Chapter 6: Secrets Revealed
Lola and Sebastian had returned to arguing as David and Jackie walked next to each other, not even looking at each other. Brian was giving the directions to Jason over the radio as Moses was aiming his Ak-47 at dinosaurs that weren't there. The trees in the area became more and more dense until the group could barely see in front of them. After minutes walking blindly through the bus, the group finally saw an exit. Jason asked Brian was behind there, but he explained that the camera in that area had been damaged and was offline. Regardless, the group continued to move until they exited the trees to see themselves in front of two T-rexes.
"What's going on," asked Brian over the radio. Jason raised the radio to his mouth and whispered, "T-rex nest." Jason lowered the radio and said, "On the count of three, we split into two groups. Oneā¦"
"Wait," Brian attempted to whisper.
"Two," Jason continued. Brian tried to interrupt again, but Jason had already said, "Three!" Jason ran left with Sebastian, dropping the radio in the process. David picked it up while running right with Moses, Jackie and Lola. The group of four ran profusely as Brian continued to try and interrupt. David was soon out of breathe and realized that he was no longer with the other three.
"Jason!" Brian said over the radio.
"No," David replied," It's David. We had to
split to run from a T-rex. Jason dropped it."
"Listen,"
Brain said with a serious tone that was incredibly different than the
scared voice had had been using all day. " Do you hear a T-rex?"
David replied no as Brian continued. "T-rexes won't leave their
nest to chase down a couple of morsels that barely qualified as an
appetizers. As long as you didn't bother them, you would have been
in any danger."
David felt like an idiot before he asked, "Where are the others?"
Brian checked the cameras and replied, "I still haven't got a visual on Sebastian and Jason, but the other three are still running south, back in the direction they-" Brian's voice was stopped abruptly.
In the control room, Brian was still trying to get back in contact with David, but was failing at any attempt and was only getting static. The static began to dwindle as he heard an unfamiliar voice over the headset say, "Moses, are you done yet?"
Brian was confused, but managed to impersonate Moses and ask," Who is this?"
"Don't tell me you didn't forget your old friend Lewis Dodgson?" Brian was shocked. "So it wasn't Jason. The Biosyn mole is Moses." Brian impersonated Moses and replied, "Not yet, Lewis, I'll call you when I'm done." The voice of Dodgson disappeared and David's came back.
"David," Brian yelled frantically, "Moses is a mole working for Biosyn! I've just intercepted a call from Lewis Dodgson that directly implicates him. Now I know that sounds weird, but I'm going to need you to-"
"Relax," David said, "I guess I can tell you. Jackie and I really agents working for the Secret Service sent here to arrest Lola Brinker on the charge that she was working for Biosyn, but after meeting her, I knew that she couldn't be it. Now, tell me where is he?"
Brian was shocked. He expected his news to shock David, but it was the other way around. Brian managed to gain composure and said. "They've stopped running. They're back in the car that you, Jackie, and Lola came in on.
Moses, Lola and Jackie were sitting on the ground near the car to catch their breath. Jackie knew that it was only a matter of time that Brian got in contact with someone to save them, and knew this was her last chance to arrest Lola. Jackie took a deep sigh and stood up as she asked Lola, "So, Lola, why'd you decide to come to Isla Nublar?"
"I was getting paid, and I thought I was only going to be here for half a hour. It's been fourteen hours and I'm hungry."
"Yeah," she replied, "but why here? Over all of the safest place you could have gone, why here?"
Lola stood up as she replied; "Let's just say this assignment has some perks if I complete it."
"Like a position at Biosyn?" Jackie snapped. Lola was in a deep confusion as Moses on edge. Jackie took out a pair of handcuffs and began to cuff Lola. Lola tried to argue, but kept getting thrown against the hood of the car. Lola managed to shove Jackie to the ground and say, "I'm not working for Biosyn!"
"Oh yeah," Jackie insisted. "Then who do you work for?"
"Lola stepped forward and said, "I'm agent Lola Brinker. I work for the CIA." Lola took out her badge and tossed it to Jackie, who was flabbergasted. "How could I be wrong," she whispered to herself. She turned to Lola and asked in confusion, "Well, if you're not the mole, then who is?" Lola wasn't given time to answer as Jackie flew back after being shot in the neck. Lola spun around to see Moses grinning with a handgun in his hand saying, "I believe that would be me." Lola scrambled to grab Jackie's gun, but was knocked out by Moses before she could.
David continued to rush to where Brian said Moses was as he asked Brian, "Can you still see them?"
"Not anymore," Brian replied. "Someone, or something, must have knocked out the camera, but it looks like it was turned off to me." David continued to run as he pulled out his gun upon his imminent arrival. David jumped through the trees and yelled, "Moses Kelly, you're under arrest for the-Lola!" Lola was tied up in the passenger seat with Moses sitting right behind her. David stepped to the left very slowly and almost tripped over what he thought was a rock, but was actually the body of his former partner.
David looked up to see that Moses was holding a gun to Lola from behind the seat. Moses grinned as he said, "I know what you're thinking. What do I have behind this seat? Let's see, if it's a 22-caliber gun, it'll go right through the seat, but even a button could knock it off course. What if it's a 34-caliber gun? It'll go right through that button, but a piece of metal could stray it from its path. What if it's a 48-caliber gun? Wow. It'll go through that button, demolish that piece of metal, kill your little girlfriend here, go through the dashboard, go through the engine block and hit some innocent dinosaur a mile away before it even knows it hit something."
David's hand began to shake. He felt not even under these circumstances could he risk Lola's life. David's hand began to shake until Lola yelled, "Shoot him!" David was shocked as he looked up and Lola continued, "If you shoot him, I lose, but so does he. If you don't shoot him, he'll handoff the formula to Dodgson and we'll all lose. You have to shoot him!"
"Yeah, David," Moses taunted. "Shoot me. Go ahead." Moses began to chuckle and soon began to laugh out of control as David began to sweat and his hand continue to shake. David moved his gun up and aimed at Moses's head. Moses knew he was being aimed at, but didn't care. He knew that David would put Lola in any more danger than she was in now.
"David!" she yelled again. "I work for the CIA. I know the risks and I know that you're a Secret Service agent, so I know you know them too. You have to shoot! Now!" David moves his finger closer to the trigger, but didn't pull it. Moses's smile faded and began to get a little worried. Moses clenched his gun in preparation. David inched his finger closer, but failed to pull it and began to lower his gun. Moses took his chance and fired two shots at David. The first bullet missed, but the other penetrated his left arm. Moses hopped in the front seat and drove off with Lola as hostage.
Meanwhile, Sebastian and Jason had stopped running as Sebastian got anxious before yelling; "Now you're going to tell me you didn't hear that? The first gunshot was muffled, but this time there was two, and you can't tell me you didn't hear that."
"I am," Jason replied. "Now I'm going to the treasure. If you want to investigate, be my guest. The volcano is right around the corner. I can go the rest of the way myself." Sebastian gave Jason a cold look before heading running to where the gunshot came from.
Back in the control room, Brian was getting anxious. He continued to try and get in contact with David, but was failing. Meanwhile, the raptor in the hallway that had been quiet was shrieking as if it were in terror. Brian continued the check the cameras, but the one on the road was still out and Jason and Sebastian were still not on camera. Suddenly, the camera on the road turned on and what Brian saw shocked him to the extremes. "David!" he yelled." What the hell happened there?"
Sebastian's voice came over saying, "David told me everything. Jackie's dead and Moses is working for Biosyn and he's taken Lola hostage. Brian I don't mean to scare you, but Moses is on his way to the control room right now to get that cylinder, and under no circumstance whatsoever can you give it to him, even if it costs you your life."
