Hope you guys have a good day, and please stay home, stay safe.

Darius and Brooklynn were walking for three days, covering a lot of ground in the process. They haven't found anything for cloth yet. They were starting their loop back to camp. They just came across a jeep. They didn't plan it, but maybe they could find something in it. When Darius looked at it further, he saw that it wasn't grey and blue, but red and grey. He rubbed his hand across the door, and some mud was scrapped off and showed the Jurassic Park logo.

"What the hell is this thing doing stuck here?" Darius asked.

Looking around, Brooklynn saw an old sign that said East Dock and pointed to a tunnel. "It was trying to escape to the East Dock at the old park."

Darius opened the door, and a foul stench pours out. Darius sees the cause of the smell, and jumps back as he sees a human skeleton. Black bones and a strange goo was going to give Darius trauma. "What is it?" Darius hears Brooklynn's voice.

Thinking quickly, he turns himself to block her view. "Will you wait at the bottom of the hill please?"

Brooklynn gives him a weird look. "Why? And what the hell is that smell?"

Darius looks at her in the eyes, and with desperation, says, "Please. Just... wait at the bottom of the hill." Brooklynn looks him in the eyes and sees... fear? This was a new one for her. She has seen fear from everyone here. Everyone except Darius. "Brooklynn. Please."

She nodded, and headed down the hill. If he is this shaken up about something, then it's got to be pretty bad.

Darius looked back in the jeep, and for whatever reason, decided to pat him down. It felt wrong, but if he could find out who this guy was, maybe he could provide some closure to their family. He didn't find anything on or in his jacket. Darius shuddered at the thought of digging any deeper. But, he reached his hand closer, and touched his chest gently. The pressure was enough to make the bones crack and break. He was doing his best to keep himself from throwing up and shouting at himself in disgust.

At the bottom, Brooklynn was wondering what was going on with Darius. She was just standing on too of a pile of mud. After kicking some mud around, she felt something. She bent down and used her hands to sort through the mud. She finally found an object. When she pulled it out, she saw that it looked like... A bottle of shaving cream?

Darius had finished sorting through the dead man's clothes. He hated himself right now. How could he let himself be so heartless? Going through a dead man's body. But he did find a name tag. He moved the weird goo out of the way, trying to see if he could figure out their name. However, not wanting to look at the half dried up skeleton any longer, Darius closed the door and shuddered at himself in disgust. "Darius," Brooklynn's voice calls to him. "Come look at this."

Darius made his way down, and saw what she was looking at. "What the hell is that?" Brooklynn hands the can to him. Darius recognizes that it's supposed to be a bottle of shaving cream. He started inspecting the can. He doesn't know why, but he ends up trying to unscrew it from the bottom. It works. "Why would your cheap bottle of shaving cream need a secret compartment?"

Brooklynn points out, "Look." Darius looks to where her fingers point to. "It's a bunch of... Dino D.N.A. samples?" Darius looks back at the card he found. He uses his shirt to clean it as best he could. "Where did you find that?"

Darius answered as honestly as he could, "I found it in the jeep." They both look at the picture. A man. The name read Dennis Nedry. Occupation: Park Programmer. The name meant nothing to them. But, there was something eerily familiar about him.

Brooklynn shook her head and gave a nervous chuckle. "I think we've been away from civilization way too long. If I didn't know any better, I would say that he has-"
