A young businesswoman was on a raft, that was being pulled onto land by raft.
"Hope this place doesn't ruin the buisness clothes" She thought as she the large mining.
(Mano de Dios amber mine, Dominican Republic)
A Latino man that seemed to be leading the mining camp appeared. The young women brushed her blonde hair back. She hoped that her spanish wasn't too bad. "¡Hola Ami-migo!" She called out to him.
The Latino turned "I can speak English you know." he said to the woman, which surprised her. "Name's Roberto, Bob for short." he told her. "Well then" she stopped to swat at a mosquito coming at her "my name is Caroline Gennaro, Carol for short. So what's this I hear at the airport, H-Hammond's not even here?"
"He sends his apologies" Roberto responded. They started walking towards the mines.
"We are facing a 20 million dollar lawsuit by the family of that worker, and you're telling me that Hammond can't even bother to see me?" Carol stated frustated of Hammond's absence.
"She had to be with her son, he's getting a divorce. She had to leave early."
"Well I understand that." Carol said in a sympathetic tone. "We've been told to deal with the problem now. The insurance company-"
Carol slipped and Roberto helped her up. "You ok?" he asked. Carol nodded then resumed walking.
"The underwriters feel the accident raised some serious questions. I had to promise a very thorough inspection."
A donkey brayed in the distance. "Hammond hates inspections, She says they slow everything down." Roberto told Carol.
"I have to or they will pull the funding, that will slow her down to a snail's pace."
A miner calls out to Roberto.
"ENCONTRÉ UNO!" he yells to him.
"¡Déjame venir a ver!" Roberto yells back
They walk into the mines. Carol donks her head on a wooden beam."Watch your head!" Roberto tells Carol amusingly.
"If two experts..." Carol says dazily "sign off on the island, the insurance guys will back off. I already got Luna Malcolm, but they think he is too trendy. They want Lincoln Grant."
Roberto gestures for the polished amber. "Grant? Haha you'll never get him outta Montana!" He looks at the amber specimen "Exquisito."
"Why's that" Carol asked confused.
Roberto chuckles "Because Grant is like me" He holds up the amber, showing the imprisoned body of a large mosquito. "A digger".
