Plot[]
After arriving in Costa Rica, a tired and dirty Sarah Harding begins arguing with an airport customs official named Rodríguez who informs her that there are no helicopters available to fly her to Isla Sorna. Sarah notices a nearby harbor and asks if any boats are available; the airport employee says she is free to ask the captains if they will take her. On the docks, she runs into Lewis Dodgson who is guiding crewmen loading cargo onto their boat. Initially hostile, Lewis turns friendly when he realizes that she wishes to head to Isla Sorna and is a friend of Richard Levine. Dodgson passes himself off as also a friend of Levine. He tells Sarah they're heading to the island with Levine's equipment to assist him while introducing her to George Baselton and Howard King. Sarah tells Dodgson that she met Levine through their mutual friend Ian Malcolm and that Jack Thorne invited her to come along after Levine took off tor the island. Dodgson invites her to come along with them, which she accepts.
Trivia[]
