As the two walked along the road, Chadwick said, "It's too dark. I need light. Where's your flashlight?"
"You took it." Nima said.
"Right, right." Chadwick said. "Did I drop it? Did you see me drop it? Dammit. Son of a..."
As the two approached the tunnel, they noticed a MG KN Magnette on a slope by the road.
"Over there." Nima said.
"There we go." Chadwick said. "Hey Nedry! You get stuck or somethin'? Nedry! You deaf!?"
No one answered.
"I'm not climbing that in my new stivalis..." Chadwick muttered as Nima began climbing up the slope. "Hey I'm gonna go around. It'll be faster."
Nima approached the Magnette. It was silver and red with a black and red logo on the door. The words "Jurassic Park" were emblazoned across it. The lights were still on.
"Somebody in there?" Nima asked. She tapped on the window. Still nothing. Nima tried to open the door, but the door refused to budge. Nima looked into the windshield, but the inside was fogged up.
Nima went back to the door and tugged on the handle with all her might. She finally opened the door.
Inside was the corpse of a portly man in a yellow slicker. Suddenly a creature leapt out with a chirp and fled.
Chadwick walked around from behind the Magnette and saw Nima on the ground, panting.
"All tired out, huh?" He said. "I told you it was better to go around!"
"Something just...jumped me." Nima said. "It was on your friend here."
Chadwick peered into the Magnette and saw the corpse of Nedry.
"Aw, that's disgusting!" Chadwick cried out.
"There was something...feeding on him." Nima said. "What the hell kind of zoo is this?"
"Listen, I told you, don't worry about it. Ok?" Chadwick said. "It was, it was just some animal. We'll get the thermos, and then we're out of here."
Chadwick began searching Nedry's corpse.
"Where is it...I can't find it!" Chadwick said angrily. "Where's the thermos? The thermos, where is it?"
"It doesn't matter." Nima said. "We should get out of here."
"No no no." Chadwick said. "If we leave now, we don't get paid. Crap. Oh, Dodgson's gonna kill me. Is Dodgson going to kill me?"
"Don't worry about him." Nima said. "Worry about that thing!"
I'm worried about it, okay!?" Chadwick said. "What am I supposed to do? You know we can't go back empty-handed."
"Look there." Nima said, pointing.
"Look where?" Chadwick asked.
"Footprint." Nima said, pointing at the bottom of the slope. "Your man took a walk. We follow his trail, like tracking game. That's how we find the thermos."
"Right...ok...ok that makes sense!" Chadwick said. "But wha...but hold on, what if one o' those uh...ok, uh, you look down there, and I'll, uh...I'll check the car again...just, just in case..."
Chadwick proceeded to search the car.
Nima looked at the bottom of the Magnette. She noticed a fallen log underneath it.
"That's what stopped his car..." Nima realized. "Like a foothold trap."
Nima then noticed a flatten area of mud with footprints coming from the bottom of the slope.
"Qué pasó aquí?" Nima wondered. "He slipped and fell in the mud."
Nima looked at the winch cable.
"He was trying to get free..."
Nima climbed down the slope.
Nima looked at the footprints and with her eyes, followed them.
"No thermos here...the tracks lead that way." Nima muttered to herself.
Nima looked over at a nearby log and picked up a pair of glasses.
"Glasses..." Nima murmured. "Pobre desgraciado. Blind in the dark."
Nima then noticed a trail of three-toed footprints. She examined them.
"Mala onda...That thing was stalking him..." Nima murmured.
Nima then looked towards the tunnel.
"It can't be in here. He never made it this far." Nima said to herself. She then looked at another trackway of footprints.
"No human tracks here..." She muttered. Nima then saw a sign signaling that the East Dock was on the other side of the tunnel.
"He was trying to come to us." Nima realized.
Nima walked over to a tree that had the winch cable tied around it. She saw several footprints and shoeprints.
"He went to the tree and back..." Nima said. "...It came after...not in a hurry. It was...interested."
Nima looked at the winch cable.
"It's a good anchor...he could've gotten free."
Nima noticed a stick laying on the ground amidst the jungle plants.
"No es nada...just a stick." Nima muttered.
Nima pulled out a flashlight and shined it on the tree. She then looked back at the tunnel and saw a brown creature scurry into the darkness.
"Qué fué eso?" Nima said. She looked towards the slope again and noticed a lump of mud by the base.
"Any luck?" Nima called out to Chadwick who was still busily searching the Magnette.
"No." Chadwick said. "Those tracks of yours better lead somewhere...or we're never getting out of here."
Nima climbed back down the slope and went over to the tree.
Nima crouched as she looked at a couple of broken eggshells.
As she reached out to touch them she heard a sudden yelp.
Chadwick was behind her and slapped the back of his neck.
"Friggin' bugs!" He muttered. Nima looked back at Chadwick.
"What?" Chadwick asked. "What's the problem."
"...Nothing." Nima said coldly.
"Did you find it?" Chadwick asked.
"The thermos's not here." Nima said.
"Aw, crap." Chadwick said. "Aw, I am screwed!"
"No, we can't give up!" Nima said. "His trail ends back at the car. You must have missed something in there."
"Not a chance!" Chadwick said. "I turned that thing inside out. I'm gonna smell like a dead, fat guy for a week!"
"Fine." Nima said. "I'll take a look."
"Knock yourself out." Chadwick muttered. "...I could use some fresh air."
Nima went back to the Magnette and peered inside. On the passenger floor, she noticed a pile of paper wrappers.
"You liked your sweets, eh, gordito..." Nima said.
Nima then realized something.
"You didn't drop the thermos down below. You had it with you."
Nima looked back outside of the Magnette.
"He came back to the car in a rush. He hit his head...and he fell. If he dropped the thermos..."
Nima climbed back down the slope to the lump of mud. She dug through the mud until she pulled out the thermos.
She held it in her hand, examining it.
Suddenly Chadwick snatched the thermos out of Nima's hand.
"Oh, baby!" Chadwick said excitedly. "I knew I'd find you!"
"Your pretty excited about a drink container." Nima said.
"Yeah, it's a canister of tea..." Chadwick said sarcastically. "Just like you're a secret agent."
Chadwick opened the false bottom of the thermos, revealing several small test tubes in a holder.
"Ten years of research...thousands invested...it's the next wonder of the world."
Nima shook her head. She thought Chadwick had lost his mind.
"You wanna screw InGen?" Chadwick asked. "This is it. The crown jewels. They lose control of this, they've got nothin'."
Nima was puzzled.
"They're dinosaur embryos, honey." Chadwick explained. "Don't tell me you thought we were after a thermos."
"Dinosaurs?" Nima asked. "I don't understand."
"You don't need to understand." Chadwick said. He pulled out a capsule and broke it over the test tubes before quickly sealing them back into the thermos.
"That'll keep them fresh." Chadwick said. He noticed that Nima was still staring at him.
"What?" Chadwick asked. "What's your problem?"
"I suggest you run..." Nima said quietly. "Run like hell."
"Don't be so dramatic." Chadwick said.
Suddenly there was a hooting noise behind him. Turning around, Chadwick saw a brown blotched creature staring at him. It was a juvenile Elaphrosaurus.
"Aw, crap." Chadwick said fearfully.
The Elaphrosaurus extended a frill that rattled and the creature snarled at the two humans.
The Elaphrosaurus spat a black sticky substance at Chadwick. The man screamed in fear.
"What the fu..." Chadwick yelped, knocking his glasses off his face as he tried to wipe off the goo.
Chadwick pulled out a Mauser Model 1914 pistol and began firing at the Elaphrosaurus as it scampered into the tunnel.
"Is it gone!?" Chadwick asked.
"It's gone." Nima said.
"Ok. Yeah! You see that?" Chadwick said. "That's how you do it! YEAH! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU LITTLE MONGREL!"
"Let's get out of here." Nima pleaded.
"Ok. Alright." Chadwick said. "Alright, you know the plan. My-my boys are sending a boat. We bring 'em the thermos, we get paid, we go home."
"We cannot walk to the meeting place." Nima said. "Not with these monstruos around here."
"Right." Chadwick said. "We'll take the car. Bring down the car! I'll stay here and, uh, I'll cover you."
"Who's afraid now, huh?!" Chadwick said.
Nima climbed up the slope and began cranking the winch on the Magnette. The car would not budge.
Nima walked behind the Magnette and began pushing against it. Using all her strength, Nima managed to push the car over the log.
"Hey, Chadwick! Move!" Nima warned.
"No no, this is the perfect spot!" Chadwick said, oblivious to the car. "I got the angles covered...field of fire..."
Chadwick turned and saw the Magnette coming towards him.
"Oh God!" Chadwick yelled as he fell out of the way of the Magnette as it slammed into the tree.
