Chapter Nine:
Evelyn tried not to growl as she looked up to see that her Dad, Lexi and Tim were all still at the top of the fence trying to get over the top.
"You might want to speed this up a little." She called up impatiently. "It's not a good idea to stay on an electric fence for long, even if it is down." All three of them ignored her. Her Dad and Lexi were making good time, almost all the way down by now, but Tim was still struggling, having only just gotten over the top of the fence.
"Come on Tim! You can do it!" Evelyn called up to him. Just then the lights that signaled weather the fence was on or off started to blink. Evelyn stared at it in horror. "Oh my god, the fence is coming back on." She said out loud to herself.
Her Dad and Lexi jumped off and were calling up to Tim,
"You have to Jump Tim!" Her dad yelled up to him. Tim looked down at them in fright, hanging oon to the fence for dear life.
"Are you crazy?! I'm not gonna jump!" He yelled back, his voice rising to a near squeak in his fright.
"Tim, do what Dr. Grant say's!" Lexi yelled in fright, obviously knowing the danger her brother was in. Her dad stepped forward.
"Jump Tim! I'll catch you! Jump on three, one, two, three!" When he reached three they all expected Tim to jump but he didn't, seeming to only hold on tighter.
"Tim I'm coming up!" He dad said as he made to
Go back to the fence to start climbing up when the fence let out a low buzz and Tim was practically blown off the fence, right into her Dad's arms, knocking them both down to the ground.
"Timmy! Timmy!" Lexi screamed as they all scrambled to check on him. Evelyn checked for a pulse and her heart nearly stopped,
"He's not breathing." She said as she looked up to her dad, not wanting to say his heart wasn't beating in front of his sister. Her dad pushed her out of the way and started CPR. Evelyn wanted to just break down and cry like Lexi but knew she couldn't, not if she wanted to help, so she walked over to Lexi and hugged her, trying to keep her tears at bay. Suddenly Tim was gasping for air before rolling over and coughing. Evelyn let out a choked laughed, relieved that he was still alive. He was too young to die.
"Timmy!" Lexi half laughed half sobbed as she ran over and practically mauled her little brother. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" Tim coughed and hugged her back weakly,
"Let's not do that again." He muttered. Evelyn snorted and looked to her dad who looked immensely relieved.
"Okay you three, we're almost back to the compound. Let's get you back and fed and Tim can get looked over by a doctor." He said as he reached forward to help Tim up before turning his back to him and crouching down. "Up you go Tim. You need to take it easy for now." He said as Tim climbed up onto his back. Evelyn came up to him and gave his hand a quick squeeze.
"I'm glad you're alright Tim." She said with a small smile. Tim smiled back,
"Me too." He replied. Evelyn nodded and let go of his hand, taking the lead the rest of the way back.

Ethan looked around warily before stepping out of the Emergency Bunker. He wasn't going to take any chances of letting anything sneak up on him. Once he decided everything was clear, he quickly started walking towards where John had said the Garage was, constantly looking around for signs of movement and listening for even the slightest movements. He walked in silence for several minutes and was in sight of the garage when he heard movements from the bushes to his right. He turned his body, still moving in the direction of the garage, to face whatever was in the bushes. He took the gun's safety off and put his finger on the trigger. To his surprise a small dinosaur, about his height, popped its head up out of the bushes to look at him, cocking its head side to side to look at him, 'kind of like a bird.' He mused to himself as he continued to eye it warily. After he had moved several feet away from the Dino, it moved out of the bushes to follow him.
Ethan's heart rate shot up when he saw the Dinosaur start to follow him. It stopped when he did, and moved forward when he did.
"Go away!" Ethan finally hissed at it angrily, pointing the riffle at him. He didn't want to shoot a herbivore, but he wasn't entirely certain what kind of Dinosaur it was. If he had to guess, it looked a lot like a Dilophosaurus, but he didn't know how it would have gotten out of its pen and all the way to the compound, even with the fences down. "Shoo!" he said again. The Dinosaur chirped and cocked his head to the side. Ethan watched the Dinosaur warily, slowly moving backwards again. To his relief the dinosaur stayed put, just watching him as he walked away.
Ethan slowly decided that it was okay to turn his back on the dinosaur and turned around, lowering the gun so that it was pointed down somewhat. He got as far as the garage door when he heard the chirp again. Ethan frowned and turned to face the Dinosaur, raising the gun to aim at it again. He was positive by now that the Dinosaur was not an herbivore.
The Dinosaur watched him for a few seconds before hissing, a frill around his neck coming up and shaking. Ethan's eyes widened in surprise and before he knew what he was doing, he pulled the trigger of the gun three times in rapid succession, successfully killing the Dinosaur before it could attack him. Breathing heavily, Ethan lowered the gun to look at the now dead Dino in shock before glancing around. 'well, I better get a move on it, now everything in a ten mile radius knows where I am and all the carnivores that can reach me will be on their way to eat the now free meat.' He thought as he quickly pulled the garage door open, hoping to get the car and get out of there.
When his eyes adjusted to the darker room his jaw nearly fell off. He had been expecting a lot of jeeps, but not quite the amount that there were, he could see nearly one hundred vehicles. 'well,' he supposed 'it is supposed to be an amusement park, plus the vehicles needed for the park workers, so I guess you would need a lot of vehicles.' He thought as he moved over to the closest and biggest jeep. He was relieved to find that the keys were indeed in the ignition already. 'Great, now let's go pick everyone up and get off this god forsaken island.' He thought as he hopped in, started it up and slowly pulled out.

Evelyn sighed in relief as the group finally got inside the compound.
"About time." She grumbled as she followed her dad and Lexi to the dining hall. She looked around, frowning. "Where is everyone?" She asked her dad. Alan looked around briefly before turning to her,
"Probably solving the problem of the power outage." He answered. Evelyn nodded and looked around, she would have thought they would be anxiously awaiting them all. When they got to the dining hall, her dad put Tim on the table and smiled at him as he patted his hair down.
While he was talking to the two, Evelyn wandered over and grabbed a few finger foods and popped them in her mouth before heading to the door.
"I'm going to go look for the others." She told her dad. He frowned at her.
"I think you should stay here Eve. It'll be safer." He told her. Evelyn scowled.
"I would, but I really want to find Ethan. So I'm going. There are two places on the map that they could be, the power breakers, where they would have gone to turn the power on and the emergency bunker, for obvious reasons. I was thinking of checking the bunkers." After a few moments of her Dad staring intently at her he nodded slowly
"Alright then, I'll go and check around the breakers then, where are they?" He asked, she guessed that it was because she seemed to have memorized the map of the compound.
"They're just past the raptor cage." She said, watching as he winced.
"Alright, we'll split up, but please, be careful." He said as he walked out the doors. Evelyn nodded as she started to split off from him,
"You as well." She said, pausing for a moment before giving him a quick hug then running off, leaving him to stare after her in surprise.
After several minutes of walking, Evelyn was relieved to see the emergency bunker come into sight, 'and without any more problems. Talk about luck.' She thought to herself as she ran the rest of the way over to the doors. Just before she walked in though, she could hear a soft call,
"Miss. Grant!" She looked around with her eyebrows furrowed. When she didn't see anyone she chalked it up to her imagination and turned back to the door.
"Miss. Grant!" Came the call a little louder and closer this time. She spun around and just managed to see Robert Muldoon leaning on a tree and slightly covered by the foliage a way's away.
"Mr. Muldoon!" She called in surprise as she ran over to him. She gasped and winced when she saw that his chest and arm were torn up.
"Shhh! The Raptors are loose. I killed one, but there are still two more and one of them is the Alpha. We need to get back into the bunker." Evelyn nodded looking around fearfully before grabbing his arm and helping him up, supporting some of his weight and helping him over to the bunker.
Once in the bunker, Evelyn called out,
"Hello? Anyone still in here?"
"Down here!" She heard Ian call back. She managed to manuvor Robert, who by now was leaning heavily on her, down the stairs.
"Dear lord! What happened Robert?" John exclaimed as he moved over to him.
"The Raptors are loose." Evelyn said shortly as Robert sat down heavily into a chair. She didn't have the patients for John's theatrics at the moment. "Do you have a first aid kit?" She asked. John blinked before turning to look in a cabinet,
"Of course, of course my dear girl, do you need help?" He asked, passing her the emergency first aid kit.
"No. I can do it." She said as she turned to Robert. "I need you to take your shirt off Mr. Muldoon." She said. Robert nodded and started to unbutton his shirt with his uninjured arm and slipping the shirt off. She winced as she saw the wound in his chest, looking like someone had stabbed him with a dagger, she figured his arm was bitten while the Raptor had dug its claw into his chest. She quickly started to clean it the best she could with the peroxide.
While she tried to patch Robert up, John hover over her anxiously.
"Evelyn my dear, are my grandchildren safe?" He asked. Evelyn glanced up at him before nodding.
"They're fine, if a bit hungry and dirty. Tim will need to see a doctor as soon as possible, he was still on the electric perimeter fence when the power was turned back on. Dad had to give him CPR, but he's fine. They're both in the dining hall eating the last time I saw them." She explained as she started to wrap his arm up. She looked around, frowning. "Where is my brother?" She asked.
"He went to the Garage to pick up a jeep so we can get to the helicopter pad. He should be back in a few moments, assuming he didn't run into any trouble." Evelyn nodded uneasily and turned back to Robert to finish him up.
"He did take one of the riffles, so he can protect himself if you're worried about that." Ian piped up. Evelyn gave him a weak smile,
"Well, I guess that's something." She said before patting Robert on his uninjured arm. "That's as much as I know how to do for you Mr. Muldoon. You'll need to go see a hospital still, I think you need stitches, but I don't know how to do that." Robert nodded at her gratefully,
"This at least will give me a good fighting chance at least." She nodded and smiled weakly. Just then the doors to the bunkers opened up quickly and Ethan bound into the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
"Well, I just shot a dinosaur with a strange frill around its neck that looked like it was going to attack me, and I have the van… Eve! You're okay!" He said, interrupting himself mid rant. Evelyn stood up quickly and the two quickly met up and gave each other a huge bear hug.
"Of course! I'm so glad you're okay too!" She said tearfully, glad to be back with her twin. Just then the phone rang, causing everyone to turn and look at it in surprise.
John quickly walked over to it and picked it up.
"Grant?" He asked. He listened for a moment before asking "The children are alright?" Evelyn rolled her eyes, she had just told him they were. But she was startled, along with the others when he started yelling "Grant? Grant!" Evelyn and Ethan shared similar looks of panic.
"What? What happened?" Ethan demanded. John barely spared them a look.
"I'm not sure, sounded like gun shots and screaming." He said as he dialed a new number and waited for someone to pick up. "Yes, this is John Hammond, I'm requesting a helicopter be sent to the island to pick us up as soon as possible, and if there could be a medical team waiting on the mainland it would be greatly appreciated." Then he hung up and turned to look at them.
"Let's get in the car and stop by the compound, pick everyone up then leave." He said. Robert slowly got to his feet and headed to the door, John saying close to him while Ethan and Evelyn helped Ian out to the Jeep. When Evelyn saw the jeep she looked at Ethan in disbelief,
"How are we all going to fit in there?" she asked. Ethan studied the jeep for a moment,
"Ian and Mr. Muldoon will have to sit in the small bed. John will drive and you will sit on my lap in the back, Lex will have Tim sit on her, then there will be room for Ellie and Dad to each have a seat." He said. John nodded
"It looks like that will have to work. Let's hurry now." He said, getting into the driver's seat. Evelyn and Ethan helped Ian into the very back and had him prop his leg up onto Roberts's legs. Than they hopped in, Evelyn sitting on Ethan's lap and hanging on tightly as John quickly pulled out and drove to the guest center. Just as they pulled up, the other four were running out, when they saw the car, they ran over and jumped in, barely getting situated as Alan hopped in the front seat and turned to John.
"Mr. Hammond. After careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park." He said. John paused and looked at him before turning to look back at the road.
"So have I." He stated as he almost pealed out of there.
When they finally go back to the Helipad, Evelyn stopped briefly, just before getting into the helicopter to look back at the island. She glanced over to see John looking sadly towards the compound before her dad went and brought him back to the 'copter. She felt bad for him, he really did want this to work and it fell down around his ears.
"Come on Evie." Ethan said. She turned and climbed into the helicopter, relieved to be getting of the island. Once the helicopter took off, everyone was silent. Evelyn watched as Lex and Tim fell asleep against her dad, before leaving her own head against Ethan's shoulder and falling asleep, the weekend having finally caught up to her.
