Not an expensive can. Mediocre shaving cream, but it was going to help him a great deal. It looked completely convincing. On the outside, and emitted shaving cream on the inside but its purpose was not that at all, He grinned and walked into the control room, ignoring Arnold's shouts. He sat in a corner on his own monitor, pulled out a heap of candy and drinks and started tapping away at the keys with dexterity. With a flourish he entered Whiterbt.objt and began to piece together the codes that would disable security at 6 o' clock in the evening. That would give him plenty of time. Just five more hours. Five more hours and Hammond would learn his mistake. Don't get cheap on Dennis Nedry.
"Right" Hammond was saying, " first of all we are going to the restaurant, it is lunchtime and I assume you are hungry, our chef has laid on Brazilian sea bass I believe, so why not better to test the food, to see if it is satisfactory to your standards", 10 minutes later they emerged Donald nursing a full stomach, " what's next" he said " I think a chat with the companies department and customer care, its in the lobby, Kate is in charge", Donald flung the door open and walking smartly and elegantly into the lobby, Hammond trailing behind, " Mr Hammond please report to the control room immediately" the loudspeaker said " sorry about this son, important, have fun with Kate don't get to close, she bites" Hammond laughed, Donald grinning sheepishly, Hammond nipped off through a side door, while Donald slid up to the front desk, " Kate" she looked up " I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions" his eyes began to wonder again, and she was bending over again. "Certainly" she said and smiled at Donald, Kate took an immediate liking to Donald and by the way he stared he did to " You are in charge of the complaints is that correct"
"Yes, that is correct" all official talk, she thought she was getting hot and steamy,
"What sort of complaints do you receive?" asked Donald keeping eye level with Kate.
" Hardly any, because Jurassic Park is not open to visitors yet, but we do get the odd on from the workers."
"Oh, what like?" He was getting interested
"Feeding the raptors mostly, they are very worried after the incident where the worker was killed" Gennaro started to steam, glaring at Kate, Kate suddenly realised what she had done, she had gotten Hammond into trouble, he obliviously hadn't told Gennaro, Donald spun around on his heel Kate jumped up quickly in his ear, after a time, he smiled a little and gave a slight nod "Room 103" he said "6:00pm" and he marched off up the corridor and through the doors in which Hammond went.
