Sorry if this part is a little short, if I remember right, the next part is longer.


I woke up before Gena and tried to roll over to find she was laying on my arm. "Gena, wake up" I said.

She hummed.

"Gena, your crushing my arm" I stated "Actually I cant even feel my fingers"

She giggled and shifted, putting more weight on my arm.

"Okay, well if you don't get up, you'll be cleaning the chicken coup with no pay!" I threatened.

She jolted up "I'm awake!" she exclaimed.

I laughed a little as i pulled my arm out, immediately getting that pins and needles feeling. I tried to make a fist to find I had no strength in my arm. "Oh, I hate this feeling" I said.

"why?" she questioned jokingly.

I started for the bathroom to get cleaned up and ready to start the day. Along the way, I flapped my arm around, trying to regain feeling.

By the time I was all dressed, my arm was behaving normally "45 minutes till the first boat" I said to Gena "you coming with me?"

She shook her head "I'll be out before the tour, but not just yet"

I nodded and headed outside. It was a pretty nice day, probably the coldest I've seen it here and still I wanted to jump into the river. I walked along the path, there was a small crew working on a building "whats this one?" I asked the man that seemed to be in charge.

He looked to me before a smile came to his face "a bit of a supply store I guess" he said before explaining "umbrellas, sunblock, maps and a few other things like that"

I nodded and continued on my way to feed the dino-birds.

The daily tours went as planned, nothing too exciting and for todays groups I didn't have any eggs to modify, but I did give them the option to watch the video of modifying the pheasant eggs.

I convince Gena to stay another few days, days that went normal and expected, modifying three kinds of songbird. At the end of the last day of Gena's stay, my investors called me. I got set up for the video chat that the investors insist is more professional than a phone call.

"Hello Jake" said my main investor, a male husky.

I nodded a little "good evening" I replied, checking the time "I have 15 minutes to talk"

"That is plenty of time" the husky replied "We just want to update you on your profits and reviews"

I took a deep breath "hit me with it"

"Well, your still in debt, by quite a bit"he explained "however, in the week you've been open, you've made... over 330 thousand dollars"

I was shocked by that number, my eyes held wide and my jaw dropped "is that correct?" I questioned.

He shook his head "No, we aren't including food and souvenir profits"

"Holy crap" I whispered to myself, taking a moment before asking "and the reviews?"

He flicked through a file, finding a paper "Pretty positive, but they all share one complaint" He said before looking farther down the page "That there is a small number of attractions"

"I have a few ides for a few more" I said "the cassowarys, pheasants and song birds are yet to hatch and get their own enclosures, however I've an idea for a dino-duck pond in the small stream near the park, and... I think we are ready for my big idea"

"Your big idea sir?" questioned a human who was sitting near the husky.

"Well, its top secret, however I believe all of my investors deserve to know" I said, knowing it will knock their socks off. I looked up, the husky was smiling, he gave a little nod. I reached for one of my amber samples "only absolutely perfect conditions will permit this" I said "From the insect preserved in this amber, we will extract dinosaur DNA and use it to clone dinosaurs" I paused for a moment "Are you on my side?"

The group nodded.
