Chapter 3: Departure and Arrival
The copter slowly rose into the air. Tim remembered the last time he had ridden on one. He had had so much fun, but that was before the disaster at the park. He shook off the memories, deciding now was not the time for them. The copter bounced into the air, slowly but surely moving toward the horizon. Tim looked at the other passengers in the copter, studying their facial features and their attitudes. The one called Carrin was the pilot of the copter; he seemed respectful, but adamant about his work. The co-pilot, the one called Jennings, who Tim frankly didn't want to mess with, seemed like he took his job to seriously and had major temper issues. The third one, the other nice one named Winters, was setting across from Tim. He seemed a lot like Carrin, but with a bit more of an attitude. All three were very muscular, and seemed like they were people Tim wouldn't want to get mad. His eyes soon drifted towards the young Miss Riley. She looked about his age, maybe a year younger, but from what he could tell, her beauty matched her brains. He shook off the thoughts of her, figuring too many thoughts about the girl would interrupt his work. He felt no need to find anymore about Knight, since he had already heard his intentions and ideas. Lost in thoughts, Tim began to drift off to sleep, awaiting their arrival.
The raptor snarled and hissed, moving around the corner of the cabinets. Lex motioned for Tim to follow her; Tim giving her a shake of the head meaning "No". His sister crawled off around another corner. He then heard the sound of one of the two raptors in the kitchen coming near him. Its long neck reached around the cabinet, trying to smell him out. Tim began crawling after Lex, when he heard her scream, and something slam into metal. The raptor roared and looked toward Lex. Tim jumped up and ran; the raptor chasing after him. He ran into the freezer, trying to escape. He slipped and struggled to get up. The dinosaur, with its teeth barred, came toward him. It moved slowly, feeling the cold, slick ice. Tim couldn't get up in time, and realized he was going to die at the age of ten.
Tim woke up, sweating badly. He checked and checked again, making sure he was still alive. A dream, that's all it was. That had happened to him during the incident, but he had escaped and locked the raptor in the freezer. Jessica looked at him. "You alright?" she asked.
"Yeah," he said, "Bad dream."
As she usually seemed to, she smiled at him, and went back to work. Her eyes had barley left the computer since take off. How long had they been flying? Tim questioned to himself until he heard, "Mr. Knight, estimated landing time, twenty- five minutes," said Carrin.
"Good," said Knight.
Tim, still drowsy then realized he had been asleep for almost three hours. As the last bits of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he felt a chill, almost like a premonition. He wiped the sweat away and leaned back. "I hope nothing goes wrong," he said, as memories of Jurassic Park flooded back into his head.
