Ch.4
Jessica sat on the ground later that night, watching the stars in the clear sky. "I can't believe he said yes. You know? I would have never expected him to say it. Ever give the thought of going back." She said.
"He knows we need the money for the dig." Billy answered, taking a seat on the ground next to her. Jessica nodded. "I know. But a part of me feels he needs to go back, to put it all behind him."
"Yeah, maybe. But what I'm guessing, so do you."
Jessica smiled. "You're right. I do too." She sighed. "What are we doing, getting all sappy about it? It's not like we're going to land on the island, just an air tour. No landing." She said.
Billy nodded. "Exactly. We're not landing. Now.. I wanted to give you something." He said as he reached into his pant pocket and brought out a velvet ring box and held it out to her. Jessica's eyes widened and she gasped. "Billy.. It's.. I.." She stuttered as she looked at the fine sterling silver diamond ring. "It's beautiful." She said.
"Now, I don't want you to wear it just yet. You know, you're dad.."
"Would flip, I know." She said.
"So, I got you a necklace to put it on." Billy added as he pulled a matching silver necklace to put it on. He slipped the ring onto the necklace then clasped it around her neck.
Jessica looked down at the ring, a smile playing on her lips. She looked at him, not knowing what to say, so she just leaned forward and kissed him softly.
The next day, Jessica got ready in her part of the camper at the dig site to leave for Costa Rica. She put on her khaki flares, and a black tank top, and her tennis shoes. She quickly brushed her golden brown hair and put on a little make up, quickly backed a bag for the trip and was out the door. She met up where Billy and Alan were waiting for her. "Ready to go?" She asked the two. They nodded and Alan drove to the airport, where they were meeting the Kirby's.
Most of the plane ride, Jessica and Billy played card games, or quizzed each other on Raptors.
"No, Billy. You've never seen these things, they're a lot faster than you think, I've had to out-run them before, remember?" Jessica said, winning the argument they were having as she set down an Ace card that overtook Billy's King in the game of War. She collected the two cards.
It went that way the rest of the way until they landed.
"Ok, the hotel should be.."
"Right there! Turn left!" Jessica said, pointing to a huge hotel. Alan turned left and pulled into the parking lot and parked. Billy, Jessica, and Alan all got out of the car. Two other cars pulled up to reveal the Kirby's and a few others that were sharing this trip with them.
They all checked into their rooms and Jessica took her key. "Well, I'll see you all in the morning." She said, picking up her bag and heading up walking with Billy to his room. Alan watched the two with interest. He had a slight feeling something was going on.
Jessica stood in front of her door. "Well, this is me." She said to Billy. He nodded. "Yep, and I'm in the room across the hall, who would have thought?" He asked. Jessica smiled. "No sneaking into my room. I need my beauty sleep." She said. He kissed her quickly so no one would notice and headed into his room, while she turned and headed into hers.
Jessica changed into her pajamas and jumped onto the huge bed, and fell right asleep.
Beep! Beep!
Jessica peeked one eye open and glared at the alarm clock. The big red letters read 6:00A.M. "Damn it all to hell.." She muttered and rolled out of the covers and headed to the bathroom.
She started the water for a shower and stepped in. Soon she was out and getting ready for yet another plane ride. She dried her hair and got dressed in a pair of dark blue denim flares, a white tank top, and her shoes. She put on her make-up and prepared to leave. She looked around her room to see if she missed anything. Nothing. Jessica grabbed her bag and left the room.
Soon, they were all back on a plane, heading for Isla Sorna. Jessica's heart was racing, and she fought to keep her breathing calm. Billy put his hand on hers, trying to calm her down. She smiled at him and instantly she calmed down.
Alan couldn't get comfortable in his seat. He looked over at Billy who was cleaning his camera lenses and putting the camera back into his ragged case.
"Even with what I pay you, couldn't you afford a better bag?" Alan asked.
Billy shook his head. "No way. This is lucky. Couple years ago some buddies and I went hang gliding off these cliffs in New Zealand. Updraft sent me right into the side. BOOM!"
"That does sound lucky." Alan said.
"It was this strap alone that saved my life. Got caught on a rock as I was falling." He finished. "Reverse-Darwinism. Survival of the most idiotic." Alan said.
Billy leaned forward. He should have already said it before, but he didn't. Jessica looked over and had a moment of fear that he was going to tell Alan about the two of them. She held her breath. "Listen Alan, I really appreciate you bringing me along." Billy said. Jessica smiled.
"The bones will be there when we get back. That's the nice thing about them. They never run away." Alan said. "And besides, you got me into this. I don't intend to be alone with these people." He added.
"Don't worry Dad, that won't be an option." Jessica said. Something threw her off about the Kirby's.
"That's always good to know, Jess." Alan said.
Alan sat back in his seat and put his hat over his eyes. "Wake me when we get there."
Billy and Jessica continued their game of War from the previous night. "War!" She said quietly as they both put down a seven card. They both put down three cards and then flipped the fourth one. Billy had an eight, and Jessica a ten. She scooped up her cards, smiling happily. "I don't get it. You beat me all the time." Billy said. Jessica laughed. "I'm good." She said.
About an hour later, Jessica leaned over to shake Alan awake. "Dad.. Wake up, we're almost there."
But Alan didn't stir. He was dreaming that a Raptor was staring at him hungrily, saying his name.
"Alan." It sounded like Billy.
Alan woke up with a start, only to have Jessica and Billy staring at him with worry. "You alright, Dad?" Jessica asked. Alan nodded. "I'm fine." He said.
"Where almost there." Billy said.
Alan looked out the window and saw Isla Sorna beneath them. He took a sharp breath as the plane descended lower to the island.
Up front, where the pilots were, Jessica barely heard the radio. "Unidentified aircraft approaching Isla Sorna, this is San Juan approach. You are flying in restricted airspace. Immediately turn to the coordinates two-zero-zero. I repeat redirect to..." Before the person could finish, one of the pilots turned it off.
Billy saw the smile on Alan's face. "Admit it. You're excited." He said.
"He just forgot what it was like, to see them in the flesh." Jessica said. She knew she had forgotten, and was excited herself.
Suddenly, Jessica noticed out her window, the plane kept getting lower and lower to the ground, and the wheels were coming out. "What..?"
Alan noticed the same thing as well. "What you're.." He realized. "You can't land!" He said.
Paul and Amanda turned to him. "Dr. Grant if you'd just sit tight, we'll explain this all in a jiffy."
"You cannot land on this island!" Jessica said.
"It's going to be alright.. Just.." Amanda started to say, but stopped when Alan jumped out of his seat and headed towards the cockpit.
A man grabbed Alan from behind, and Alan began to wrestle, determined not to be held. "Hey! Get your hands off my father you.. You.." Jessica said and got up herself. "Jessica!" Billy said as she was pushed aside and onto Billy. She yelled as Alan was punched in the face and he was knocked out.
Everyone filed out of the plane minus Billy and Jessica. "Jerks." She muttered bitterly as she felt her shoulder. "You ok?" Billy asked. Jessica nodded, but winced when her fingers brushed a sore spot. "He didn't have to push me so hard.." She said. "I know." He answered.
Alan moaned and stirred awake. "Dad?" Jessica asked. Billy and Jessica both helped him to his feet. "Tell me we didn't land." He said.
Jessica and Billy looked at each other. "We think they're looking for someone."
