Dr. Grant set down his piece of chalk. "Now, if you understood all of that – congratulations, you might actually survive this semester. If you didn't…" He gave them all a threatening look before grinning. "Then come talk to me after class and we'll see what we can do. Class dismissed."
The freshmen rose from their seats, gathering up their pens, pencils, notes and textbooks. "Don't forget to grab your syllabus!" Dr. Grant reminded them as they began to file out of the door. He shook his head. "Freshmen." He muttered.
He turned back to his desk and began to gather up his own things. That had been his last lecture of the day, thank God, and he had a home-cooked meal waiting for him courtesy of Ellie. God, he loved that woman. Why he'd been idiotic enough not to tell her about it until it had seemed too late, he'd never know.
"Dr. Grant?"
He turned, frowning at the girl standing before him. She was one of the freshmen, blond, with a serious face. He remembered that during the lecture she'd answered all of his questions correctly.
"Yes? Can I help you?" He asked.
"I'm Blue Aldrich." The girl said, holding out her hand for him to shake. He did, but his brow was still creased in confusion. "Do you have a few minutes? Or, rather, about an hour?"
"I was actually about to go home and have dinner with my family, Miss Aldrich, but I think I can spare you a couple of minutes. What's the matter?" He asked.
Blue swallowed. "Dr. Grant… we need to talk."
There you have it! The end of the story… or is it? Ha ha yes, I am writing a sequel to this. It's titled "Secondary", and will be posted shortly. As for the title of this chapter, I got it from a comic strip called "Pearls Before Swine" by Stephen Pastis. It's one of my favorite comic strips. It refers to how men dread their girlfriend or wife saying, "We need to talk", with one character calling those four words the "four wordsmen of the apocalypse", rather than "horsemen".
Please leave a review – I've wanted to write a Jurassic Park sequel ever since I saw the film, and I finally did it so please, let me know how I did! Thank you!
