Aspen ran down the hall, Maple in close pursuit, Owen dashing down the opposite way.
"Lowery.." She whispered.
"Cruthers..." She hissed.
"Lowery Cruthers!" She snapped.
"Aspen? Is that you?" Lowery poked his head out of a room, which was not lit and had some show playing on the television.
"Yes. Lowery I need you to tell me everything you know about this little dinosaur, and Mary "Aspen" Hoskins." Aspen pointed to the little white dino whom was still trailing Aspen.
"Wait... why do you want to know about Mary? They told me she died in an accident... But... i got this paper that said- Do you think- Wait is-" He was quiet for a minute.
"Lowery calm down." Aspen said quietly.
"Why don't you come in..." He said softly, rubbing the little dino's chin.
"Lowery, who was she?" Aspen asked, softly, sitting down on one of his seats.
"She was my best friend, I think her dad was Vic or something, but she hated the guy." He shrugged, and took a picture from one of his bags.
"I took this picture the day Mary left." He sighed, showing it to her.
"Is that Maple?" Aspen pointed to the little white figure the woman was holding.
"Yea, ... How did you know her name was Maple?" He asked, stunned.
"I saw it in my dream." Aspen explained, grabbing hold of the picture.
"She looks like... like me...?" Aspen tilted her head.
"She... she does..... What's the issue... I mean... wait... do you think maybe..." Lowery's eyes widened in the slight dark of the room.
"Yes."
"Oh my god."
"But I don't think they'd ever admit it."
"You.. you're serious. You think they-" Lowery was fidgiting and shaking slightly
"Lowery, calm down. She said they could, she was pretty sure she wouldn't be coming back." Aspen comforted.
"How do you know"
"I was there"
It was quiet for a moment.
"So they took her D.N.A and structure..."
"Uh-huh.."
"Wired it with a bunch of other animal's D.N.A..."
"mm-hmm...."
"And tampered with her head so that she thought she was made from scratch, she had a family... she had a friend.. I was going to..." lowery choked.
"Lowery, I'm sorry, I am." Aspen said quietly.
"It's not your fault."
"They didn't kill her, I'm sure." Aspen whispered.
"How'd they... do...it...then..." He chose his words carefully.
"You mean how'd they make me without killing her." Aspen said quietly.
"It takes..."
"One drop of blood, to create a strand of D.N.A, however, they can only use one drop or they won't be able to edit the creature's D.N.A-make-up. They can't use an entire body, I mean. But, they couldn't have her roaming around, and she'd be a bit messed with due to they had to figure out her functions and other things.. but, they probably are keeping her somewhere. In some sort of... hybernation state..." Aspen explained. "in case something went wrong with their expiriments..." Aspen explained.
"Wait... your friend who died... the hybrid... doesnt that mean..." Lowery's eyes were wide with hope.
"We might be able to fix her."
"Oh my god we have to get back to Isla Nublar. Find Mary's body..."
"And Nova's. It's also on Isla Nublar, I bet."
"We could also figure out why Maple isn't growing."
"Maple isn't growing?"
"She should be full grown, she has an accelerated growth rate, due to her make-up. No cuttlefish. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried."
"good."
Aspen put her hand on Lowery's which was shaking nervously.
"Hey it's gonna be okay, we'll find your girlfriend, and then, it'll be fine."
"She wasn't my girlfriend"
"not yet she wasnt"
"oh hush" he smiled.
Lowery, his eyes, they were dark, as Aspen looked away.
How did she find out.
Why?
Perhaps.. I should make the call.
No.
Maybe...
I need time to think.
