Jurassic Park: Muertes Ch. 7
By CarnaRaptor
Location: Plains of Tanzania
The InGen jeep trampled across the grasslands towards where Robert Muldoon and Ralph were researching.
"Bloody hell, what's the meaning of this" pouted Muldoon. The jeep slowed down to a stop in front of Muldoons LandRover. One man walked out of the car, but Muldoon noticed another sitting in the back who stayed put.
"G'day mate, and who might you be" said Muldoon, wiping sweat off his forehead from the immense heat on the savannah.
"Robert Muldoon, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Edward Thorne."
Muldoon pointed to the logo on his car, "I see that you work for those bastad's over at InGen ay?" He chuckled.
"Uh yes, which I was why I'm here before you today" replied Throne.
"Yes?"
"Well, one of our 'best men' escorted himself out from our company and we were wondering if you'd take his position. With your past experience an' all"
"I'm flattered, but I been pretty busy lately with my nephew hea and all. Just what exactly is this position mate?"
"Well it's back on the island of course. I'll tell you this, you get to work with dinosaurs again"
Robert Muldoons expression was suddenly cold.
"Bloody hell" he said to himself. This cant be true. It just cant be. Just then the figure sitting in the car walked out, cane in hand. It was John Hammond.
"Christ, John Hammond?" said the bewildered Muldoon.
"Ah my dear Robert, pleasant surprise, huh?" said Hammond as he walked over to Muldoon and shook his hand. A smile corked over Muldoons face.
"I was pretty convinced that yer bloodyass would have been dead by now"
"Well i'm not, and I'm taking full advantage of it all. The dinosaurs are back my dear Muldoon"
"They're not back, they're dead. All dead!" said a shouting and angered Muldoon.
"Listen, what happend in ninety-three is behind. Poof. History. I had a dream that im not gonna let it slip away from me"
Ralph peeked his head through the window of the car. "Uncle Mully, our work here is done. How bout we head back and have some shrimp on the barbay, haha"
"Sure ol' boy" Muldoon walked into the car and then looked to Hammond. Thorne had already headed back inside the jeep.
"Think about it my friend, i'll be back on the island." said Hammond. Muldoon just grunted and turned the engine on.
"By the way, it's Isla Muertes now"
Location: InGen Main Laboratory, Isla Muertes - 2 days later
Henry Wu was finishing up for the night. He had just gone through another routine day at the lab. Henry Wu had been called upon once again by Hammond to "engineer" dinosaurs. He had not been there to witness the tragic events at the themepark - although he regretted not being there. He was the one that created them, he was the one that assured there would be no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park. Using frog DNA was a gutsy call to say the least, but they needed to fill in the genetic codes somehow. Since then he had been back in college, studying his ass off again. He always wondered what had happend to the dinosaurs when he left. A few years back he was even confronted by a man from BioSyn, who offered Henry Wu to be the head geneticist at the company. He refused, because for the simple fact that he knew they were doing more terrible things than InGen could have ever done. When InGen regained itself, he was immediately confronted by Hammond. Henry Wu was a little hesitant at first, but the money and incentives were too good. Everything had been smoothsailing since he came in. He was even asked to engineer some new - his train of thought was disrupted when the night shift came in. Oddly, John Hammond came in too.
"Henry, my dear ol' boy" said a seemingly laidback Hammond.
"Oh good day sir. Pleasant evening"
"Ah yes, yes. Robert Muldoon accepted my proposal to come back out to the island. Should be here in a day or two"
"Hadn't he been killed back when -?"
"No no, although the battlemarks are pretty evident"
"Well, its time for me to head back out to the housing."
"Wait Henry, before you go. Would you mind goin out and check on the triceratops nest? They're a good hour away or so from there so you shouldn't have no problem. We'd like you to get one of the eggs so you'll be able to conduct some research on it tomorrow"
Henry Wu was a very giving man. "Oh allright"
Henry exited to the facility and took in his assigned jeep. There was still a patch of light in the sky, although the evening breeze was very evident. He stopped about a half a mile away from the nesting site for a precautionary reason. He walked through the dense foliage until he had reached the nest. The trikes were not as far away as he had been told. A sweat started to come across him. Just get the egg and leave. He picked up one of the eggs and headed back through the jungle. Just then he heard a large snapping sound to his left. A tree had just collapsed, followed by another. He then saw it. He saw the large head of triceratops barging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could but the huge dinosaur had the angle on him. Henry Wu was 50 yards from the Jeep. The earth shook thunderously around him as he could hear the trike snorting. He took one last breath, but it was too late. The triceratops lowered its head and rammed one of its horns into Wu's thigh, sending a terrible wave of pain over him. The egg catupulted from his grasp and fell into the underbrush. The trike reared its head back and send Henry Wu sprawling into a ditch. It let out one last roar and went and got its egg. Wu laid in the ditch sprawling around. The triceratops left a deep gash in his left thigh. He cried out in pain.
"Well, at least im alive" Wu said out loud trying to get to his feet. Just as he got to his feet he heard a deep growl inside somewhere in the foliage behind him. Wait a minute, Wu said to himself. Where was he? he looked up at the fence above the ditch and tried to make out the words on the sign attached to it.
"Oh no" said a shaking Henry Wu. The trike didn't just send him sprawling into just a ditch. It sent him sprawling into the Dilophosaur Paddock....
