They're Here
Malcolm sat with Sarah at the table, they were drinking coffee as they stared out the window. They were waiting for the others to get there, Grant had called around 2 am. Saying he and Billy were coming. Levine, just like the bastard Malcolm said he was, didn't call once. Malcolm took a sip of coffee. He didn't want to do this. This would be what, his third time at an island with dinos. How far a man's luck go on? He thought to himself. He didn't know if he should really go. He felt like this would be the last time. Although he'd felt that way since the first encounter with Isla Nublar. He didn't want to be with these people, he felt like he was sending them to their deaths. . . But Raven. He couldn't forget about her, if she was still alive, they had to do something. Right?
"I wonder what's taking them." Sarah said.
It was about 7 am. Kelly was still asleep, and they were alone.
"It's probably the airport. I hate airports." He said.
"I know you do."
Half an hour later, Kelly woke up. She got up quickly, running to see if anybody was there. She was disappointed to see just her father and Sarah.
"They should have been here by now." She said.
"I know, Kel."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven awoke again. She went to get some candy for her breakfast. She grabbed her backpack, and headed outside. She could see the morning due on the grass. In the distant she could here birds calling. She took a bite of her candy, and headed into the jungle. She was going to go to her boat, and get some supplies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kelly was standing in front of the window, eating some cereal. Malcolm and Sarah were now getting some food for themselves. Kelly waited patiently, she wanted the people to come. She wanted to leave already, she was ready. She wanted her closest friend back. And then a taxi pulled up in their driveway.
"Daddy! They're here! They're finally here!" She called.
Malcolm came running to her side, with Sarah close behind. He stared at the window for only a moment. It was Grant. Malcolm went to the door, and busted it open.
"Malcolm!" Grant said looking over.
"Hello Dr. Malcolm." Billy said, getting their bags from the back.
"Hey, Allan. Welcome to my merry home." Malcolm said.
"Dr. Grant!" Kelly came running over to greet them.
Kelly had met Dr. Grant a long time ago, just when Raven came to stay with them. He was doing a dig there, and invited the two to come along. Grant was always surprised at the two of them. Raven because her knowledge of dinosaurs, she mainly learned about them from her father. And Kelly because Kelly knew more about math than he. Kelly always liked digging with Grant and Raven. Then Kelly met Billy one day. She and Raven had a crush on Billy, though he was a little too old for them.
"Hi Billy." Kelly said.
"Hey Kel."
Malcolm came to help Billy with the luggage, and Sarah stepped out to meet the others.
"Allan, I don't think we've ever met." Sarah said. "I'm Sarah Harding." She shook Allan's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Harding. I've heard about you from Malcolm."
"You have?"
"I wish we could have met in better circumstances." Allan said.
"Yeah, I know. . ."
"Let's go inside." Malcolm said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven was about halfway to her boat. She was crouched down, hiding in a bush. She looked around, looking if it was safe. She saw nothing, and ran. Her boots got muddy, and her clothes were torn by now. But it didn't matter. She crouched down again, looking around more. Then she heard a twig snap behind her. She looked back, and there stood an infant Velociraptor. It may have been a child, but it was still almost as tall as her. Raven froze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So what are we going to do?" Grant said looking up at Malcolm.
Malcolm was standing by the window again waiting for Levine. Grant and Billy sat on the couch, Sarah was sitting on a chair, and Kelly was sitting quietly on the floor. Malcolm sighed.
"When Richard gets here he'll have a plane waiting for us. The plane will take us there, and we- - Do what we have to do."
"We should bring guns." Billy said.
"I know. Thanks you guys. For coming along." Malcolm said.
"Yeah, Raven was a nice kid."
"Plus I owe her. She gave me ten bucks and I never paid her back." Billy was trying to lighten up the mood, Grant gave him a look to say stop.
There was a silence.
"Damn dinos." Grant said.
"No. Damn Hammond." Malcolm replied.
"May he rest in hell."
"Hammond?" Kelly asked.
"The genius that made those monsters."
"They're even getting off the island now." Sarah said.
"Yeah, the Pteradons, right?" Billy asked, rubbing his neck. "I hate those damn birds."
"They were spotted nesting somewhere in Hollywood." Malcolm said.
Then there wasn't much talking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven looked at the raptor. It didn't strike her, merely looked at her, like it was curious. It bent down to look at her on the ground. It tapped its claw toe on the ground. Then an adult came bursting out of the jungle, grabbing the young one. It screeched at the little raptor, and looked at Raven. Raven didn't dare move. It came closer looking at her. The child raptor attempted to get close to Raven again, but the adult scared it away. The raptor stared at her, bobbing its head like it was thinking. Then another raptor jumped and snatched Raven's backpack right off her back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dammit, Richard. Where the hell are you?" Malcolm said.
And then a nice red Mustang parked close to the house. Out stepped Richard Levine, smiling as he slid off the hood and walked to the door. Malcolm opened it before he could even knock.
"Hey, Malcolm. What did I miss?" Levine said.
"Richard I swear to God, I'm going to- -"
"Hey I'm the one with the plane here!"
"Shut up."
Levine came walking in casually. He dressed in baggy jeans, and an old brown jacket. He had all this money, and he didn't bother to dress politely.
"Hello, everyone." Levine waved. "I'm Richard Levine, the man whose parents are rich. I will be providing you the transportation you require to go to Site B. I will be accompanying you at the - -"
"Cut the crap." Malcolm. "Everyone this is the rich bastard I've been telling you so much about." Levine waved again. "So where's the plane?"
"You're not going to introduce me to everyone?"
Levine walked passed Malcolm and shook everyone's hands.
"Ok, my PRIVATE plane is at the airport waiting for us."
"Do you have any weapons?" Grant asked.
"I don't want to kill any beautiful dinos!" Levine exclaimed.
"Richard you're always bragging about your guns!" Malcolm said. "Now we need some damn guns."
"You're not going to shoot a dinosaur, this is my one chance to see them in flesh."
"Richard."
"Fine, there's a couple guns in the plane."
"You keep guns with you on your plane?" Sarah asked.
"Hey, I'm a spoiled rich kid, I like guns!"
"Malcolm was right about you." Sarah said under her breath.
"What?"
"Come on people! Get what you need, and let's go. The quicker we get this over with the better. How long will it take to get there?" Malcolm said.
"We'll be there by 6 am." Levine replied.
"Ok, good. Let's go."
They all started to get up, grabbing small bags full of clothes, and a couple of Satellite Phones. Kelly got her bag, and headed towards the door. Her father stopped her.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm going with you."
"No you're not."
"Dad!"
"Kelly, I don't want you in danger."
"Dad! I'm not a kid anymore, you don't have to look out for me. I survived that place as a kid, I can survive it now."
"Kelly no."
"Dad!"
"Kelly."
"Sarah!" Kelly pleaded for help.
"No, Kelly you should stay here." Sarah looked over at her.
"No. I don't believe this. I won't wait here, while my dad and my best friend are out getting themselves killed!"
"No. Kelly, No."
"But- -"
"No."
And then everyone went out the door, and into their cars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The raptor still had Raven's backpack in its mouth. It shook its head, dropping it to the ground. It clawed it opened, and sniffed what was inside. The other raptor stared a Raven still. The raptor continued to sniff the backpack, then it lifted its head, and poked it with its toe claw. It waited for the backpack to do something, but it never did. So the raptor looked at the other one, and growled something to it. So then the raptor stared at Raven again, and turned its head, as if it were confused. It looked at Raven once more, and walked off into the jungle with the other ones. Leaving Raven alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kelly watched as all them drove off. She looked pissed. She frowned and stormed out of the house.
"No way." She said. "No way are you going to leave me here."
Kelly got into her car, and drove off after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven left her backpack there. She continued on without it. She was walking in the jungle, wondering what the hell happened to her with the raptors. She knew it wasn't like them to do anything like that. She walked quietly, and looked back. Behind her was a raptor. It didn't seem like it was hunting, merely observing. Raven was getting freaked out now. She took a few more steps forward, and looked back again. The raptor was following her. She took another step, it took another step. She started to run, and it ran slowly after her. Raven stopped. She didn't want to anger it or anything. So she continued onward, with a raptor close behind. The thing was, Raven didn't realize there were five other raptors in the bushes, following her as well.
