JPV: Life Finds a Way: Chap. 4 part 3
By Mr Goodbytes
Chapter 4 part 3: Electrifying Discovery.
“Faster! Take as many twists and tight spaces as you can,” Grant said.
They could hear the sound and feel the vibrations of two large animals walking slowly, but steadily in their direction. It finally stopped as the group moved into the deepest heart of the jungle. The following dinosaurs would have to fight hard to make it through the thick flora.
“Okay,” said Grant, “We rest here as long as possible, then we push on. If I remember correctly, there should be a clearing around here.”
“That’s right,” Billy said, “You wrote in your book that there was a clearing west of the jungle river.”
“Yes, right over that hill,” Grant replied pointing towards a small rise.
Resting for about five minutes, Grant rose to his feet.
“Let’s move. It’s getting dark.”
Billy led the way towards the small incline. His feet began pounding as if on pavement. Looking down, he saw that he was walking on pavement! Although very overgrown, the asphalt was still visible in some spots. They were standing on an old maintenance road! Glancing up, Michael Nedry noticed a small, overgrown, mound on the side of the hill.
“Oh no,” He said, “Is that what I think it is?”
“It is,” Nedry said.
As the reached the mound, the group saw the distinctive shape of a jeep. The same jeep in which Dennis Nedry met his grizzly fate. Grant and the others peered inside. Michael turned away, fearing what may be inside.
“It’s alright,” Hank said, “It’s empty.”
“Enough with the peep show, “Grant said sternly, “Move on.”
The six humans continued their journey, walking up the hill, and through a small patch of jungle to the clearing. As Simone pushed her way through, she came out into the bright light. She looked at Grant. He was standing in one spot, his mouth hanging open, not saying a word.
“What the hell is happening here?”
Stretching out before them was a large field full of buildings. A huge fence covered in sharp barbs and small signs with lightening bolts printed on them surrounded the enclosure. Grant had made them duck back into the jungle. Armed men and women guarded the gates of the barrier. Others wore lab coats, and scurried about quickly.
“Come on,” Marlin said, “There’s our way out.”
“No,” Grant said, “It’s not safe. We have no idea who these people are.”
As they watched, a large vehicle with a metal cage drove into a small building. The building sloped backwards, and appeared to be too small for such large truck. Grant deduced that there must be a massive underground structure beneath it. Seven minutes later, the truck returned to the surface. Inside the cage, Grant saw the distinctive outline of a carnivorous dinosaur. The truck pulled through the gate, and the humans saw the blue logo on the hood.
“Biosyn,” Grant said.
The Cryolophosaurus stared at the group from inside the cage. It roared loudly as the vehicle carried it down a small dirt road towards the coast.
“Hands up!”
Hank turned to see a large man wearing a mask pointing a rifle at Grant’s head. Three more muscular men approached, all armed with a pistol and a rifle.
“Move! There’s someone here that wants to see you,” The lead man said.
With guns pointed at their backs, they marched single file towards the base.
