It's a bad day when your T-Rex is missing.

There had been a perimeter breach at the Dinosaur Preserve.  All the dinosaurs were dead, but I couldn't account for the T-Rex.  So, like the good Dinokeeper and citizen that I am, I went looking for the T-Rex.  In my Prius.

I drove along the road that edged a grassy field until I reached a tall iron gate that surrounded the preserve.  The gate was locked, but I could see the trampled fence a few hundred yards away in the middle of the field.  I didn't want to off-road in my red Prius, so I decided to park it and walk to the white rental Prius that was waiting a mile or so down the road. 

I drove the white Prius to the same spot, but needed to back down the road some to find a good spot to enter the field.  I glance in the rear-view and see a cop behind me.  I know that he is not going to understand that there's possibly a T-Rex on the loose and I need to off-road in this rental car to find him.

Fin.
