Chapter 7

Billy, the Kirbys and Alan Grant burst through the double doors of the building, with the spinosaurus charging at them.
Alan and Paul immediatly grabbed the doors, slammed them shut and with Billy's help sealed the many locks. They stepped away from the door just as the spinosaurus crashed into it. Paul immeditly went to his wife and son and stood protectively near them on instinct while Billy and Alan stood frozen in place as the predator rammed itself against the doors.
To the suprise, and relief, of the small group of humans, the doors held. None of them moved until they heard the thundering footsteps of the spinosaurus fade. Even though all of them were pretty near certain the reptile was gone all of them moved away from the doors.
Almost immediatly the Kirby's resumed hugging their son. Eric smiled. His parents spent as much time hugging him as escaping predators! Not that he cared. He just never wanted them to let go of him again.
"Udesky?" Alan asked Billy when they were away from the Kirby's reunion.
"The raptors..." Billy said slowly. He knew he didn't have to say more then that. Alan knew the man was dead and simply wanted to know how. "What about Julia?" Billy asked, hoping that the raptors hadn't gotten the child.
"We spent the night with Eric. She was gone before we woke up this morning. We can only hope she is alright." Alan said gently. But he knew hope wasn't something that would help them in this God foresaken place.
"Did you see those hadrosaur yesterday?" Alan asked, trying to change the subject from Julia who even he was worried about. "The raptors completely ignored them. What do you make of it?"
Billy was silent for a moment. "Alan could you please give me the bag...?" He said nodding towards his black camera bag.
Alan looked at his assistant and frowned. He didn't like the look on Billy's face. It was a blend of guilt and fear. Not just fear more like a crazed panic. Like he would fight Alan just to get the bag away from him.
"Why...?" Alan asked apprehensively. When his assistant didn't answer and simply looked at the floor, unable to say why Alan knew it was deathly serious. Slowly he unzipped the top of the bag to reveal two eggs.
"Raptor..." Alan identified them at once at looked to his assistant with a mix of shock, horror, disgust and shame. For a moment he didn't know what to say, unable to determine which emotion should guide his words.
The Kirby's were now watching the other two humans and seemed just as horrified as Dr. Grant in regards to what Billy had done.
"I thought if we got them back to the mainland we could fund the dig another ten more year." Billy said, desperetly trying to explain his actions to his now furious mentor. "I swear, I had the best intentions." He said in a pleading voice.
"Billy, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions." Alan said coldly. "John Hammond had nothing but good intentions when he dreamed up Jurassic Park and look where it got us." With a voice of alarming sincerity he finished, "Billy you're no better then the people who built this place."
These last words hit Billy like a ton of bricks. People had said cruel, hurtful things to him before out of anger but none of these things had been said in such a calm voice. Like they really meant it.
Billy looked over to the Kirby's. Even they were shocked by what Alan had said.
Dr. Grant walked over to a large observation window that over looked the river far below. Alan held the camera bag out the shattered window and was but to drop it when he hesitated and pulled the bag back through the window.
"Wait, what are you doing?!" Paul said frantically. "What do you think those things will do to us if they find us with those things?"
"What'll they do if they find us without them?" Alan said calmly. "They already know we have them and they'll follow us until they get them back, or we get out of here. We might as well keep what they want."
Being a business man, Paul knew Alan was right and nodded.
"Come on." Alan said walking towards a stairwell.
"We spotted a boat down at the river." Eric explained to his parents.
The Kirbys followed Alan down the stairwell. Billy stood for a moment rooted in place before following the others.
