So if you are waiting for Dinomaster to update you are going to have to wait a long while. I am sorry but doing four stories at the same time is too hard on the brain. So I will focus on two at a time. So until then take care!

ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 12: Breakfast in Bed

MONTANA 1988

"Um...ok this is very strange for me to come out here," said a woman as she stepped out of a vehicle.

Jessica Grady was a veterinarian, the one that his volunteer recommended. That Volunteer Richard Grady her husband stood with little Tank in his hands. The Ankylosaur was busy munching on a piece of a banana that he had gotten from his stores.

"Well they seem healthy and since they are reptiles I will have to check for a few things," Jessica said as she gently poked something underneath and scrunched.

"Hmmm...they seem more like birds when I poke here ok let's do some blood tests just to make sure," she said and got out a syringe and took a small sample from each hatchling. Few squeaked in protest of being handled that way, but the ankylosaur was calm as ever.

"Alright give me a few minutes and I will be back with the results," she said and walked off.

By then the door opened in Mrs. Attenborough came walking in. She looked around before she spotted the six hatchlings. Immediately her eyes began to shine as she came up to them.

"Oh my God will you look at that! I swear Alan you had out done yourself this time!" she said as she looked at all six hatchlings in their makeshift playpen.

Some of the others also poked their heads into the trailer to see the baby dinosaurs. One of them happens to be a seven year old Owen Grady. The pudgy boy ran inside to see the dinosaurs for himself.

"Oh Wow Daddy lookie, lookie! Its a dinosawr!" Owen said to his dad when he pointed to the baby T-Rex. Richard was holding his infant daughter Maria while he laughed at Owen's antics. The boy pointed his finger at the T-Rex trying to tickle him only to end up being bitten.

"Owww!" Owen said and he had the start of tears.

"Honey that is not nice to poke your fingers in an animal's face," Richard scolded Owen.

Owen bit back tears as he held his fingers, but then he felt something licking it and found the same baby dinosaur licking his wounds.

"You are a rosco!" Owen said as he pulled his finger away and sucked on the wound himself much to his father's protests.

"Richard why don't you take Owen and get that looked at. I will make sure these little ones don't bite anyone else," said Mr. Attenborough.

Richard then took Owen by the hand as he walked out. The little Tyrannosaur squeaked as he wanted to follow but Mr. Attenborough was quick to grab it.

"Oh no you don't you little rascal," he said as he lifted the little one up. It squeaked in protest as he put it back with the others. The strange looking Frankie being the smallest was trying his best to get something to eat since the others were being fed with syringes filled with either puree meat or veggie paste. He looked lost until Mrs. Attenborough picked it up.

"So Liz do you know anything about this one? I've been scratching my head for hours, and since this is the smallest egg out of the clutch that he or she hatched from I am at a loss," Alan said.

"Hmm I will have to get these guys X-Rayed to see for myself but I have to say this one does look familiar. We already identified five of them, and I love your pteranodon she is just adorable," Mrs. Attenborough said as she scratched the pterosaur under the chin. Said Pterosaur mewed in delight as she flapped her wings for more attention.

"My oh my this one is definitely a girl always wanting attention." she said.

But she let it go to pick up the strange small one. This one didn't like the meat paste that much. Alan was afraid that Frankie was going to die.

"Hmm his fingers reminds me of a hoatzin see how they line up?" she said as she grabbed the hand of the smallest one and examined each of the three fingers.

"Well I'll be damned it can't be!" she said.

"What?" Alan said.

"This little shit right here this is a rare find indeed!" she said as she gently felt along the bony tail and the feet.

"What is it Liz?" Ellie said getting impatient.

"This is an Archeopteryx!" Mrs. Attenborough said.

"You're joking Elizabeth!" Mr. Attenborough said when he walked up to Frankie.

"No I am not I recognize these bone structures anywhere! I saw them myself when I was in Germany many years ago. I did a paper on the subject back in my day. And I am telling you right now you brain dead idiots that this here is an Archeopteryx!" Mrs. Attenborough said proudly.

"But it has no feathers!" said a volunteer.

"Baby birds have no feathers when they are born dumbass," Mrs. Attenborough replied.

Alan had to hold back a laugh as he took Frankie from Mrs. Attenborough. The little thing gave a chirp but did not move, "So what does he or she eat?" Alan asked.

"Bugs of course! And I got plenty of them ruining my kitchen!" Mrs. Attenborough laughed as she went out of the trailer to get the bug traps. As soon as she came in she had a healthy helping of flies for the littlest dinosaur. Frankie ate like a pig. He was so happy to be fed finally that he looked up at Alan with love.

There was a knock on the door and Mrs. Grady finally returned, "Ok guys I got the test results and Owen wanted to see the dinosaurs again," she said.

Owen peeked his head in his finger in a band aid.

"Alright what are the genders?" Alan asked.

"Well, the T-Rex is definitely a boy," she said.

"See I told you ma! He is a rosco!" Owen said.

"Its Rascal Owen, Rascal," his mother scolded, "Though Rosco is a good name for him ain't that right Rosco," Mrs. Grady said petting the newly named Rosco under his large head. The baby enjoyed the touch and leaned in for more. Owen taking his mother's cue did the same.

"See Owen you need to pet him here first to let him know you are a friend." his mother said while Rosco protested for attention. He let her know he was not happy at all with the lack of it. Owen laughed as he petted him some more.

"Alright now that 'he' is taken care of what about the others?" asked Alan.

"Well the Pteranodon I can tell you is a girl so 'Sarah' would be a good name for her," Mrs. Grady said. Said pteranodon was busy sleeping off her meal of tuna.

"Ok Tank is a female which is good these days. Those two are boys," Mrs. Grady finished pointing at the two other carnivores.

"Nico! Nico!" came a squeaky voice and Mrs. Grady looked up in shock as her infant Maria had somehow gotten a hold of the raptor chick who was protesting.

"Maria no!" Richard said and went to save the hatchling from his daughter. The baby started to cry when the raptor was pried out of her hand. The little thing nearly choked.

"Mia wants Nico, Mia wants Nico!" Maria protested as she started to cry. Her screaming woke up the other dinosaurs and they too started to scream. Alan had to put his hands to his ears...babies.

ISLA NUBLAR, EAST DOCK, PRESENT DAY

The first rays of the sun began to shine over the horizon of Isla Nublar. The birds began their morning chorus and the seas were once again calm and steady. However for one resident or former resident this was no time for games. Loading up her gear Nima was ready to head out.

"It's about time you showed up!" Miles said protesting.

"Says the man who took two fucken hours to get dressed," Nima growled.

Miles grumbled to himself as he hoisted his bag over his shoulder. "Well I had to be prepared for anything including mosquitoes," and then he began to make his way towards the jungle followed by Nima and two other men.

"What are we going to do then?" asked Nima.

"First we are going to find that bastard Nedry and find out what happened to him. And second we are going to find out what happened to the rest of those animals. We need them for the full payment," Miles replied.

Nima could only guess what happened to Nedry.

ELSEWHERE

The first rays of dawn began to crest over the mountain range as the sounds of something munching woke Ian from his rest. There right in front of his face was a very large mouth munching on leaves.

That mouth was attached to a very long neck. Which is attached to a very large head, and that head was giving him a bemused look while munching on the leaves of the tree he was currently sitting in.

And right on cue a cry was heard as Frankie the Archeopteryx flew right at the large dinosaur and was happily eating ticks. A deep musical sounding rumble was heard but the larger animal paid him no mind. Ian nearly screamed when a large hand landed on his leg and he turned to look at Alan. The other man put a finger to his lips and urged him to be quiet.

Nodding in understanding Ian watched as the exchange. He truly felt like he had gone back in time to another era.

"Whoa!" came the voice of Tim as he woke up. That also woke up his sister who was about to scream but Alan put his hand to her mouth and did the same thing he did to Ian.

"It's ok Lex this is a herbivore a plant eater," Alan said gently as he reached out towards the animal.

As if sensing a friend the dinosaur leaned in and let itself be petted. All the while munching on the leaves it was getting right in front of them. Tim looked for permission before he too touched the dinosaur. "Whoa this is cool its a Brachiosaurus right?" he said to Alan.

"Yep and he is beautiful," Alan said.

"He?" Ian said.

"Yes I was watching more before I went to bed. The males have a more distinct crest not much different then a female, but from studying their skulls the males have more larger openings on top for more sounds. To attract females and this guy is no different, right there big guy?" Alan said happily to the Brachiosaur.

It paid him no mind as it continued to much away at the food in front of him. Lex also reached forward and stroked the dinosaur. It reacted happily at the area she was touching.

"Dr. Grant I think this Brachiosaur has a cold," Tim said as he pointed to the trail of moisture coming from its nostril.

"Yeah I think I will let Dr. Harding know when we get back," said Alan.

"Um Alan I just thought of something grandpa said," Lex inquired.

"Really? What is it?" Alan asked.

"Um he said that all the dinosaurs are girls and yet you mentioned that this one is a boy how is that?" Lex asked.

"Well I remembered what Dr. Malcolm here said and then I remembered the amphibian DNA that Dr. Wu inserted into the genes of these animals. Certain species of frogs and fish change their genders at certain points in time. Mostly when there is only one gender or at a certain age with some species of fish. So if I am not mistaken the dinosaurs here and what we saw last night means only one thing...they are breeding." Alan then turned to Ian with a smirk on his face.

"Well Ian you get to tell Hammond that your theories are correct right?" Alan said to Ian.

"Yeah definitely," Ian said, "Life finds a way,"

MEANWHILE

In the time it took for the first rays to reach the forest floor another resident was starting to wake up. Just below where the Brachiosaur was feasting gray eyes opened to the world for the first time in hours. Jessie Harding first became aware of the world though the bright lights of the sun filtering through the hole outside.

The next thing she became aware of was the feeling of warmth next to her, as she slowly became more aware of her surroundings. The feeling of something breathing on her and purring gave her the images of a cat next to her and she almost thought she was back in California again. That is until the smell of dirt and moss began to filter through her sleep fogged mind. As she slowly woke up more her mind suddenly became aware of the fact that what she was leaning on was not her blanket or her pillows from home. In fact it was hard and scaly and...breathing.

Slowly she turned her head to see the sleeping form of Spitz snuggled close.

Then the nights events caught up with her...

Nedry's kidnapping

How he nearly raped her.

Spitz rescuing her and protecting her from other dinosaurs.

How Spitz had found shelter under the tree.

As if sensing her wakefulness the said dinosaur opened his eye and looked up at her with a croon. Jessie smiled as she stroked his side, "Your my new hero you know that boy," she said and leaned into him. His rapid beating heart was all she heard. Spitz hooted a reply as he slowly gotten up and shook himself up. He then turned to her and nudged her up.

"I guess I have to get up huh?" she whispered to him.

Spitz only cocked his head before heading outside to investigate the shaking ground. Jessie followed and what astonished her was the Brachiosaur right outside her tree. The dinosaur in question gently moved away leaving them well enough alone. Looking up she saw it depart slowly down the forest with the rest of the herd.

It was also there that she saw another resident this one...not as friendly or so she thought.

It was her other hero.

"Junior?" she said.

The Juvenile T-Rex was sleeping beside the tree also and Spitz slowly walked up to it. The T-Rex woke with a wagging of its tail. Its head was narrower then Rexy's but still Junior was just happy for some company. Feeling cautious Jessie tried not to move, but that was before she tripped on a branch and fell backward. Junior came up to her and she was sure she was breakfast.

Then Spitz came to her rescue again scolding the Rex. He even gave it a few good swipes as a warning. But Junior was not relenting as she was whining at Jessie.

"Oh that's right you are still a baby aren't you? But you are a lot bigger then me Junior so where is Rexy? Did she get out too?" she said to the larger carnivore.

Junior only came to her and began to sniff at her and fell over.

"JUNIOR!" Jessie nearly screamed as she raced over to the T-Rex's side.

It was there that she finally got to see the claw marks on the side of the dinosaur. She knew exactly where they had come from. It was from saving both her and Spitz last night from the other Dilophosaurs. Junior slowly whined in pain.

"Oh shit I am so sorry!" Jessie started to cry.

It was then that branches could be heard moving as something made their way down. Jessie could hear voices as well as Spitz. The dilophosaurs's head went up in bewilderment. Then his tail began to swing excitedly as he started to make happy noises.

"Hello! Hello is anyone up there?" Jessie started to call up the tree.

"Hello is anyone down there?" a familiar voice said.

"Dr. Grant? Dr. Grant is that you!" Jessie called.

"Jessie?" another voice said this one she also knew.

"Ian? Ian is that you...oh Thank God!" Jessie yelled.

It took them all about ten minutes to finish getting down from the tree but when they did Ian quickly crushed Jessie in a tight hug. "Oh my God Jessie what the fuck are you doing out here?" he asked.

"I was kidnapped and then the storm came and that man he nearly..." by then Jessie started to let loose the floodgate of tears from her shock of the previous night.

"Shhh honey it is ok, it is ok we're here now you are safe," Ian said comforting his soon to be sister in law.

It was then that Lex decided to scream in fear and a hooting was heard. Everyone broke off from what they were doing only to hear laughing at the end.

There on the ground was Dr. Grant and right above him was Spitz licking his face and giving him happy croons, hoots and warbles. He was followed by an excited Frankie as the Archeopteryx came swooping out of the trees to fly around his nest mate. Spitz being happy for the reunion also bounced up and down in happiness. She watched as Dr. Grant quickly grabbed the dilophosaurs and gave him a hug which to her surprise he returned! The dinosaur returned the hug!

"I didn't know he could do that?" Jessie said.

"Well Dr. Grant's dinosaurs are unique in their own way," Ian said.

"Wow he is cool can I touch him?" Tim said.

"Sure let me show you how," Alan said as he put his hand on Spitz's neck and showed Tim how to say hello. Spitz cocked his head and hooted at Tim before taking a sniff at the boy's hand. Then he rubbed his head against the boy's stomach. Tim laughed as the dinosaur then tried to go for Lex but she was really hesitant.

"Don't worry Lex he won't bite he is just curious," Alan said.

"Ok...I am just nervous after the last meatsaurus," she said.

Spitz reared up on his hind legs and took a sniff before opening his arms up and giving a hug which shocked Lex.

"He likes you Lex," Jessie said. Lex slowly returned the hug with shaking fingers. Then he repeated the gesture to Jessie and this time Jessie laughed as she let herself get hugged.

"So Jessie tell me what is up with this T-Rex?" asked Ian looking at the injured Junior.

"Junior saved us from a pack of Dilophosaurs. Spitz tried to fight them off but then Junior showed up and decided to end the fight. But from the looks of it Junior isn't doing too good," she said

Junior began to wheeze from the poison and her wounds and Alan looked down in pity. Then he reached into his pocket to pull out a bottle that he had kept with him.

"What is that?" Tim asked.

"Dilophosaur Antivenom, I keep it on hand just in case Spitz accidentally bit me. I have just enough here for Junior hopefully it will help," Alan said as he pulled out a syringe and tapped on it a few times. Then he walked slowly towards the Tyrannosaur and tried to get her turn so she can show her vein.

"Come on girl this is not going to hurt one bit I just need you to turn a bit," Alan said as he pushed on her gently.

Slowly the juvenile Tyrannosaur turned and shown the right vein. Tapping on it a few times Alan plunged the needle inside to inject the meds into her. Once it was done he tossed the needle and tapped the side again showing that everything was alright.

"WE should get these wounds treated Ian you know that plant behind you the one with the broad leaves?" he said.

"This one?" Ian asked.

"No the one with the dark berries on it," Alan asked.

"These Dr. Grant?" Lex said.

"Yes that one bring that one here that is good medicine. Ellie insisted that I learn a bit about Botany with her so I know a few things," Alan said as he took the plant from Lex and began to smear the berries into the wounds of the T-Rex. Junior whined as she was being helped and Tim wondered towards the end of the snout and pet the dinosaur only for her to snap at his hand.

"Be careful Tim she is not tame," Alan warned.

"It's ok Tim," Jessie said.

When all the wounds were covered in berry juice and seemed to sooth the dinosaur down the group got up.

"Now what?" asked Ian.

"Now we have to make our way to the Visitor's Center. We've done all we can for Junior so only time will tell if she will get better or not. I just hope she will be fine in a few hours but we need to get moving," Alan said.

They all nodded and Alan leaned down towards Jessie.

"Jessie do you know the way to the road?" he asked.

"No it was dark when Spitz led me here under the tree," Jessie said.

"Alright, Spitz!" Alan said the dinosaur in question looked up from where he was licking his own wounds.

"Spitz where is the road? Where is the road Spitz?" Alan then whistled.

Spitz then hooted before leading the group away from the tree towards where the road was. By then the sun had already risen over the mountains and gave the forest floor an eerie look. When they got there however they found to their horror armed men already circling the area.

"Shit! We can't go back," Ian said.

"Those men have guns I bet it is to scare the dinosaurs away," Lex said.

"Don't be stupid Lex those men are not grandpa's workers in fact they look scary," Tim said.

"Guys I am trying to listen in," said Alan.

MEANWHILE

It had taken them about four hours of following the road towards where they are now. Nima was irritated that she had to follow these clowns, but what is she going to do. She could have been here faster if Miles had not insisted on stopping every single time for a break.

"I hate the jungle, and the mosquitoes, and the heat," he grumbled while she rolled her eyes keeping her gun in check. They had followed the trail all the way up the mountain towards where the road was. They had followed the road for sometime till at last they had came towards the fallen tree and where the wreckage of the Jeep was. It had taken them nearly four hours to get, here but at long last they had finally came up to the jeep.

The jeep was a wreck with blood splatters everywhere on the inside. One of the men opened the door and lost his lunch in the bushes.

There was the remains of Dennis Nedry. His stomach was torn open with his intestines ripped to shreds as if something had eaten him alive. There was gore everywhere and the heat has made Dennis's body bloat leaving a horrid smell and the insects were all over him.

Though in the maggot infested remains Nima managed to find what she was looking for. The Barbosol can was lying just near Nedry's foot. So Nima without Mile's noticing checked the can for the embryos. Finding them she secured the can and refilled it adding another CO2 canister to the can. The other can she noticed was the same thing but it was a normal can. Thinking quick she picked up the can which was destroyed and handed it to Miles.

"I believe this was what you were looking for?" Nima said.

"What! Ah fuck!" Miles said screaming in frustration at the destroyed shaving crème can. The bottom was too smashed up for them to be able to open it saving Nima time to hide the real can. As he looked at the destroyed can all Miles grumbled was his lost money.

"Don't worry about it as long as we have the dinosaurs we should be able to recover some of it right?" Nima said.

"That is just the problem we need to have all six dinosaurs and the embryos to get paid. Nedry was our get to guy for it and now he is dead," Miles said.

"Well we should be heading down the road to find out what happened to the rest of the dinosaurs. From the looks of it Nedry had what was coming to him," Nima replied.

"Yeah lets get going we need to track down those other men and what had happened to the dinosaurs," Miles replied.

Nima just happened to look down and see some tracks on the ground. They were hours old meaning that these tracks belonged to someone. She spotted the bigger tracks of Nedry and some smaller tracks meaning someone else was here.

But it was the dinosaur tracks that had her confused. There were different sizes and shapes meaning something is lurking in the jungles. Getting up she looked around shouldering her rifle before making her way towards the others. Looking back once before disappearing.

MEANWHILE

"That was close!" said Lex.

"Yeah that was close," Alan replied.

"Do you know those men?" Ian asked the paleontologist.

"No but I do know their clothes. Those are the same men that attacked me and my dinosaurs." Alan said.

"Are you sure?" Ian asked.

"Yeah I recognize the uniforms and the guns those are the same ones," Alan replied.

"Can we go now?" Jessie said suddenly nervous.

"Yeah lets find another way out of here," Ian agreed putting his arm around his sister in law.

"Alright let's go," Alan said and they all started away from the roads towards the trees. Spitz followed behind and Frankie soared overhead. Alan was surprised that Frankie never attacked the men but then again the Archeopteryx was busy catching breakfast.

As they walked through the jungle Spitz began to make a low whine and Alan knew what that meant...he was hungry.

"Alright we need to find food for both ourselves and the dinosaurs. Ian do you know anything about the outdoors?" he asked the mathematician.

"I only know how to make a fire that is it," Ian said.

"Alright I guess I have to go get us some food. Lets go Spitz," Alan said and the Dilophosaur was more then happy to lead the way.

About an hour later Alan returned with a few birds that he had caught and some plants. After Ian made a fire they were able to get something into their stomachs. The group then set out into the wilderness that is Jurassic Park.

AT THE SHELTER

"Psst! Dr. Sattler? Dr. Sattler?" a frantic Henry Wu said as he tried to wake up Ellie.

Nico was looking up at him with some amusement to his face.

"Mmmm wha?" Ellie said waking up. When she finally became alert as to what had happened she finally was able to see Dr. Wu leaning above her.

"Henry what's wrong?" Ellie asked.

"Um...I think it hatched," Henry said as he showed the now hatched egg and the little dinosaur that came from it.

Ellie looked down at the Troodon that just was born its large eyes made it look rather odd as it looked around.

"Did you feed it?" Ellie said.

"Um...I gave it my left over jerky," Henry said and Ellie had to laugh.

"Well congratulations Dr. Wu you are now the father of a Troodon," Ellie said to him. Henry Wu looked shocked, "I am not a parent! I am a geneticist a guy who splices genes and not a person who grows things?" he said in a panic.

"Henry a parent does exactly that and you can't get rid of him or her now they have imprinted on you," Ellie said to him. Nico chose this time to get up and sniff the baby. Giving a happy croon he began to clean it of the left over yoke. The baby troodon was more the happy to accept its bath.

"But, but..." Henry tried to protest.

It was then that the Troodon nuzzled into Henry it looked up at him with adoration while it snuggled into his hand. Henry sighed as he held the little one up, "Ok I admit you are kind of cute but what am I going to feed you in the meantime?" he asked.

Ellie smiled while she watched the bewildered Henry. Deal with his new 'child' and sighed. Henry was right even with the rations they had the dinosaurs need fresh meat meaning that they are going to have to go out and hunt.

Slowly their room started to fill with activity as many people started to wake from their sleeping areas. Ellie chosen to sleep on the floor as a means to stay with Nico. Robert, Hammond and Ray slept on the cots. Wu had a few blankets out and slept on the floor nearest one of the warm vents meaning he was in the warmest place in the room. So that would explain why the egg hatched as it did. Ellie had to smile Wu seemed so reserved in his lab when she met him. The young man could use the dinosaur as a means of reaching out to other people. They say that pets makes the best therapists.

The little Troodon began to make some noise which woke the others.

"For God Sake are those animals trying to get into the vents again?" Gerry said grumbling.

"No that would be Henry's new pet," said Ellie as she watched Nico finish off his own meal of the dead troodon. The last of it went down Nico's gullet but not before he gave a piece of meat to the little Troodon who ate it with a fury. At one point he started to choke but Henry quickly rubbed his neck to help him swallow like how he would do to the other babies.

Speaking of which.

"OH shit! The hatchlings!" he said

"What about them?" said Hammond.

"We need to get back to the labs and secure the babies," Henry said.

"Henry that place is crawling with raptors and you want us to go back there?" Ray Arnold said.

"Look we have to go back in there anyways to get this park up and running again so why not," said Ellie.

It was John Hammond that made the final decision. "Dr. Sattler is right if we have any chance of surviving we need to get this park back up and running again. Now Dr. Wu when we get back to the Visitor's Center we need you to secure the hatchlings to make sure they are alright. Robert you and Dr. Sattler will take Nico to make sure there are no raptors in the building. Dr. Harding you and Mitch secure the First Aid area to make sure that we have enough medical supplies to last us until Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcolm return with the kids. Once we have the area secure we can organize another search party." Hammond said.

Sure enough everyone had gotten ready to go. Henry held onto his little Troodon and placed it in his shirt pocket for safe keeping. The little Troodon poked its head out and was surprisingly quiet. Nico took a sniff at the hatchling before heading towards Ellie.

Robert was the first out the door with his rifle ready followed by Ellie and Nico and then Gerry. The sounds of the morning birds filled the air as the group slowly but surely exited the area. Nico took some time to sniff for danger and having found none led the way back towards the visitor's center.

MEANWHILE

Alan and the kids had managed to walk towards a cliff. This cliff gave them a clear view of the island and what laid beyond.

"Look there is the Visitor's Center!" said Lex.

There looming over the trees just a distance away was the visitor's center. The tops of the thatched roofs shown against the green of the trees.

"But its so far," Tim complained.

"Yeah we have to cross that valley first," Ian said pointing towards the plains. There they saw several herbivores grazing in the distance.

"We have to cross the river first before we get towards the plains. And from what I read on the tour guide the river is full of caiman and one Sarcosuchus." said Alan.

"Sarcosuchus? Thats one big crocodile right?" Tim said.

"You mean to tell me there is one massive crocodile in the river?" said Jessie.

"Yeah so that means we have to take the long way home," Alan said sadly.

From down below the river was rather wide and from the looks of the muddy water deep as well. The storm had flooded the river and the surrounding area so that means that area is rather dangerous to cross. So the adults had to figure out what is the best place to cross in order to get home.

"Don't they have a bridge somewhere?" asked Jessie.

"I don't think so, with that tropical storm last night I am guessing that the bridges would be out. So we have to find another way to cross the river," Alan said.

"Wait! If I remember from dad if we travel down the mountains on the other side we can make our way around from the coast. We have to however go south since the North Road has those men on it," said Jessie.

"South? But that would take us half way across the island!" said Ian.

"Its either that or face the Sarcosuchus. At least when we get to the docks we can cut across the second valley on the other side of the ridge. Once there we can be able to get across the river a lot easier and cross the valley," Jessie said.

"Did your father show you the way?" Ian asked.

"We crossed there when he gave me the tour. He said that they use that route when there is a major flood to avoid the super croc and the Giant Snake," said Jessie.

"Wait Giant Snake!" said Alan.

"Yeah it was an accidental hatching but one that was done at the field lab instead of the regular labs at the Visitor's Center. Dad told me it was Dr. Sorkin's version of the middle finger to Dr. Wu," Jessie replied.

"Oh boy first the super croc and now the monster snake," Alan replied.

"Makes you feel like you are in the Lost World now isn't it Grant?" Ian joked.

"Yeah, what ever biker boy," Alan joked.

"Well lets go I want to go home," Tim said showing his enthusiasm and Frankie on Tim's shoulder chirped his agreement...or just chirped for the hell of it. Spitz also chirped his eagerness to go as he reared up and screeched with his frill out.

"Alright then let's go people while there is daylight ahead of us," Alan said.

TBC
