Chapter Severn – Catching Mommy Rex
Muldoon roared down the mud track, and skidded to a halt outside the rex paddock, it seemed quiet Arnold said it was agitated, and yet everything was quiet, he climbed up the high hide, he got Eddie to make one for the t-rex paddock because he wanted to keep an eye on thing, from the top he could see all the paddock, every nook, cranny, every last bit of the enclosure, but when he got up there he was horrified, the juvenile rex was wandering around the paddock helplessly, soft whimpering noises were coming from it, but where was the adult, the was no noise of agitation anywhere, he scanned the area, shoot and double shoot, the top of the paddock was smashed in, obviously where the rex escaped, he should have taken the sudden change in the paddock light more seriously, the power had indeed had gone out, and the rex was out, chaos had struck, he pulled out his pair of high powered binoculars, umm. There was tire tracks near the damage it looked almost as if a jeep crashed into it, well the was three jeeps out at the moment, Muldoon had one, Harding had one and then the stolen one, Harding was at the triceratops pen, and it was no where near the rex paddock, Muldoon couldn't have done it so it must have been the stolen car and who ever took that, was heading towards the dock. "Arnold, have you found Nedry yet" there was static then " No, the technicians have looked everywhere we cant find him" there was some noise in the background someone was talking to Arnold and it sounded urgent " We have some news, one the security guard saw Dennis take a jeep, and Wu has just informed me that one of each of his embryos had gone missing, I think there's a link" it didn't take long for Muldoon to piece it together " Okay Arnold thanks" so Dennis had gone missing, embryos had gone missing, and he took a jeep to the west dock, well It didn't take a genius to figure it out " Muldoon" it was Arnold he sounded angry and worried " I just checked Dennis consol, he's been screwing with the system, that's why the fences are down, and the security doors and the cameras, and Wu has some other news, he left his hand held camera in the cold storage and it picked up an extremely large man entering and nicking embryos from the cold storage" Muldoon was worried Dennis had betrayed them, most likely to Biosyn they were going back to the main land with the embryos, the rex was out and Dennis was thought he was going to get away with it "Arnold, I think its time to call Hammond in"
The rex was close, Dennis knew it, but where, he was driving fast, bouncing and colliding with the dirt track, and he took at sharp turn he screeched to a halt, the rex loomed above him, grunting and searching, Dennis was shoot scared he just sat there, he reached for his radio " Hello" he waited, staring at the rex " Well, well, Dennis, hope you had fun at the west dock" Dennis went white how did they know " What do you want Dennis" it was Muldoon " Um. The t-rex is in front of me now" the rex was still there " Where are you Dennis" he looked around trying to locate himself "Near the west dock, I think" he heard a rumble over the radio, looking over the cliff, just a short drop down he saw Muldoon coming toward him and crew of game wardens following.
The crew stopped short of the t-rex, they more swiftly, slowly and quietly each moving into positions, they loaded the tranq guns and aimed for the neck, they waited silently Muldoon stepped up ahead, and grinned at the rex before shouting "Fire" the rex moved to the noise, each member simultaneously fired, one hit the rex, a couple missed, the rex roared, snapping at everything, "Fire" they reloaded and fired again, it was moving too much but they hit. They knew what was about to happen and quickly moved out the way, the rex swayed, and fell, the impact was enormous, hand clapped to ears, the rex grunted and emitted pitiful roars a deep crater formed beneath it, " Good work men, now lets get her beck to the paddock" Dennis left them to it and decided upon the main road back to the control centre
Hammond was furious " AND YOU ARE SURE IT WAS HIM" fuming that's what he was " We are positive sir, Nedry came into the cold storage and stole 15 embryos" replied Wu, and you, he turned to the guard " WHY DID YOU NOT CHALLENGE HIM" The guard looked down guiltily " Well he said he had permission from you, and he had a pass"
"DID YOU NOT THINK TO ASK ME"
"No sir" he looked down at the floor studying his shoes.
" AND WHAT DID HE DO WITH THE EMBRYOS?" Wu stepped forward " The camera caught him handing something over to the man on the boat"
" Right" said Hammond " As soon as he gets here, search him, search his room, search everywhere, if we cant find them they are on the boat." They all nodded and got on with what they were told.
"Sir" it was Wu " We have searched everywhere and we cant find them, we have searched Nedry and nothing, we have detained Dennis and he is going to be questioned by Muldoon with a lie detector machine, The embryos must be on the boat, there is no-where else they can be" Hammond pulled out a set of keys " Thank you Henry, now get me Raptor King" Raptor king poked his head round the door " You wanted to see me sir"
"Yes raptor king, 15 of Henry's embryos have been giving to a man on the boat, it needed to be stopped before it reaches the mainland" Raptor King nodded " The boat is to far away to catch it by boat, so we have to carry out plan B" he threw the keys over to Raptor King " Take my choppers, I want the boat blown out of the war" Raptor King nodded in agreement, " And take Gennaro with you, he needs something to do"
