The Jurassic Family

Chapter 8: Adventures in the Catacombs

Arriving at the airport, Peyton gave the car back to Masrani Corp to the employee before heading to the C-130J. The teen then boarded the C-130J Super Hercules, where she was welcomed by the crew.

"Welcome aboard. We had authorization to bring you from there to Pennsylvania. But the return flight will be done to Juan Santamaria Airport instead. From there, a HH-60G Pave Hawk will fly you to Isla Nublar."

"Got it" Peyton answered as she sat while the pilot started the engines and closed the ramp.

Peyton then took a headset, which she put on her ears for the remainder of the flight to Pennsylvania. Arriving at Pitsburgh, she went towards Captain Donnie Watkins, who greeted her and led her to the armory, where she would take some gear, a uniform and military equipment. In the armory, Peyton traded her surplus clothes for an Airman Battle Uniform or ABU. She put her clothes inside her paratrooper rucksack, while she also took a customized Colt M4A1 carbine, a Beretta M9 pistol, a TYR plate carrier with ammunition pouches and a Security Forces beret. Peyton also gave Donnie, the C-130J crew and the other airmen the information they needed to know about Valentina Grady, Project Nature and Project Mother.

Then, she boarded the plane while an airman brought Peyton's rucksack to a CV-22 Osprey bound for Isla Nublar. Captain Watkins came to Peyton and gave her some information.

"The whole uniform you wear was intended for surplus. But leave your gear in the Super Hercules on the flight back. There will be some guys with you"

"Wilco." Peyton yelled as three USAF airmen mounted the plane.

Donnie then gave the plane crew a thumbs up meaning the mission could begin, before going away. The C-13J then took off, flew to Paris, where it landed at Roissy airport. There, Peyton and the airmen exited the C-130J, mounted a train to the Montparnasse railway station, where they took the subway to the catacombs.

Once at the catacombs, an airman then promptly asked Peyton what to do while the teenager was inputting the code 129-358 into her GPS.

"Where to?" the airman asked.

"This way." Peyton told, shouldering her M4A1 with her left hand while holding the GPS with the right one.

The quartet went through the catacombs with the torchlight mounted on their rifles on. As they walked in the dark tunnels, an airman saw many bones in the walls.

"How many dead bodies are buried here?"

"I dunno. Just avoid being one of them." another airman replied.

The group came across a staff-only tunnel, which had walls made of human bones and skulls. These images didn't scare Peyton as she knew the Paris catacombs had been dug to contain bones from neighbouring cemetaries, which had become too small to store more bodies. As they walked in the catacombs, they stumbled on a group of tourists visiting the place. Fortunately, the employee motioned the tourists not to take care of the group, who continued towards their location objective.

The airmen and Peyton arrived to the indicated coordinates, where Peyton found a small hole. She let out her cousin's silver whistle, inserted it in the hole and revealed a door, which opened to reveal then underground lab. Peyton came in first with the airmen following. One of them saw a flask labeled 'Project Mother' and called Peyton.

"Found it."

Peyton took the flask from the airman while the others put the remaining flasks in bubble wrap before putting them in Peyton's pack. After the operation, a airman destroyed the tracker, preventing anyone from finding the lab in the future. As they exited the lab, the fourth airman shut the door tightly, locked it by removing the whistle and covered the hole so that no one would unlock that door. The quartet exited the catacombs, went back to their plane and left Paris for Costa Rica.
