They finally came to a door. The Hippie and the Big Man looked nervously at each other.

"Should we open the door?" asked Teela.

"Sure, let's get out of here," answered Ebo.

Ebo pushed the door open and they found themselves in an alley. A giant limosine waited in the alley. It was empty.

The Big Man smiled and pulled some car keys from his pocket.

"Hey, that's your car?" asked Teela. "Wow, let's go for a ride!"

So, they all piled into the back of the limo, and the Big Man got behind the wheel and they drove away.

"Hey...um..Big Guy," ebo referred to him as this because he hadn't told his name yet, "Can we go here?" she handed him the slip of paper with Tash's adress on it.

The Big Guy nodded.

Teela opened the sun roof, "I saw this in a TV show once." She stood out the sunroof and started shreiking and lauging. Omunious music began playing. A low hanging over pass loomed in the distance.

Ebo yanked her down. "I saw that too. It was the begening of an episode of six feet under."

The limo stopped in front of a large house. There was a large, well manicured lawn. And the long drivwway was lined with huge trees. There was a pond out back with a large yaht floating in it. The yaht was to big for the pond, and couldn't go anywhere, it was a plaything of the rich.

They started up the drivway, parked, and knocked on the door.

A butler arived at the door and looked down his nose at them.

"yes?"

Ebo spoke up, "We're, uh, looking for Succatash?"

The butler said: "Oh. Well, I'm Succatash. And you are..."

"I'm Ebonezer. That's Teela Brown. He's the Hippie. And the big one is...well, we don't know his name, we just call him Big Guy."

"Why'd you come?"

"I got a letter full of...some white powder from you. Could you explain?"

"Sure, step inside, won't you?"

"So, why again did you send my the powder?"

"Ebo, he told you three times! Tash, so sorry, but could you say it just one more time?"

"Alright, last time." but Tash beamed that so many people were paying him some attention. "Back in '02..."

"wait!" ebo called out stopping him before he started, "I'm confused already...are we talking 2002 or 1902?"

Teela sighed, "does he look like he was around in 1902?"

"He could be like that guy with the picture. you know, The one that ages, but he doesn't?"

Tash groaned, "2002! Can i get on with it now?"

"Look you have a pool!" Ebo shouted, running over to a large sliding glass door looking out over the yard. She pressed her face up against it and left a big smear.

The big guy picked her up and put her in a chair and held her there.

Tash began his story, "Heres the deal. Back in 02 i was really into ecoterrorisim."

"Ecowhat?"

"Ecoterrorisim. Its when you terrorize the people who destroy wilderness, logers and people who build condos and the like. Somebody told me about this cool thing where you mix powdered clorine, like you put in a pool, and this type of hair gel. You put it togther and let it sit and in sponantouslty combusts." he noticed Ebo's confused look, "It catches on fire."

"Cool!"

"So thats what the powder was, clorine. I forgot to add the hair gel."

"wait," Teela held up her hand, "So why'd you send it to Ebo?"

"Her family owns the largest logging company in South America."

"Really?" the Big Guy asked.

Ebo nodded nonchalantly, "Yeah...i felt a little guilty about destroying all the habitats untill my inheretance cheaks started coming."

"How much?" the hippie asked.

Ebo pulled a peice of paper out of her pocket and handed it to the Hippie, "I keep losing count. Too many zeros. Can we do that thing with the hair gel? That sounds like fun."

-----------

Note- that hair gel thing really works. Supposedly anyway. I've never tried it, but i want to!

The Big Guy looks at the check. "Tzao gao!"

Teela looked at the check. "Bu ke neng! Wode tian, that's a lot! How often do you get these?"

"Oh, about once a month. But can we try the hair gel and chlorine thing?"

"Bi zui. No, we're not spontaneously combusting anything. How many of these do you have?"

"Lemme do tha math." Ebo was mumbling something. "A few dozen."

"Go-se, you're one of the richest people in the world!"

"Cool. Lets go buy some hair gel yes?"

"Have you cashed any of these?" Teela questioned.

"A few of the ones i havn't lost yeah."

"and you spent the money how?"

"Charity. Theres this kid down the street from me who needed a bike. So i bought him two really nice full suspention titanium ones. Then all the other kids wanted one and well, how could i resist?"

"Haven't you ever bought anything for yourself?"

"I bought a pie once," she thought a moment, "and a small island off the coast of mexico. And now were going to buy some hair gel right?"

OOC: Where has everybody gotten themselves off to? I guess I'll just add another part myself then...
----------------------------------

"No! No hair gel!" Teela siged.

"Whats this about a small island of the coast of Mexico?" The hippi grunted.

"Its a small island off the coast of mexico. I bought it. What don't you understand?"

"You bought it?"

She nodded, "uh-huh. It even came with a water slide."

"How did you buy an island?"

"E-bay."

"oh right..." he hippi thought a moment, "So who's up for a trip to a small island off the coast of mexico?"

"I didn't buy a boat," Ebo pointed out.

"I'll handle that," the big guy said, "My limo has full aquatic capabilities," he leaned in to Ebo and wispered, "And a fully stocked supply of hair gel."

Ebo squeeled with delight.

"So, where's the nearest port? And what's the name of the island?" Teela asked.

"Well, the nearest port is...I don't know, who's the navigator?" Ebo rumaged for a map. "Can you read this? I could never use a map."

"So, cartographer isn't your dream job."

"Car-what?"

"Never mind. Now, what's the island's name?"

"Oh, yes. It's Isla Nublar."

"Great. Just wonderful." Teela sighed and leaned back, map shading her eyes.

"Something wrong?" Ebo seemed sort of worried.

"Foolish things. Nothing much. Big Guy- drive, ma shong. Just follow the signs."

Sign: "Nearest port----20 miles."
