Disclaimer- You should know this by now.
A/N: Yeah, yeah I know. The chances are pretty much nothing that the raptor claw from the first movie would still be sitting in the same place eight years later, but it's dramatic license, okay? You'll see what I mean if you keep reading.
Chapter 12- By Courtney
The group wasn't sure what to do, so they headed back to the research center.
"Now what?" Billy asked.
"Well, when we get back to our research center, we try to communicate with the mainland, I guess. If we can't, then we're stuck here for a little while. At least until the people in the other boat get home and send help," Lex supplied. `If they get home.' She added silently.
"All of us?" Billy responded.
"Yeah," she took his hand. "If that's what it takes... then yeah..."
Alan gave Billy a look like he couldn't believe he was flirting at a time like this.
Meanwhile, Dana, Eric, and Cordelia were talking amongst themselves.
"Oh my God! What are we going to do?" Dana asked nervously.
"I don't know. But at least we're not alone," Eric answered.
"Yeah, true," Dana agreed.
"Lia, what's up with you? You're not being very talkative. No, wait I take that back. You're not being very talkative *now*," Dana commented.
"Yeah..." Cordelia said, staring at Dana. "It's just that...you and Billy... you guys, in some weird way, resemble each other."
"Did I just hear my name?" Billy questioned them.
"Uh...no..." Cordelia fibbed.
"Ok." He turned back to Lex, Alan, and Tim.
Dana looked back at Cordelia. "Whatever."
"Actually, now that you mention it, she does," Eric agreed.
"Knock it off, Eric." Dana warned jokingly.
"You guys better hurry up before something happens to you," Lex called.
"Yeah, c'mon," Tim added.
Cordelia, Eric, and Dana quickened their pace. They caught up to the four ahead.
When they finally reached the research center, no one went in right away. They checked around the area for signs that a small raptor or compy could've gotten in somehow, then slowly, they proceeded.
As soon as they were in, Lex logged on to her laptop. She sent an urgent e-mail to everyone she knew.
"Now we just wait. If no one gets that e-mail, we wait for the others to get help. As far as we know, Ellie, the Kirbys, the Kingsworths, and Mrs. Carter escaped the tidal wave and can make it back," Lex said. Everyone nodded solemnly.
Later that evening, everyone was actually quite bored. They didn't want to leave the research center after dark, having learned from past experiences, so they stayed in there for hours. They were all doing things in separate little groups. Lex was on her computer surfing the web. For old times' sake, she decided to try her old hacking skills again. She logged on to one of the web pages that told peoples' family history. You were supposed to pay $25 for it. She hacked into without the charge and looked herself up.
"Hey Billy, check this out. I just traced my family history and it's accurate. `Alexis Murphy- born May 19^th, 1980... blah, blah, blah. Brother- Timothy Murphy... grandfather- Jonathon Hammond... hey, want me to do yours?"
Billy shrugged. "Sure."
Lex typed in `Billy Brennan.' Then she selected the one from the long list of matches that were listed as being born in Billy's hometown. Without really looking at it, she hit print and handed the paper to Billy. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard. It startled the group.
"How are we supposed to sleep in here?" Cordelia asked nervously to no one in particular.
Lex shut down her computer and Billy went to a corner of the room to read the paper. His eyes flickered across it swiftly, then he suddenly stopped.
"Dana?" he said to himself. He looked up at the three kids. He saw Dana and thought about the possibility for a second, then he shook his head and dismissed it from his mind.
In the morning everyone set out towards the visitors' center, thinking maybe they could find a working phone.
Somehow, throughout the course of travel, Dana and Eric wandered away from the rest of the group. Cordelia noticed first.
"Umm...weren't Dana and Eric just walking up there with you?" she questioned.
"I thought *you* three were together..." Billy said slowly.
"No..."
"Oh my God! They're gone?" Lex exclaimed.
No one called or yelled their names. By now they knew better. They began to search. They climbed up a steep, rocky hill. Cordelia was having trouble. Dr. Grant helped her up, remembering how he had helped Lex when she fell down at Jurassic Park eight years ago. Cordelia on the other hand, being the kind of girl who likes to be independent, pulled her hand away. She lost her balance and fell. Cordelia screamed.
"Oh no!" Lex yelled.
Everyone ran down the mound and found Cordelia lying with her eyes closed on a rock. She was breathing. Billy nudged her a little and she came to her senses.
"Areyouokay? Areyoualright?"
"Doesanythinghurt?"
Questions confused her. She blinked and groaned. Then she sat up rubbing her head. She tried to smile slightly, but her eyes were teary.
"My leg hurts," she whispered.
Cordelia's leg was twisted around her back and she was sitting awkwardly.
"I think it's broken," Dr. Grant confirmed.
"I guess you're supposed to know all about bones," Cordelia managed to joke.
She tried to get up, but couldn't on her own. Billy had a sudden idea. He pulled his collapsible camera tripod out of his bag and extended it. He pulled two of the three poles out of the bottom and handed them to Cordelia. She took them and used them to push herself up. They were small and hard to lean on, but she managed to use them as crutches.
"Thanks," she said gratefully to Billy.
They continued to search the land around them. Billy walked with Cordelia in case she needed help with the "crutches," but she seemed to be okay.
Dana and Eric wanted to call for help, but were afraid that something *else* might answer them. They searched silently with the others. Eventually, they came to a large, twisted tree. Something at the base of it caught Dana's eye. She bent over and reached for it. It was a claw of some sort. She showed it to Eric.
"It's a raptor claw... but it's different than the one I found while I was at Isla Sorna... I think it's a fossil..." Eric said.
"A fossil?"
"Yeah..." Eric had a sudden flashback of something Dr. Grant had said back on Isla Sorna: "It's a raptor claw. I used to have one. It was a fossil."
"This must have been the one Dr. Grant was talking about..." Eric whispered to himself. Suddenly, her saw movement from the corner of his eye. He froze, then shoved Dana out of the way. "Dana! Lookout!" he cried.
From the left side of Dana, a raptor peered out from the bushes. The two immediately began scurrying up the tree.
