Chapter 20

Ellie carried Alan over to a table and put him down. She slapped his face, kissed him, threw water over him, but nothing worked. Then Sparky came forward and touched his hand, and he woke immediately. Ellie saw this and frowned, tehn a look of complete pain filled her eyes, and she sighed, nodded, and crept to the back of the crowd gathered around Alan.

"Grant, Grant, mate, what's wrong????"

"The-the-Spino-Spinosaurus...I saw one, I know I-ARGH!!!! ARGH!!!!"

He began writhing and screaming in blood-curdling pitches, It took Ellie, Sparky, Sir Kibblespit and Spotty to hold him down, but he was still squirming and screaming in terror, since he had spotted Warren again.

"Quick, get the syringe and we'll sedate him!!!!" Ellie said to Bob.

Bob ran tohis backpack and brought out a huge needle he filled it with a clear liquid and then made his way back to the table. The people holding Alan, still kicking and screaming, turned him over, with some difficulty, and sparky pulled down hsi trousers, which Alan giggled at, then paused then started screaming again. Bob quickly pushed in the injection and Alan sighed and fell still. Everyone took a deep breath, then Warren started to whine.

"I tooooold you no one likes me, it's not faaair-"

"IF YOU DON'T BLOODY SHUT UP I'LL GIVE YOU ONE OF THESE TOO!!!!" Bob screamed at Warren.

"Quite right, old chap." Sir Kibblespit tugged on Bob's stocking and held out his claw, putting a briefcase under his arm. "Sir Kibblespit, of Kibblespit Enterprises."

"Er, hi, Bob Muldoon."

"Are you interested in buying and owning half of the business, good man???? I can tell a good businessman when I see one, and you fit the description." He smiled and put on his reading glasses. "The terms and conditions you will need to read through, but it's all just normal regulation stuff..."

While they had a conversation, Ellie turned to Sparky and said

"Sparky, I've seen the way he looks at you...."

"Spark-EY????"

"Don't pretend you don't know, Spark.." Ellie bowed her head, hiding the tears.

"Sparky...Sparky knows...Sparky knows Alan...wuvs...him." he whispered the last two words. "And...Sparky...feels the same way."

Ellie took a deep breath, and got up.

"Well, ok, I, er, think I need to be alone..."

And she walked away.

"Er...is anyone else aware that Alan's trousers are still down????"
