World of dragons part 3

Scott woke up drenched in sweat. "It was really weird." He said to his cat after explaining the dream to her. "Meow?" Said the cat. "Good talk Lily." He said rolling over ,and going back to sleep. Days went by. Scott stopped having nightmares ,and coincidentally stopped talking to his cat. More days pasted ,and to be honest Scott forget about the trip until  he got a phone call from Dr. Martin  reminding him of its existence. "Yeah Doc I remembered. Yes I have a bag packed. Thank you for the thought. Bye." Scott hung up. "Oh crap." He said turning around. "I need to make a master list of what to go in the pack. T-shirts, shorts, a wool jacket ,and a pair of wool pants. Since I don't know what the weather is like. Then I need a pocket knife ,and gun. For protection. Then since we are making a documentary a video camera ,and finally a first aid kit. All in a heavy duty backpack." Scott thought this list in his head ,and found all the items put it his backpack. Then flopped on his bed and passed out. Scott woke up the next morning to the annoying sound of the alarm clock ,but just as he was about to turn over and go back to sleep he remembered where he had to be. All of a sudden he was wide awake ,and full of energy. So full of energy in fact he was dressed ,grabbed breakfast and his backpack  ,and was out the door in ten seconds flat. When he got to the airport though he was disappointed to find not a lush airplane ,but a dinky helicopter big enough to hold five people. He was even more disappointed to see Dr.Martin come out of the helicopter confirming it was where he needed to go. "Ah Scott" said Dr. Martin. "I'm glad you could come. These are your co-workers." he said waving a hand at two people behind him. He pointed at one " This is Abigail Sobe she is a photographer, and has made several documentaries." "And she" he said taking a long breath and pointing at the other person at the same time. "She is Sophie Owlen, she wrote a thesis on dragons and their myths. Sophie, Abigail" He said turning his attention to them. "This is Scott Terrace. He's a explorer who I have chosen to be our guide." Scott decided to speak now. "You know Doctor I have never been to this place. I don't know how much help I'll be." "I know Scott" said Dr. Martin "I chose you because you would have best chance of getting us through alive. Well now that introductions are over does anybody have questions?" Everybody raised a hand "Didn't think so he said now lets begin." Dr. Martin turned to talk to the pilot, and while he did this Scott looked at the others, and while he looked he noticed that Abigail looked very excited to be here. While Sophie looked nervous like she didn't want to be here. Scott was just about to ask why she was here when Dr. Martin came out of the helicopter, and said "All right lets get going." The ride in the helicopter was long and quiet, but finally Dr. Martin spoke up and said "I'm want you to know that we are almost over the crevice, and since it is a big crevice I plan to parachute right to the bottom." Scott and Abigail nodded their acknowledgements, but Sophie said what we can't do that I'm afraid of heights! Dr. Martin seemed to be thinking about this when suddenly a giant fireball came flying out of the crevice somebody screamed, and then they were falling.
