Chapter 4
"We need to get the wound cleaned and an IV in him now!" an elderly man in a long white coat shouted as Nick was rushed into the medical bay. His name was Doctor Mason Hillard, the ARC's head medic. He had worked at the ARC since March 2013, and had delivered Nick and Sarah during a rescue mission in the Pliocene. He had originally applied for the position of Queen Elizabeth's doctor in 2001, but failed, he then worked as a field medic for twelve years before joining the ARC.
"Should I go get Connor and Abby?" Sarah asked as she ran alongside Dr Hillard.
"Abby's busy in the menagerie with Mrs Mercer, and Connors working with your dad in the armoury to make some new sort of EMD" Hillard replied.
"Right, I won't be long" Sarah nodded, "Do all you can."
"Of course" Hillard smiled.
"Here little birdy" Max sighed as they walked through the bird house.
"What are we doing with the Microraptor?" Thomas asked as they scanned the tropical background.
"It's got a filed dressing on at the minute and it won't wake up for another half-an-hour , so I'll see how it is after that" Max replied, "When does the anomaly close?"
"That's the issue, it closes in thirty-five minutes" Thomas sighed.
"Why do we always cut these things so close?" Max laughed.
"I don't kn…There it is!" Thomas pointed as the brown coloured bird ran through the forest straight towards them.
"Connor!" Sarah shouted as she burst into the armoury.
"Sarah what is going on?" Becker asked as he placed what looked like the remains of an EMD pistol back onto the centre table.
"Sorry Dad" Sarah gasped as she recomposed herself, "Nicks been bitten by a Sino…Sino… a big brown bird with poison teeth!"
"Sinornithosaurus" Connor said putting the EMD part he had been working on before he and Sarah ran back to the medical bay.
"These two are our oldest residents" Taylor smiled as they reached the enclosure that contained sand and rocks with and artificial water hole.
"I can't see anything" Kira pointed.
Abby whistled and threw in two pieces of fruit, "come on you two!" Just then two ratty-chipmunk-beaver type creatures appeared through the sand. They both chirped before play fighting over the slices of fruit, "Meet Sid and Nancy, our two Diictodon."
"Sid and Nancy?" Kendall asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Cutter called me and Connor, Sid and Nancy as a joke, we then gave the names to the Diictodon" Abby smiled.
"How come you named them after a joke?" Kendall asked.
"Umm…" Abby sighed, suddenly sounding sad.
"Cutter lost his life just after dealing with the anomaly that these two come through" Lester said, placing his hand on Abby's shoulder.
"I'm fine" Abby smiled weakly.
"Abby get to the medical bay ASAP- Nick's been attacked" Connor announced over the coms.
"On my way, Taylor take over!" Abby shouted as she ran out of the menagerie.
"Where's it gone?" Thomas asked as the Sinornithosaurus seemingly vanished.
"Umm…" Max replied as he scanned the area.
"Watch out!" Thomas shouted as he fired his EMD and the big bird fell to the ground.
"Good shot" Max smiled as he walked over the creature.
"Thanks" Thomas smiled, clearly proud of himself.
"Right let's get this thing back home" Max sighed as he and Thomas attempted to carry the feathery fiend.
"Connor what happened?" Abby shouted as she arrived at the medical bay.
"Nicks been poisoned by a Sinornithosaurus, luckily Max strapped his arm up to stop the poison spreading, they've sedated him and found a sample of it venom and they're in the middle of creating an anti-venom" Connor explained.
"Hey" Sarah smiled as he entered the medical bay carrying two plastic cups. She handed one to Connor and the other to Abby, "Any news?"
"They're creating the anti-venom now, he's stable" Connor replied.
Through the glass window they saw Dr Hillard walk up to Nick and inject him with liquid, probably the anti-venom. He checked the monitor, and then he walked slowly out of the room.
Hope you've been able to keep up, the next chapter isn't as bad.
