The Creature Below Page #2

It was an egg before.

It got lodged in the suit.

I didn't know what it was.

Still don't.

- It's a separate part

of sorts.

It's old.

Really old, almost pre-historic.

We found it so deep I'm

surprised it survived up here.

Look at that.

It does look ill.

- What do you mean?

- It's coloration's

faded, that's not good.

It's a pretty thing.

- Stop!

- You alright?

- I'm fine.

- Have you seen a doctor

since we got back?

- I don't need to.

- Can you remember a

bit what happened to you

down there yet?

- No.

But I'm fine.

- Have you told Matt?

- He'd only worry.

- I'll laugh.

- If you wanna help,

tell me if that's a new species.

- It won't be new.

The ocean's more ancient

than the mountains.

- Is it a new find?

- I don't know.

I can't be sure here.

You need to bring it to the lab.

- I don't work there anymore.

- And Dr. Fletcher cannot

find out about this.

Promise me.

- You have been under

a lot of stress, olive.

You need to get some rest.

- Promise me.

This is between us.

- I promise.

- How was work?

- Worse than ever.

I could deal with his

crap when we were at sea.

I have the ocean for company.

I'm off to the locals

tonight to see if I can

get the wall swaying again.

The grogs better than what

we had on the boat at least.

You and Matt should come down.

- Maybe.

- Is everything alright

with you and him?

- Five months is a long time.

- He's a good guy.

I imagine he's a good listener.

- Thanks for

coming down, dara.

- That thing,

whatever it is,

you need to find

out what it eats.

It's malnourished.

And if you really want

to categorize this,

come by the weekend.

You can have my pass.

No one will know.

- Thanks.

You've got to eat something.

Ellena.

- If you don't want

me to borrow his bike

he shouldn't of

left the keys in it.

- You could've been arrested.

- The Cambodia police

aren't as uptight as here.

- She's a wild one your sister.

Your turn.

Aw, she's a cheat, that's the

second time you've had me.

- Skilled.

See?

Now.

- Oh no.

No, no.

- Oh yes.

I think so.

- It's a gift.

- A gift, don't be impolite.

- You are a bad influence.

- No she's good for you.

If I smell like a press.

What's this?

- You've trained him well.

You gonna marry him then?

- We're not like that.

Ellie.

- Still.

He's hot though.

Mamma always said

you had a good eye.

- I miss her.

- Me too.

Matty!

Hurry up!

My sister needs a drink.

- Can you hear that?

- Are you okay?

- I'm bleeding.

- Yeah, let me help.

Here, help me.

- Hello?

- What have

you got in your basement?

- Fletcher.

- You took

something from my dive.

That research belongs to me,

you are in serious

sh*t little girl.
