InGen High part 24
By CeratosPit
The Alpha raptor just shook his head and went over to the back door to follow Sarah. The young redhead ran up a staircase most students would never see. She burst out of a third floor door and continued through the hallway. But where would she go? She scanned the room without stopping and noticed something peculiar. The lights were on in her father’s office. What if he…? No! Sarah opened the door and slammed it behind her. “Dad!” she cried. “Dad are you here…?”
Sarah turned around and couldn’t believe her eyes. The back wall was gone and it revealed a large, poorly lit backroom with big test tubes running from the floor to the ceiling. Her jaw hung wide open as she walked inside and examined the enormous tubes even closer. There were teenagers in them. Most of them looked like students she had seen in the hallways and classes. She came up to one that looked like Paul Kirby. Then one of her alluring Ian Malcolm. And then, most horrifying of all, one of herself.
“You were never supposed to see them.” Dr. Gerry Harding’s voice said softly from behind. Sarah sPun around and looked at her father.
“Daddy…” Sarah’s broken voice said. “What…are they?”
“They’re clones, Sarah.” he explained with a hint of shame in his tone. “Clones of the student body. John Hammond isn’t just your principal, he’s the founder classified organization named InGen that sPecializes in genetic engineering. He employed me to make copies of the children who go here, kill them off and replace them with versions of themselves that possess the knowledge to do the same.”
“Wait, this--whoa, this doesn’t make sense!” Sarah argued. “You’re just a school nurse!”
“That’s only a cover, sweetie.”
“And what about this!?” Sarah said, slamming the tank holding her copy. “Were you going to kill me too and replace me with this abomination!?”
“Dammit, Sarah, you died five years ago!” her father confessed. Sarah froze in disbelief. “At least your original did. Of cancer. Then I met Hammond and he told me that he had the means to bring you back if I had the knowledge. I was a distraught scientist who was mad at the world for taking away the only person I ever loved. I threw ethics out the window, recreated you and uploaded memory implants from the original Sarah into your brain! When I thanked Hammond and asked him how I could ever repay him, he gave me this job and threatened to kill me if I ever backed out.”
Sarah began weeping. Her back fell to the test tube and she slowly sank to the floor. “That…can’t be true…it can’t…”
Suddenly, her dad burst out laughing. “Hah hah, PSYCHE!” He wrapped his arms around his chest. Sarah suddenly felt the strangest relief she had ever experienced. “Oh God, Sarah, I’m just shittin’ you! Honestly you can be so gullible sometimes! Seriously.” Sarah stopped crying. She was only confused now. “No, truth is I made this clone in case something should ever happen to you. Like, if you ever got shot by me because you learned things you weren’t supposed to know about. Oh, look!” Dr. Harding said while pulling a revolver from his lab coat pocket. “It looks like I will be needing that clone of you after all!”
“Daddy, wait!” Sarah begged. “You don’t have to do this! You don’t want to do this!”
“You know I don’t, Sarah! I didn’t want any of this! I wanted to be a veterinarian, damn it!” As Dr. Harding gripped the trigger, his arm went limp. “No, you’re right. I can’t kill my own daughter. I may be a mad scientist, but I’m not that heartless.”
“It’s okay, daddy.” Sarah said as she got back up. She went over and hugged her dad. “Every family has it’s problems. Our’s are just a little weirder.”
Dr. Harding hugged his daughter back. “So, did this Ian boy you have a crush on sleep with and impregnate you yet?”
“Daddy!” said almost laughing.
“What? I want to be a grandfather before I die!” he explained. Then, his attention was drawn to what should have been an empty test tube. There appeared to be a dinosaur’s head floating around in it. “That’s strange. I don’t recall sPlicing any lizard children… lately…” Suddenly, the head sPrang to life and the alpha male velociraptor that stalked Sarah came around the side of the tube to attack her father. “What the Hell is this thing!?”
Sarah smacked her forehead. She couldn’t believe she forgot to tell him! “Oh yeah! I totally forgot, but in a completely unrelated story, mutant dinosaurs are attacking the school.”
She watched as her father dodged the raptor’s slashes and bites. Dr. Harding pulled a remote control out of his pocket and pressed a button. Behind Sarah, the walls of the nurse’s office began to close in from the sides. He was attempting to trap the beast! “Sarah! Get out of here and save yourself while you still can! Forget about me! Just go!” Sarah shrugged her shoulders and walked out. “Wait a minute!” her dad yelled. “You’re supposed to argue with me first and then leave!”
“Well, I am still pretty mad at you for cloning and trying to kill me.” Sarah explained.
“I know.” her dad said as the doors slowly came together. “I do love you, Sar-bear, it’s just that I’m a mad scientist and I have trouble seeing that sometimes. But hopefully, this selfless act of sacrifice will make up for it!”
And as the doors closed, Sarah admitted, “It does, Daddy. I love you.” She rested her forehead against the wall that wasn’t there a few second ago. Sarah then turned around and headed for the hallway, but suddenly paused. “Oh crap!” she said. “I just realized I’m an orphan!”
Back in the school kitchen, the guys and raptors set up some lawn chairs and bowls of nachos as they watched El and Mandy try and grab each other in a mess of chocolate syrup, jelly, cheese whiz, Cool Whip and peanut butter slathered all over the floor. By now, they were stripped down to their bras, panties and boots and they both wrapped each other‘s heads in their thighs.
“I’m gonna see if they’ll wrestle over this football!” Paul said, getting one of his pointless ideas. “Hey ladies, go long!”
Paul hurled the football through the air and it hit El square in the face. “Oh, my nose!” the perfect girl screamed.
“When I’m through with you, you’re gonna look like Owen Wilson!” Mandy said.
Roland came back to the guys holding a case of beer in either hand. “Hey, blokes, I miss anything?”
“Ah, yeah.” Ian informed him. “El tried to suffocate Mandy’s face in between her knockers.”
Roland resPonded with a “Bloody Hell!”
“Man, they look like they’re getting tired.” Billy noticed. “What the Hell is going on, here!?” he screamed at the fighters. “C’mon, she stole your Croissant!!! You ain’t letting her get away with that, are you!? Fight! Fight! Fight!”
“Fight! Fight! Fight!” the rest of the guys began chanting. But the chanting, if anything, just slowed the girls down even more.
Mandy was the first to stop. “You know, I’d enjoy kicking your ass a lot more if these pervs weren’t getting off on us.”
“And I’d feel better kicking your ass if it was for a better reason than a croissant.” El told her. “I mean, that’s just stupid, really.”
“True. Plus, I know we’re polar opposites and all, but the more I think about it, I don’t even know where this animosity between us came from.”
“I do, I think. Remember in first grade, when Ms. Krabinfestation was picking the kid who could take care of Bloodbath the hamster for the weekend? I really wanted to take him home but she picked you and on the following Monday, you told us all that your pet snapping alligator turtle ate him.”
“I thought Bloodbath would’ve gotten along with snappy. My parents always bought him mice to ‘play with‘, but they always ’went home’ when I wasn’t looking. I was young, I didn’t know alligator turtles ate mice. I’ve hated my parents ever since for lying to me about that.”
“I really wanted Bloodbath to play with my ferret. And I’ve hated you ever since because of that incident.”
“That’s right. You and a bunch of other kids. That’s what made me feel like such an outsider and adopt my punk persona in the first place. I guess I grew to hate you for being a poular, perfect girl because I needed a better reason to brood than a dead hamster.”
“And I grew to hate you for being a rude bitch because I needed a better reason too. Come to think of it, we were pretty good friends up until that episode.”
“Yeah. We were.”
And with that, the years of bitterness between the perfect, popular princess and the pretty, pissed off punk girl came to an end. They came together and gave each other a great big hug. This didn’t stop the guys from chanting, though. However, they changed the words to “Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!” Which of course they did not.
“Suck my ass, you guys!” El said as an homage to her renewed friendship.
“They probably will if you give them a chance to.” Mandy explained. “Sorry, boys, fight’s over.”
All the guys groaned. Even the raptors. A couple of them made raptor noises at each other, which would have translated to “Well, there goes our evening’s entertainment.” “Right. Let’s just eat them.”
Then, almost as if they knew what the dinosaurs were talking about, the gang ran screaming in every direction. They all ran out of the kitchen and out of the cafeteria with the raptors hot on their trails. They continued running down the hallway and into some classrooms on either side that happened to be unlocked. From one classroom, they ran into another and the raptors followed. Sometimes they followed the raptors. Sometimes they ran into one room and ran out of a different one on the other side. Sometimes cartoon characters who weren’t even in this story ran past them. Cheesy rock music played throughout the whole scenario. If it wasn’t so serious, they probably would have found the whole thing amusing.
Dennis, Ian and Nash found themselves hiding under the teacher’s desks in one of the rooms. “Hey, guys.” Dennis started. “Would it be cool if I cleared my conscience to you?”
Nash looked at him as if he was kidding. “It would be cool if you shut the hell up!”
“But I gotta tell this to someone!” Dennis insisted. “I might not get a second chance!”
Ian rolled his eyes. “Just do it quickly and, ah, quietly.”
“All these dinosaurs?” Dennis began. “I made ‘em. I fed Wu’s birds some Degeneration Extreme pills and started mutating and giving birth to horny primitive freaks. Eventually, this happened but I didn’t know that until it was too late!”
“Degeneration Extreme pills?” Ian scoffed. “You, ah, must be kidding me.”
“No, I’m serious!” Dennis told him. And just then, he remembered that one pill he saved for himself. He reached into his pocket and pulled it out. “Hey, I’ve got an idea. It’s completely ludicrous, but it just might work.”
“Would you shut up?” Nash whisPered. “There’s a dinosaur in this room!”
Without a second thought, Dennis swallowed the pill. Surprised by it‘s seeming ineffectiveness, he said “Huh. That’s funny. I don’t feel any--” And then he began thrashing wildly and babbling like a retarded Mandrill.
“Shut up, sucka!” Nash insisted. “We got no time for the jibber jabber!”
Attracted by all the commotion, a pair of raptors came around and looked under the desk. Normally, they would’ve been quite happy to have seen three helpless humans, but the shaky fat one confused and frightened them. His skin became pinker than a Valentines Day card, and while his arms seemed to bulk up heavily, his legs nearly doubled in length and became freakishly thin. His face became cartoonish and baby-like with great big eyes, the gayest smile you’ve ever seen and thick rosy cheeks. His “other” cheeks became extremely muscular and stuck out about two feet from his ass. He could sit on them like a stool.
When the transformation finished, he stood up tall, knocking the desk back with his head. The raptors had suddenly forgotten all about Nash and Ian and tried to get a bite out of the meaty looking pink guy. But when they clamped their jaws around the thick arms, their sharp teeth couldn’t penetrate the blubber. The pink monster grabbed them by the necks and bashed their skulls together.
“Sweet chaos.” Ian said in disbelief. “Denis Nedry has just turned into…”
Nash decided to christen the rosy giant “…The Inedible Honky!”
