Endless waiting
While they waited for the results, the hours dragged on like endless days. Each tick of the clock echoed louder through the small, dimly lit waiting room. Sarah clung to Jane and kept glancing at the door and the clock, while Tom paced restlessly and looked anxiously at his own watch. “What’s taking so long?” he mumbled. Jane tried to reassure him, but her own worry was palpable. The tense anticipation weighed almost oppressively on the family.

Discreet phone calls
During this time, Dr. Lewis made several discreet phone calls to paleontologists to get opinions on his unusual patient. “You won’t believe this,” he told one expert. “This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.” He skimmed over his notes and described the creature’s striking features. “I need your help,” he pleaded urgently. Each call increased his concern, but also his determination to solve the mystery. When he returned to the lab, the full responsibility weighed heavily on his shoulders.
