Hey guys! this is my first ever fanfiction, and I really wanted to start with Jurassic Park because it's one of my most favourite franchises ever. Hopefully you'll like my first crack at this. Please feel free to comment and point out any mistakes. Thank you! :-)

Disclaimer: sadly I do not own Jurassic Park or it's characters.

"Dr. Alan Grant, the world-renowned paleontologist has been missing for over 4 weeks as of now. A search is still being conducted to find Dr. Grant by the authorities, but there is still no word on his whereabouts. Several people have speculated that this disappearance has something to do with the Jurassic World incident which occurred recently on Isla Nublar, the home of the original Jurassic Park incident. This is Kelly Malcolm reporting live..."

"Hey Sharon, could you maybe turn that down please? Thanks."

I looked at the man who had just spoken to the bar lady, and took in his features. Kinda old, probably 50 to 60 years old. Occassional smoker, frequent drinker. I noticed every little detail about him without even trying to, and in my line of work that ability came in pretty handy. I'm a Private investigator. Hired by people suspicious of other people to spy on said people for a pretty healthy sum of money. Even though this was not one of those cases I was immediately drawn to the man as I thought he had a pretty good story to tell.

"Still staring at me, are you? "

I was so surprised by the question I just kept looking at him in a daze. "Um, I'm sorry...? "

"I said, I see that you're still staring at me"

"Oh, yeah. So sorry, I really didn't mean to impose. I'll let you get back to your drink. Again, I'm really really sorry for bothering you". I quickly apologized.

"No harm done kid". He replied with a smile. "Being a bloody Jurassic Park survivor really boosts your status to be less of a starer and more of a staree". He continued.

"Wait, you were a survivor of the Jurassic Park incident". I asked, really surprised.

"Oh, yeah... ". He said as he turned towards me. Only then did I notice the huge gash on his left cheek, horrifyingly illuminated by the lights on the wall behind the bar. "... And survivor of raptor attack, can't really leave that out. "

"Raptor attack?". I questioned and then it dawned on me. I vaguely remember a news report about a man rescued in costa rica 20 something years ago was actually the victim of a vicious raptor attack and was also the game warden of Jurassic Park.

"You're Robert Muldoon, aren't you? ". I questioned.

"You saw the news report, didn't you? ". He asked.

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah".

"Well, just as well I told you the story. God knows I need to get this off my chest after holding it in for almost 30 years... "

I eagerly sat listening as the conversation that would forever change my life continued.

"I'll just start at the raptor attack, shall I? Because I assume you know the whole John Hammond spared no expense and everything went to hell part. "

I nodded.

"Good, that saves me a bunch of time that I can spend drinking some more of this good stuff. Well it all started when the storm hit the island and all the systems went offline. Me and Ellie, that's Dr. Sattler to you, went off to search for Arnold after he disappeared. We went to check on him and on the way I got this really bad feeling like I was being watched or hunted. I readied my shotgun and told Ellie to run as fast as she could. I set my sights on the raptor in front of me, but I couldn't shake that feeling. The fact that raptors plant a decoy in front and attack from the sides came to me a little too late. The big one was right beside me hissing, taunting me. I ain't ashamed to say that I nearly shat myself then and there. "

I nodded in sympathy. This man had survived a point blank raptor attack, I had nothing but respect for him at that moment. "Please , keep going"

He took a big swig out of his glass and set it down. "Well, I pointed my shotgun at her ugly mug, but before I took the shot the bitch jumped on me and started scraching and biting everything. I'm glad that I had the sense to hold on to the shotgun that whole time. The bastard got up and readied her bloody claw to get my eye, and she got it, or rather I gave it to her because I needed a distraction. Damn, that hurt like hell". He said chuckling. "But it was for the best because just as she got her claw in I pumped my shotgun, laid the butt on the ground and let loose a shot right on her leg, she got thrown off but kept crawling on the ground to get to me like a demon possessed, I kept on pushing myself back with my left hand as I pumped the shotgun for one more shot. The POS kept on coming and right as the bastard opened her mouth and raised her arm I shot her right in between the eyes. After that I just took a nap there. I didn't care whether a dino came and bit me in two, because right then I just wanted to rest".

"What happened next? " I asked eagerly.

"Well when I came to, I saw the chopper leaving the island, Hammond was leaving me for dead. Well, I wasn't going down without a fight now was I?So, I got to my feet, pumped my shotgun and got to walking to the visitor center to look for survivors. Well, I wasn't that surprised to find that there wasn't anyone there, 'cause the place was a mess. Bones everywhere, couple of dead velociraptors and blood, a lot of blood. The raptors had huge, and I mean huge teeth marks. So, I knew the rex had gotten in. But I was bloody hungry, so I went to thedining room to get a bite. The kitchen was a bloody mess. Pots, pans and ladles strewn about. Just as I started moving I heard a banging coming from the meat locker. Well, I didn't want to get hurt anymore, so I ignored it and kept moving. The sight of food was like heaven, I tucked in and after eating I started walking towards the docks, 'cause I knew there was a boat there that I could use to get to the mainland. There was a dilo on the path and I blew the bastard to kingdom come. I got to moving again and got to the docks. I was bloody surprised to see the rex right there behind the containers, having a good old nap. I kept quiet and got to the boat, started the motor and got to the mainland" I was listening attentively to every word he said.

"And then what?."

"Well, after that some Costa Rican couple found me and notified the authorities. They, admitted me to the local hospital's emergency unit and treated me, but before I could give them an honest statement Ludlow visited me and paid a nice sum of money to keep my mouth shut. So, I did just that. I recovered, came to New York and got a good job at the zoo".

"The zoo, after what you've been through? Why?"

"Well, for starters there aren't any raptors"

"Oh, yeah right". I said, chuckling nervously.

"Well, that's my story. I'll be leaving now, goodbye kid. Oh, I didn't even get you're name"

"It's Grant, Steven Grant". I replied.

"Any relative of Alan Grant? "

"Yeah, he's my dad. How'd you guess? "

He just smirked, picked up his hat and left while whistling, "it's a small world after all".

Hope you guys enjoyed my first crack at a fan fiction. Please feel free to comment any mistakes I made. Thank you again for reading. P. S - I already have a sequel in mind so if you guys want it I can get right on that. :-D
