Title: Jurassic Park III
Author: Princess Serenity
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: I got more reviews! I think I might actually go into tears from all the nice things you have said. I really appreciate all the questions you guys are asking me because that gives me an insight of where I want to go with this story. I won't be updating for the next few days because I am going out of town and I don't think I'll have access to a computer.
Draco the Destroyer: Thanks for the review. Personally, I like the Spinosaurus. I think what the creators were trying to do was bring in a dinosaur that was new and hasn't been seen in the other Jurassic Park movies. I know T-Rex is a pure fighting killing machine. Big on the killing mind you. There's nothing wrong with defending your favorite. And I'm well aware of what the T-Rex was capable of. I don't think the T-Rex was the perfect killing machine, if you stood still, he couldn't see you at all. But thanks for your input, greatly appreciate it!
Sparklingrain: I'm glad you like it. Seems like everyone gets confused somehow. But yes, Jessica did go with them in the first movie.
Angel LeeAnn: It's ok, I was thinking about going back to the first movie anyway. I don't hate you for anything, especially for your questions. They keep me on my toes and keep me thinking. I guess she lived with Ellie until she went off to live/work with Alan. Everyone has their own little flaws, no worries. As long as we know what they are.
CaptainCrash: Thanks for the review and your suggestion! That's a really great idea! Glad you like!
Now onto the next part...
Ch.2
Alan was on the last stop of his fund-raising tour. Jessica had gone with him for moral support instead of going back to Montana and working on the new dig. He stood in front of a podium, talking into a microphone and change slides from the film projector with every explanation. He finished up his speech for the last slide, and there was silence throughout the auditorium. Some people were grabbing their coats and belongings and quietly sneaking out, thinking that this wasn't the exciting guest speaker they thought it to be.
Alan switched the slide. "It's through the painstaking study of the Interior chamber in multiple specimens that we can determine this exciting correlation between the larynx and the upper plate. That let us theorize -- theorize, mind you -- that the raptor might have been capable of bird- like vocalizations. Which as you can imagine, would be a tremendous breakthrough." He finished his presentation. Nobody had noticed until the symposium leader stood up and started clapping her hands, signaling for the audience to clap as well. Jessica rolled her eyes. 'What idiots. Don't realize something great and true. Bet they were all hoping to hear about Jurassic Park.' She thought.
The symposium leader stood at the microphone. "Thank you very much Dr. Grant. Now does anyone have a question?" Nearly every hand shot straight in the air. Alan took over the microphone. "Does anyone have a question that doesn't relate to Jurassic Park?" He asked. A few hands went down. "Or the incident in San Diego, which I'll remind you, I did not witness?" Most of the hands went down and Jessica sighed and looked down at her feet.
But then someone was called and she looked back up again.
"Your theory on raptors is good and all, but isn't all this conjecture kind of moot?" The male student asked. "I mean, once the U.N. and Costa Rica and everyone decides how to handle the second island, scientist will just go in and look for themselves." He added.
"Isn't paleontology itself in danger of extinction?" A reporter asked.
Jessica glared and started to get up and stalk over to the microphone and take it from her fathers' hand and make a comment back, but a look from Alan told her to stay put.
"No, and let me be perfectly clear on this point. Dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago. What's left of them is fossilized in stone the actual scientists spend years to undercover. What John Hammond and InGen created are theme park monsters. Nothing more, nothing less." He said sternly.
"You're saying you wouldn't want to study them if you had the chance?" A female student asked, standing up.
"No force on this earth or in heaven could get me on that island." Alan said.
About two hours later, Jessica and Alan were once again, in the rental car on their way to the airport back to Montana.
"Isn't paleontology itself in danger of extinction?" Jessica mocked angrily. "If I had a chance at the microphone.." She didn't finish her sentence out loud. "The nerve of that woman!"
Alan shook his head. "It's alright. It was just a question." He said.
"Whatever. Now we're going to have to pack everything up in four weeks. That's hardly enough time!" Jessica complained. Alan nodded in agreement. "I know. I don't like it anymore than you do. But I wasn't the one to tell you to become a paleontologist. Was I?" He asked.
Jessica sighed, she knew she lost this one and that she had walked right into that. "No, you weren't." She said.
A tall black man stood at the front of a plane, spray painting eyes on the front windows. He threw the can aside and walked quickly away. He turned around and looked at his masterpiece. Red eyes, and red teeth to match below it. It looked like some angry beast on crack.
But that didn't matter. It only mattered that it resembled something specific.
He joined his partner who was setting up a massive hand cannon, which was aimed at the plane. Another man joined the two from the operating plan from behind, talking into a cell phone.
"That's right, two of the very best I could find. No, I haven't worked with them personally, but they come with the highest recommendations." He said to the person on the other end.
Then the man handling the cannon fired at the plane. The rocket contacted the plane causing a loud explosion. The three men smiled with satisfaction.
"You've got nothing to worry about sir, this is going to be a walk in the park."
