Disclaimer: We made up the kidnappers and Dr. Steve Foster, and Sheila, Allasyn, Michael, Dana, and Cordelia are basically real people. As for everything else, UNIVERSAL owns it, all right? We're admitting it, so please don't sue us.
A/N: In this chapter, you kind of have to fill in the blanks. What I mean by that is, you never really found out from the 3 created movies what happened to InGen, or if the three dinosaur island ordeals became world-known. In our story, InGen is still alive and well, and the incidents on both islands are now famous. Also, the part in this chapter in all capital letters is the newspaper article.
CHAPTER SEVEN- By Dani
"Come on, kids. You're coming with us," Bob said as he entered the helicopter.
The three children spun around and gasped, realizing the kidnappers were behind them.
"Yeah. Get off this helicopter, and don't get any stupid ideas about trying to escape. Now let's go, it's time for the search," Eddie coaxed nastily as he grabbed a large blue bag from the cockpit of the helicopter. It looked like the kind of bag used to carry golf clubs. Eddie reached in and pulled out two shovels and a pickaxe. He handed the pickaxe and a shovel to Bob and kept one for himself. Then, he took a crumpled newspaper article from his pocket and shoved it in Eric's face. He scanned the article.

`INGEN LEAVES FOUTUNE AT SITE B'
IN SUMMER OF 1997, IAN MALCOM AND THE SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRY INGEN MADE A DEATH DEFYING TRIP TO ISLA SORNA, AKA SITE B, THE WORLD'S SECOND DINOSAUR ENGENEERING ISLAND. WHEN INTERVIEWED AT A TOUR OF INGEN ON SATURDAY, ONE OF THE SCIENTISTS, DR. STEVE FOSTER, ADMITTED TO LEAVING A SUITCASE OF $900,000 OR MORE OF INGEN'S MONEY SOMEWHERE IN THE JUNGLE.
"WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE SCREAM WHILE I WAS HOLDING THE SUITCASE, I HAD TO THINK FAST," FOSTER EXPLAINS. "I TOSSED IT INTO A NEARBY DITCH AND RAN TO HELP THE PERSON SCREAMING, FIGURING I'D COME BACK FOR THE MONEY LATER. I NEVER DID GO BACK FOR IT."
FOSTER WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE BELIEVES THE CASE WAS TOSSED SOMEWHERE ABOUT FIVE MILES EAST OF THE COMPOUND. "BY A LARGE, TIWISTED TREE SHAPED LIKE A CORKSCREW," HE RECALLS.
Eric finished reading and focused his blue-green eyes on Bob.
"So, you want me to help you find the `corkscrew shaped tree' and the money?"
"Exactly."
"There are a lot of corkscrew shaped trees on this island, you know," Eric said hotly.
"Shut up. Let's go," Eddie ordered, and he shoved Eric, Dana, and Cordelia off the helicopter.
The kidnappers lead Eric and his friends through the dust-covered landing strip for what seemed like hours. Finally, they men found a spot in the trees that they thought would be a good place to look.
"Okay, Eric. How do we get to the compound from here?" Eddie asked with fake sweetness.
Eric sighed and kicked his feet in the dirt, knowing that giving a smart- aleck answer or remaining silent would lead Eddie and Bob to hurt him, or more likely, his friends. He couldn't let that happen, especially to Cordelia and Dana, so he said, "About ten miles from here. It's a long walk."
"Thank you."
They walked in the direction Eric had pointed out. Just as they were approaching a clearing in the trees, a loud noise broke the silence.
HHHHRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Eric recognized the sound immediately. It was a sound he'd never, ever wanted to hear again. He'd been having nightmares about it ever since he left the island, but he didn't think he could bear to face it again in person.
Spinosaurus.
"You, Eric! What was that?" Bob demanded.
`No use in lying to him. Anything to get away fast,' Eric thought.
"Spinosaurus! We have to move, and I mean NOW!" He began to run with Cordelia and Dana close behind him. The kidnappers stood in shock for a moment, then turned and ran too, just as the towering greenish brown monster erupted through the trees.
HHHRROOOAARR! It cried, and stomped towards Eddie and Bob. They kept running.
Eric and his friends didn't look back or stop for a second until they reached a large greenish silver object, very familiar in Eric's mind.
"Go in there, hurry!" He cried.
"What is it?" Dana panted while running.
"Just get in! I'll explain it when we're safe!"
They reached the metallic object and Eric pulled open a hatch on the top. The three of them scrambled inside. Eric slammed the door shut.
A second later, two long, loud screams and crunching noises told them it was all over for Eddie and Bob. They were alone, or so they thought.
"Eric, what is this place?" Cordelia asked when they had all caught their breath.
"It's my water truck. Where I lived while I was here. Crunch bar?" he asked, reaching into the box of vending machine candy he knew was still there. He tossed one to Cordelia and Dana and kept one for himself. While they ate, he hung an electric lantern on the ceiling.
`Just like before,' he thought, the memories rushing back to him. Memories he had wanted to forget. Funny how life always makes you repeat the bad experiences, but the good ones are usually once in a lifetime.
`Put it all behind you. Don't let it drag you down,' Eric told himself. He took a bite of his Crunch bar and said, "So, you guys still wanna know about my time on the island?"
