Jurassic Park, day 3 ; for Klaus
Between Brazil and India, I'd spent a lot of time in hot, humid climates. I was used to rainy seasons that lasted months-- a hurricane shouldn't have been too much for me to handle. But after corralling everyone to get moving, only to have our progress halted by the storm, by the time we got on our way the next day I was ready to call it quits and sit tight until the station beamed us back.
But we'd figured out right away that we weren't in any position to do so-- this was Jurassic Park, which meant we had to stay on our toes, or risk ending up as something's lunch.
It was mid-afternoon and we'd stopped to take a break when it happened. Bert and Krista were chatting comfortably under the shade of a tall shrub, while Klaus and Regina were sitting in opposite directions a few feet away, both looking aloof and unconcerned. I stayed standing up, munching a power bar and listening. I'd had a pretty nagging dread since we'd gotten started that morning, and the longer we stayed still in one place, the worse it got.
The soft vibration traveled up through the soles of my shoes, making me shiver. I didn't even hear the thud at first, but then it happened again. A cold thread of fear wound itself around my stomach and the power bar fell from my fingers unnoticed. "Hey," I said quietly, waving my hand in a circular come on come on gesture. "Hey guys, we have to get moving." Bert and Krista paused in their conversation and looked at me quizzically, and I grabbed Krista's arm and pulled her to her feet. "We have to move, right now."

He gave Regina a look that seemed to say, you might want to get ready to teleport yourself out of harm's way, but they still had a small chance of escaping notice if they moved now.
