Carter

Dr. Andrew Carter, the paleontologist from the debate stepped out of his apartment in New York into the cold air.

He had brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was dressed in a black suit with a black tie and black pants. He said it was one of his best outfits.

He was meeting his associate, Casey Darwin who was also from the debate, to discuss the ongoing speculation on what have raptors evolved into. They were meeting at a small coffee shop, Starbucks to be exact.

Andrew arrived and immediately spotted Casey in the corner booth. He ordered a cappuccino and went straight to her.

Casey had blue eyes and brown hair. She was twenty-two where as Andrew was twenty-nine. They had met five years ago and had been working with the third partner, Jacob Partridge, who would meet them later at the office.

Andrew took a seat and Casey started off saying, "I would like to bring up that raptors may not have moved like lizards, like other dinosaurs did, but they did in fact look exactly like them."

"Have you looked raptor up in the dictionary?" Andrew asked.

"Yes, it says that raptor is a bird of prey, but…"

"You think they are wrong?"

"Of course. It is a big misunderstanding."

"No it isn't. Haven't you ever read Alan Grant's book."

"The guy had a huge breakdown at a simple debate, I think his judgment on things are a little shaken."

"He wrote the damn book before the debate. In fact he wrote the book in 1992."

"Thanks for all the details."

"The point is that he states from the fossils he found of the dinosaur that…" Andrew pulls out the book and reads a passage. "He says 'Raptors are one of the most amazing dinosaurs ever created. The shape of the vertebrae dinosaur is distinctly that of a birds.' See?"

"That is a load of crap."

"The hell it is."

"Give me a brake. You look up to him?"

"He is a great paleontologist."

"Was being a keyword."

"I said is you idiot."

"Come on," Carter said standing up. "Jacob is waiting."

Jacob Partridge was a beloved paleontologist. He had written six books on the different types and discoveries on dinosaurs, but unlike Alan Grant being interested in raptors, Jacob was interested in the mysterious spinosaurus.

Grant had written in a book that he wrote after his experiences on Isla Sorna that, "A spinosaurus is not commonly talked about in paleontology just because it isn't very important, but after seeing its reactions to different things I conclude that it is a pretty important creature and should be talked about more often then not."

Jacob always wanted to study the largest dinosaur and for a long time he studied the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but now, since he found the Spinosaurus was the biggest, he would study the Spinosaurus.

Jacob walked into Carter's office and noticed he wasn't there. Jacob's green eyes scanned the room and hallways, but still couldn't find Carter.

"Damn that man," Jacob said.

Jacob returned to his office where he found Carter and Darwin standing. Carter was on the phone and Casey was chewing gum.

"Who the hell is he talking to?" Jacob asked.

"Shhh!" Casey yelled.

"Okay thank you," Carter said as he hung up the phone.

"Who the hell was that?" Jacob asked.

"Dr. Alan Grant," Carter replied.

"Why are you talking to him?"

"I arranged a meeting with Ian Malcolm. Malcolm said to call Grant because it may be important to him too."

"What kind of meeting?" Casey asked.

"A meeting," Carter began as he smiled. "On Isla Sorna."

The chapters may be short, but there are a lot of them.
