Nublar: The helicopter came to a rest on the helipad as the DRT emerged and quickly fanned out to the secure the area. After giving the clear, Jake, Henry, and Timothy emerged and Jake walked over to the cockpit as the blades came to a halt and the noise died down.

"Jen, Kevin; stay for as long as you can but if it gets hairy here and you've got to go then go. We won't hold it against you and we'll just try and radio Sorna or Indigo and arrange an alternate means of getting off of here," said Jake. Kevin and Jan, the pilot and co-pilot respectively gave him a bittersweet thumbs up and Jake nodded his head and headed off to the damaged jeep nearby.

"What've you got?" asked Jake curious as he looked at the damage on the thing as the DRT Leader closed the hood.

"Cosmetic damage thankfully. Otherwise she should be good to go, she has enough gas to get us to the Visitors Center at least," the Leader answered. "Hop in."

The group squeezed into the back as Jake took the passenger's seat and produced a promotional tour map.

"I hope this tour map is accurate, I don't really remember what roads were built yet and which weren't," Jake reluctantly admitted. The DRT leader looked at him a little dismayed as the jeep drove through an opened gateway in the fence.

"You're telling me you have the most experience on this island but you don't know how to get around?" was the incredulous question.

"Hey don't blame me, I usually took the shuttle from the docks and the few times I did drive around, well…," Jake trailed off at that as Henry laughed.

"He got us lost," the other scientist answered. Timothy chuckled at that as the DRT team began to look more worried.

"That is a vicious lie, I got us exactly where I wanted to be," Jake responded huffily.

"I don't remember being chased by triceratops as having been our original destination," remarked Henry as the jeep passed a group of brachiosaurs out on the plains.

"I said I wanted to see the triceratops before we left the Visitors Center and it only happened once!" Jake shot back, partly admitting the truth. "Besides, you want to talk about lost; Hammond got us lost inside one of the electrical power sheds and he had the floor plan with him."

"That he did, that he did," Henry conceded. "But there's really only one road to the Center from the helipad that I can recall so we should be fine."

The jeep moved on.

Helipad: Kevin was looking through his binoculars down the one road that led to the helipad as Jennifer paced nervously behind him.

"Would you relax, no matter what comes up that road we'll have more than enough time to take off before it gets here," Kevin said trying to calm her down.

"Sorry, it's just why couldn't we have flown to the Visitors Center instead?" she complained lightly.

"Because we could have spooked the dinosaurs and potentially tipped off some of the more unruly ones to the team's location," Kevin explained. "The air route to the helipad was specifically chosen by InGen planners for the first reason I listed. Besides, this is easily the most strategic point on the whole island thanks to these canyon walls and the waterfall behind us. We'll be fine."

"Okay," said Jennifer not entirely convinced as she finally stopped moving and leaned against the helicopter fuselage. Behind them in the river the water began unexpectedly churning and bubbling.

San Diego, InGen Waterfront Complex: Peter Ludlow sat in his chair extremely stressed over the stories he had just gathered from the survivors of the Jurassic Park incident. He and his team of lawyers were trying to decide how to best threaten the survivors from a legal standpoint to never divulge their stories to the public or the press and it was during a brief recess that he found himself at his office when a knock was heard.

"Yes?" he asked as Daniel Ross, one of the partners of InGen's contracted legal firm stuck his head in.

"You're going to want to see this," he told him. Ludlow groaned heavily at whatever this new event was and popped a couple of aspirin before getting up. He followed Ross through a couple of hallways before emerging in the control room of the InGen Complex and a particular monitor.

"And what am I looking at?" he asked, too extremely tired to care. On the screen was an image of some stairs with pools of water on each side and below the stairs was a roadway with a metal track on it and a yellow and green explorer on one side.

"This is a remote feed to Island Nublar currently showing the front of the Visitors Center and why it's important is about to become clear," Ross told him in his ever cold voice. As Ludlow continued to watch disinterested, his eyes slowly widened as a red striped jeep came to a halt in front of the explorer and he saw Jake Whitacre, Henry Wu, and some other workers hop out and begin looking around.

Ludlow's ensuing shout was heard throughout almost the entire complex.

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING ON THAT ISLAND?"

Nublar, Visitors Center: "See, I told you we'd make it," said Jake triumphantly as he stretched from the long ride.

"Well we all get lucky sometimes," Henry quipped as he began unloading his gear. He too looked around at the location he'd only been a couple days prior and from his perspective it looked almost the entire same. Save for the tour vehicle now facing them.

"That's strange Hammond would only send one vehicle for the guided tour, that must've been cramped," Jake remarked offhand. "They even left the passenger and driver's side doors open."

Jake walked up to the vehicle and noticed the grass stains on the sides of the two doors as if they had encountered numerous pieces of foliage on the way back.

"I don't think we should really be touching anything, Ludlow may want a full investigation performed on this island," Henry remarked. Jake was about to close the doors but halted his actions at that statement.

"Fine," he conceded and left the vehicle the way it was. "Although I doubt one tour vehicle with its doors open is going to blow this case wide open."

One of the DRT members produced a camera and began snapping photos of everything important as the team walked up the steps.

San Diego: "They're going to contaminate the investigation," Ross warned as they watched the team pass underneath the camera and out of range while the worker at the station tried to find an alternate camera inside the complex to further view their actions. The new image showed the team in the lobby covering their noises and gathering around the dead raptors corpses while also noting the destroyed skeletons and the fallen banner.

"Jake always was a meddler," Ludlow agreed, annoyed as the other lawyers filtered in upon hearing what was going on. "I just can't figure out why he's there in the first place."

"Perhaps he was another saboteur?" asked one of the other lawyers.

"As much as I wish that were the case, if both of our chief scientists were collaborating with whoever Nedry was, I doubt his actions would've been necessary in the first place," Ludlow said dismissively. He was slowly calming down from his earlier outburst, but still somewhat irate that Jake, Henry and the rest had arrived before any cleanup teams from InGen could potentially erase any unwanted evidence that might fuel future lawsuits. A new image showed the team outside a security door to the control room and then Jake was seen taking his keycard and swiping it and the team entered.

"Dial them and send it to my office," Ludlow ordered making his way back to his office. He was going to have a long talk with Jake Whitacre about his unauthorized actions.

Nublar Control Room: Jake whistled loudly looking at the destroyed glass window and out at the stadium seating.

"I can only imagine what did this," he remarked. "Although I'd guess it was from one or both of those dead raptors out in the main lobby."

"You'd get no argument from me," the DRT Leader commented. Jake then walked underneath a broken ceiling tile that had fallen from up above and then looked at the knocked over stepladder and the rifle with three shell casings nearby.

"But maybe the window could've been shot out and then the gun discarded," Jake amended seeing as he couldn't find any bullet holes anywhere.

"No, I don't believe three shells could collapse the whole window. Besides that, look at the way these keyboards are crushed or strewn aside. I'd say there was a raptor outside the window, somebody shot at it and then it came through the window and landed on the desk here," the Leader pointed out. The other team member from earlier continued snapping photos as the others took up defensive positions around the room while Timothy began working at Nedry's terminal.

"Not a dilo?" asked Jake a little nervously. The Leader shook their head.

"No evidence of venom globs," was the response as the Leader went to consult with his team as Jake made his way over to Henry and Timothy.

"Anything?" he asked, hopeful. Timothy shook his head.

"They reset the system so I have no idea what happened," he said apologetically. "But judging from all the junk on the floor, I'd say Ray was sitting here and shoved it all off the desk."

Jake peered over the side of the desk and noticed the mess.

"Well then where was Nedry while that was happening?" asked Jake confused. "Do you think he was at the vending machines when the raptors broke in?"

"We can't find any trace of him on the security cams in the complex, it's like he just disappeared," Timothy responded perplexed. And then the phone started ringing startling everyone. Jake looked at Timothy asking a silent question of anyone still being alive on the island after all of this, but the technician did a quick search of the phone logs and found where it was coming from and told him.

"Bob's fish shack, you kill 'em I grill 'em, how can I help you?" asked Jake into the phone as Henry and Timothy chuckled at that.

"I'm only going to ask this once, what are you doing on that island?" demanded Ludlow in a menacing voice.

"Oh you know, I heard the park was open and that the tour was unfortunately to die for so I thought I'd stop by and see for myself," Jake responded mockingly. He could almost feel the heat radiating from Peter through the phone.

"I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me what really happened here?" Jake asked further.

"The official report will come out when it is ready and not a moment before," was the non-response he got. "But it will need an uncontaminated site to be completely accurate."

"Well I think I can take a broad guess as to what happened," Jake interjected. "Someone sabotaged the system, the fences failed, the dinosaurs got loose, people died, and the system was reset so they'd be able to escape. Am I right?"

"I cannot confirm nor deny-," began Ludlow when Jake visibly groaned.

"Well I can confirm this, goodbye Pete," said Jake as he prepared to put the phone back on the receiver.

"Don't you dare hang-…."

CLICK

"I bet he's thrown the phone by now," Jake responded almost immediately. The phone began ringing again and he subsequently unplugged it from the wall.

"Okay, now he's thrown the phone," Jake amended. "Timothy, I think Pete doesn't want us finding out what happened here and I doubt he'll ever tell us what did either so we are now forced to conduct our own investigation. Let's get what we came for and then get started."

"Right," Timothy responded affirmatively. "I'll do some digging on the computer and see if I can piece together anything useful after I've either given the go ahead or decided otherwise on the synch with Sorna. Unfortunately, with the power shutoff, I doubt I'll find anything concrete as to why the security systems failed. But we'll see."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to see the security monitors of the compound to verify we do not have any hostiles in the area," the Leader requested.

"Of course," Timothy responded as he got up and walked over to Ray's station and began setting it up to receive the feeds.

"In the meantime let's go Henry," said Jake as he picked up some of the equipment they had brought and headed for the security door.

"2, 3, go with them," ordered the Leader as the DRT members followed after them out the door.

"Look, when we get into the laboratory, don't touch anything," Henry requested. "Dr. Whitacre and I know what needs to be done and this place is supposed to be primarily a sterile area so the less contact you make with the equipment the better."

Henry flashed his card to the scanner and the door opened and then the group entered into the airlock. They were immediately sprayed with a combination of water and air from a few sprayers for decontamination and then they entered into the lab proper. The two scientists then worked their way to a nearby table and placed their steel cases on it and popped them open and slapped on some facemasks and plastic gloves.

"Well at least this place still looks like it should," Henry commented looking around at the emptiness of the place.

"It just doesn't make any sense, though. By my count the only InGen personnel that were left after the boat took off were John, Ray, Robert, and Dennis...and maybe Gerry. But that makes no sense that they would only leave four or five people on staff, especially during an important tour," said Jake shaking his head as he brought another case with him to the egg chambers. "Something's not right about that and I can't figure out what it is."

"I'm just as mystified as you are old friend," Henry agreed. "I've been thinking about it too and everyone I've spoken to was told by the administration at some point that they were to be on that boat. From the scientists to the day laborers, I just can't imagine why."

"I don't think we'll want to know when we finally find out," Jake commented ruefully as they began checking the eggs that had remained behind. Thankfully none of them had hatched in the prior day or so and now the scientists were checking to make sure the fetuses inside were still intact after all the craziness. Some unfortunately weren't and the eggs were then separated to either be returned to Sorna or put in the incinerator. Once the eggs were divided, Jake dumped the bad eggs into the fire chute as Henry packed up the good ones into a case that acted as an egg warmer.

"None of those eggs seemed missing to you, did they?" Jake asked as he finished his work.

"Hey, it's Indigo's job to make sure people aren't taking dinosaurs home as pets, not me," Henry joked. "You know, I've really got to hand it to Hammond when he led that tour. Remember how he specifically wanted an egg to hatch when he led the group through here? I remember we had to tediously scan through hundreds of eggs to see which would roughly hatch that weekend."

"Did it work?" Jake asked, curious. Henry nodded his head.

"It did and I couldn't believe it. I had to stay nearby and just ignore the egg that was constantly shaking in the hope that someone on the tour would. They did notice and their joy over the whole process made them never question the fact that the possibility of such an event happening at that point in time was a statistical unlikelihood. But Hammond sold it like no other and like I said, they bought it hook, line and sinker."

Jake nodded his head, amused. "Did Hammond give that whole 'I've been present for the birth of every living creature on this island' schpiel like he did when he forced us to take that mock tour with him?"

"Ha, ha, yes he did," Henry laughed. The dry run tour had been particularly memorable because one of the other scientists on the tour had decided to show off his juggling abilities with the fake eggs that had been present on the incubator table. The resulting fast motion caused the egg turning arm to go haywire and it began throwing off sparks as it began spinning around rapidly like a helicopter trying to take off.

"You know, I've got to hand it to Lori," said Jake in reference to Lori Ruso who was in charge of production back on Sorna. "How she managed to condense the entire cloning and birthing process that we have on Sorna that requires entire buildings into basically this one room here on Nublar while still maintaining a reasonable success rate for a dinosaur to actually be born is beyond me."

"She knows her stuff," Henry agreed, also amazed at her comprehensive and unique understanding of the Dinosaur Revivification Process that dwarfed anyone else's. "Even the most hardened skeptic who came to this island would have a hard time convincing others that we were primarily making the dinosaurs elsewhere. Even the embryos are real."

"And speaking of…," began Jake as he tipped his head towards the embryo chamber above them.

"Right," Henry agreed as he grabbed another case and the two walked up the steps to the embryo freezing chamber. Jake swiped his card and the duo entered into the chamber and then closed the door behind them.

"I'd forgotten how cold it is in here," Jake remarked as he shivered. Henry groaned.

"Do you always have to make that joke? It's not that cold in here, only the freezing chambers that house the embryos are below freezing," he commented before lifting the two chamber cylinders up. Jake meanwhile walked over to the security camera and tapped it a couple times before walking over to check on the liquid nitrogen tanks.

"Hey, Jake, you'd better take a look at this," said Henry from behind him. The scientist turned around and walked over to the chambers as Henry pointed at the embryo slots and how one entire row from each chamber was missing. Outside, the DRT members couldn't hear a word Jake said because the chamber was soundproof, but from his body language it was clear he wasn't pleased with what he saw.

San Diego: "Blast," said Ludlow as they watched Jake ranting while Henry had a similar angered expression on his face at the missing embryos. "It is as we suspected, Nedry absconded with InGen property while the security systems were down."

"The next question being did he manage to get them off the island," Ross responded.

"Well he was not on the boat, I know that much," Ludlow answered. Their investigation was still in the preliminary stages but they'd done as much as they could from currently interrogating the survivors to investigating what records they had on file. "Although he could have handed it off to a third party on the boat instead, that remains to be seen."

"Then we had better get that investigation team over there as soon as possible," Ross told him. "Every minute that passes makes the truth that much harder to determine."

"I'm working on it, but it is not that simple what with the specimens running loose and not being able to guarantee the team's safety," Ludlow told Ross. "But I'll get it done as quickly as possible. In the meantime…"

Nublar: "Nedry you stupid fool!" shouted Jake irate. "You betrayed us all for what, one and a half million?"

"If all those embryos were viable that he made off with then they would've been worth at least two million," Henry answered. "And that's a conservative estimate because they're probably worth considerably more since we're talking fifteen species' embryos being housed here."

"Oh if he's not dead already, I'll kill him myself," Jake stated ruefully. Henry nodded his head as he produced a small handheld freezer unit and began loading up the remaining capsules before tossing a second to Jake who began removing them from the second unit.

"I hate to say this, but Ray could just as easily…," Henry began and then stopped when Jake shot him a look. "I'm just trying to be objective as a scientist. Remember we haven't found his body either."

His friend let out a deep breath he'd been holding in. "No, you're right. I shouldn't blame Nedry without proof."

The two finished loading the embryo capsules and exited the storage room closing the door behind them.

"I'll need to check the embryos for viability," Henry told Jake heading over for a scanning station.

"Yeah and I need to head for kitchen. Alejandro said that if I bring him back his favorite apron he'll actually make a hamburger for me," said Jake salivating at that prospect. Henry laughed hysterically at that seeing as Jake and Alejandro had been at war with each other over Jake's mundane orders and Alejandro's background as a gourmet chef who felt such things were beneath him.

"I'll want one too," his friend called out to him and Jake gave him a light salute as he prepared to leave the room.

"I don't think we should split up," said DRT Two. Jake waved off that concern.

"Either come or don't, but I'm getting that apron," he responded and was gone from sight. Two sighed and chased after him as Jake emerged into the main lobby and crossed the assortment of dinosaur bones littering the floor and went straight into the dining area headed for the kitchen.

Unnoticed behind him, the bones slowly began shifting rhythmically as if some unseen pounding from far away was causing them to move.

Helipad: "Hey, Kev?" asked Jennifer. Kevin was still staring through the binoculars down the road.

"Yes," he asked annoyed at her constant fretting.

"They didn't clone any water dinosaurs did they?" she asked. Kevin groaned inwardly at her jumping at shadows.

"Yes, I know there's some on Sorna, but why do you ask?" the pilot inquired.

"Because I don't think water churns this normally from just a waterfall," Jennifer commented concerned. Kevin's blood turned cold.

"Oh, no," he said not willing to believe it as an ichthyosaur came hurtling out of the water and collapsed next to the helicopter. Jennifer and Kevin were about to run when they noticed the animal was barely moving and had cuts and tears all along it as it bled all over the helipad.

"What could have done this?" asked Jennifer looking over the thing with a bit of sympathy for the creature.

"I think we're about to find out," said Kevin pulling her away from the thing as a giant croc from the prehistoric era erupted from the water and landed on the helipad on top of the ichthyosaur before roaring triumphantly over its catch. And then it noticed the two humans standing nearby and charged in for the kill.

Nublar: "I wonder what caused this?" asked Jake to the DRT member as he looked at the door to the freezer that had been completely knocked off of its hinges.

"Probably whatever wrecked the kitchen," the DRT member commented looking at the pots and pans all over the place. "From the looks of things it was walking along the top of one of the counters here and then ran across the kitchen where it impacted with the far side."

"And then ran into the freezer on the opposite end of the room?" asked Jake doubtful as he examined the destroyed locking mechanism. "I'd say there were two raptors and one got locked in the freezer and escaped the hard way. Whether that means it's now one of the two out dead in the lobby or is our third raptor that is still unaccounted for, I don't know."

"And I'd rather not find out, so can we go now?" the member asked, hefting their weapon. Jake finished folding the apron and put it in his backpack.

"Yeah, let's move," he agreed, also wanting to regroup with the others.

THOOOMMM

And then the whole room shook throwing pots and pans everywhere.

"What the-?" began Jake.

THOOOMMM

"I think we'd better go," said the DRT member herding Jake out the door and into the dining area as another loud thud was heard and it caused the chairs and tables in the room to jump.

"Wait, don't go out into the lobby!" came a voice over the radio as it crackled to life just at the moment Jake and the member spilled out into the central area and found themselves confronted by a Tyrannosaurus Rex that was gnawing on one of the dinosaur bones.

"Well ladies and gentlemen let it never be said that Jurassic Park is not full of surprises," said Jake in a mock impersonation of an announcer. He was being flippant to avoid going into shock. "How do I know? It's because we spared no expense!"

The T-Rex opened its mouth and roared as the bone fell from its mouth and came straight at them.
