Eli wasn't sure how he found himself in this predicament. He had just gone to the bakery for a few scones and a couple of cupcakes for the staff at the lab, but somehow he was now standing just outside of the bakery without having even ventured inside yet. An elderly lady stood beside him leaning on a walker as she watch him with fascinated eyes. ( Read more... )

Riley pulled the hood up over her coat as she walked down the sidewalk. There was the crunch of snow on the ground and the brisk chill in the air, but Riley loved it. It reminded her of Washington which made it feel like a little bit of home. Which was nice since the police work definitely didn't. She nodded a greeting to the passer by. It still ( Read more... )

Allison sat on the top of the park bench's back rest. It was dark, but the lamp posts along the path illuminated things well enough that you could see, though not entirely clear, perhaps.

He hoped this would be the last place the terrifying alien would come ( Read more... )

Through the darkness in the room, a low and menacing voice floated. "Eli..."

Shortly after 'working hours' began, Khan entered the Lemondrop Labs, seeking Eli. It was time for an update on progress.

Not that Khan hadn't been in the Labs working on the physical portion of his trans-warp device, but now he found he had another pursuit to take up at least some of his time.

"Hello, Eli. How goes the program?" he asked without

"I don't know...." Kyle said hesitantly. "Is it safe ( Read more... )

Eli, at first, had been entirely freaked out about the situation. He had seen Jurasic Park about 700 times and so he knew what kind of bad things can happen when you mix humans and dinosaurs. But as the time went on, things didn't seem to escalate. There was no trembling water or scary door-opening raptors so Eli decided to use this time as a good ( Read more... )

Khan had been in the village nearly a week. He had briefly scouted the location of the laboratory Chris Blake had mentioned, then made his way to the hotel and settled in to a room ( Read more... )
