ALAN'S DINOSAURS
Chapter 09: Jail House Rock
T-REX PADDOCK ISLA NUBLAR
Tim could have sworn he had heard something. The ground had shook, but he thought it was from the passing thunder.
The hour was late and the sun had already gone down. They were stuck in the cars waiting for the storm to let up some so they can head for shelter. But unfortunately they are trapped, and being trapped meant that they had to wait out the storm. The winds continued to pound on the fence and the cars. Tim loved storms and he loved this adventure, but he did not like the rocking that the storm was doing to the cars.
The winds were not relenting one bit as the car bucked and heaved. But at least the braces underneath that held the car on the track still held. Lex was shaking as she was hovering down in the seat. Tim reached over and took her hand showing her his fear. The only other person in the car with them was Gennaro. The Lawyer was grumbling under his breath about the safety features of the park and how he was going to grumble about it to their grandfather.
Lex was very frightened right now as she held Tim's hand in a death grip when the wind picked up again.
"Can you at least be quiet while I am thinking!" Genaro said over the kids whimpering.
Lex slid lower into her seat and Tim had to crawl to her to keep her calm. Because if she was frightened then he was scared too. Being only nine years old Tim curled up to is older sister and gave her a hug. Lex held onto Tim feeling it too there was a feeling of wrongness to it.
THE OTHER CAR
Alan and Ian watched the car in front of them from what they could see. They had to constantly wipe away the fog on the windows to keep an eye on the kids. Ian was a bit apprehensive especially when it came to the kids and that Lawyer.
"Do you think they are safe there with Gennaro?" he asked.
"No, but it is too dangerous to go out there and check. As soon as this storm lets up a bit I will go check up on them," Alan replied.
"Good its agreed then," Ian replied.
"Yeah," Alan answered back.
MEANWHILE
Tim looked up just as the fence began to wilt under the winds torrents. He barely had time to yell before the pole came down and land on the car. The children screamed while Genaro fell out of the accidentally opened door.
The glass broke from above causing the kids to scream in fear. Genaro did not stay for long as he ran towards the shelter. The wind pounding on his form as he ran and hid in the nearby bathrooms.
THE OTHER CAR
Both Ian and Alan rushed out of the car just as the pole came crashing down on the first car. The first thing that flew through their minds was the kids as they raced towards them. Lightning struck above in the dark sky as it hit the nearby poles. Ian and Alan did not hesitate to reach the children just in time and began to pull them out.
As they pulled the children out they failed to hear the footsteps that were approaching.
JURASSIC PARK CONTROL ROOM
"Hammond you have got to see this!" said Ray Arnold as he pulled out a chair.
Hammond sat down just as Ray pulled up Nedry's screen.
"What the hell is this?" Hammond said.
"This is the reason why Nedry cut the power. He wanted all of us distracted from finding out his real plans," said Ray.
"Stealing the dinosaurs," Robert replied.
"Don't forget my Embryos," Wu replied.
"We worry about Nedry later right now we have to get this park online before..." right when he said it an alarm went off and the fences around the park began to fail.
"Oh no," Robert said.
ON THE ROAD
A transport van raced down the winding road. The winds howling across the skies, but this vehicle is weighed down enough that it was not going to blow away anytime soon. The hard compacted earth even though it was full of mud will not slow it down as it raced its way towards the east docks. Inside the van was a cage with a single animal in it.
That animal was slowly starting to come to as yellow eyes began to open slowly. The two crests on its head were a clear sign that something about this animal was dangerous. It was with luck that the occupants of the van had thought to put restraints and a muzzle on the animal just in case it woke up.
Spitz the Dilophosaur was not having a good day. Where was the doctor? Where was the nice girl that always gave him treats? And the man who was helping him heal? Where was he? Last the dilophosaur remembered was protecting the man from those intruders before everything went black. Were they safe? Where was daddy? And Rosco, and Nico, and Tank, and Sarah, And Frankie? He was so confused when he woke up.
The sound of voices had gotten to the Dilophosaur. He could barely make them out because his head was so foggy. As his mind cleared however he suddenly realized that he was in a transport vehicle. He remembered those from when Daddy sent them out to play games in new places. Or when he was going to the loud place with lots of nice people.
Spitz did not like this cage what so ever. It was cold and uninviting, unlike the ones he is used to with the leaves and moss and good stuff. He did not like this cage at all. He wanted out and he wanted his family.
Right now however his mind was sluggish and he tried to move, but his muscles felt heavy. He remembered feeling like this when daddy had to do something...oh he remembers Spitz had hurt his tooth and daddy made him sleepy to help with the pain. When he woke it was gone and Spitz felt better. Even though he is not as smart as Nico or Frankie, Spitz does have a good memory.
And right now he wanted out of this cage.
He tried to get his muscles to move but they would not.
"Hey man I think that thing is coming around," said one man.
"Don't worry that shit is going to last a while so he won't be moving anytime soon," said the second one in the van.
"Yeah that shit can knock over an elephant or a rampaging rino. He must be really high right now," said the first man.
"Haha yeah a real drug addict hehehe," the second man said.
RAPTOR PADDOCK
"Alright we got the last one lets go!" said one of the handlers.
They had tranquilized the entire Raptor Pack by feeding them during the storm knowing they would be the most dangerous animals to handle. Seeing as they are intelligent their inside guy in the Paddock gave them the right tranquilizers to knock them out.
They were the last of Nedry's group to get going seeing as it took a while to get the right dinosaurs. As soon as they were tranquilized they moved in to take the male. The only male in the pack.
He was off to the side and a bit thinner then the rest of the pack. They moved in to take this one. They did not know that the pack did not eat the meat. Big One had been clever in hiding that fact. She knew what they were that is why Muldoon had used trickery to fool the pack. They opened the doors and made to move in.
All too soon the pack on on them tearing into them and consuming their flesh.
All but one.
Nico watched as the men get slaughtered while slinking quietly out the door of the paddock. He had to find daddy, he had to. He was sure that dad was in trouble as he raced away from the paddock towards freedom and the jungle.
As he raced away he picked up another scent this one familiar as well. Sniffing the air his head feathers went up...mom! They have mom somewhere.
Sniffing he knew that she stood no chance against the raptors, and even though the smell was faint he would find her. Sniffing the ground he took up the hunt racing away from the pack as fast as he could.
T-REX PADDOCK
The children were safely inside the second car and even though they took a hard scare they were fine. The pole's continued to drop as they were ready to bolt from their car.
It was suddenly they saw the lightning flash across the fence again this time melting some of the wires. The goat at this time broke its chain and had long since ran off into the jungle. They all saw it leave in fear as the lightning flashed again.
What they failed to see was the tail that followed.
Thunder and lightning continued to crash as the winds started to wane but only so much. The kids huddled together hoping for some sort of comfort in each other. Alan had moved to the back seat along with Ian to help get the kids warm. The winds had rocked the car a bit so it was leaning. Thankfully it had stopped. But they could only hope that the power came back on soon or else they were in trouble.
The winds continued to die down but as Alan looked up they were not in the clear yet.
"Dr. Grant what is going on?" Tim asked.
"We are in the Eye," Alan said nervous because he knew that with storms if you are in the eye. Then that means when the winds return it is going to hit you harder then before. So he had to look for shelter before it happened.
Unfortunately things were not in their favor. When the winds died down the screaming started.
They knew immediately it was Gennaro screaming for his life when it was ended so suddenly. Something had gotten to him and that frightened the kids. They huddled closer together as the adults try to comfort them.
What is going on? They all wondered.
Suddenly the ground began to shift a bit as lighting flashed again revealing a very menacing looking shadow over them. Lex was going to scream when Alan quickly put his hand on her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Do not scream you will attract its attention,".
Having heard this Tim leaned closer to his sister. Ian also huddled closer as the T-Rex inspected the vehicles. Suddenly the lights for the front car went out and the T-Rex went to investigate. Luckily for them the kids were already safe.
"Don't move the fogged windows kept us safe from her keen vision but a Tyrannosaur can smell us if we so much as move," Alan said quietly.
"Is it yours?" Ian asked.
"No the markings on the animals snout are wrong. This must be Rexy, the female," Alan said.
"We need to lure her away somehow," Ian whispered.
"We do nothing she is frightened that is all," Alan said.
"How can you tell?" Ian asked.
"The way she walks it is erratic and her head keeps swirling wildly. Meaning she is panicked the storm must have spooked her," Alan replied.
Suddenly the lights went off in their own car.
They looked at each other and the notion was clear.
Oh no!
MEANWHILE
Jessie struggled to get up but the bonds the held her in the back seat were strong. As she came to she noticed that she was on the road, and that the road was bumpy. She knew from the few hours working with her father that these are the back roads. The ones that were not fixed yet. And judging by how the jeep is swerving that means that the driver is not very experienced in storms.
The winds had ceased meaning that they were in the eye of the storm. But the thunder still rolled overhead. Jessie was easily startled as the large man in front continued to drive.
He completely ignored her which suited Jessie fine as it would mean that she could get out...or at least get loose so she can get out. She tried to find something she could use, something with a sharp edge.
But there was none.
"Don't even think about it girlie I have removed everything one can think of to help you escape," the person in front said.
Jessie wanted to cry, "Why are you doing this?" she said but all that came out is, "mmmmrrffmm," since her mouth was gagged.
"Can't talk can ya. Well good because where you are going there ain't going to be any talking. Maybe I will make a quick buck at the slave trade hehehe," was all that was said before the figure continued driving.
SOMEWHERE NEAR THE DILOPHOSAUR PADDOCK
Spitz felt his muscles start to return to him as the feeling was really coming back. His arms and legs no longer felt heavy but he remained still. He remembered a game he played with Nico a while ago where one would play dead, and then when the time is right would attack. Now Spitz is not your average Dilophosaur, he was raised by other dinosaurs rather then his own kind. Also when your best buddy and brother is a velociraptor then you have to get smarter to beat the game.
So he laid still pretending to zone out by keeping an eye on his prey. The two humans who were busy playing their banter game did not know that the dilophosaur was fully awake and that he was using his claws to breath out of his bonds.
"Damn this fucken storm is really getting on my nerves," the driver said.
"How much longer till we are at the docks?" said one of the men next to Spitz.
"Should be there in about fifteen minutes. We were supposed to meet Nedry there but this damn storm is really getting to me. Plus too I think Nedry might be a bit late if this storm is any indication," the man said.
"Yeah well that fat bastard better have our money ready," said the second man next to Spitz.
"Well hurry up and get there the faster we can get rid of this creepy dinosaur the better." the man said.
Suddenly something came falling in front of the truck, and the driver just had seconds to react before his van went reeling off the road. When he did the truck tumbled down the hill towards the river. When it came to the ground the occupants of the car are dead leaving the lone survivor to swim to shore.
Spitz managed to get out of his restraints just as he reached the shore. Using his tail as a sort of swimming device he swam like a crocodile towards the shore. When he got there he clawed through the restraints till they finally came off. When they did he shook himself off.
Just as he did so he looked around to see that he was on a lower road from the one the men have been traveling. Sniffing the air the grounds were unfamiliar to him. He flapped his crest to show his agitation.
But there was something off about this forest.
Spitz hooted softly backing away slowly. His night vision let him see what was coming.
Several strange noises followed and then from the trees came...
Another Dilophosaur.
This one looked like Spitz only it was larger with who huge crests on its head that shown in the flashing light. Spitz hooted a greeting and was met by a reply. Its coloring however suggested that it was an adult. Spitz was curious as he had never seen his own kind before. Tilting his head in curiosity he bobbed a greeting.
The larger animal bobbed the same and Spitz bent his head down in submission as the larger adult approached and sniffed him up and down. A soft hooting purr came from the larger animal as it inspected Spitz and sure enough it came back with a warning hiss.
Spitz backed up slowly away from that larger more adult animal.
It was then that he caught a scent as the winds started to pick up again.
He knew that scent and it was mixed up with one that he was also familiar with. This one was scared and he knew what that meant. Turning away from the larger Dilophosaur he quickly made his way into the bushes after his quarry.
T-REX PADDOCK
Alan, Ian and the children remained very still as the T-Rex came closer to their car. It began to sniff at the vehicle and nudged it. Alan quickly put his hand on Lex's mouth to keep her quiet because she was on the verge of screaming. Tim being too frightened to do anything was hugging Ian very close.
Then suddenly thunder began to rumble once again and then lightning.
Rexy roared out her rage towards the heavens.
The human occupants in the van kept quiet. However that did not stop one trouble making Archeopteryx from trying to attack the window and reveal their location.
Rexy's head suddenly looked down towards them, and they all froze in fear. Frankie having been around Rosco for so long began to hiss and growl at the T-Rex. It took all of Alan's efforts to try and pin the Archeopteryx but having to hold Lex and him was not helping.
The T-Rex can see them barely thanks to the fog on the windows. But they can clearly see her glowing golden eyes as she looked around. Then lowering her head further she can clearly smell them in the vehicle. As she looked around she was trying to see in the fogged up glass. They all held their breaths till.
"Ow! Frankie no!" Alan whispered but it was too late.
Frankie leaped at the window and began to attack it as the same time. This caused the Rex to raise her head and roar making Lex hyperventilate in retaliation. Alan tried his best to get her to be quiet but she was in too much shock. Tim huddled closer to the other side but that did not stop the large predator from raising her head up.
And slamming it into the glass below. Everyone inside screamed as the glass came down and Alan lost his grip on Lex. Her screams can be heard in his ear making him partially deaf if he was not screaming as well. Rexy attacked again and again trying to get in.
However she did not count on Frankie getting out of the glass and attacking her eye.
The Tyrannosaur roared in pain as the archeopteryx tore into her face. She luckily shook him off from her eye saving it. But he was relentless as he attacked her nose causing her to rear up once more.
"Everyone move now!" Alan shouted as he quickly opened the door and everyone rushed out. He could see Frankie trying to distract the dinosaur as the others ran. However Alan was not about to lose one of his dinosaurs. Reaching into the back seat he pulled out a flare. Ian kept running trying to get the kids to safety. When he turned he saw Alan standing there with a flare.
"Alan what are you doing!" Ian said.
"Go take the kids I know how to deal with an irate dinosaur," he said and Ian did not hesitate as he ran with the children to safety.
Alan watched them go as he faced his opponent a angry and frightened female tyrannosaur.
"Frankie come!" he yelled over the sound of the newly pouring rain. The rain had returned right when the kids ran leaving Alan to face the dinosaur alone.
He lit his flare and turned towards the dinosaur. Years of dealing with Rosco had taught him many tricks in dealing with a dinosaur as large as this and Rexy was no different. Frankie continued to go for her face as she tried to fight off the much smaller dinosaur.
"FRANKIE!" Alan yelled and the archeopteryx flew towards him.
He landed on the remains of the outhouse as Rexy turned her head towards him angry now that her opponent ran. Rexy gave a roar to indicate her challenge as she stood staring at Alan. Alan lit the flare and stood his ground like how he did to Rosco. Rexy tilted her head as she followed him. Then she charged when the lighting cracked the skies again.
Alan waited till she was within range before he darted right at her. She lunged but Alan being smaller was faster as he ducked down low and rolled. Rexy missed and rammed her snout into the ground and rolling onto her back. Startled the Tyrannosaur tried get up and roll over. When she did she was more then ready for her opponent as Alan stood his ground again.
She charged this time intent on eating the one who made her fall. Alan dodged again this time causing her to slide in the mud and lose her balance. This caused her to fall again. Angered Rexy got up to fight and did so for nearly thirty minutes.
This one was fast and smart as he avoided her tail, feet and teeth. But the human was also bloody from when she smacked him back into the car. She tried to go for him again only to knock over the tour vehicle.
Angered she took her rage out on the tour car and thrown it over the cliff opposite to her pen. Rexy was not amused at all.
Alan was still able to fight seeing as years of working with dinosaurs has left him in shape. Rexy charged again and this time Alan dodged which caused Rexy to slip and slide into the wall. Shaking her head she once again charged and Alan repeated the first action he did and that was to run between her legs causing her to fall.
And fall she did once again on her back. Only this time instead of keeping his distance Alan walked closer. Rexy growled and tried to snap at him but Alan was away from her claws and out of range of her jaws. As the rain poured from the heavens Rexy out of breath was panting. She growled low when Alan came up to her and began to stroke her and pat her down.
"Shhhhhhh its ok now," he said soothingly.
He too was out of breath as the Tyrannosaur was clearly panting. She was out of shape and Alan had counted on that as he stroked just near the tip of her snout. It was a show that he meant no harm to her only was protecting his turf.
As if understanding Rexy let out a low whine as she looked at him.
"Shhh its ok now no one is going to hurt you," he said soothingly.
Thunder and lightning cracked again and the wind started to blow. This time Rexy did get up and looked at Alan as if not to eat him. Alan stood his ground when the Rex approached hims slowly. Then she sniffed him getting his scent while looking at him directly in the eye. Alan was used to this as it shows that he was alpha. Reluctantly Rexy backed off and walked away towards the jungle to find shelter from the storm.
Racing backtracking towards where Ian and the kids went Frankie flew towards his shoulder.
"IAN, LEX TIM!" he called
"Alan down here!" Ian called and Alan looked down the cliff face.
He could not see them but he found the service ladder. Alan raced towards it and hurried down just as the rain started to come down in torrents and the winds started to pick up. Ian was there to greet him as he led Alan to where they were sheltered in an overhang. It was the good thing that the overhang was against the cliff. The trees behind it provided shelter from the rain and the cliff provided protection from the wind. Though the ground was too wet for them to seek better shelter.
They remained like this for about four hours huddled close together. Frankie was reluctant to leave Alan's side kept a lookout over the party as they waited out the storm.
JURASSIC PARK VISITOR'S CENTER
The garage was the first place Ellie, Gerry and Robert headed to when they were going to the Paddock. It was also there that they encountered Nico.
Robert gave a start and reached for his gun when the raptor gave a whine. Ellie however knew that cry.
"Dr. Sattler what are you doing?" Robert asked as she walked in front of him hands raised soothingly.
"Its ok Robert he is just scared. Nico honey its ok, its ok," she said slowly as she approached the raptor. Nico gave a whine of sadness as he met Ellie's hand and rubbed against it recognizing the scent. He rubbed against her and opened his claws up. Knowing what to do Ellie gave him a hug.
He whined some more as she cried for him, "Oh Nico honey its ok. It's ok baby did they try to take you?" she said to him softly.
Nico whined and looked around as if scared. Robert being a hunter and expert in animal behavior knows that something is wrong, "Something happened at the raptor pens," he said.
Reaching for his radio Robert quickly pressed the button, "Ray, Ray can you hear me?" he said.
"Yeah I hear you?" Ray replied on the other end.
"Ray I need you to shut down the control room I think the raptors are loose. I have one with me Dr. Grant's raptor Nico. Dr. Sattler is here calming him down but if he is loose then the others are loose as well. So shut down the room and make sure no one gets out,"Robert said.
"Copy that Rob and thanks," with that Robert had turned off the radio.
Nico looked at him with slited eyes. His pupils became dilated at seeing him then he pulled away from Ellie and came over to Robert. Robert looked at Ellie in curiosity before the Raptor was in his face sniffing him. Then he rubbed his face in Roberts.
"I take it he likes you," Ellie said smiling.
"I saved his life," Robert replied.
"Yeah I remember had to stitch you up because Big One got you good," Gerry replied.
"Well that means you are now his friend," Ellie said.
"Yes and with the storm finally letting up we can get out to find Dr. Grant and the others," Robert said.
"Nico, Nico come," Ellie said tapping the jeep.
The raptor knew what that meant having rode in a vehicle before.
Leaping onto the back he settled down in the small back seat and put his head over the railing. Ellie and Robert leaped into front of the Jeep while Gerry climbed in back with Nico and reversed it. Having put on raincoats they sped out into the rain. Ellie looked up to see Nico use his third eye-lid to keep the rain off of his face. As they sped off towards their last known location of the Tyrannosaur Paddock.
MEANWHILE
The rain had finally stopped at the group huddled under the cliff face waited till the sky was completely clear of clouds before leaving their shelter.
"Don't go it might still be out there!" Lex said shaking obviously cold.
Ian offered her his jacket to keep her warm. "The T-Rex is gone," he said.
"No its not," Alan replied.
Just to emphasize a roar was heard and they all huddled together. The T-Rex could be heard in the distance as the sounds of the nighttime jungle slowly return. Frankie flew off into the jungle while everyone was scared that he left.
"Don't worry he is only going to make sure it is safe," Alan assured them.
Just as he said it Frankie came racing back his feathers in a panic. He hid in Alan's shirt and the Paleontologist knew they were in danger.
"We need to move," Alan said and Ian agreed as they led the kids away from the area.
As they quickly entered the bushes Frankie grew more frantic in Alan's shirt. Alan knew that sign and it was not good.
"We need to hurry," Ian said.
"There quickly into the trees!" Alan stated and the kids started to climb up. Ian and Alan being larger were much slower then the kids. As they climbed they managed to get to a good height. They were high enough that they reached the canopy of the trees.
And just in time as the large trees began to shake as a huge form shook them. They saw the top of the Tyrannosaurus Rex as it made its way across the forest. As soon as they were safe and the dinosaur gone did Tim and Lex look at Frankie.
Frankie as small as he was gave a warble as if asking a question.
"Yes Frankie we are fine just cold," Alan said to the Archeopteryx.
The little dinosaur then came up to Lex and curled up close. He gave a few whistles before settling down.
"He likes you," Alan said.
"Will he bite?" Lex said a bit nervous at having Frankie near her seeing as she was traumatized from the event.
"No, you would know if he doesn't," Alan said and slowly Lex reached out to stroke Frankie.
"Start from his head and go down his back," Alan replied.
Lex did so and Frankie gave a warble but he did not wake. Tim curled up between Ian and Alan and fell asleep instantly. Both kids were curled up against the adults for both warmth and comfort. The branches overhead provided shelter in case it decided to rain again and provided a wind blocker. A haunting call came from the distance as both adults looked up to see the Brachiosaurs calling to one another.
"Man I wish the kids were up to see this?" Ian said.
"They had an exhausting day Ian cut them some slack," Alan replied.
"So that thing right there Frankie right?" Ian said
"Yeah," Alan replied.
"What is he?" Ian asked.
"He is an Archeopteryx the first known missing link between Dinosaurs and Birds," Alan replied.
"I never saw how colorful they are till now," Ian said reaching over gently and stroked Frankie. The archeopteryx in turn curled up closer to Lex and began to purr in his sleep.
"You said you had six dinosaurs that you hand raised yourself. Did you by chance...?"
"Throw them in a cage? No they were free to do as they pleased but they understood the boundries of where they could not roam. The townsfolk are used to them coming in and out of town. There are even signs warning newcomers to watch out for them. In fact they were protected under federal law," Alan said.
"How did you achieve that?" Ian asked.
"I didn't but others did stating that the dinosaurs are the only ones on earth. I used to do tours with them and they loved their trailer. You should have seen it a large trailer that size roaming the country." Alan said.
"Did they try to break free?" Ian asked.
"No, surprisingly I was afraid they would but they stayed. It was not because of a free meal then. I imprinted on them meaning that they see me as a parent. Rosco my Tyrannosaur he loved to go hunting with me along with Nico my raptor and Spitz my Dilophosaur. They had been my children for years and well someone once told me that the bond between a man and his animals is only as far as a man treats them. I even built my house to suit their needs," Alan stated.
"Wow, I've heard that there was a dinosaur man, but never in my life would I have thought that it was with live dinosaurs not animatronic puppets." Ian replied.
"What about yourself? You said you teach Chaos Theory and try not to do the whole preachy thing please." Alan stated.
"The Preachy thing? Oh you mean me preaching about chaos. Well that I do to annoy my creditors and my clients. It is quite fun really. But what I really do besides mathematics is look after my kids and family. I am dating Dr. Harding's eldest daughter Sarah and we have been going out for about...ten years perhaps. Right after my daughter Kelly was born. Her mother and I well we did not get along so well. I thought we had a thing going, but turns out she was a drug addict looking for a hit and run. Found out she was going to use the kids to collect money. Well I could not have that so I took them myself and brought them up myself." Ian said.
"Where are they now?" Alan asked.
"At home with Sarah while I am here dealing with dinosaurs," Ian stated.
"What does Sarah do? Is she like her father a vet?" Alan asked.
"No, she is a zoologist meaning she studies animals especially larger predators. That is her specialty. She was doing field research in Kenya and well she comes home to spend time with me and to write up her research papers. Plus she loves the kids so she takes care of them."
"How many kids you said you had again?" Alan asked.
"About four kids they are from a previous marriage Mitch, Leo, Arianne, and Kelly," Ian said.
"Must be a handful," Alan said with a smile.
"Yeah they can be but hey who said parenting is easy," Ian replied.
Just as he said it two more Brachiosaurus heads lifted from the trees and sang out to them. They filled the treetops with their song. As they sang Alan and Ian just sat their watching while the children sleep it was a rare moment in time.
"So Dr. Grant what is the deal with you and Dr. Sattler are you...?" Ian asked.
"Dating? No, Ellie and I are childhood friends. She is like a sister to me and we often play the dating game as a means to throw people off. Nah Ellie is engaged to the museum curator back at home Mark was his name. They had been dating for quite a long time and Mark finally popped the question to her." Alan replied.
"Wow you think her fiance will let her leave his side after all this?" he asked.
"Probably not but he can't control Ellie. She wanted to get these animals back as much as me. To them she is mom," Alan replied.
"When this is over you know that we won't endorse this park right?" Ian said.
"I know that. The animals are too contained here to many fences. If they wanted to they should tear down the fences and do what the Africans do and just have people explore the park that way," Alan replied.
"Of that I have to agree," Ian said.
"Well I am turning in we have to get up early to get back don't we," Ian said.
"Yeah after all it was a rough night," Alan replied.
With that they both turned in. Seeing as the night was going to be a long one.
T-REX PADDOCK
The jeep arrived right where the cars were last seen. From what they both saw Ellie and Robert both had gotten out of the cars leaving Gerry with Nico. The raptor looked at him for a brief second before leaping out as well.
"Alan? ALAN!" Ellie shouted.
"Dr. Grant? Dr. Malcolm, Alexis, Timothy!" Robert called.
"Dr. Grant? Dr. Malcolm?" Gerry called
Nico began to sniff around the area. Being a dinosaur he has a stronger sense of smell then either of the humans. Sniffing the ground he gave a hiss at the large footprint. He gave a warble to get Ellie's attention.
"What is it Nico?" Ellie said.
Nico began to call out a warning and whine.
"Something is not right," Gerry said. And just to emphasize this the ground began to shake.
"Oh shit!" Robert said and just then Nico began to back away in fear. He barked a warning before running off.
Ellie, Robert and Gerry began to run as fast as they could. The thunderous footsteps became louder and louder as the trees parted and a very angry and agitated T-Rex came crashing through the underbrush. Roaring out her rage she charged the jeep while Robert tried to put it in gear.
"Nico! Nico!" Ellie shouted.
The raptor was nowhere to be seen probably run off by the sound of the Rex. Rexy charged with all her rage as she bashed her head into the side of the jeep. Robert tried to put the jeep into gear but the combined bodies of Ellie and Gerry prevented him from doing so.
"Get off the stick!" he shouted to them but the Rex's head was nearly on them.
Suddenly a scream was heard and something hit Rexy from behind nipping her in the ankles. Turning around in rage she failed to see the fleeing form of Nico as the Raptor started to harass the much larger dinosaur.
"Nico!" Ellie said realizing what the raptor was doing. Rexy tried to get at him again but Nico was too fast and disappeared into the bushes with Rexy trailing right after him. By then Robert managed to get the jeep into gear and the vehicle sped away. Breathing a sigh of relief Ellie, Gerry, and Robert managed to continue to drive.
Then out of the bushes came a blur as Nico raced alongside the jeep. The velociraptor easily kept up as he ran alongside them he looked happy for a good run as Ellie smilled and patted his head with a 'good boy!'
"Now what do we do?" Gerry said.
"Well we know that Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcolm are still alive. I bet they have the kids with them for all we found was Gennaro's remains." Robert said.
"Well we know for sure that your dinosaur is going to find out that eating humans is not good for your stomach," Ellie said.
"I didn't know that lawyers tasted that bad," said Gerry.
"Did you have your dinosaurs eat anyone before?" Ellie said.
"Yeah the raptors did but it was too dangerous to even see what happened afterwards," Gerry said.
"Well let me put it to you this way Rexy if my guess is correct on that one back there. Is going to get the mother of all indigestion," Ellie replied.
"I take that back Lawyers taste horrible," Gerry said.
The Jeep with the raptor in tow sped on wards down the road well away from the massive predator they just evaded.
MEANWHILE
Dennis Nedry sped along the road. The area he was at was still in a downpour unlike the rest of the park. As he neared the road leading to the East Docks he could hear shuffling and sniffling in the back seat. The girl he had snagged from back at the employee apartments still was crying so he jerked the jeep forcing her to hit her head.
"Shut up back there!" he ordered.
The girl continued to sniff and kick wanting to get out.
"I said shut the hell up!" he roared until he tried to tune the radio to get a good station.
It was met by nothing but static.
Cursing at his only distraction not being able to distract him he kept on driving. As he drove he started to make plans as to what he was going to do with the girl. He could just dump her with the people waiting. It would teach her some manners. Or maybe he can sell her off as a sex slave they always pay more when they are young.
Yeah he could do that.
Nedry smiled to himself thinking of what he was going to do with the girl as he continued to speed down the road. Unaware of the creature following them from a distance.
SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE JEEP
Spitz had just exited the underbrush having followed Jessie's scent. As he came to the road he watched the lights disappearing into the distance and knew for a fact that was where his prey was. Sniffing the ground to verify the scent he was positive now that it was his quarry. As he came further on the road he caught the scent of a different predator.
Lifting his head he turned around and around looking. When he finally managed to focus on what it was a greyish creature emerged.
Several of them in fact.
Spitz was confused but something told him to be wary of these animals. They were nearly his size with large eyes on their heads. Swinging their tails as drool came out of their mouths Spitz knew that it was time to leave.
Taking his leave he sped down the road after the jeep.
TBC
A/n: I apologize for the intense skipping around but there was so many events going on at the same time I could not put it in separate chapters. I had to write it down. So many things happened at once in Jurassic Park that I just had to get it down in one go. Besides everyone knew what happened so why should I put it into detail? Anyhows I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I apologize for the confusion and don't worry it won't happen again I swear it.
As always leave a review and remember no FLAMES, BASHINGS AND LORE MONGERS PLEASE!
