Jurassic Park V: Mainland Crisis-Chapter 2
"So. What did you want to see me for Dr. Thorne? I mean, this is your
vacation. And-"
"I know. I know. Its always business wise. Well, it is. I need a couple
solar panels, about five more pounds titanium, and two spare tires." Thorne
said checking a list. He finished the last of sesame chicken and started to
eat his rice.
"That’s it? Why not buy those from a local Home Depot or something?" George
said taking a swig of his coke. They were in the food court of the Rock City
Square Mall.
"It’s the stuff that’s light weighted and almost illegal." Thorne said with
a small childish grin.
George looked at him curiously and nodded. He’s known Thorne for the
majority of his adult life. And he never really gotten use to the way he
talked about these almost "illegal things". Its like he knows something he
doesn’t. "So, what are you up too? I mean with the equipment. You heading
down back to Costa Rica?"
"No. It’s for an associate. Hes heading down to Africa. Said he was going to
do some work with Sarah Harding. Had a moldy, smelly can of shaving cream
though. Kind of weird. Said he knew you. Or at least you were a associate of
him. His name is Ben." Thorne said finishing his rice. "Hmm. Nothing better
than fried rice at the mall."
"Heh. Yeah. I talked to him. During the Costa Rica trip with the new
station. He was weird." George looked up at the glass ceiling. Birds chirped
and flew around. Peaceful he thought. Thorne looked at the youthful man. He
had is whole life ahead. Yet, hes wasting it away.
"Well, I better get going. Promised Megan we could check out cribs and
stuff." George got up, "Well have a nice vacation, Thorne. Rock City is
pleasant. No crimes, no murders, sort of like an Alaskan city: small and
perfect. Catch you around." Thorne saw George get up and walk towards the
entrance. George was right he thought. It was small and peaceful. No crimes,
no traffic. Just a small town. He too got up and went for the main entrance
when he noticed George coming back. With his wife, Megan.
"Hello. I’m Megan, George’s wife." Megan said extending her hand. Thorne
thought she was lovely.
"Hi. I’m Jack Thorne." Thorne replied shaking Megan’s hand. "I would love to
stay and chat, but I have to get going." Thorne walked out of the Mall. He
strolled over to his truck and got in. A couple of maps of Rock City fell
out. He looked at them for the first time. There were four main highways in
the city and several small streets. There was about six neighborhoods total.
He looked a little north of the main part of the city and past the forest.
He saw a couple of plazas and the airport. To the left there was the BioSyn
Company. If it wasn’t for the BioSyn Company, there would be more to the
city. The BioSyn company owned about 5 square miles of nothing.
"Hey Thorne!" Thorne looked up too see George running towards him. "I have
some information for you.
"Yeah. What is it?"
"Ben. He umm, he does not want the car no more."
"He what? He doesn’t want the car? How do you know thi-" Before he could
finish George handed him a piece of paper. "Damn him!"
"Don’t worry. He paid us both already. About fifty grand each." George
handed Thorne a small bag of money. "So, what are you going to do with your
money?"
"Buy a new car." Thorne stated looking at his truck. "This piece of garbage
never really got me far."
"Ours is going to the baby." He quickly glanced back at his wife. "Got to
go." He then left.
Nice young bright man, Thorne thought. He climbed into his car took another
glance at his map. Unfortunately, he thought, my hotel is close to the
BioSyn building. It was the closest building to it.
~~~~~
Megan walked around her room. George left a while ago. His job is really
getting his way of life, she thought. She slightly startled by a sharp knock
on her window. She peered through it to see John. He’s pissed she thought.
"Hey John, whats wrong?"
"It’s the can. The embryos have been dead for a long time. A long ass time.
We are all worrying and pissed. InGen made no others and we wasted all that
money." John said.
"John, your not making sense. You guys bought at least two buildings that
belonged to InGen. Why don’t you check them out? I’m sure you’ll find
something." Megan said trying to reassure him that’s every thing is ok.
"You mean the one in Montana and Palo Alto. Sure we bought those. But InGen
cleared out immediately. We figured they took everything out that related to
Jurassic Park." John said with annoyance.
"Did you check? No. Go there and check." Megan demanded.
"Why? Its just a waste of money." John said hosting himself on the window
seal. He let out a sigh and glanced down the street. "Maybe your right. We
have nothing to lose. I’ll talk this over with Byrd. Hopefully he might let
us do it."
"Megan glanced out the window and saw the headlights of George’s car. "Well
you better get going. George is home." Megan said. "Wait, what did you do
with Ben’s body?"
"Hid it in the forest. We made it look like he killed himself. Clever of you
to wear a painted glove. Well in a couple of weeks you’ll hear from me.
Later." John left as George walked in.
"Work sucked." George announced as Megan opened her mouth. "Lopez." He said.
He walked into the living room and slid into a beat up green armchair.
"What she do this time?" Megan asked sitting gently on George’s lap.
"Nothing. She did nothing." George turned on the TV and flipped to channel
13. "Watch for your self." On the screen Lisa Lopez talked in a calm voice.
Her voice was calm, but her statement is what caught Megan’s eye. It was all
distorted. She was glaring, yet smiling. "See?"
"Well I see she is not all that good at hiding expressions." Megan said
turning to face her husband.
"I noticed that too. Well that’s why she is p.o. Because she saw the replay
and was furious. Hopefully she doesn’t watch this." He stared at the screen
and watched as his boss and ex-girlfriend make a fool out of her self. He
noticed something in the background. It stood there for about a second and
left. He replayed the short sequence in his mind. He barely saw it. It was
about a foot high and...something.
"You noticed that? That thing?" Megan asked.
"Yeah I did. But could not see it completely." George said reclining the
chair.
"Can we get the copy of the news?" Megan said laying down on top of George.
"No. We always erase the footage after the news is over. And unfortunately
I’m not in charge of it this time. And I have no idea who is doing this
time." George stated. He tilted his head back and slept.

John shook violently as the plane took off. The pilot noticed and asked if
he was all right. "Fine. Just a little nervous."
"Are you sure you’re not having a seizure. You’re shaking the whole entire
row." Rob Byrd asked. He was wealthy built man with a grizzly beard. He was
the new owner of BioSyn.
"Yes I said." John yelled. It was about two weeks after he last talked to
Megan. She was the one who gave him the idea to check the two InGen
building. The one in Montana has been destroyed so now they were on there
way towards Palo Alto.
"Clever of you to think of this, John. Maybe we might find Henry Wu’s
research before he went to the island." Byrd said patting John on the back.
John nodded and felt a little guilty.
~~~~~
"We are almost there." Announced the pilot. "So we going in there and
searching, then leaving?"
"Yes Puntz." Byrd said. He shifted in his seat with irritation. It was only
him, John, and Justin Puntz. Puntz was the newest employee. He was young,
obedient, and dumb. Plus he really irritated him.
"Huh? What is happening?" John asked dreamily. He looked at the window and
saw a smudge of drool on there. "We there yet"
"Yes, John. We’ll be landing in about four minutes." Puntz said. He slowly
pushed down on the joystick sending the plane towards a small runway. After
a minute or so the plane’s tires touched the pavement.
John and Puntz jumped out of the plane and ran towards the back. They opened
the cargo bay doors and pulled out a big cylinder container with a WARNING
label. It was frosty and had too be handled with glove. John and Punts
tugged it along after Byrd who opened the front main doors. Inside was dimly
lit. It was small and looked like a pit stop. There was still electricity.
Byrd walked into the middle of the waiting room.
It was a mess. Some of the cushions were over turned and there was paper
scattered every where. Byrd walked up to the front desk and saw the drawers
were pulled out and empty.
"InGen did a hasty job on clearing out." Puntz said setting down the
container. John let it down also and walked towards the left side of the
room. "What are you doing john?"
"Thought of something InGen might do." He replied knocking on the walls to
see if they were hollow. No, he thought. He proceeded all around the room
and found nothing. "Damn."
"Come on" Byrd commanded. He opened the door to the hallway. He saw four
offices and stairs leading up to the storage container. It looked untouched,
he thought. He walked into the first office marked "John Hammond". Byrd
opened the door and walked in.
Inside was a small desk piled up with files and blue prints. Byrd opened up
one of the files and saw it was just a bunch of memos and ideas. He then
went to the blue prints. They were just designs for Jurassic Park. He opened
up the file cabinets and drawers. There was nothing inside except some
photos. He motioned John and Puntz to leave, and he followed behind.
John pushed opened the next office marked "Robert Muldoon". There was
nothing inside. It was dusty and empty. Byrd looked at the bare walls and
floor. He walked up to the wall and put his fist through it. He looked into
the hole and saw nothing. Puntz walked out of the room and to the next one
marked "Dennis Nedry".
Puntz walked over to the desk. He opened up the drawers and saw a January
issue of Playboy, some computer manuals, and a note. He then logged onto the
computer. It was an old Dell, and the files looked ancient. He opened one up
and saw it was just the computer plan for Jurassic Park. A lot of Jurassic
Park crap. He walked out.
"Anything useful?" Byrd asked. He was wrapping his hand with a cloth.
"No." Puntz responded with a tone a failure in his life. He walked into the
next room marked "John Arnold". A moment later he walked out. "Nothing. It
was the same with the other two. I think I realized something," He said.
"all of the people who died never was able to clean up their offices. SO
that’s why Muldoon’s office was the only one cleared out." Puntz explained.
"Shut up Puntz. That’s not of importance." Byrd snapped. He was
reconsidering on not firing Puntz. He glared at Puntz and walked into the
last room marked "Henry Wu". H peered inside. There was a desk and a
computer. He walked over to the computer and opened the files marked
directory. It displayed the location of objects in the building. He typed in
embryos in the search tab. Instantly a password screen appeared. Damn, he
thought. He tried several combinations. Finally he thought as the screen
changed. It showed him exactly what he wanted.
He walked out of the room and to the stairs. He proceeded up them to the
second floor. It was a small hallway and had only two doors. Both required
ID cards. He looked at the first on to the right. He tried to push it open,
but nothing happened. Might as well go for plan B. He walked back down
stairs to the main room. He walked straight to the front desk and hit a big
red button. All the lights went out in the room and building. Puntz and John
walked into the room as Byrd ran pass them.
"What the fuck?" John said looking at Puntz. Suddenly he heard shouting.
"Get the cooler! Now!" Byrd yelled running up the stairs. John and Puntz
picked up the cooler and jogged down the hall way and up the stairs. They
squinted in the darkness and saw a door opened. Byrd walked out and walked
in the next room. He told them to follow. In the dim light they saw several
dozen blue tubes. Byrd smiled and held one up. He quickly started to take
them out and put them into the cooler...
