Chapter 5. – The Raptor Pen Tour

"HAMMOND" Hammond turned, Donald stormed through the door "Why didn't you tell me about this, raptor incident" Hammond looked down as if almost ashamed " You lead me to believe every thing was all right, no problems, every security system set up and you have the cheek to hide this information from me, I hope for your sake you have a explanation from withholding this, and it better be good" he hissed.
"Hide it from you, of course I was going to tell you, when we got to the raptor paddock" he had of course no bloody intention of telling him. " I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but the incident happened over 3 months ago, we sorted out more precautions and cleared up the incident quickly, as I said nothing is wrong"
" But it was wrong" Donald was beginning to look defeated he had jumped in head first and Hammond has a perfect excuse " you have problems.
" Did dear boy, we did, and they're all sorted out, as I said before nothing is wrong with Jurassic park, now to the park shall we venture.
"Yes" was all Gennaro said as he admitted defeat, behind them Dennis sniggered quietly and whispered to himself, "they may not have problems now, but in three hours they will" then he noticed Arnold was glaring at him, Dennis turned away, "God, did he hear, it doesn't matter I couldn't give a toss anymore, three hours and I will be 5 million dollars richer, three hours and Hammond and that slime ball Arnold will get everything coming to them, just they wait and see" and he slinked off to the vending machines. " First we shall go to see the Laboratory, Henry Wu our chief genetist is expecting us" Hammond led Donald down the heavily guarded corridors, though password doors, pass doors and fingerprint doors, HELLO MR HAMMOND, YOU ARE CLEARED TO ENTER said the state of the art machine before the door slid open, through the doors it was spotless, the was a low almost quite hiss, my other than that silence, the lab was deserted, all the workers were on their lunch break, the only noise other than the hiss, was of a pen scribbling on a piece of paper, the owner of the pen looked up as they entered, " ahh, Hammond, about time too, your late" Wu didn't seem that bothered, just a bit hyper " You're a bit energetic today, Henry, shall the tour commence" nods of approval from Henry and Donald " Right" Henry said leading the way " There is really not much to show you because the magic happens on isla sorna but I can show you some of our equipment" Donald nodded " right 10 million pounds worth of equipment here, 5 XMP version 9.0 Gene sequencers, as you know, the Genome would take up to two years to look at the entire Dna code by hand, these beauties cut the stand down in seconds, and virtual displays" he picked up a virtual reality headset " show the genetist the gaps in the code, we then use the complete Dna of a frog to fill in the missing parts, you with me so far" Donald nodded, " well we have a complete code, our job is finished, the DNA is shipped over to isla sorna where the other take over and fertilise the embryos and egg them, they are shipped back to us and we get this" he walked over to another machine, a long metal arm was turning the eggs " these eggs are made from special plastic they mimic the features of a real egg, this machine here acts like the mother, keeping the eggs at a constant temperature, turning them, after nine months, we get this" his attention turned to one particular eggs, it was moving, and then a cracking started, long cracks appeared in the egg and a snout pointed out, Hammond pulled on his gloves and helped the animals out "there u go, come on, push, come on, you can do it" he was talking to the egg he looked up at Donald " I've been here for the birth of every animal in the park" the animal finally emerged was wrinkled, blood red, and small " Any questions Mr Gennaro" Henry said " just one, what species is it" said Gennaro looking at the little dinosaur " it's a umm. Velociraptor" Gennaro looked intently at it " interesting" he said blatantly " Speaking of Velociraptors, we are going to the raptor paddock, where our game keeper is meeting us"

A blood-curdling scream filled the air. Gennaro jumped in fright and gazed at the "raptor" pen. He listened to the primeval snarling coming from within the dense foliage behind the thick electric bars. He hesitated but stepped closer. Looming over the pen was a tower, on which menacing looking machine guns were posted. A man in khaki clothing glanced from the tower and started to head down the stairs to meet with Gennaro and Hammond.
"Good morning, Mr Hammond", he said quietly.
"Ah, morning Muldoon", Hammond grinned, "How are they?"
"They're as well as can be expected. We're feeding them soon", Muldoon, a big muscled man with a hard look on his face stepped closer, looked Gennaro over and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Do you have any problems with them, Mr Muldoon?" Gennaro ventured timidly.
Muldoon ignored the frantic waving and panicky looks Hammond was shooting him behind Gennaro's back, "Yes, we do. Lots of problems".
"Are they dangerous?"
"Dangerous?" Muldoon laughed harshly.

He thought back to the terrified screams of the worker as a huge taloned feet tore through the air, seized him and yanked him into the cage. He could hear the shrieks as the man was torn to pieces whilst still alive. He hadn't acted fast enough. If only he could have reached for his shotgun and fired instead of grabbing the man…but it was too late now.

"Yes, they're dangerous. Lethal at eight months. I've hunted most things that can hunt you but the way these things will…"
"Why are they so dangerous?" the lawyer pressed.
"You name it, they can do it", the game warden answered, "They can rip a man open in one swipe of their claws. They can run fifty miles per hour if given the chance, leap sixteen feet from a standpoint, bite through metal and figure out how to open a lock and open the door handle in a few minutes".
"Open door handles?" Gennaro announced, alarmed, "Is there any way they could escape".
Muldoon shook his head, "All precautions are being taken. Hell, they try. The fences are electrified, but they test it for weakness systematically, trying to figure a way out. But they can't get out. As long as the power is ticking then there's no chance that they can get out".
"But what if they did?"
"Then God help us all".

Gennaro glared at Hammond, "I hope you've got a good goddamn computer operator".

For once, Hammond made no attempt to cover anything up or reassure Gennaro. He merely looked at his feet and murmured,
"Yes, I hope so too".

From within the pen, a raptor glared at the humans from the security of the foliage and snarled.
The headboard was banging in quick succession against the wall, the springs squeaked as if they were about to break due to the constant movement; Kate laid on the bed her head thrown back in immeasurable pleasure, she was moaning with delight as she had a orgasm, she flinched grabbed the man on top of her and urged him to go faster, the man on top was Gennaro working into a sweat, suddenly the end legs of the bed, gave a last groan and broke, the bed fell and now laid horizontally, Kate shifted up the bed clinging to the headboard, Gennaro moved with her, refusing to stop, the board rocked more violently, Kate screaming in delight, Finally Gennaro slowed to a gentle thrusting and stopped breathing in deeply she said " That was bloody awesome, on the other side of the room Nedry was down on the floor with eye pressed against the keyhole watching intently and jealously as the headboard started its onslaught once again.
