1973 New York

"Thank you for meeting with me," Spoke none other than Bill Randa.

It was New York City. Sitting in a semi-empty bar on a late night. Bill Randa was sitting next to his colleague, Houston Brooks. And across from the was a young women.

"From what I hear," The female grabbed a hold of her beer, "This is very important."

"Danielle," Bill spoke, "You are a clever girl and quite an impressive doctor, given your age."

Danielle took a swig of her beer and nodded, agreeing to his comments. Houston sat in front of her, sitting a bit awkward. Both her and Bill were drinking alcohol whereas he had a glass of water.

"Yes, and?" She spoke.

Houston then took it upon himself to speak, "You have studied a bit in Germany as well as spent time in Vietnam during the war."

Danielle nods, "Yeah. What's your point?"

"Our point is we'd like to offer you a job." Bill said after he finished his glass of whiskey.

Danielle looks at Bill, "Bill," She starts, "I already have a job."

"We understand but you can take some time off," Bill said, "This is an opportunity to be apart of. Be apart of history."

Danielle went to take a sip of her beer but paused. That last sentence made her interested in what Bill had called her to the bar to discuss.

"We have this expedition set up," Bill began, "To research this island. This island is the last piece of Earth we as humans haven't discovered."

Danielle rested her beer on the table, "Research what exactly?" She asks, "And why would you need a doctor on a research expedition?"

"A doctor could come in handy, given an accident could happen or we be attacked by the life forms on the island." Houston said.

Danielle's eyes turn to Houston, "So this research expedition is what?"

"The island," Bill said, "We want to learn about this mysterious island."

Danielle nods to him, "Alright." She spoke, "What else is there about this expedition?"

"We only have a map," Bill said, "But we have men to get us to the island if that's what you're wondering."

Danielle nods, "That was a question I did have," She said, "And how much would I be paid for my help?"

Houston placed a stack of money on the table, it looked to be a lot. Danielle looks at it and then back to the men.

"I want more than that," She said, "Chances are this is going to be real dangerous. No one knows what is capable on this island. So if we make it back, I want at least double."
