Chapter Eight The Beginning of the end
Henry switched on the lie detector machine there was a humming and then it ceased, Muldoon turned toward Nedry " Okay Dennis, did u or did you not screw up the system so only you could fix it" Dennis sat there smugly " I did not"
Raptor King jumped up into the helicopter and sat behind controls, Gennaro followed carrying a large rocket launcher with 2 rockets, Raptor King flipped on the high intensity spotlight, turned on the engine, the blades began to spin rapidly and it lifted off the ground and roared into the darkness.
"Did you or did you not use the code whtrabbit.obj to screw the systems up" Muldoon knew for a fact it did and it pissed him off when Dennis said " No, never heard of it before"
The helicopter roared over the sea, Gennaro's radio crackled, " The boat left about 10 minutes ago, you should have caught them up by now" said Hammond " Nothing Yet John, We will keep you posted"
Muldoon was getting impatient, he decided to try it a different way, do some easy questions " Dennis, have you ever stolen anything" Dennis shifted in his chair " Yes, but not any embryos"
"Just yes or no, please Dennis"
The helicopter started to circle, the stoplight searching, never endingly, just the something caught Gennaro's eyes, "Raptor King over there" he swung the chopper around and moved to where Gennaro indicated.
" Have you ever talked to a man named Lewis Dodgson" Muldoon was getting annoyed "No" said Dennis, Wu went over to Muldoon and whispered something, Muldoon grinned it appeared Nedry was lying.
"THERE" shouted Gennaro, Raptor King nearly missed it, and there it was in the spotlights gaze, the boat.
Muldoon was onto something " Did your meeting include talk of embryos" Dennis was going to lie, he knew it "No" replied Dennis, Wu whispered again in his ear, he was of course lying.
"Okay Gennaro, I am going to get into range, you will, when I say go, have 5 seconds to launch the rocket, if u miss it we must circle again, try to his on the first go, we only have two rockets, OKAY, READY, GO, 5,4,3,2,1
"When you were in the Cold Storage did the thought of stealing embryos come over you?" Muldoon waited patiently the lie detector test was proving its worth "I thought that a few embryos would probably worth millions but I didn't think to steal any."
Gennaro squeezed the trigger, the recoil threw him backwards, the rocket hurtled to the ground but missed by inches, his soldier throbbing, "Be warned you the recoil, we have one more missile, please don't cock it up"
" Okay Dennis, last question, did you steal the embryos" he waited " No" Dennis said, " I don't believe you"
" Why not "
" We have audio evidence and Video evidence to prove it" Dennis just sat there impassive to the questions. " This evidence shows you taken the embryos, another shows you turn up and the dock and the audio hears you talking to Dodgson" Dennis just sat there Muldoon was pissed off, " DID YOU STEAL THE EMBYRO'S" he waited fuming " No I didn't"
"5,4,3,2,1" Gennaro pulled the trigger, and braced himself for the recoil it hit him hard, but he maintained his balance the rocket again zoomed to the ground he held his breath, yes, there was a massive explosions, bits of the boat shoot up into the air, they was screaming, red and orange flames leapt up into the sky, smoke billowing, followed by smaller more quieter explosions, the helicopter gained altitude out of harms way and headed back to the island, Gennaro radioed in " Muldoon, we got it"
Muldoon was annoyed and angry, " You might as well know this the boat carrying not existent Embryo's has been blown up" he express the non existent part in a very sarcastic manner, the colour drained from Nedry's face, the realisation had hit him, he had 1.5 million but he had lost the other 1.5 million, all those candy bars lost, he just sat there speechless, Muldoon grinning.
The helicopter touched down, the whirring of the blades died down, they became slower then stopped, only then did Gennaro venture out, Raptor King followed, he left Gennaro and walked down the sand, stopped and stared out to sea, he watches the remaining fires, hiss and die, the last of the boats sink or disappear into the darkness, a metallic clink from below and something hit his shoe, he bent down and picked it up, it was a canister of shaving cream, the bottom unscrewed which he found odd, but then he saw what was inside, 15 species of embryos, embryos stolen from the Cold storage, " We've got the idiot" he yelled and stood on the sand laughing to the sky, The laughs carried by the wind, Nedry thought he heard something on the breeze, he shook it off, and shuddered, it had all gone wrong.
The End
