Lucie Campbell was in Ben Taunton’s office. She spent a lot of time with him, because of her position as Public Relations manager. But a lot of the time, she tried to get in on the action too. After all, it wouldn’t be fair if she had to go and see to people whilst the rest of the team fought of dinosaurs, would it?
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
“Sorry Ben, I must go”, Lucie interrupted.
“If you must”, Ben sighed. Lucie ran out of Ben’s office and down the ramp to the rest of the team. Unlike what you’d expect a PR person to wear, Lucie wore jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt most of the time. She wore her long, silky, wavy brunette hair down. She generally wore a scarf, purely for fashion purposes.
“Everyone ready?”, Katie Smith, the team leader, asked. The team nodded. They all walked through the ARC corridor quickly, and to the cars. The anomaly was in a hotel…
The nearby hotel was packed. Several people were trying to sign in, and get their keys. Others were trying to sign out so they could leave. The phone line was busy aswell with people trying to book for the holidays.
“Everyone, please wait”, the receptionist shouted. She closed the desk, and she walked upstairs to fetch assistance, as despite her ringing the bell several times, no-one came. She walked into the staff room. It was empty.
“Oh”, the receptionist said. She decided to get herself a drink and wait a few minutes to see if anyone came in. She heard a sound behind her. On top of the table was a light, with what looked like shards of glass floating around it. She was confused by it. She’d never seen anything like it. But before she knew it, she was fighting for her life as a massive creature came through the light…
Leila Samuels had arranged a meeting with a journalist at her house. She made sure she had her photos of the creatures from the park ready. She heard the doorbell go. She got up and opened the door.
“Looks like you may have your work cut out for you Lucie”, Sasha told Lucie when they arrived. The hotel was so busy. The team parked the car, and walked to the reception desk. Katie saw a megaphone behind the desk and picked it up.
“Right everyone! Could we please try and be quiet! I’m going to pass over to my colleague and she will explain why we’re here”, Katie shouted before passing the megaphone to Lucie.
“Thanks. Right everyone, we’re from the government and we’ve been called in because of an emergency. Could everyone please make their way out in an orderly way. Thank you”, Lucie continued from Katie. The guests all shuffled outside, with Jimmy, Georgia and Mike agreeing to keep an eye on them. Sasha, Katie and Alex would then deal with any creature incursion, and Lucie would sort out the people side of things.
“So, what exactly did you see?”, the journalist asked Leila.
“It was hard to see some things, considering there was a massive crowd and this was broad daylight. I managed to get these photos”, Leila handed the journalist the photos.
“And what exactly is that?”, he asked, pointing to the Raptor.
“I’ve done some research, and it appears to be a Dromeosaurus from the Creatceous period”, Leila explained.
“But that’s impossible?!”, the journalist was shocked, “And who is she, the ginger haired woman?”.
“The other people called her Katie, but I’m unsure on the surname”
“Thanks very much. Is it OK if we publish these in tomorrow’s newspaper?”
“Course you can”, Leila finished the interview there. She smiled after showing the journalist to the door. She knew this would be big, and it was her who uncovered it all. Now all she had to do was to track down the woman. She went and sat at her computer, and opened her internet browser…
Katie, Alex, Sasha and Lucie heard a scream from above. They ran up the stairs. The screams were loud. They ran round the rooms on the first floor. Lucie opened a door, and saw that a rather large creature was in there, along with a woman and an anomaly. She told the team, and she ran to the woman.
”Hello, I’m Lucie, just keep calm, I’m gonna get you out”, Lucie reassured the receptionist.
“I’m Lisa. Thanks. I was only trying to get someone to help at reception”, Lisa explained.
Katie, Alex and Sasha stood at the door, loading their tranquillisers.
“What is it, Alex?”, Katie asked,
“It’s a Therizinosaurus. It shouldn’t cause any harm, as it’s a herbivore, but it might be getting slightly distressed”, Alex explained.
“And where’s the anomaly to?”, Sasha enquired.
“If I remember correctly, it’s to the late Cretaceous era”, Alex told her.
“Right. Now we need to get in there, and get the woman to be quiet”, Katie said, then made some gestures to Lucie. The Therizinosaurus was large in height, and was bending down seriously, swooping around the large staff room. The noise was too much for it. Lucie spoke to Lisa.
”Right, you need to be quiet. This creature is harmless, but we’re making too much noise for it”, Lucie whispered. Lisa nodded. After a minute of silence, the creature stayed still. Katie, Alex and Sasha now needed to get it back through the anomaly…
Mike, Jimmy and Georgia were holding back the hotel guests. They were complaining of anything that you could imagine. Some were moaning about their luggage being inside, some needed the toilet, others were hungry. Georgia spoke into the megaphone.
”Everyone, silence please. We’re making the building safe for you, so you can go back in. We’ll be done within half an hour, don’t you worry”.
Leila was on Facebook. She typed the name Katie into the search bar. First of all, she checked her mutual friends. As they both lived in the same area, there was always the possibility of mutual friends. But there was no-one called Katie that matched the image. She then narrowed down the location to Lincoln. She saw Katie Smith there, and Leila clicked on her page. Her profile image matched the picture Leila had. Leila then looked through Katie’s friend list to find matches for the other people. After about an hour of making sure she was absolutely correct, she came up with 7 people - Katie Smith, Alex Johnston, Sasha West, Georgia Stevens, Michael Andrews, James Turner and Lucie Campbell. All shared the same workplace and location - the ARC…
Katie, Alex and Sasha moved round the back of the Therizinosaurus. They decided that if they managed to nudge it, it would get the hint and it’d go back through. It looked quite like a bird, but had no wings. It had claws, and of course was quite big. Katie hit it. The other two joined in. The Therizinosaurus started to move, but not to the anomaly! In it’s bent-over form, it moved to Lucie and Lisa. They decided to hit it back, so it could then get the gist and go back through. It worked. They ended up leaving it no option but to return. Alex then set up the Anomaly Locker, and locked the anomaly.
On the way down outside, Lucie briefed Lisa on what she can and cannot say to others. The guests were allowed back in, and Lisa was allowed to go home to rest and recover from her shock. The team returned to the ARC, and Lucie continued her meeting with Ben Taunton. She explained to him about the day, and how she played a part in saving Lisa. Ben decided that she should have a promotion to being a full team member. He was feeling unusually nice. Despite that, she still had to deal with PR aswell. Lucie was chuffed and she went to tell the team. They congratulated her.
DING DING! DING DING! DING DING!
“Sorry Ben, I must go”, Lucie interrupted.
“If you must”, Ben sighed. Lucie ran out of Ben’s office and down the ramp to the rest of the team.
