Time to get back to Dave and Perry as they find out something rather worrying about the I-Rex...
Review replay;
movielover48 - Don't worry about it, I've done it before as well.
drakin6345 - Not really, the frog DNA used to fill in the gene gasps cause mutation in the dinosaurs, causing raptors to be more larger and lack any feathers, and red eyes... more red-yellow.
Wolfdragon- Not controlled, confused. Remember Perry has human DNA, meaning she's more smarter than other raptors, but there will be something that'll make her see it as a raptor.
DragonBreeder123 - Trust me, I was on my knees when Owen did that in the cinema, LOL!
Katarina Aguilar - I know what you mean about Owen, he's like Malcolm, Grant and Muldoon in one. And about the raptor's... no promises, sorry. :(
X Raptor paddock...
By midday, most of the raptor pack were now having their routine check ups, with only Blue, Helen and Bob being the only ones still out in the paddock. As Sam focused on Charlie and Echo, Barry had his attention on Delta.
Although Owen and Dave may of been the only ones that could go in with the raptors without the risk of being eaten, both Barry and Sam were trusted enough by all the raptors to preform routine check ups, dental issues, scanning for disease and cleaning out wounds. Through it was quite hard for them both to focus with Hoskins around.
"How fast can they run?" asked Hoskins making his way to the two.
"40, 50 when they're hungry." answered Barry not liking Hoskin's sudden interest in the raptors.
And Delta defiantly didn't like Hoskins one bit, in fact all of the raptor acted aggressive around Hoskins, possibly seeing him as a threat to the pack.
"You ever opened them up? See what they can do?" questioned Hoskins causing Sam and Barry to grow a little suspicious.
"No." both Sam and Barry answered at once.
Right then, Delta choose to show her dislike, growling and rattling her head restraint, causing Hoskin's to jump back a bit. But instead of being frightened, Hoskins just laughed to joy, and to be fair, so did Sam and Barry.
"What do you think? Wanna take one home?" joked Barry getting another tool.
"Hey don't joke, when I was your age, I rescued a wolf pup." revealed Hoskin showing his share of friendship. "It was like two months old, could barely walk. Used to sleep on my bed, watch over me. My wife... she came at me with a steak knife.. took a chunk out of her arm."
"Did you put him down?" asked Sam seeing some similarities with Hoskin's story and his own son's story.
"Nah, we had a unshakable bond." admitted Hoskin feeling a bit down. "Just like Dave and Perry, you and...uh... what his name?"
"Delta." answered Barry slightly annoyed.
"And she's a girl." added Sam listening in.
"Can I ur...?" asked Hoskins again, rather oddly for him.
Reluctantly, Barry stepped back as Hoskins laid his hands on Delta's neck. Straight away, Delta hissed and growl as she thrashed about, showing how much she hated this. But despite this, Hoskins was still amazed. To him, petting a raptor is no different from petting a wolf.
"Oh wow." whispered Hoskin in shock.
But from where Sam was seeing things, it seemed Delta was getting far too agitated.
"Hey, Hoskin's. Aren't you meant to be on patrol?" asked Sam reminding him of what he should be doing.
"Um... yeah." admitted Hoskins making his way out. "See ya soon!"
"Wouldn't wanna be ya." whispered Sam as Hoskin's left. "You really think that was true?"
"About the wolf? Or the wife?" asked Barry letting Delta back into the paddock.
"Both." admitted Sam finally done with Charlie. "Unshakable bond... what he just said was nothing like Dave and Perry."
"Well yet again, wolves don't talk." reminded Barry.
"Neither do raptors." added Sam.
Just then, Sam caught sight of Dave and Perry emerging into view. To him, seeing his son acting as a true, fine adult was like a dream come true.
"Aw, there you are!" called Sam happily.
"Hey, dad!" called Dave as he and Perry made their way to the paddock gate.
Opening it up, Dave let Perry back in with the rest of her pack. While Perry was Blue's mate, she was still treated with respect from the other raptors, even if that meant having to remind them of their place.
Joyed to see his mum, Bob barked in joy as he, Perry and Blue rubbed their his head together. But Helen on the other hand, didn't seem to keen.
"What wrong. Helen?" asked Perry in sign.
"Where were you?" asked Helen showing her own intelligence.
"Helping dad." explained Perry.
"Tell me next time, please." asked Helen seeing that as a good excuse for not being around.
"Well, now that she's back here. I can get going." signed Dave in relief.
"What? Dave, you just got here!" reminded Barry.
"I know, but Claire wants me and Owen to check a new attraction." explained Dave getting his stuff together.
"New attraction?" asked Sam keen to learn about this. "What, can people finally fly pterosaurs?
"No, not yet." admitted Dave sadly. "But.. it's just... something doesn't seem right about this, new dinosaur."
"Dave, there are always new dinosaurs discovered all over the world." reminded Barry. "The sooner people find them, the sooner we create them put them on display."
"Barry right, son. It's nothing to be worried about." admitted Sam starting to check up on Echo.
But instead, Dave released Echo from her restraints, letting her back out with the others raptors. This was something that was really bothering Dave.
"They've made a genetic hybrid, dad." explained Dave catching even the raptor packs attention "One that's supposed to be bigger and better than Rexy, or at least that's what Claire's saying about this... this... Indigo... mimix... Rex? Something I-Rex?"
Upon hearing Dave trying to pronounce it, Sam's happy and joyful face turned into one of shock and grave concern. There was something he knew that Dave didn't...
"I-Rex? Indominus Rex?" asked Sam dead serious.
"Um, yeah. I think that's how-" Dave stopped himself as he realized what Sam said. "Hang on, Claire already told you?"
For what felt like ages, Sam seemed to just stare off into the distance, until he finally snapped out of his trance.
"Did Claire send you the location?" asked Sam dead serious.
"Yeah, I was just going there." answered Dave not sure how to react to his dad's sudden change in mode.
"I'm going with you." settled Sam getting his stuff together. "We'll take Perry, we're gonna need some type of protection."
"Whoa, whoa, Dad! Hang on!" called Dave as Sam let Perry out, leaving the rest of the pack confused. "We haven't even seem it yet. And your already getting all serious over some new hybrid?"
"Because that hybrid is a bloodthirsty dragon in dinosaur's clothing!" shouted Sam with shocking anger. "It shouldn't even exist."
"Hang on, dad! You can't just say-"
"She killed her own SIBLING, DAVE! I saw it!" revealed Sam shocking everyone around him, now he needed to explain. "Two years ago, I was helping out in Hammond's lab, I noticed Claire and Dr Wu talking about something. I'm not always nosy, but something didn't feel right. So I had a look to find out what it was, and I couldn't believe it... Two eggs, one already cracked open, the other not even moving. That thing inside was unlike anything dinosaur I'd seen, skin as white as snow, claws as sharp as blade, eyes as... those eyes. None of us thought it couldn't be that bad, but as soon as the other egg began to hatch, the baby smashed out and began to tear the other egg apart! Yoke, blood, shells, EVERYWHERE! We tried to stop it, but... her sibling didn't make it..."
Dave and Perry didn't know what to say, if Sam was that shocked by seeing something like that, then the I-Rex must of been as formidable as Claire said it'd be.
"I told Claire and Dr Wu that thing has to be destroyed." Sam went on. "But if she's now fully grown... then everything here is in danger."
"Dad, dinosaurs are known to be cannibalistic." reminded Dave. "Even baby sharks eat their own siblings before they're born."
"But's that's what nature designed them to do! This hybrid ISN'T!" protested Sam.
"Dad, look. I understand why you don't like this." admitted Dave. "But now that the I-Rex is older, maybe she won't be as aggressive. Let's just go, and see what she's like. And then we can talk about putting her down."
Reluctantly, Sam knew Dave may of have been on to something. Now that the I-Rex is older, it may be more calmer than Sam and seen when it hatched. In the end, he had to agree.
"Fine, I'll go get my stuff and then we can get going." agreed Sam finally. "And get Perry off your motorbike."
Turning around, Dave spotted Perry trying to drive his motorbike... again.
"How, move?" asked Perry just shaking the motorbike from side to side.
"Will you stop doing that?!" snapped Dave pushing Perry off.
Today was going to be longer than Dave hoped...
For some reason, this chapter makes me happy and disturbed at the same time. Even that quote from the trailer
"What happened to the sibling?"
"She ate it."
Worst. Sister. Ever.
Anyway, keep the reviews coming!
