DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JURASSIC PARK/ WORLD THEY BELONG TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

A/n: Sorry to keep you folks waiting I was on a writing cycle. And after updating some of my other fics I decided to update this one since the ideas keep flowing. I am home sick yet again, but this time it was a bad reaction to the cleaning and grinding of the cement at work. They were redoing the floors so it sent my sinuses on the loose and I nearly fainted. Luckily I have enough sick time to cover for my absence so it is not so bad. To pass up the time in bed I decide to write this chapter since it was swimming up there for some time.

Without further announcements I bring you the next installment of...

ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 07: Our Target Audience

JURASSIC PARK VISITOR'S CENTER

After a meeting with David Arnold the head of Jurassic Park Control. The inspection group made it down towards the main lobby. There Hammond was going on about the wonders the park would bring if they were allowed to open.

"GRANDPA!" a duo of voices said and Hammond's eye lit up like a Christmas Tree.

Alan and Ellie watched as two children came racing towards the old man and tackled him to the ground. Through the chatter Alan could make out the 'We love the ride!' and 'We love the presents you sent us grandpa!' they said.

Alan had to smile for the two children both brother and sister reminded him of the Grady's. Both Owen and his sister would often times tackle him when he comes to visit the dig with the dinosaurs.

Hammond laughed when he held his grandkids to him and told them to let him up. When they finally let their grandpa up he shook the imaginary dust off himself and put an arm around each grandchild. "Alright children are you ready to see what your grandpa has to offer?" he said.

The children gave their delighted cheers as they walked out with their grandfather.

Alan watched as they walked away and Ian had a frown on his face.

"Is there something wrong Dr. Malcolm?" Alan asked.

"There is always something going wrong. I can just see it this will end in disaster," Malcolm replied.

"Well you are the psychic lead the way Dr. Malcolm," Alan said gesturing with his hand in a sarcastic manner.

JURASSIC PARK TRICERATOPS PADDOCK

Jessie Harding rolled her eyes once again as Frankie went after another bug. This one was a butterfly that had some how gotten stuck on the front grill of the jeep. After trying to get the archeopteryx to return to his cage and failed miserably. Dr. Harding had no choice but to take him with him. The good thing was that Frankie likes Jessie's shoulder and the whole time he was treating the Triceratops the small dinosaur was busy catching bugs.

It was a good thing really since the mosquitoes were a pain to deal with. Frankie seemed to enjoy them as he hopped from one person to the next chasing the bugs.

Jessie had to laugh when he ate one that landed on the trike as well as ate a few ticks. It seems parasites do not differentiate between normal hosts and dinosaurs.

But it was still the same. Frankie ate his fill and then set to explore the area around him, or preen on Jessie's shoulder. The girl had to giggle when Frankie tried to irritate the others much to their protests. Jessie had to walk away from them in order for Frankie to behave.

"Come on you little pest," Jessie said to Frankie as the Archeopteryx flew back to her exposed arm for a nice size roach. Even though he did not eat it Frankie took the roach and tossed it out before preening.

"What ate too much?" Jessie teased as she stroked his feathers.

Frankie then preened himself some more as he was set to make his feathers look good.

"You are something else no wonder Dr. Grant calls you 'Little Shit!'" Jessie laughed.

Frankie gave a warble as he shook himself and continued to preen.

"Oh ha ha very funny," Jessie said as she reached up to stroke him.

OUTSIDE THE VISITOR'S CENTER

Tim would not stop asking questions. But then Alan is used to it seeing as Owen and his sister would do the same. The only difference was that Owen would shut up once Nico would come in, and the raptor would take the kids off of Alan's hands. He missed the Grady's and their kids. Maybe when this is over he can visit them in Washington.

With that thought he was having fun answering Tim's questions about the book that Alan wrote.

As he looked he noticed that Tim's older sister Lex was giving a star eyed look. One that he was familiar with back at the dig. He had to mentally groan on that one seeing as he'd get that often. Ellie was no help as she was giving Alan a hard time about it.

They were currently standing just outside the Visitor's Center waiting for their ride to begin the tour. Just as he thought about it two cars pulled up. Both of them modified Ford Explorers one that he was familiar with since he owned one back home in Montana.

The doors automatically opened allowing them to enter. The kids entered one car with Gennaro the Lawyer while he, Ellie, and Ian Malcolm entered the second vehicle. He could not be more enthused by it. Alan wanted to be with the kids since he found them a good distraction, but Ian wanted to discuss something with him. So he and Ellie entered the back vehicle to discuss their plans in private. When he entered he saw to his amusement that the camera above the rear view mirror was being harassed by the said mathematician.

Just as they seated themselves into the chair the car began to move. It was on autopilot since the steering wheel had a plastic plate blocking. The automatic voice of Richard Kiley was playing as they rode off towards the two impressive gates above.

JURASSIC PARK VETENARIAN CENTER

Dennis Nedry once again stood in front of the cage that contained that strange dinosaur that he had visited for a while. One of the dinosaurs that he was set on delivering to his secret employer on the mainland. He had once again had his fun with the creature smirking as the dinosaur now lay on the bottom of the cage. It was heavily drugged so it was unaware that Nedry had his fun with the animal. Nedry placed the stick he used to poke the animal on the side then continued to taunt the animal. As he was taunting the animal

he could hear footsteps in the hallway meaning that someone was coming. He quickly stepped out and made his way back towards the control room. But not before grabbing something to eat along the way.

When he left he was unaware that the drug was not totally effective and that the dinosaur in question was giving him a hateful glare. One that promised much pain and death should the two crossed paths yet again.

JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM

"Where have you been you're late!" Ray Arnold yelled at Dennis when he entered the control room.

"Sorry I had to use the bathroom and grab something to eat. I was running late after all." Dennis replied as he sat down at his station. He then went through and quickly deleted the video footage of his visit to the vet's center playing the film on loop and purposely changing the time to make sure that he was not discovered.

"Good now that you're here the tour has just started," Ray said as he lit another cigarette.

Nedry glared at him as he started typing away making sure the code was up to snuff. But that was not what he was also doing. He was making sure that his people were ready for tonight. It was the night that things are going to go down. As he looked at the satellite feeds a storm was making its way towards the islands. So he was not too surprised that things are going to get ugly. But it also brought the perfect opportunity to strike. He was on a deadline so he has to make sure that everything was in place. Nedry then grabbed his phone and called a number.

"Is everything in place," he said on the line and when Ray asked he only said he called Maintenance.

"Everything is in place just say the word and we will have the animals ready for transport." the person on the other line said.

"Good start the operation at five and I will be there at seven," Nedry replied and there was an affirmative on the other end.

Nedry then hung up the phone and continued to type.

Everything was going according to plan.

MEANWHILE

Alan was not having a good time. The dinosaurs were supposed to show up, but so far both the T-Rex and the Dilophosaur did not show up. But Alan expected that much from the Dilophosaurs since they are more nocturnal hunters like the raptors. The T-Rex judging from the time of day and the heat he could just say that they are resting. Rosco often did that when it was too hot out. And judging by the humidity there is a storm brewing. His instincts never lied to him.

"So Dr. Grant now that we are alone want to tell me what is going on? I mean I've tried to listen to the conversations you've had with Hammond but I am left in the dark. And what is up with that dinosaur back there?" Ian Malcolm said to him.

Alan sighed, "Up until two months ago I've had six dinosaurs at my disposal. I've had them since they hatched about five years ago. Then they were stolen. A bunch of guys came over with guns knocked my ass out and stolen my animals. Hammond when I've gotten a hold of him had the same problems. His animals are being stolen and we want them back. My animals are family to me and they are the only kids I've got." Alan replied.

"It seems like they love you as much as you love them," Ian replied.

"Of course they do! Alan has raised them himself and built his house to suit their needs. You should see them they are possessive of him...well and the Grady kids. But still they are possessive they love him, children and everyone that lives around the ranch he owns. You see they are not contained like these animals are. They were free to roam around as they see fit. The only reason they stayed is because they loved Alan. You should see Rosco his T-Rex the lug that he is, is like a cat wanting attention," Ellie said.

"I see so you two are here trying to find these missing dinosaurs?" Ian asked.

"Well we found one and Robert was the one who save the second one. So far that is two and Hammond told us they are here. They confirmed it so now we need to find the rest and then deal with the thieves." Alan replied.

"Well I can tell you one thing Chaos is on your side today," Ian said as he sat down.

"So you are not going to say anything else?" Alan asked.

"Well I can help since In-Gen has hired me to inspect the park. So far I am not impressed and know that this park will fail. Already I see so many things that can go wrong with it. Things I really hate to do because for one like you said they should not be contained. They can be taught to avoid cars and people, but not contained like this. From what I see this is neglect and Man's version of arrogance," Ian said.

"I take it you're religious?" Alan said.

"My mother was Catholic. Days like this I wish I had my kids with me," Ian replied.

"You have kids?" Ellie asked.

"About four of them," Ian replied.

Just then the cars passed the Triceratops Paddock Alan noticed some activity going on. While the car was moving he quickly exited the vehicle and went down to see what the commotion was about.

CONTROL ROOM

Alarms began to blare as the control room went into chaos. Ray had to quickly stop the tour just as both Alan and Ellie and then Ian quickly exited the vehicles heading towards the paddock. Hammond became alarmed while Nedry quickly typed away a new protocol to ensure that the vehicles stop immediately when a door was opened.

"I knew we should have put locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors!" Ray shouted as he argued with Hammond about safety. That gave Nedry plenty of time to put in the final protocols for his little surprise.

TRICERATOPS PADDOCK.

Alan stared in amazement at the Triceratops before him. It was obviously sick and he was sad to see it. But it was one of his favorite dinosaurs and it still is. He stroked her down as she looked at him pitifully. Ellie was just as amazed to see the Trike and she laughed when Alan laid down on the dinosaur and listen to its heart beat. It was a stunning sight to see as the man was obviously comforting the dinosaur.

It was then that Ellie got a good look at the mouth of the dinosaur. The tongue had puss vesicles meaning that she had consumed something poisonous. After about five minutes of walking around she spotted something that she knew was poisonous.

"Is this West Indian Lilac?" Ellie asked.

"Yeah," said a voice and Ellie shooks hands with Dr. Harding the chief vet.

"Do they?" Ellie did not finish their sentence when the vet shook his head, "The animals know their toxic so they don't eat them but this happens ever six weeks." Harding said.

"Every six weeks?" Ellie said remembering something she had seen before.

Then it hit her, "Alan!" she called to Alan who was busy comforting the animal.

"Yeah?" asked Alan.

"Didn't Tank get sick every six weeks at some point?" Ellie asked.

"Yeah every time she ate...oh I see," Alan said as Ellie nodded, "Hey Doc I noticed some rocks on the ground below the Lilacs do your Trikes ingest stones?" she asked.

"I see what you are saying let me check," Gerry said.

He then put his stethoscope on the belly of the trike and began to listen. Sure enough he could hear the sounds of something digesting.

"Yes I can hear them she does have stones. She must have digested the berries by mistake as well," Gerry said happy to finally solve that mystery. Why don't you have her eat something laxative to get her to expel the berries?" Ellie said.

Gerry was glad for the help as he and the staff began to dig up the plants and the berries.

When she gotten back to the animal she found to her shock the kids had also gotten out of the cars too. They were busy surrounding Alan as he rubbed the stomach of the Triceratops. The dinosaur rumbled low and she started to vomit.

When she was done Lex looked ready to puke herself but Ellie was not focused on her. Instead she was focused more on the contents of the Triceratops stomach.

Sure enough there was the stones and the berries.

"Well I'll be damned," said Gerry.

"Dad is everything alright?" said a new voice.

"Everything is fine Jessie," Gerry said.

Just then there was a screech and a shout and everyone turned just as Alan was trying to swat away a very excited Frankie.

"What the fuck! Frankie! Frankie you little shit! Come here!" Alan shouted as the archeopteryx landed on his head and looked down at him. Frankie then proceeded to nuzzle and give his attention to his long lost father.

"Alright you little troublemaker I miss you too," Alan said.

Frankie was busy preening Alan's hair as he stroked the animal down. Frankie let his displeasure at being separated known by leaving a very nasty, very smelly mess on Alan's shirt.

Jessie Harding could not help it but start laughing when she saw it. It was not on the back of Alan's shirt it was on the front and Frankie looked proud to do it too. The small little dinosaur was busy marking his father as he continued to show his affection.

"Alright Frankie you've had your fun now I am a smelly mess!" Alan said.

Frankie only chittered a reply.

"Frankie come here you are driving Dr. Grant nuts!" Jessie tried to get to the animal but he only flew off and around Ellie before landing on Lex's shoulder. He hissed as he raised his tail before crooning to Lex who looked very nervous. Frankie then started to twitter and settled down on her shoulder. His whistle made Jessie giggle as she came closer.

"Don't worry he is not going to bite Dr. Grant is just his owner. He likes you so he won't poop on you," Jessie said.

Lex turned to the little guy as he sat down on her shoulder. He then started to whistle the theme song for the Swat Kats. Tim started to laugh and Lex had to smile. As she slowly reached up.

"Wait don't pet him like that do it from underneath like this," Jessie said showing her how to pet Frankie. Lex did so earning another warble. Frankie leaned into the touch while giving Alan a glare.

"Alright already I am sorry for not being there for two months am I forgiven now you little demon?" Alan said.

Frankie gave Lex a peck to the lips before flying back to Alan. The girl in question was stunned as Jessie and Tim started laughing.

"Alright now you Casanova that is enough out of you," Alan said while Frankie warbled a trill. He then hung upside down on Alan's outstretched arm and fluffed his feathers.

"Cool what is he?" asked Tim getting closer.

"This is an Archeopteryx his name is Frankie," Alan said and watched as Tim slowly reached his hand out to Frankie. Frankie then bit the hand gently and then latched himself to him before climbing onto his arm.

"Whoa," Tim said surprised as Frankie took a good look at him. Shaking his feathers out he warbled a tune of his favorite cartoon song.

The sick Triceratops gave a deep rumble of her own as Gerry patted her down.

"Alright thanks for the tip Dr. Sattler we will be looking for the plant immediately and start pulling it out of the paddock," he said.

The Triceratops started to come to from her ordeal and Alan helped out by rubbing along her belly. She then gave a large belch before throwing up her stones and the berries that came with it.

"You know you could get stones of your own and put it in a spot where she can eat them so that way it saves you both time and money," Alan suggested.

"Really?" asked Gerry.

"Yeah bird farmers do it all the time and I used to do it with my Ankylosaur. It both saves you from having to look for the plant and it helps the animal out to have a spot to get stones," Alan suggested.

"I will look into it," Gerry replied.

In the meantime Frankie flew from Tim's shoulder to Alan's not wanting to get off. The man only sighed as he stroked his Archeopteryx and Frankie sat down happy to be back with his master.

"He sure is something else!" Jessie said to Alan.

"You have no idea," Alan replied.

CONTROL ROOM

Ray Arnold, John Hammond and everyone who was watching the people return to the cars gave a sigh of relief. Just as they did thunder began to boom overhead.

"So now we take them back towards the visitor's center?" asked Nedry whom was typing away at his station.

"Yeah," Ray replied.

Thunder rumbled overhead again signaling the approaching storm. After getting off the phone with the Coasta Rican National Weather Service Robert was nervous as Ray made the announcement for the boat.

"Do you want to leave Mr. Hammond?" asked Robert.

"No, I have to stay since my Grandkids are on that tour," said Hammond.

In the meantime Dennis was listening to the two men he began to make final preparations for departure. Getting up he made his excuse to go to the bathroom and walked towards the restrooms. When no one was looking he made his way over to the phone booth just near the main exit.

He dialed a number and gotten a response.

"Is everything ready?" Dennis said.

"Si everything is ready," said a voice.

"Good wait till sundown the storm will provide you with cover and then move out to get the animals. I want them all accounted for before I meet up with you," Nedry replied.

"Understood Senor will do," the voice replied on the other end.

"Remember after sundown you will know when to move out once I pulled the switch. I have my boys here waiting to get the animals from in the cages and meet you near the East Dock," Nedry replied.

There was a grunt on the other end, "Understood,"

With that Nedry hung up the phone went back to the bathroom and then headed towards the Control room. He can't wait to leave this place behind.

Good Bye Jurassic Park

TBC

A/n: It has been a while but I finally updated this chapter. And boy things are starting to heat up. Now as you've all noticed I have been combining elements from the book, the movie and the game into this story. I figure mixing it up a bit helps to build the story better. Now that we established our plot for the first part better keep you undies on because the next chapter is about to get intense. So stay tuned.

So as always leave a review and no FLAMES, BASHINGS AND LORE MONGERS thank you very much.
