Malcolm, Grant, and Satler took their seats at Ellie's kitchen table. They had been silent since Malcolm had even mentioned Isla Sorna. Ellie and Grant knew Malcolm would be the first to break the silence.
"Alright I know you guys haven't talked about the islands for months now," Malcolm started as Grant and Ellie looked at each other and then back at Malcolm. "But I think it is time to take a look back at what happened on each."
"I never went to Isla Sorna," Ellie broke in.
"But you had contact with Alan when you were there right?" Malcolm asked.
"It is Dr. Grant to you," Grant said eyeing Malcolm.
"Still," Malcolm replied. "The question stands unaltered besides Alan is changed to Dr. Grant on Grant's request."
"Yes I had contact with him at one point," Ellie answered the question. "But for a short call that he was even talking directly to me in."
"What is the point, Malcolm?" Grant inquired.
"The point of the matter is," Malcolm said as he took a piece of bacon and ate it. "Is, is that people need to know the dangers of the island."
"They found out the dangers of the island from the San Diego incident didn't they?" Ellie asked.
"Not all," Malcolm answered. "Here is where my conspiracy thoughts come in. Now most everybody in San Diego knew about the incident, correct?"
"Why wouldn't they?" Ellie asked.
"I get it," Grant said. "You are saying that the press never officially announced to the entire country, the entire world for that matter, that the dinosaur incident in San Diego ever existed."
"Exactly," Malcolm said taking another piece of bacon. "You are good."
Grant rolled his eyes.
"So where are you getting at?" Ellie asked.
"Well…" Malcolm started.
"You're not seriously thinking of going back, are you?" Grant asked.
"Not without you two," Malcolm said as he leaned back in the chair.
"You want us to go with you to Isla Sorna?" Ellie asked. "You are nuts, no, you are beyond nuts for that matter. Don't you remember what happened on Isla Nublar?"
"Of course I do," Malcolm answered. "I also remember what happened on Isla Sorna, but that isn't stopping me, is it now?"
"I'm not going," Grant said. "And nothing you can give me will get me on that island."
"Except when the Kirby's said they were going to pay you a hell of a lot of money that you never even got," Malcolm said.
"I'm outta here," Grant said as he stood up and headed for the door.
"Alan," Ellie said as she went after him.
"I'll just wait here," Malcolm said as he grabbed a plate of food and started eating.
Grant had made his way out the door and onto the driveway. When Ellie got to him he was digging for his keys in his pocket.
"Damnet," he said as he searched for them. Ellie came over.
"What the hell was that?" Ellie shouted coming over.
"That man is insane!" Grant shouted back.
"That isn't a reason to storm out of the house."
"I'm not going back."
"I never said you had to and neither did he."
"He wants us to go back with him to that damned island of dinosaurs!"
"I know!"
Grant calmed down. "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Come back in," Ellie responded. "And eat."
