Chapter 2

Seemingly hours after coming across Julia the party found the abandoned InGen complex. Julia exchanged a somber look with Dr. Grant and Billy when Mr. Kirby's optimistic idea that Eric was in the complex safe and sound was voiced. They all knew the odds of the boy being alive (or even found) and none had the heart to tell the parents the reality except Julia but Billy had managed to talk into not saying the clear truth of the situtation. They wouldn't listen to them if they tried to tell them anyways. Their desperation to find their son alive was the only thing keeping the two going and they clung to the small hope feircly.
Julia, who didn't live on hope only on her wits and instincts, didn't understand the two. They would yell on occasion which to her seemed beyond ignorant. She didn't fully nderstand why she remained with this party either. They were a danger to her.
'"I am here!"'
She sighed inwardly. Perhaps those cries had made a larger impact then she had thought. She wanted to see these bumbling parents reunited with there son. She knew she wouldn't show any sign of satisfaction if a miracle occured and he did show up alive but some small part of her would feel slightly joyful if it did happen.
'But then again,' she thought to herself, 'the fact that I haven't seen him could mean he has adapted and may very well be a sign that our chances of finding him alive are better then even I would think.' She shook the thought from her head. She wasn't accustomed to such optimistic thinking in any aspect of life. Outside of what she called home that is.
The party stepped into the main lobby of the building which was being reclaimed by the jungle. It was obvious to the party that the building was once luxurious in every way. Dr. Grant knew this through his experience on the first island. Julia knew through experiences on this island.
"Dead."
The party turned to Amanda Kirby as she set the phone that was on the counter back onto the table and Julia felt disgust for the woman. She couldn't believe the woman would even think the phone would work considering the state of this place. And the fact that they put so much faith in their sons intelligence. How could they believe in their son so much and yet not think that he would have contacted them if the phone worked. Unbelievable.
The party solemnly walked through the building, all of them couldn't help but hope to find Eric around the next corner. The Kirby's were the only ones who expected it though. As they passed a vending machine they were reminded of their hunger and Paul began rumaging through his pocket for change. Billy shook his head at how naive Mr. Kirby was being. He took a few steps back and kicks the glass out of one of the machines. Mr. Kirby seemed shocked and acted as if they were now criminals where as Julia and Alan seemed more concerned that something might have heard the breaking glass. Billy distributed the eight year old candy bars and the group ate as they walked trying to be silent even while chewing. When Amanda threw the wrapper of her snack onto the ground Julia immediatly snatched it up and eyed the woman coldly. The two females were growing more and more uneasy with one another as time went on.
Julia and Amanda forgot their feelings toward one another as they followed the others into a large room that Alan knew was a lab for the creation of the dinosaurs. But this labs immense size was suprising even to Alan who had never imagined a lab of such proportions. There were egg incubation chamber and and tanks of formaldihyde with dinosaur bodyparts and fetisis within them. Julia's first emotion to be witnessed by the party crossed her face as she scowled at the lab. Alan dismissed this as feelings on the creations which hunted her.
Julia stuck close to Udesky as Billy began snapping pictures and the others bagan inspecting the equipment. Udesky was clearly more focused on keeping his eyes open for any predators and Julia would rather not be reminded of a lab deeper in the complex that had been scrapped before the accident on the first island. Scrapped once the need for it was lost.
Udesky noticed the uneasiness about the building that Julia felt wasn't what he would consider normal even if she had been on the island for years. There was something unatural about the girl. Something beyond the fact she was alive on the island and her lack of emotion.
'"I've spent more time with dinosaurs then humans,'" He words rang through the mans ears. He still didn't know what to make of this statment but he wanted to make sense of it. He was on the island to save Eric Kirby and he couldn't help but think that they should help this girl as well. He sighed, this girl didn't want help and would never accept it. Whoever tried to help her would be someone who would die in seconds on the island and she would never listen to someone like that.
Udesky's thoughts were interupted by a terrified cry and he turned to see a velociraptor lunging at Mrs. Kirby from behind a tank.
