Chapter Twelve - The Realization
Tai, Davis, and Yolei moved quietly through the jungle. They had walked away from the car about a half an hour ago. They both stopped when they heard the roar of a T-Rex that had, at that time, gave up on chasing Sora, Ryo, and Hoshiko. "Are you hearing this?" Yolie said. There was a roar again.
Tai looked up at a huge tree, "Come on."
Yolie and Davis looked up the tree, and Yolie started to climb it with Tai. Davis didn't move. Tai climbed back down the tree and gently pushed Davis toward, and then up the tree. Davis started to whine. "I hate trees" Davis said to Tai. Tai smiled.
"They don't bother me." Yolie said mockingly.
"Oh yeah, well you weren't in the last one."
When they reached the are a of the tree where they could sleep, they noticed 'long-necks' over the trees. "What are those?" Yolie asked.
"Braciosaurs."
The bracios were making a strange yet peaceful noise. "They're singing" Tai said.
Tai looked up at a branch that could have been taken as a bracio neck. Then he sat on it, cupped his hands to his mouth and made a similar noise. Five more bracio necks popped out of the tree tops and 'sang' back. They were closer than the others.
Yolie tugged on Tai's pant leg, "Don make them come over here."
"They aren't gonna hurt us, they're herbivores."
Davis looked at Yolie, 'That means they only eat greens, but since you're a vegetarian I think they'd make a exception."
"Davis" Tai said warningly.
"Oh I hate the other kind" Yolie said. Tai got down off the branch and sat against it. Davis and Yolie sat down next to him on either side which startled Tai at first. Tai had thought that maybe they would be more uncomfortable around him, but because of the circumstances, the two of them had mentally forgiven Tai and found protection in him. Davis closed his eyes. Yolie looked up at Tai, "Tai?"
"Hmm?"
"What if the dinosaurs come back after we're all asleep?"
"Well. . . I'll stay awake."
"All night?"
"All night."

Cody, and Ken were still completely alone which caused some tenseness in the pair. They were still completely OK with each other but they both had to live with it at the moment.
"Hey Ken?"
"Hmm?"
"Think we're gonna make it?"
"Hopefully. What's that?"
It was the last thing both of them would expect to see. A trailer.

Cody and Ken ran up to the trailer. It was starting to rain and get dark. They both knew the big ones hunted at night. Ken knocked on the door, and it was opened by a short, overweight man (Not as bad as Dennis, this guy only has a belly) who was also balding on the back of his head. By first impression, he seemed very friendly. His expression changed as he noticed who they were. "Oh my god, come in." He hurried the two into the trailer. "I'm with Gennai to get you guys outta here. Here." He gave them new clothes and showed them to a bunk bed near the front of the trailer.
"My name is Eddie." he said as he shook their hands.
"I'm Cody."
"I'm Ken. Thank you for taking us in."
"No problem. I'm in charge of monitoring all of my partners and Gennai of coarse."
"Is he here?"
"No, but he'll be coming shortly. You guys have only been here three days, that's only a few hours back home."
Ken and Cody went over and changed clothes on their bunks, Cody on the top and Ken on the bottom. Ken had changed to a hooded, gray sweater and matching sweat pants. He laid under the clean, navy blue sheets facing the wall. He pulled the hood over his head and fell asleep. Cody was now wearing black sweat pants, and a dark gray hooded sweater. Cody pulled the navy blue sheets over him. Before he fell asleep he thought of how much he wish Armadillomon was there with him.
Making sure they were asleep, Eddie walked over to the monitor and put the telephone headset on so it wouldn't wake them up. "Malone? Ya there?"
"Yeah, I'm here. Where's Dodgson?"
"Close to the nest. Why?"
"Don't let him get to close, those things are smarter than you think. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I've got two of the kids."
"Great. What do you plan to do with them?"
"I think I'll leave them in the trailer. I can get another one."
"Good him get to close he can get cocky sometimes. You know that."
"Yeah I know. . . Well I just figured I'd tell you that more then half the team is gone."
"Fuck."
"Yep. Well see ya."
"Bye."
