Chapter 6: The Embryos: Back to the Visitor Center.
Tim and the others walked in the forest for hours, until finally, sunrise came. The island was illuminated by the suns rays, waking up many creatures. The group had decided to hide in the trees again, since Carnotarus had been roaming around on the ground earlier. Carrin lay awake that night, thinking about his job, and why he had taken it. All the stories were true, and he failed to believe them; he knew he would pay the price for that. The others were asleep, as Carrin climbed quietly down the trunk of one of the trees. I'll find somewhere to get help, he thought, and then I'll come back and get the others. He walked into the woods, examining the foliage and animals. He stopped at a different river, most likely running from or near the first, and watched a herd of Stegosaurus cross into the dense jungle. Soon he was in on the other side; sweating from the early morning heat of the jungle. Suddenly, he heard a startling cry somewhere nearby. It screeched again and again. Carrin began to step ever closer until he heard a moving sound to his left, followed by a snort. He turned around, ready to run.and realized he was staring a Velociraptor straight in the face. It roared and made a strange vocalization to its companions in the plants. Four more raptors emerged and blocked every escape. Carrin stepped back, falling as he tripped over a rock. Before he could even hit the ground, the lead raptor had already lashed out and ripped out Carrin's throat.
Tim awoke as he heard what sounded like a low human scream. He then heard screeches and roars following it. Tim looked around the group. "Carrin," he said.
Tim listened and realized what the noises were. Velociraptors. He quickly climbed around the branches, alerting the others of what was going on. Jessica stirred and groggily sat up. Knight rubbed his eyes and also sat up. "What's wrong?" said Knight.
"I think Carrin is dead," said Tim. ************************************************************************
"What do you mean you can't," Allen yelled at the man at the airport.
"That island chain is off limits," said the fat, short man.
"Great, I'll have to find another way," he said.
Lex came up behind him, carrying he loads of luggage. She looked at him, worried; he could tell, but she was able to force a smile. Alan had called Dr. Ellie Sattler, an old friend, for help, but she was busy. He even tried Ian, who was already traumatized enough. Poor Ian Malcolm he thought. Alan had always hated him since that weekend at the park, but he had come to know him better. Ian was a Chaotician and dealt with chaos theory and such. He had had the worst experiences on the island, though he had not seen some of the things that Alan himself had. Ian also always wondered about the Spinosaurus and why it was there. Grant tried not to talk about it, but it was brought up occasionally. Grant was going to see John Hammond, though Tim didn't want that. Lex had already talked to him, and he told them to fly to it. That plan had not worked well. Hammond would have other plans though, and Alan was going to find one he liked. The two waited for the bus to come, both with thoughts on their minds about Tim, and if he was alright.
The group walked through the deep river, not seeing any signs of life. Tim knew that something had happened to Carrin, and was determined to find out what exactly had happened. They soon were in the dense trees and moving in further. Suddenly, a strong, gross smell hit their noses. They had heard Carrin's scream two hours ago, and had just come to find out, tropical heat makes things like that smell worse. The smell was Carrin, or at least came from what was left of him. "Gross," said Jessica, and turned away.
All that was visibly left was his head, arms and stomach. His lower half had been completely torn apart and chewed upon. Suddenly, a low, stomping noise was heard. Out of the trees stepped a young Tyrannosaur. It roared at the intruders in its territory. The three ran back toward the river; the Rex gaining. It was only half as tall as the bigger ones, but its jaws still were the same. It had little problem crossing the waterway, and continued the chase, until the three had run all the way back to the visitor center, which wasn't very far from their departure point in the trees earlier. "I have an idea," Tim said.
The threw open the doors in the front, and ran for the stairs. The young rex roared, then turned too a different smell. Unfortunately for the three, it was the dead Winters. It gave up on them and went to scavenge what little meat was left from the body. The three then ran further into the building, until finally, they ended up in a lab. "I think its safe here," said Tim.
"I hope," Jessica replied solemnly.
"Finally, I found it!" Knight suddenly exclaimed.
"What?" said Tim.
"Its here, the embryos."
Knight opened up his shirt pockets of the brown, safari vest he wore. He pulled out what looked like a small mirror. Inside though, it was like a miniature refrigerator. "I didn't think it was possible, but the embryos in this place are still frozen. I have to keep them that way to preserve them," Knight went on, "and now that I can, our mission is done. Now all we have to do is find a way off this island."
Jessica looked as surprised as Tim did at how the man could be so happy at such a time. "I'm going to look around some more," Tim said.
"Careful," said Jessica, as she went to see if any of the computers worked.
The Rex was still eating its find, so Tim went to the back stairway. There were two doors on each side; Tim picked the first one. He gasped when he saw where it was. \
