After hearing this Mike found himself sitting alone in the cabin. Darkness had fallen now, and he could hear the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, and thousands of crickets chirping in the forest.

"We have a problem sir, a group have already gone out into the forest".

"Oh God", came Jim's reply. After a brief period of silence, in which both men felt a feeling of fear, Jim asked, "When did they go, and who exactly is 'they'?"

"About half an hour ago, I'm not sure exactly who, but Sarah and your friend David are with them".

"Who's left on the boat then?", questioned Jim.

"Me and...uh...I would say about half of the crew, maybe more".

"Okay, now listen, get on the phone and call David, tell them to come back, and get to our location as soon as possible, no, in-fact, sooner than that", ordered Jim.

Jim hung up at that moment leaving Mike in a terrible state. It was all up to him now.

He stared at the daunting radar screen, and observed the inverted teardrop shape of Nublar. He showed up off the south-east coast of the island, but he could not tell where the others were.

Meanwhile, David and the rest of the group he was leading trekked on through the jungle. The air was humid, and a variety of inhuman noises coming from all around kept the whole group alert. He hacked through the vines and other vegetation that blocked the way.

"How far have we come?", asked a tired Sarah.

"Perhaps a few miles", answered David, "But I agree, it isn't easy in this climate".

"I'm just glad the dinosaurs are staying away, we haven't seen one yet have we?", said another member of the group, Peter Stiller. He was a dark haired bearded man of about 45, a lecturer in palaeontology, who had come on the trip with the intent of studying the dinosaurs, rather than destroying them.

"Well Tyrannosaurus can stay well away from me", said David, "How many are there on the island anyway?", he said turning to Sarah.

"Not sure, but there were originally two in the original park, but of course, because they bred there are likely to be a lot more...", she stopped talking for a moment and stared. They had come to a clearing, and over on the other side lay a building, a road running in front of it.

"I recognise that building", she said, then her face filled with anxiety, "We're not on Sorna, that's why we couldn't find Jim's boat, we're at the original park, where it all started".

"You look very worried, I'm sure we can still get to Sorna in time to save Hans", said David. But Sarah's expression didn't exactly make him feel comfortable.

"It's not that, everyone inside, we can seek shelter, I'll explain there, but not here", she rushed towards the building, the others followed in a mixture of confusion and fear. The building turned out to be the old visitor centre, where the original tour would have started.

Once everyone had entered the building and followed Sarah into the old laboratory, she calmed down a bit.

"Why, what's wrong, raptors?", asked David inquisitively, he wondered whether they may be the cause of Sarah's sudden panic. He wasn't too concerned of the fabled intelligent predators since he was armed, and as far as he was concerned, as long as he saw them first he could take care of them without too much hassle.

"No, no, but a creature of similar aggression", she paused.

David thought over this. He knew about the raptor's aggression and intelligence, but he did not realise however that Ingen would have cloned another dinosaur with those same traits, and use it as one of the fifteen original species in Jurassic Park.

"And what would that be?", spoke up another member of the group, a Russian man named Boris Ivanovitch. He hadn't slept very well the night before, and the stubble on his face showed that, and here he was, waiting to hear what Jurassic predator had given Sarah such a fright. From the look of things, he prayed that he would at least be alive that night.

"Metriacanthosaurus", she said.

"Never heard of it", replied the fifth member of the group, a brunette girl, similar in age to Sarah.

"Ah yes, I know what you mean Sarah, it was a theropod of the Late Jurassic, wasn't it?", said Peter, the name of the beast having been acknowledged by at least one other of the group, other than Sarah.

"That's right", she said.

"It was a Spinosaur, discovered in the Corallian Oolite Formation in Dorset, Great Britain, though it was thought to be more of an ancestor to the Spinosaur family", Peter went on, explaining the creature to the rest.

"Spinosaur? It had a fin?", enquired David.

"Not as such, its vertebrae had neural spines twice as long, similar to in an Allosaur, that's what Metriacanthosaurus means, 'Medium-Spine Lizard'", filled in Peter.

"And you say they were aggressive?", said Peter, asking Sarah.

"Yes, but the Spinosaurs that were bred as a rule tend to be..."

"You mean like that monster currently residing on Sorna", said Boris. He had read about Alan Grant's second journey to see dinosaurs in a Moscow newspaper.

"I was really referring to Baryonyx, another species that was created for the original park, though they mainly eat fish they should never be approached, but I don't think we need to worry about them here, they would be down by a river or other large water source", explained Sarah.

Everyone knew though that they would all eventually have to go back outside, so that they could return to the boat and arrive at the correct destination, and that invoked fear in the group".

"Hey, how should we get back if those things are lurking out there", asked Peter, who now saw a bigger picture.

"The same way we came in", replied the brunette who had acknowledged the beast in question as 'something she had never heard of'. Her name was Karen Kingsbridge, and she didn't like Sarah much at all. There was something about her, and also the fact that Mike Quinn, the clueless navigator, obviously had a crush on Sarah, whereas Karen herself had admired him from day one of the trip. Poor Mike she thought, he must be completely oblivious to the real social situation he is in.

"Well I definitely suggest a different route", said Sarah, "The one we took to get here was actually uncomfortably close to the Metriacanthosaur paddock, which is where I imagine their territory would be, and its probably why we didn't see anything on our journey here". She was uneasy being in charge of the group mainly due to here age, but since she knew about most of Ingen's species, she had no choice. Sarah then had an idea.

"Wait, if these computers still work we can locate every dinosaur on the island", she gestured towards the old PCs sitting in the lab, "Ingen had them all tagged you see, so that they would be easy to find if..."

"I don't think they would have left the power on, Sarah", commented Karen, who thought the idea highly unlikely due to that fact.

"We can but try", Sarah said with a smile, she turned to the nearest computer and switched it on. To everyone's amazement it worked. This got Peter seriously thinking. He thought back to years ago, when the catastrophe at Jurassic Park had occurred. He remembered hearing that a woman named Ellie Sattler had managed to get the power restored, but then everyone had evacuated the island. He was quite sure that the power would have short-circuited by now. As he pondered this, a pair of eyes from outside of the lab stared at him and the group through the window.

Sarah meanwhile had loaded up the interface, and had just opened the correct program when a loud clang came from outside the lab, which startled everyone. Everyone was silent, but no further noise came.

The computer screen showed a whole overlay of the island, which was covered in moving dots, almost all of them far from the Visitor Centre. There were a few quite close by however, too close in David's opinion; a couple of dots were shown just outside their location.

"The good news is that there are no Metriacanthosaurs nearby at all, however, those things outside are Herrerasaurs and quite a danger", she informed everyone; "I suggest we exit the building from the back, they look like they're not going anywhere". She opened a window on the screen, which showed the view through a security camera, and it displayed two dark green creatures standing around and sniffing at the air. About 3 metres in length they were similar in size and shape to a raptor, and could easily enter the building if they needed to. As Sarah opened the door to the lab, she noticed an equipment tray had fallen to the ground. That must have been what that noise was, she thought. The reality of the situation came fully to her now. The Herrerasaurs had probably seen them, and most likely been in the corridor, but they had obviously found no interest in the group, for the time being anyway. She stepped out into the corridor and looked through the entrance to where the creatures currently had their backs turned.

"Follow me", she whispered, "Down this hall, but tread quietly, if those things decide to come after us we've had it".

Though David was armed, he only had five shots, and he didn't want to waste them on the two creatures outside. He decided that he would probably be unable to draw a bead on them if they charged him anyway. The group proceeded cautiously, following Sarah down the corridor. Only when they reached a turn at the end of the hallway, and were safely concealed away from the eyes of potentially dangerous predators did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Back on Isla Sorna Herman's condition had been stabilized using drugs from the emergency medical storage. He lay there in the sand paralyzed, but awake. He looked up at his brother who sat eating what looked like a piece of barbequed chicken.

"Mmm Compy taste good", said Hans, "Don't worry; we've saved you a piece".

Herman could half believe it; his adventurous brother was eating the dinosaur that had earlier been shot, though he himself was unsure whether he would devour his share when he came to.

Sarah and the others stumbled in the dark. She had led them down a metal stairway and they were now walking around underground through a network of corridors; some dimly lit, others pitch black.

"I remember my uncle took me here when the park was still under construction", she explained to them, "This underground system will lead us to the North Dock; I'll call Mike on the satellite phone and tell him to manoeuvre the boat around to pick us up".

"If he can manage it", she then added with a slight laugh.

"The phone won't work down here", said Karen, as if to make Sarah seem a bit of a fool after she had done so to Mike.

"Of course", she replied, "There's an exit to the surface nearby, it leads into a second lab, I won't be a minute". Sarah made her way over to a door in the wall of the corridor, which she then opened to reveal another metal staircase, this one spiracle.

"I'll come with you", said Boris, "Just in case you require assistance". He pulled out a 54. pistol from a discreet holster, a souvenir from his Spetz Natz days, though he kept that piece of information to himself.

Sarah looked slightly annoyed however, probably because she wanted them all to think she was able to do the task herself, thought David.

They both emerged in the second lab, which was a lot tidier than the first. In fact it could easily have been in recent use due to the neatness of the equipment, which had been left carefully stacked, and papers arranged in neat piles on the surfaces. Probably wasn't in use during the disaster here, concluded Boris.

While Sarah made the call, he noticed a light coming from another room. He went to investigate, as he heard Sarah start talking to Mike.

The second room filled Boris with surprise. He had entered the old hatchery, but the equipment was still running. He saw to his amazement that a single egg lay under the light on one of the hatcheries. Without really thinking, he picked it up and hid it away, thinking it more cruel to leave a hatchling to abandonment, than have the danger of a monster emerge from it. He also spotted something else; it looked like a report or something similar. He picked it up and read.

Boris understood what was going on, though he wanted the report to have been merely a relic left by the lab workers when they evacuated the island back in 1993. It was evident that someone, somewhere, was still trying to clone dinosaurs successfully. However, he found it deeply disturbing that the list consisted of just carnivores. He also noticed that only the Metriacanthosaurs were shipped, whereas everything else was still being researched or had been taken as embryos. Where they were taken though, was unknown. He carefully hid the report and returned to where Sarah was just finishing her call with Mike.

"Okay", she said, "Mikes bringing the boat around, he should be there by the time we arrive at the North Dock compound". She and Boris then went back down below the surface, returning to a relative safety, but as they did so something caught Sarah's eye. Boris turned to look as well. A yellow pair of eyes were staring straight back at them. It was the Herrerasaur. And the door to the lab was slightly ajar too.

For a moment the two humans didn't move, they just stood in horror at the ancient predator. In a sudden movement another Herrerasaur appeared, eyeing up the humans. The Herrerasaurus, a Late Triassic predator, was one of the earliest dinosaurs. Its whole body was a dark green, and its jaws were full of curved teeth, which were ideal for grasping prey, and never letting go.

"On three...", whispered Sarah, who knew they couldn't stay in that position for ever, "One..."

One of the creatures suddenly let out a raspy snarling roar, and ran at the lab door. Since the door had been left slightly open in the first place, it came into the room quite easily, but tripped over its own feet. Its companion however, came inside with better balance and threateningly opened its jaws at Boris and Sarah.

"Go", she screamed.

The two ran for the staircase, pounding there feet against the metal steps as they rushed to get back into the labyrinth of underground corridors.

The others were clearly bewildered by the two who rushed off of the stairs and down the corridor, but clearly picked up on the fact that something was up. David turned to see one of the green theropods struggle to get down the stairs. It looked at him and let out another roar, which had a gurgled clicking sound resonating in the back of its throat. This made it sound truly ancient, and especially terrifying. The others followed suite, pursuing the moving shapes of Sarah and Boris off in the distance.

As he ran, David fumbled around with rifle bullets, trying to get one loaded into the weapon so that it could be used when needed. He dared not look back as he was the last person to have started running, and he knew he would be the first to be taken if the creatures caught up.

Herrerasaurus, though not as quick as the infamous Velociraptor, was still pretty fast. The two had managed to clear the stairs by now, and were chasing the humans with claws outstretched, so that the immediate grasp of prey could occur.

The corridor seemed to go on for ever; David could feel the lactic acid building up in his legs and a sharp pain develop in his side, but he dared not stop for a break. Behind him he could hear the sound of clawed feet hitting the concrete floor, and the harsh breathing from the creatures themselves. He estimated that they must be only a few metres behind.

At last the end of the corridor came into sight; but the method of escape didn't look too good. A ladder leading to the surface would prove tricky to climb up before the Herrerasaurs collided with the dead end. He could see Sarah clambering up towards the surface, the others doing likewise. As he reached corridor's end he braced himself, and leapt as hard as he could.

He came into contact with the welcoming steel of the ladder's rungs, and with not a moment to lose, hauled himself up and away from a fatal encounter. The two theropods smashed against the base of the ladder, and angrily looked up to see David climbing towards the surface. They let out another otherworldly roar, which sent a shudder down David's spine.

Mike had received Sarah's orders loud and clear, and was making his way toward the North Dock at that moment. The boat was commandeered by the Captain who had yelled at Mike earlier, but since Mike could understand simple compass navigation there was no shouting at present.

The boat was going at full power up around the island heading north, and then veering off to the west. The first dock they came across was actually the east dock, but Sarah had thoughtfully told them precise orders, "Go up to the north and sail around the coast, then stop at the second dock you come across and we'll be waiting there", she had said.

Mike hoped he would impress her by making sure that the boat reached the North Dock as quickly as possible.

David emerged out into the darkness, to be greeted by Peter.

"Thank God you made it Mr Bren, we were afraid for a minute there that they had got you".

He was then approached by Boris who apologised to him.

"Sorry David, if there had been time to explain the full situation I would have done so; I just hoped you would get the message and run".

"That's okay", said David gasping. The run for his life had been indeed exhausting, but he was glad he had managed it without firing a shot, "But I think I'll keep this thing loaded at all times, for when we reach Sorna", he then said.

Everyone smiled and was just generally glad to be alive.

Sarah then came back to the group; she had been down at the end of a jetty looking for the approaching boat. She had sighted it and told everyone to wait down at that end.

They complied, but as they were setting off a terrifying roar erupted out of the jungle. It was the roar of a Tyrannosaurus, though the only person who knew that was Sarah.

Whatever it was, it must be big, thought David. He stood with the others at the farthest end of the jetty, impatiently waiting for the boat to pull up alongside, so that they could all board and regroup with the others on Sorna.

His experience at Nublar had taught him a lesson in impressions. After the Herrerasaur chase, his opinions on raptors changed dramatically, and he began to dread any encounter with one.
