Digging Site

Jimmy Sommers was showing his friend: Karen Hardson how to dig a fossil bone. She was just as interested in fossil digging as he was.

"Jimmy, are you sure you know how to do this?"

"Quite certain, Karen. What we've got here is a fossil of one of those dinosaurs back on Isla Niebla."

"What is it?"

"Well, it's a Baryonyx. Neither is it a Suchomimus. Or an Allosaurus. Or a Guanlong. Or an Oviraptor."

He gasped back in surprise. It's a...it's a..."

"Yo, Jim!" called his mentor, Jospeh Wilkins, "got an Acrocanthosaurus Atokensis."

"Coming, Joe!" he called back.

"Be right back," he said to Karen and walked off.

Karen watched the fossil in surprise.

Harris and Higgins' car drove into the digging site.

They walked out. Jimmy's niece and nephew: Molly and Mike ran up to them in joy.

"Mr. Harris! Ms. Higgins!"

"Kids!" gasped Harris.

"Hey there, guys!" laughed Higgins.

And they ran into their arms.

"It's so good to see you both," said Harris.

"We're glad to see you too," said Molly.

"Yeah. Very glad," said Mike.

"Hey, is your uncle around?"

"Yeah. He's dug a new fossil of an unknown dinosaur. Not one that we saw back on the island though," said Mike

"Okay. Well, where is he?" asked Higgins.

"Come on," said Molly.

Wilkins and Sommers had taken the fossil back inside their tent to expect it. They both gasped in surprise.

"Wow!" gasped Sommers, "first we've got the Acrocanthosaurus, now we've got a..."

"Hey, Uncle Jimmy. Mr. Wilkins. Look who's here," said Mike.

Wilkins and Sommers looked outside to see Harris and Higgins coming in.

"Riley!" gasped Sommers.

"Ms. Higgins!" gasped Wilkins.

"Hey, there," they both said and shook hands with them.

"It's very good to see, Mr. Harris," laughed Wilkins.

"It's very good to see you guys too," said Harris.

"Hey, Riley," said Sommers, "we've got two new fossils that we just dug up."

"Where?" asked Harris.

"Over here," said Sommers and showed them to him.

They all looked at the fossils.

"Wow!" gasped Harris, "is that an Acrocanthosaurus Atokensis?"

"Yep," said Sommers, "and can you tell me what this is?"

Harris gasped back in amazement as he saw the other fossil.

"Why," he gasped, "it's a Giganotosaurus Carolinii."

"Yep. Looks like Norris Burns' spies had hatched two extra eggs based on these two dinosaurs."

"Which means?"

"They inhabitate on Site C."

"No way," gasped Wilkins.

"Looks like double trouble for us," said Higgins.

"You can say that again," said Harris.

They all stayed silent for a moment.

"Anyway," said Harris, "I think it's time Jenny and I would be going now. It's been nice seeing all of you."

"Bye, Mr. Harris," said the kids, waving goodbye.

"Goodbye, kids," said Harris, "and you too, guys. Jimmy. Joseph."

"Yeah, see ya, Riley. Jenny," said Wilkins and Sommers, shaking hands with them.

Harris and Higgins made it into the car and drove off.

Wilkins, Sommers, Molly and Mike watched in encouragement for them as they left.

School

'Okay, class," said Professor Victor Carson, archeology teacher at Cambridge University, "let's finish off with one more question. Fred, show our students what sort of an amazing sight they are about to see."

His assistant, Professor Fred Nicholson replied by saying "sure thing, Vic." And then the projector shone as a fossil of a Giganotosaurus popped up on the board.

"Can any of you guys tell me what this is?" said Carson.

Five students sitting in front of the class all had their hands up.

"Hmm, let's see. Bill."

Bill, one of the students with light brown hair said "um...Giganotosaurus."

"Well done, Bill. The second largest theropod dinosaur after this one. Fred."

Nicholson switched to a fossil of a Spinosaurus.

"Can anyone tell me this one?" said Carson.

A student at the back had his hand up.

"Yes, Cad."

"Um...Suchomimus."

"Err...wrong. Anyone else?"

Another one of the students at the front with blond hair had her hand up.

"Yes, Sally."

"Um...Spinosaurus."

"Good. Very good. How come it's always that I can count of one of my top five students up here. What could I do without Bill or Sally or even Dave over here," he said, looking another one of the students with black hair, sitting next to Bill. "

And of course don't forget Kevin and Laura," said Nicholson.

"Ah, yes. What could I do without those two?"

And Carson looked at the two other students sitting together, the boy with dark brown hair and the redhead sitting right next to him.

They all laughed.

Then the school bell rang.

"Okay, kids. Class over. Hope all of you have a good spring break. See you the week after," said Carson.

And he and Nicholson left the classroom after all the students.

Kids

After school, Bill, Dave, Sally, Kevin and Laura all met up by the water fountain where they always met up after school hours. The three boys looked very hardcore and wore T-Shirts and shorts. The two girls both wore blouses and mini-skirts. All five of them were also wore Converse All Star shoes.

Dave spoke up.

"So Bill, have you made arrangements with your parents yet for our trip to Isla Sorna?"

"Quite necessary, Dave," said Bill, "both of them are very well connected with Bellows & Lipston Construction Limited."

"Don't you mean Bellows Industries, Bill?" asked Sally, trying to correct her own boyfriend.

"What? Nah. Doesn't go by that name anymore? Not since the latest incident at Isla Sorna. Ever since Jack Lipston was able to impale a Ceratosaurus with one spear, Al credited him as co-founder of the company, making it like it is today. My dad knows old Al better then anyone else. He's chartering a plane to fly us over to the island.

"Wow, that's interesting," said Dave in amazement.

"You don't recommend we'll see anything dangerous over there," asked Kevin nervously.

"What? Of course not," said Bill, "the survivors of the Site B incident sorted that out already. The biggest carnivores on earth are extinct. The chances that we'll see anything besides the herbivore population along the coast are slim to none."

Kevin sighed in relief. Laura put his arm around him to make him feel better which he did.

"So when do we leave, Bill?" asked Sally.

"Tomorrow, of course," he replied, "now we can go over to Al's place and get the everything sorted out for our trip. Come on. Let's go."

And the five of them took off for the construction company.
