I do not own Jurassic Park. I only own Amy.
Story Start
Robert immediately tensed up after he heard what Mr. Hammond said. "You know that she won't be able to see them that well with all of the trees and bushes in their small enclosure. Also, we are not taking any of the raptors out of the enclosure to put in the smaller cage," he said and stared down his boss before glancing at me.
"Honestly Robert, it should be fine for her to just try to catch a glimpse of them from atop the enclosure," Mr. Hammond said with a shake of his head. He looked back at me as if to ask my opinion.
"Fine, but she will stay right beside me and she will not get too close," Robert snapped before I could say anything, which I was slightly thankful for because it ended the argument.
"Alright, I guess that will work," Mr. Hammond said before Tony called his name saying that he had a call waiting for him at the main building. "I'm sorry but I must take this. After you've had a good look at the raptors, meet me back at my office and we can discuss the murals. Robert, will you drive her back to the tourist center?" he asked already walking towards the jeep.
"They should all be destroyed not used for murals or amusement park attractions," I heard Robert mutter to himself as I turned to face him.
"My mother has the same opinion," I said and pointed to the stairs. "Do we go up there to see the raptors?" I questioned once I had his attention.
"Yes, follow me, and do exactly as I say. These beasts are smart, too smart, and they try every day to destroy their cage," he said and I walked behind him up the staircase until we were on top of the enclosure where large cage bars provided a barrier between us and the raptors. "So your mother doesn't like the dinosaurs either?" he asked when we reached the top of the stairs.
"No, she thinks they should have remained extinct and I agree. They are magnificent creatures but in terms of the food chain, we're very low on the chain when dinosaurs are around," I answered with a shrug as I tried to look down into the enclosure but not too close. I didn't want to tip and fall over.
"This is only asking for trouble," he said with a sigh before grabbing my arm when I jumped at the screech of a raptor below, who had revealed itself to us.
The raptor stared up at both of us before darting back into the trees and bushes in the enclosures. A shiver raced down my spine at the calculating look the dinosaur had in its eyes.
"If you don't mind me asking, if you dislike the dinosaurs so much, why are you here?" I questioned.
"I could ask you the same thing," he said with a raised eyebrow as he took off his hat to wipe the sweat off his forehead and neck.
"I knew it would be a once in a lifetime experience to paint the murals at Jurassic Park. I didn't particularly come here to see the dinosaurs, but I did know that many people would see my artwork here on the walls. I couldn't turn this opportunity down," I honestly told him and looked down at the enclosure again, but I couldn't see anything.
"In a way I came here to challenge myself, but after seeing how ruthless these things are, I'm regretting being here," he said and I looked up at him.
"Maybe you should focus on just keeping the guests and employees safe instead of how ruthless the carnivores are," I suggested even though I wasn't in the same situation as him. After I finished painting the murals, I would be going back to my normal life.
"I'll keep that in mind. Would you like to return to the main building now?" he asked since he could tell that I was uncomfortable since the raptors were making more noises down below. "It's almost their feeding time," he said and I immediately told him that I wanted to return to the main building. "I'll go grab the jeep and meet you at the bottom of the stairs," he said and we started walking down the stairs.
It didn't take long for him to get the jeep and stop in front of me. I got in the passenger seat and buckled my seat-belt.
"So how long will you be here to paint the murals?" Robert asked as he drove.
"Most likely a month or a few weeks after that," I replied and asked him about what he had done before coming to Jurassic Park to work.
The rest of the car ride was interesting as Robert told me about different safaris and hunts he went on in Africa. I told him about some of the paintings I have done so far. I thought he would be bored like most guys I tried to date were, but he genuinely seemed interested.
When we pulled up in front of the tourist center, I was disappointed that our time together was done. I was enjoying getting to know him. Robert was different from anyone I had met before.
"When do you start painting?" he asked before I could get out of the car.
"Probably tomorrow morning. I'll be meeting Mr. Hammond now to discuss locations and themes for the murals," I replied wondering why he was asking.
"If it's ok with you, then I'd like to come watch you paint sometimes," he said and a bright smile crossed my face.
"Sure, once I find out more details of the locations of the murals, then I'll let you know so you can come see them when you have some free time," I said and felt my heart beat a little faster when he grinned at me.
"I'll be at the employee cafeteria later this evening if you would like to join me," he said and grinned even more when I nodded. "See you then," he said and I gave him a wave after getting out of the car and entering the tourist center.
"Maybe being on an island with dinosaurs won't be so bad," I thought as I walked to Mr. Hammond's office to discuss the paintings.
