Dropped off after a day of inspecting

The sun was just beginning to set as the jeep rolled to a stop outside a large housing complex. The door opened and Dr. Ellie Settler stepped out, taking a quick look around.

"Thanks for the ride, Dr. Harding!" she said, turning back to the jeep.

"Don't mention it," the man at the wheel said. "And please, call me Gerry. It's not often that I have such qualified assistance."

She grinned. "I hope Mr. Hammond won't be too upset that I skipped out in the middle of his tour to check out the triceratops."

Harding shrugged. "It should be fine. You're here to inspect the park after all. Speaking of which, are you sure you're ok with staying here? Once the storm starts you'll have to wait it out before you can head back to the mainland."

The botanist shook her head. "I'll be fine, besides, you said it yourself, I'm technically an inspector. It'd probably be bad taste to leave before my job's done." She turned to the building. "These are the employee cabins?"

"Yeah," Harding replied, "and that master key will get you into any of them. These cabins aren't in use yet, so just pick any of 'em."

Ellie glanced to the side, where a large fence ran nearby. "Is that enclosure in use?" she asked.

"Yep. Dilophosaurus pen. Nasty little critters, let me tell you." He glanced at his watch. "I'd better get out of here if I want to make the last boat out of here. Good luck Dr. Settler, and thanks again!"

Ellie waved as Harding drove off, and made her way to the nearest cabin. She was tired after a day of looking after the triceratops, but her enthusiasm was boundless. Dinosaurs were back. How could she not be excited? She glanced down at her self and grimaced. As usual, her excitement made her lose track of her appearance. She was a mess, her shirt and shorts were filthy, her bare, lightly tanned arms, legs, and neck were covered in dirt, and her boots were practically coated in mud. She needed a shower, badly.

Ellie slipped her keycard out of her pocket and held it out to the lock, sighing in relief as the door popped open, and stepped inside. Not a bad place, she thought as she looked around. Simple but functional. She kicked the door shut behind her, and tossed the key onto the nearby table, trying to figure out what to do next.
