Chapter 8: Setting the Trap

The morning sun slowly began to rise over the peak of the valley. The calls of Brachiosaurs echoed all through the treehouse. Amy, Natalie & Stew were all just beginning to wake up. It was now about two weeks before the baby was due, so everyone had been helping to finish the necessary preparations.

After breakfast, everyone was preparing for their daily tasks when a video call came in from InGen.

Tim's face appeared on the screen. "Hello everyone! So nice to see you again. I have a message for you from the board." "What's that?" Amy asked curiously. "Well, the board has proposed that for this month's check-in, we come to the island and actually see your progress for ourselves. Does that sound alright to you all?" Tim said. The three stepped away to talk privately for a moment and then returned to the screen. "We think that would be just fine," Stew answered. "Excellent! I'll tell the board at once. We'll visit sometime next week." "Great. We're looking forward to it." Stew said. With that, the screen flashed back to its normal view.

"Well, hopefully that baby of yours can wait until InGen leaves before he decides it's time to come out." Amy said jokingly. "I'll be sure to get the memo out," Natalie replied mockingly. "Alright, that's enough, you two. Let's get back to work so we can be ready for that check-in," Stew said.

"Excellent news, everyone! We've been given the go-ahead with our plans to visit the island." Tim said as he met up with the board members. "Good. We'll start the needed preparations, Mr. Murphy." Tim then proceeded to walk back to his office.

One of the board members proceeded to pull out a radio. "We just got the ok from Murphy. Make sure you have 0073.A ready for transport by next week. It's almost time to execute the final stage of our plan." "Can do," replied a voice from the other end. "I certainly hope our little workers aren't too attached to those dinosaurs, because they won't have them much longer." Said the group leader ominously. "Sir, might I ask what we are going to do about Mr. Murphy? If he comes with us, we'll need a distraction or diversion of some sort in order to keep him occupied." "Oh, don't you worry. I've got a little surprise planned for Murphy, too. He won't be a problem at all. Everything is under control."
