    ;Right�察─�James said�察�lowering his hand。 ;Fine�察�sure。; He opened the envelope�察�began pulling out sheets and photos�察�handing them across the table to Dodgson as he talked。
    ;Alan Grant�此�paleontologist at Montana State。 At the moment he's on leave of absence and is now in Paris�察�lecturing on the latest dinosaur finds。 Apparently he has some new ideas about tyrannosaurs being scavengers�察�and ´ ;
    ;Never mind�察─�Dodgson said。 ;Go on。;
    ;Ellen Sattler Reiman�察─�James said�察�pushing across a photo。 ;Botanist�察�used to be involved with Grant。 Now married to a physicist at Berkeley and has a young son and daughter。 She lectures half´time at the University。 Spends the rest of her time at home�察�because ´ ;
    ;Go on�察�go on。;
    ;Well。 Most of the rest are deceased。 Donald Gennaro�察�lawyer。。。died of dysentery on a business trip。 Dennis Nedry�察�Integrated puter Systems。。。also deceased。 John Hammond�察�who started International Genetic Technologies。。。died while visiting the pany's research facility in Costa Rica。 Hammond had his grandchildren with him at the time�察�the kids live with their mother back east and ´ ;
    ;Anybody contact them�拭�Anybody from InGen�拭�
    ;No�察�no contact。 The boy's started college and the girl is in prep school。 And InGen filed for Chapter 11 protection after Hammond died。 It's been in the courts ever since。 The hard assets are finally being sold off。 During the last two weeks�察�as a matter of fact。;
    Baselton spoke for the first time。 ;Is Site B involved in that sale�拭�
    James looked blank。 ;Site B�拭�
    ;Yes。 Has anybody talked to you about Site B�拭�
    ;No�察�I've never heard of it before。 What is it�拭�
    ;If you hear anything about Site B�察─�Baselton said�察 �we want to know。;
    Sitting beside Baselton in the booth�察�Dodgson thumbed through the pictures and data sheets�察�then tossed them aside impatiently。 He looked up at James。 ;What else have you got�拭�
    ;That's all�察�Dr。 Dodgson。;
    ;That's all�拭─�Dodgson said。 ;What about Malcolm�拭�And what about Levine�拭�Are they still friends�拭�
    James consulted his notes。 ;I'm not sure。;
    Baselton frowned。 ;Not sure�拭─�he said。 ;What do you mean�察�you're not sure�拭�
    ;Malcolm met Levine at the Santa Fe Institute�察─�James said。 ;They spent time together there�察�a couple of years ago。 But Malcolm hasn't gone back to Santa Fe recently。 He's taken a visiting lectureship at Berkeley in the biology department。 He teaches mathematical models of evolution。 And he seems to have lost contact with Levine。;
    ;They have a falling out�拭�
    ;Maybe。 I was told they argued about Levine's expedition。;
    ;What expedition�拭─�Dodgson said�察�leaning forward。
    ;Levine's been planning some kind of expedition for a year or so He's ordered special vehicles from a pany called Mobile Field Systems。 It's a small operation in Woodside�察�run by a guy named Jack Thorne。 Thorne outfits Jeeps and trucks for scientists doing field research。 Scientists in Africa and Sichuan and Chile all swear by them。;
    ;Malcolm knows about this expedition�拭�
    ;He Must。 He's gone to Thorne's place�察�occasionally。 Every month or so。 And of course Levine's been going there almost every day�察�That's how he got thrown in jail。;
    ;Thrown in jail�拭─�Baselton said。
    ;Yeah�察─�James said�察�glancing at his notes。 ;Let's see。 February tenth�察�Levine was arrested for driving a hundred and twenty in a fifteen zone。 Right in front of Woodside Junior High。 The judge impounded his Ferrari�察�yanked his license�察�and gave him munity service。 Basically ordered him to teach a class at the school。;
    Baselton smiled。 ;Richard Levine teaching junior high。 I'd love to see that。;
    ;He's been pretty conscientious。 Of course he's spending time in Woodside�察�anyway�察�with Thorne。 That is�察�until he left the country。;
    ;When did he leave the country�拭─�Dodgson said。
    ;Two days ago。 He went to Costa Rica。 Short trip�察�he was due back early this morning。;
    And where is he now�拭�
    ;I don't know。 And I'm afraid�察�uh�察�it's going to be hard to find out。;
    ;Why is that�拭�
     James hesitated�察�coughed�察 �Because he was on the passenger manifest of the flight from Costa Rica ´ but he wasn't on the plane when it landed。 My contact in Costa Rica says he checked out of his hotel in San Jos└ before the flight�察�and never went back。 Didn't take any other flight out of the city。 So�察�uh�察�for the moment�察�I'm afraid that Richard Levine has disappeared。;

There was a long silence。 Dodgson sat back in the booth�察�hissing between his teeth。 He looked at Baselton�察�who shook his head。 Dodgson very carefully picked up all the sheets of paper�察�tapped them on the table�察�making a neat stack。 He slipped them back into the manila envelope�察�and handed the envelope to James。
    ;Now listen�察�you stupid son of a bitch�察─�Dodgson said。 ;There's only one thing I want from you now。 It's very simple。 Are you listening�拭�
    James swallowed。 ;I'm listening。;
    Dodgson leaned across the table。 ;Find him�察─�he said。

Berkeley

In his cluttered Office�察�Malcolm looked up from his desk as his assistant�察�Beverly�察�came into the room。 She was followed by a man from DHL�察�carrying a small box。
    ;I'm sorry to disturb you�察�Dr。 Malcolm�察�but you have to sign these forms。。。。It's that sample from Costa Rica。;
    Malcolm stood�察�and walked around the desk。 He didn't use his cane。 In recent weeks�察�he had been working steadily to walk without the cane。 He still had occasional pain in his leg�察�but he was determined to make progress。 Even his physical therapist�察�a perpetually cheery woman named Cindy�察�had mented on it。 ;Gee�察�after all these years�察�suddenly you're motivated�察�Dr。 Malcolm�察─�she had said。 ;What's going on�拭�
    
    ;Oh�察�you know�察─�Malcolm had said to her。 ;Can't rely on a cane forever。   
    The truth was rather different。 Confronted by Levine's relentless enthusiasm for the lost´world hypothesis�察�his excited telephone calls at all hours of the day and night�察�Malcolm had begun to reconsider his own views。 And he had e to believe that it was quite possible ´ even probable ´that extinct animals existed in a remote�察�previously unsuspected location。 Malcolm had his own reasons for thinking so�察�which he had only hinted at to Levine。
    But the possibility of another island location was what led him to walk unaided。 He wanted to prepare for a future visit to this island。 And so he had begun to make the effort�察�day after day。
    He and Levine had narrowed their search down to a string of islands along the Costa Rican coast�察�and Levine was as always very intense in his excitement。 But to Malcolm it remained hypothetical。
    He refused to get excited until there was hard evidence ´ photographs�察�or actual tissue samples ´ to demonstrate the existence of new animals。 And so far�察�Malcolm had seen nothing at all。 He was not sure whether he was disappointed or relieved。
    But in any case�察�Levine's sample had arrived。

Malcolm took the clipboard from the delivery man and quickly signed the top form�此 �Delivery of Excluded Materials / Samples�此�Biological Research。;
    The delivery man said�察 �You have to check the boxes�察�sir。; 
    Malcolm looked at the list of questions running down the page�察�with a check box beside each。 Was the specimen alive。 Was the specimen cultures of bacteria�察�fungi�察�viruses�察�or protozoa。 Was the specimen registered tinder an established research protocol。 Was the specimen contagious。 Was the specimen taken from a farm or animal´husbandry site。 Was the specimen plant matter�察�propagative seeds�察�or bulbs。 Was the specimen insect or insect´related。。。。
    He checked off ;No' to everything。
    ;And the next page�察�too�察�sir�察─�the delivery man said。 He was looking around the office�察�at the stacks of papers heaped untidily about�察�the maps on the walls with the colored pins stuck in them。 ;You do medical research here�拭�
    Malcolm flipped the page�察�scrawled his signature on the next form。
    ;No。;
    ;And one more�察�sir。。。;
    The third form was a release of liability to the carrier。 Malcolm signed it as well。 The delivery man said�察 �Have a good day�察─�and left。
    Immediately Malcolm sagged�察�resting his weight on the edge of the desk。 He winced。
    ;Still hurt�拭─�Beverly said。 She took the specimen to the side table�察�pushed some papers away�察�and began to unwrap it。
    ;I'm okay。; He looked over at the cane�察�resting beside his chair behind the desk。 Then he took a breath�察�and crossed the room�察�slowly。
    Beverly had the wrapping off the package�察�revealing a small stainless´steel cylinder the size of his fist。 A triple´bladed biohazard sign was taped across the screwtop lid。 Attached to the cylinder was a second small canister with a metal valve�察�it contained the refrigerant gas。
    Malcolm swung the light over the cylinder�察�and said�察 �Let's see what be was so excited about。; He broke the taped seal and unscrewed the lid。 There was a hiss of gas�察�and a faint white puff of condensation。 The exterior of the cylinder frosted over。
    Peering in�察�he saw a plastic baggie�察�and a sheet of paper。 He up´ended the cylinder�察�dumping the contents onto the table。 The baggie contained a ragged piece of greenish flesh about two inches square�察�with a small green plastic tag attached to it。 He held it up to the light�察�examined it with a magnifying glass�察�then set it down again。 He looked at the green skin�察�the pebbled texture。
    Maybe�察�he thought。
    Maybe。。。
    ;Beverly�察─�he said�察 �call Elizabeth Gelman�察�over at the zoo。 Tell her I have something I want her to look at。 And tell her it's confidential。;
    Beverly nodded�察�and went out of the room to phone。 Alone�察�Malcolm unrolled the strip of paper that had e with the sample。 It was a piece of paper torn from a yellow legal pad。 In block printing�察�it said��

I WAS RIGHT AND YOU WERE WRONG。

    Malcolm frowned。 That son of a bitch�察�he thought。 ;Beverly�拭�After you call Elizabeth�察�get Richard Levine at his office。 I need to talk to him right away。;

The Lost World

Richard Levine pressed his face to the warm rock cliff�察�and paused to catch his breath。 Five hundred feet below�察�the ocean surged�察�waves thundering brilliant white against the black rocks。 The boat that had brought him was already heading east again�察�a small white speck on the horizon。 It had to return�察�for there was no safe harbor anywhere on this desolate�察�inhospitable island。
    For now�察�they were on their own。
    Levine took a deep breath�察�and looked down at Diego�察�twenty feet below him on the cliff face。 Diego was burdened with the backpack that contained all their equipment�察�but he was young and strong。 He smiled cheerfully�察�and nodded his head upward。 ;Have courage。 It is not far now�察�se��or。
    ;I hope so�察─�Levine said。 When he had examined the cliff through binoculars from the boat�察�this had seemed like a good place to make the ascent。 But in fact�察�the cliff face was nearly vertical�察�and incredibly dangerous because the volcanic rock was crumbling and friable。
    Levine raised his arms�察�fingers extending upward�察�reaching for the next handhold。 He clung to the rock�察�small pebbles broke free and his hand slipped down。 He gripped again�察�then pulled himself upward。 He was breathing hard�察�from exertion and fear。
    ;Just twenty meters more�察�se��or�察─�Diego said encouragingly。 ;You ca
