Harding is the sixth chapter in the Second Configuration. After receiving a call from Thorne, Harding agrees to join the men to their search for Levine.
Plot[]
While studying the pack behavior of hyenas in Africa, Sarah Harding receives a call from Doc Thorne. Thorne, concerned, asks her if Levine ever told her what he was studying. She states that he did not and Thorne replies that Levine has gone missing and is in trouble. He goes on to tell her that they, that is Thorne and Ian Malcolm have managed to locate him on an island off the coast of Costa Rica and are leaving immediately to find him. Thorne asks if she wants to come along and Sarah replies that it would take nearly a day to get there, if she was lucky. Thorne gives her the information on where they are going, and tells her it's her own choice if she wants to go before hanging up. After watching the hyenas for a few more moments and knowing her life and work is in Africa, she tells her assistant Makena to take her back to town as she needs to pack and catch a flight.
Trivia[]
The behavior of hyenas in this chapter is somewhat reflective of the raptor attacks later in the novel.
