Author's Notes: --; So sorry for the wait for this chapter, really, I am. I admit I got lazy to sit down and start the next chapter.. Plus, my computer is doing wacky things and I can't sign into anything-meaning update. Something about needing Cookies.. Oo?
CaptainCrash: Muwahaha! I knew you'd like the flashbacks. Now, about those Raptor eggs.. You'll just have to read and find out! Isn't the suspense just killing you?
Draco the Destroyer: You're too sweet. Yes, your part is coming up. In this very chapter in fact. And.. I'm not telling you what's going to happen! That's cheating, asking me what going to happen!
Serleena: I'm working on the whole "updating sooner" bit. Honest!
Sparklingrain: I know this is a bit late, but.. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! Party all around! I hope you and your boyfriend had worked things out by now. I'm sure you guys will if you haven't already.
Jen: Thanks! Keep reading!
Angel LeeAnn: That chapter explained it all? Good! I promise as soon as I finish this I will start the prequel when I get time for it!
Roxy9: Err.. Good question. Why did Ellie and Alan breakup if they had Jessica? You see.. The reason why they split up was.. Umm.. I don't know. Perhaps I'll put that at the end of the prequel? Which means, you'll have to stick around!
Luv2FigureSkate8: See, I can't even do all that fancy jumping.. I just go around in circles, wishing I could do all that stuff. Seriously.. You check back here everyday?!
Daizymouze: I know, it's been forever since I've updated! I suck for making all of you wait so long!
Evil-Sme-Schizo-Pip: Wow, you really have the jones for Alan, don't ya? Don't worry, he's all yours. A bit old for me. Although he is a cutie. Well, I'm going on about how a father would feel about his only daughter dating. I know how old Alan and Ellie were in the first movie.. But just pretend that they were the same age (How's 30-something for you for the first movie?). After all, it is my story, isn't it?
As always, thanks for your reviews and your support, you guys rock! Now for the long awaited next part!
Ch.6
Jessica wiped the sweat that lightly beaded her forehead with the back of her hand. They had been walking for a while and as the day settled in, the weather was getting hotter.
Alan pushed aside some thick underbrush and everyone stopped. Before them laid a dead carcass. "Don't worry, it's dead." Alan said.
Jessica sucked in a breath as a full-grown Tyrannosaurs Rex rose up from behind with mottled blood around its mouth. Obviously it was feeding.
"Nobody move a muscle." Alan warned. Everyone froze for a moment until Udesky shivered and took off running and the huge dinosaur let out an earth-shattering roar. Amanda, Paul, and Billy took off after that following Udesky. Jessica and Alan exchanged a look and followed them, knowing it was useless to stay put.
They took off running after the others, and felt the rumble in the ground as the Rex chased them. They ran the direction they had came from, and suddenly stopped when the huge dinosaur from before stood in front of them, blocking their path. The group turned around and froze. The T-Rex stood still, blocking the other way.
They were trapped between the two.
Jessica turned around to get a better look at the other dinosaur. She guessed it was over forty feet long, twenty-five feet high. The dinosaur had a spiny sail along its back; its head was the shape of a crocodile with long, curvy teeth. She estimated six feet long arms with three finger hands with fourteen-inch claws.
With nowhere else to go, the group scattered in different directions. Amanda and Paul in one direction, Billy, Jessica, and Udesky in the other.
Alan's foot was stuck between two branches, so he was stuck between the two dinosaurs, which were about to face-off.
As the dinosaurs approached each other, Alan got his foot free and dove between two fallen trees as the dinosaurs circled one another like gladiators in an arena. Alan laid on his back and screamed as the large foot of the other dinosaur landed across the two trunks just inches from his face.
The other dinosaur lunged forward at the T-Rex; it's mouth wide open to take a bite.
The T-Rex sidestepped the attack, taking out small trees with its tail as it spun out of the way.
In the bigger trees, Amanda and Paul scurried again for cover. Alan attempted to get out from between the tree trunks on his hands and knees, trying to keep out of the dinosaurs' paths.
The T-Rex attacked its opponent. It slammed it's tail into the other dinosaur, causing it to be knocked back. Alan had to duck for cover again. The other dinosaur struggled to regain balance, the T-Rex took the advantage and dove forward trying to get a grip at the others throat, pushing the other dinosaur backwards.
Amanda yanked Paul out of the dinosaurs' way, before he was trampled over. The joined Billy, Jessica, and Udesky.
The other dinosaur got its balance back, and began to fight back ferociously. It slashed at the T-Rex with its long arms and razor sharp claws. It finally kicked the T-Rex; it staggered back, wounded.
Alan took the opportunity to make his way back to the others.
The other dinosaur took its opportunity to enclose the T-Rex's neck in its mouth, wrap its claws around, and snapped the T-Rex's neck.
With an earth-shuttering crash, the T-Rex fell to the ground between the winner dinosaur and Alan and the rest of the group.
The winner let out a victorious roar as the group ran away towards the underbrush.
After running awhile, the group stopped. Alan glared at Paul and pushed him up against a tree.
Amanda stepped in between Alan and Paul, her hand up to stop Alan.
"Why did you bring us here?" Alan asked.
"Our son is on this island. We need your help to find him." Amanda said. Paul was still to shocked to answer. Paul took his wallet out from his back pocket and handed a picture over to Alan. Jessica looked from over his shoulder.
"That's him. He's thirteen now.. Just about the greatest kid in the world." Paul said fondly.
Alan passed the photo to Billy, who glanced at it for a moment before passing it back to Paul.
"You let a thirteen year old go parasailing alone?" Billy asked.
"He wasn't alone. He was with a friend." Amanda said.
"Ben Hildebrand." Paul said."Who's that?" Jessica asked.
"Her new boyfriend." Paul answered, a hint of disgust in his voice.
"Paul and I divorced a year ago.." Amanda said quietly.
Jessica nodded, understanding.
"We called everyone, did everything we could. Because of all the controversy over this island, no one will step in. Costa Rica says it's a no-fly zone, it's their own damn fault. Guys at the U.S Embassy -- our U.S. Embassy --said we should "accept the inevitable." You believe that?" Paul said.
"So you hired these mercenaries." Alan said.
Udesky pointed his finger up. "We prefer "recovery specialists." We do overseas custody issues and-"
Jessica interrupted. "Why us then?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"We needed somebody who knew the lay of the land. Somebody who'd been to this island before." Paul explained.
Alan shook his head. "I have never been on this island." He said.
"Sure you have, you wrote that book." Paul said.
"That was Isla Nublar. This is Isla Sorna." Billy said.
"This is site B." Jessica added.
"You mean there are two islands with dinosaurs?" Udesky asked.
Jessica smiled fakely and nodded. "Ding ding! We do have a winner! You may not win something cool like a new car, but you do get a chance to run for your life with fear!" She quipped.
"Still, you've survived the dinosaurs before." Amanda added.
"It'd be better if we knew where we were going. This is new territory for us. If it'd had been Isla Nublar, we'd be a tad bit better off." Jessica said.Alan nodded in agreement with his daughter. "How long have they been missing?" He asked.
Paul and Amanda looked at one another. "Eight weeks." Paul said.
"Almost.. Almost eight weeks." Amanda corrected.
"After all you've seen today, do you really think they're still alive?" Jessica asked. She felt genuine sympathy for the Kirbys.
Amanda nodded. "He's smart. He knows so much about dinosaurs." She said.
"No, I'm sorry, but no. We'll savage what we can from the plane. Then we head for the coast. There may be a boat left, something to get us off this island." Alan said.
Paul stood his ground. "Dr. Grant, we're not leaving this island without our son." He said.
"You can stick with us, or you can go and look for him. Either way you're probably not getting off of this island alive." Alan said
Jessica shivered. She knew her father was right. If they didn't come with them, they were sure to have signed their death warrant to the Grim Reaper right there.
Alan turned to head back to the plane, Jessica and Billy following.
Paul and Amanda were left there with Udesky. They watch the other three go and Paul looks at Udesky. "So what do we do?" He asked.
Udesky was at a loss. He wasn't sure if they should look for Eric without Alan. "Well, I think we should start searching for your son." He said. He glanced at the direction Alan, Jessica, and Billy were walking. He pointed at their retreating backs. "In the direction they're going." He added.
Paul nodded and clapped his hands once. "Excellent idea." He said as he jogged to catch up, Amanda and Udesky following.
The six reached the plane and started scourging the area for anything that could be useful. Udesky picked a gun up, it's barrel bent in a 90-degree angle. Useless.
Billy had found his camera still intact, thankfully.
Amanda and Paul had found a change of clothing, and as while they changed, Billy was taking photos of the giant footprints left in the mud. Jessica knelt down next to him on one side, Alan the other.
"How would you classify it?" Alan asked.
"It's obviously a superpredator." Jessica said.
"Suchimimus. That snout." Billy guessed.
Alan shook his head. "They never get that big."
"Baryonyx?" Jessica asked.
"Not with that sail." Alan said. He looked at the two. "Spinosaurus Aegypticus." He told them.
"I don't remember that on InGen's list." Jessica said.
"That because it wasn't on their list. Which makes you wonder what else they were up to." Alan said.
Billy nodded. "It really does." He said as he looked past Alan at Paul who struggled with the straps of his backpack, turning in circles.
Billy stood up and walked towards Paul with suspicion. "So Mr. Kirby, tell me, when you climbed K2, did you base camp at 25- or 30,000 feet?" He asked. Jessica and Alan walked up behind Billy.
Paul stopped with his backpack to think a moment. "Thirty-thousand, I think. Closer to the top." He said.
"About a thousand feet above it, actually." Billy corrected the older man.
Paul shook his head. "That's a miss communsention."
"Most mountain climbers remember how tall a mountain is." Jessica said.
Alan rubbed his forehead. "There is no Kirby Enterprises, is there?"
Paul knew he had been caught, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore. "There is. I own a place called Kirby Paint and Title Plus. We're out in the Westgate Shopping Center in Enid, Oklahoma. The "plus" is for bathroom fixtures, fireplace accessories, and patio furniture. Stuff like that." He came clean.
"I don't suppose that check you wrote us is any good." Billy said.
"He paid us half up front. Cash." Udesky added.
"Well good for you, at least you got cash." Jessica snapped.
"Mortgaged everything we had to do it. Even the store. and if we make it off this island with my son, I swear, I'll make good on the money I owe you. I don't care if it takes me the rest of my life." Paul said.
"However long that is." Jessica muttered
There you have it! I'll have more chapters up very soon! Tonight even when I get off of work! Toodles!
