Chapter Thirty Five

Grant heard a ringing sound as he crossed the living room lanai. Surprised at first, he then realized George had left his cell phone hooked up to charge, just in case someone cranked up the generator. Curious, he answered.

“Hello George?” he heard.

“No, this is Grant Collier. George isn’t here.”

“I need to talk with him, now if possible.”

“I told you he isn’t here.”

“Do you know where he is?”

“No.”

The man sounded exasperated. “I’ve been trying to call all afternoon.”

“I just started up the generator. His battery must’ve been dead.”

“Listen Mr. Collier. This is Dr. Kaneshiro. I’m a professor at UH. This is really most important. Can you have him call me as soon as he gets in?”

“Yes, I’ll tell him.”

“This organism he sent over, do you know what it is?”

“No, none of us do,” Grant lied. He knew nothing about an organism that had been sent out. “Do you?”

“We can’t be certain, and I know it sounds crazy, but we really,” he hesitated, “we think it’s a trilobite.”

Without missing a beat Grant replied, “they’re extinct.”

“Apparently, they’re not. At least not on your island. I wouldn’t believe it if I weren’t looking right at it. But what’s worse is that it’s vicious. It attacked one of the grad students, and he had to get stitched up in the emergency room. You must warn George, and everyone else who may come in contact with it.”

“Of course.”

“And I’m sending a photo of a fossilized version of what we think it is, over the phone as soon as we hang up. Can you make sure that George sees it?

“Yes.”

“And please. Have him call me right away. We’ve got to find out more, we’ve got to do something. This is the find of the century!”

Without saying goodbye, Grant ended the call. Immediately it rang again, but, he didn’t answer. He picked up the ringing phone and walked across the inner courtyard and out the back door, across the large lawn skirting Kihei. Checking to make certain no one was around, he stepped into the well house. In the semi-darkness, he lifted the worn wooden lid, extended his hand, and dropped the phone into the deep dark waters.
