We made it to a cliff and there was a car on it. "What the hell? Who is that?" I asked. "Hello? Whoever you are, don't shoot. We're coming up!" I called.
"I-uhh...I'm not climbing that." Miles said. "Not in my new stivalis... I'll go around, it'll be faster." Miles told us. Nima was already one step ahead and climbing. "It'll be faster to climb. Nima, I'm coming up behind you." I said. She got up to the top. I climbed up and she offered her hand to help me up. "Thanks." I said. The windows were dark and we couldn't see inside. "Anyone in there?" Nima asked as she knocked on the glass. I grabbed the door handle and pulled on it. The door was jammed. I kept pulling until the door opened. An animal jumped out and zoomed away. Nima went down with a gasp. "Hey now, it's okay." I told her. I offered my hand again, expecting her to ignore it again. This time she took it. Miles came around. "Aw, thats disgusting." He said. We looked inside and saw a kind of chunky dude with his guts ripped out. He was wearing an InGen uniform. "That thing was... feeding on him. What the hell kind of zoo IS this?" Nima asked.
"Why do you keep calling this place a zoo? Did Miles not tell you what this place is?" I asked Nima. "This is a——" Miles punched me in the arm and pulled out a pistol. "What the hell?" I asked.
"I'm not a new worker, and she's not a plumber. We're-" I grabbed his wrist and snatched the pistol away. Then I kicked him into the truck. "Don't move." I told him. Miles put his hands up. "Finish your little story." I told him. I stepped away from Nima and kept my gun aimed at Miles. She kept her hands down.
"We're looking for a canister. It's... a shaving cream can." Miles told us.
"Shaving cream...?" I said. I wondered about it. "There's a shaving cream can, but it's...not shaving cream in it." I told him.
"What was you gonna say this place was?" Nima asked. I looked at her.
"This is a dinosaur park. In that can is dinosaur embryos." I told her. "Listen, InGen has been pissants for a while. I'm in InGen for the money. If you wanna screw them over, fine. But you can't take the embryos. And plus, i brought you here, so I have to keep my eyes on you. Now, do me a favor and keep your noses clean. Capiche?" I asked.
"Fine. Fine." Miles said. I put the gun in my back pocket. "Someone check the car. The other help me down here." I said as I went back down the cliff. I knew Miles was gonna stay up here.
"I'll check the car." Miles said.
"Called it." I said. Nima followed me back down. "That guys a wuss." I told her.
"No crap." Nima said. "Where do you plan to check?" I pulled my flashlight out and shined it in a bush. Nothing. I kept shining it around, trying to find something. Then Miles came back down. "Nothing up there, but i'm gonna smell like dead fat guy for weeks." He told us.
"Did you remove the dead fat guy from the car?" I asked. He made a disgusted face and shook his head. "FUCK, you're a pussy, Miles. Come on, Nima." I said. I went back up. Nima came with me. We hauled the dead guy out of the car. "Disgusting." Nima commented.
"And what a terrible way to go. Getting eaten by a big frickin' lizard." I said.
"Miles is so desperate to screw you over, and you're letting us. I get your reasons, but I'd much rather leave." She said.
"Yeah, I'd be happy to get your asses outta here too." I started. "But he isn't gonna give up, is it?" I asked her. She shook her head. I saw a soda can in the car. "It was in a can of shaving cream, right?" I asked.
"Yeah." Nima said. I grabbed the empty soda can. "Wait. Take a seat where he was." Nima told me. I sat down where the dead guy was. "Now drop the can." I did as she said and dropped it. It rolled over the cliff. Nima looked over. "Bingo." She said. She slid down. I followed her and saw the can of shaking cream. Nima picked it up. "There's the embryos." I said.
"Oh baby, I knew I'd find you!" Miles said as he snatched it from her.
"Okay, you found your embryos. Now do whatever to screw over InGen, and let's go." I told Miles.
"Oh, we're taking this." Miles said.
"The one thing i said not to do." I said. I pulled the pistol out. "Don't try to wrestle it out of my hand because my finger's right on the trigger." I said.
"No way, we..." Mine and Nima's expressions changed. A dilophosaur was behind him. "What?" He asked. I aimed the gun at the dinosaur. Miles turned and got sprayed by it. I shot at it and it ran off. "What the hell was that?!" Miles exclaimed.
"Dilophosaurus." I said. "You're lucky you had those glasses." He took them off. I snatched the embryos from Miles and handed them to Nima. "Miles, nows your chance to grow a pair. Keep watch while we bring down the car." I said. He nodded and stood still. Nima and I went back up. "What is he getting from these embryos anyway?"
"Some money, i believe." She said. I was thinking about throwing them away. "Stop!" Nima said as I lifted my arm. "I don't know how much he'll get from the embryos, but seeing how they're dinosaur, probably a lot...I have a daughter." She told me. My eyes raised. "She's...in the ghetto. Do you know what they do to women in the ghetto?"
"Yes. Terrible, sick things. Things that don't classify them as human anymore." I said. I looked at the embryos in my hand. "I'll help you."
"Thank you." Nima said. We made the car go down the hill. "Chadwick, MOVE!" Nima yelled.
"No no, this-"
"The car is coming down! MOVE!!" I roared. It was too late. The car ran over him.
