Thanks for the reviews! Here's the second chapter!

So that's how I first got to the ARC and met Matt, Connor and Abby. Via the boot of my mother's car! I was finally in the ARC and in about 15 minutes I had found out more about my father than I had ever known in my life. And I was about to find out how dangerous his line of work was.

Connor and Abby walked off down one of the corridors as Jess sat down in front of the AD. "Come with me," Matt said. "I've got something to show you." He walked down one of the corridors; the one Abby and Connor had just gone down. Suddenly there was a loud buzzing noise and the lights started to flash red. Matt spun round and ran past Hilary. "Of all the days!" Hilary ran after Matt.

Jess was typing quickly on the keyboard as Matt ran up with Hilary behind her. "Co-ordinates?" Matt asked.

"What's going on?" Hilary asked as Connor and Abby ran back into the room.

"The AD's detected an anomaly," Connor explained while Jess and Matt discussed co-ordinates and plans. Matt stood up straight.

"Connor, Abby let's go," Matt ordered.

"What about me?" Hilary asked.

"Stay here with your mother," Abby answered. "It'll be safer."

"Safer?" Hilary repeated. "I don't care if it's safer. I want to help."

"You can help from here," Matt sighed.

"I finally find out what my father's job was and then I have to stay here?" Hilary argued. "Isn't it time I did something that would make him proud. If you're worried about me being hurt, then don't be. If my father could do it, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to. Everyone's always telling me how much like him I am." Hilary turned to Matt. "You said so yourself this morning. It's only for a day." Everyone turned to look at Jess.

"I don't think," Jess was cut off by Hilary.

"Please mum?" Hilary begged. "I'll listen to everything Matt says."

"Fine," Jess turned to Matt. "But if anything happens to him, you'd be the one in trouble."

"I'll make sure he's safe," Matt promised before turning to Connor. "Get him a EMD."

"What! He's 14!" Connor protested. "You've only just started to trust me with one!"

"Just get him one Connor!" Matt ordered.

"Fine," Connor agreed as he ran off.

"We'll meet you by the trucks," Matt called as he led Hilary and Abby into the elevator. "You better do as I say or your mother will have my head!" Matt told Hilary.

"If I have to," Hilary sighed.

Five minutes later, Matt, Connor, Abby and Hilary were stood outside a supermarket. "Jess, have you got the CCTV up?" Matt asked.

"Yes Matt, and it looks like there's a sign of an incursion," Jess answered.

"Any idea which dinosaur?" Matt questioned.

"No idea, when I find out I'll tell you," Jess replied. "The anomaly's in the basement by the way."

"Ok, Abby and Connor go and shut the anomaly," Matt ordered. "Myself and Hilary will try to find the creature."

"Let's go," Matt nodded. "Follow me Hilary and don't get lost!"

Matt and Hilary ended up wandering around for about 30 minutes before anything exciting actually happened. They were now on the 4th floor. Matt decided that there was nothing on the 4th floor. "Try the next floor now." They were about to go up the escalator when Hilary heard a low growling noise. He spun round to come face to face with three cross looking Raptors. Hilary glanced behind him to see Matt at the top of the stairs, still unaware of the raptors below. Hilary knew he couldn't shut as the raptors would definitely attack him then so he held his EMD up ready to shoot. Before Hilary had a chance to do anything, the biggest raptor knocked the EMD out of his hand. It landed about 10 meters from the stairs.

"Not in a good mood I see," Hilary gulped. The biggest raptor took a few steps back before leaping into the air, getting ready to sink its teeth into human flesh. Hilary shut his eyes tight ready for the bit. But instead he had a massive (but dead) dinosaur land on top of him. He sighed in relief as the other raptors ran off and Matt pulled the dead one off him. "That was a close one." Hilary smiled as he stood up.

"This isn't funny," Matt snapped. "It was going to kill you. You should have called for my help!" Hilary went to pick his EMD up.

"If I had done that, it would have killed me straight away," Hilary told Matt. "I know a lot about dinosaurs and raptors find two of a species a threat. They prefer to go for easy food instead of having to fight for it. Surely you knew that."

"You know your stuff don't you kid," Matt said.

"Yes because I'm not stupid and I'd like it if you stopped calling me kid," Hilary replied. "Now let's stop chatting. We have 2 more raptors to find."

"One actually," Abby called as she ran round the corner with Connor who was pulling a sack along with him.

"The stupid creature ran straight into us," Connor explained.

"Raptors aren't stupid. If they were stupid they wouldn't be able to catch their food to eat in the first place and then we wouldn't have to deal with them right now," Hilary corrected Connor. The raptor that Matt had shot moved slightly. "Is it waking up?"

"I think it's just moving in its sleep," Matt answered. "Anyhow I want to get this other raptor soon so we can get this shop open again."

"It's a baby raptor," Abby pointed out.

"So?" Connor asked.

"The babies rely on their parents for food and warmth," Hilary remembered.

"Which means it shouldn't be too far away," Abby finished.

"It might even be practicing its hunting skills," Connor shrugged.

"What?" Matt frowned. Connor nodded behind Matt. Matt turned round. The raptor jumped towards him. Hilary quickly pulled out his EMD and with no time to aim, he shot hoping he'd hit the dinosaur…
