Grady's Blood

Do This For Her

3rd POV

[June 12th, 2018]

In an elevator, a woman was standing with her phone in one hand and some coffees in the other. She wore dark blue jeans, high heels, a red shirt underneath a long coat that reached down to her knees while her ginger hair was tied into a pony tail with a fringe at the front, covering her forehead. This woman was Claire Dearing, previous park manager of Jurassic World before it went down.

The elevator doors opened to reveal a large group of people, working behind desks on computers or working on paper with dinosaur signs everywhere. One of these people were on the phone to someone, seemingly trying to keep them interested and on the call while Claire was handing out coffee.

Zia: As a matter of fact, I do have the dinosaurs best interest in mind. I'm a paleo-veterinarian.

Woman: *phone* Is that even a real thing?

Zia: That's a real thing.

Woman: *phone* Have you seen one?

Zia: No, I haven't seen one with my own eyes. You know not everyone can afford to spend their life savings-

She lowered the phone, seemingly frustrated before motioning to Claire to come over to her. Claire handed the last coffee before walking over to Zia as she handed Claire the phone.

Claire: Oh- oh, hello...

Zia: *whisper* Congresswoman Delgado. 

Claire: Congresswoman Delgado, I'm-I'm Claire, I'm the lead organizer here.

Claire paused and listened to the congress woman's response. 

Claire: Of-of course, but if I could just get a moment of your time?

Claire paused again, waiting for a response and the one she received clearly made her happy.

Claire: Great, thank you.

Zia and Claire shared a high five before walking away while informing the congress woman of the Dinosaur Protection Groups (DPG) purpose. Another man with glasses who was further infront of Zia turned his chair around and looked over to her.

Franklin: That was, like, forty seconds, you're getting better.

Zia: You've gotta stop letting your mom stop shopping for you.

Franklin: You don't need to insult me everytime someone pisses you off.

Zia: Dude, I'm a doctor, not a telemarketer. What is your job again, you plug in cords, right?

Franklin: It's actually more important than it sounds.

???: I mean, he has you there, Zia.

Zia and Franklin turn to the side and look at another person who wore a raptor tooth necklace and had a yellow jacket on along with a white shirt while wearing long light blue jeans.

Zia: Seriously, Darius? Taking his side?

Darius: Hey, I'm a neutral party in this. I'm just agreeing with his point.

Darius said before raising his hands in mock defense while Claire walked over, closer to the back of the large office room, still on the phone.

Claire: Can I ask you a question?

Woman: *phone* Go on.

Claire: Do you have kids?

Woman: *phone* Two, yes.

Claire: Ok, so, your kids, an entire generation, has grown up in a world where dinosaurs are living and breathing but soon they're going to watch them go extinct. Or not, if people like you make a difference.
