THE NEXT FEW DAYS WERE HECTIC FOR ROBYN. She had to designate a few trusted workers to finish off the dig for her while she was away. It was hard to trust someone else which such an important task but she knew that her workers were aware of how valuable the skeleton was and needed to be treated with care.
The day had come where Robyn and Jimmy would get on a helicopter with a few other 'experts' that they had not yet met. That day, Robyn was wearing a pale yellow short-sleeve button-up shirt along with a pair of blue pleated utility shorts, a pair of dark brown hiking boots, white socks and an orange flannel wrapped around her front. Her friend, Jimmy, was wearing a pair of black utility pants, a red t-shirt, hiking boots and a khaki jacket.
The two best friends saw John walking towards a jet black helicopter and decide to catch up to him. "John!" Robyn shouted just as the older man got to the chopper.
"Ah! Robyn!" John hugged his younger friend, gesturing fo the pilot to take her bags. "Jimmy." He acknowledged with a disappointed tone. "If you follow the pilot, you can put your bags away," He spoke to the brunet man, dismissively. Jimmy rolled his eyes, walking away whilst grumbling under his breath. "Ladies first, my dear," John allowed Robyn to get into the helicopter first. Once she got in, she saw four other people in there - two she was already acquainted with. These two people were Dr Alan Grant and Dr Ellie Sattler. They were fellow palaeontologists and the two digging groups had come across each other multiple times. Though it was usual for two teams in the same field of work to be competitors, Robyn's team and Alan and Ellie's team were always supportive of each other - like many teams in the digging field.
"Ellie! Alan!" Robyn exclaimed. "Hello again, it's good to see you!" She hugged Ellie who sat nearest the door and sent a grin to Alan who sat next to her.
"Robyn! What are you doing here?" Ellie was shocked to see her friend.
"Same as you, I suppose," Robyn laughed. She looked around the chopped to see a spare seat in front of Ellie and between the two strangers. "You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" Her voice was eloquent, her accent an odd mixture between an Australian and an American one, creating a unique and captivating voice.
"Not, uh, at all," the man stuttered with a grin. He had tanned skin, dark curly hair and clad in black trousers, a black open-chested button-up and a black leather jacket, completed with a pair of dark rectangular sunglasses.
"Thanks," Robyn smiled, buckling herself into the seat beside him. Just as she was about to introduce herself to her neighbour, Alan interrupted her.
"Jimmy's not with you, is he?" Alan whispered.
Before Robyn could answer, Jimmy made his presence known by stepping on the chopper and sitting beside Alan. "Hi, guys. Long time, no see. How you doing, bud?" Jimmy grinned, slinging his arm over Alan's shoulder briefly with a shake.
