ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 13: Into the Jungle

The group had been walking for what seemed like hours. The blistering heat of the sun had been scorching the jungle making it nearly unbearable. The insects and the birds were very loud this time of day, but they managed to make good time down the ridge of the mountains. Spitz the Dilophosaur had stayed by Jessie's side the whole time offering comfort to the girl as she held onto her stomach. Ian knew the signs all to well and sighed.

"Hey Grant hold up!" he called to the Paleontologist.

Alan stopped and the others stopped with him.

Jessie had her hand to her stomach as she let out a groan.

"Ok honey sit down for a bit ok," Ian said.

"What's wrong?" Alan asked

"Jessie is starting her period," Ian said.

"How do you know that?" Alan asked.

"I have daughters Alan, and after dealing with two teens and one fully grown woman for so long you would know the signs." Ian said.

As if sensing his discomfort Lex was the one who stepped up. "I got this boys," she said and led Jessie away, but she was trying to shoo Spitz who was trying to follow.

"Um...?" Lex said.

"Spitz stay!" Alan called and Spitz stayed where he was. Frankie remained on Tim's shoulder watching with curiosity. The Dilophosaur turned towards Alan with a questioning look.

"Stay Spitz," Alan warned.

The dinosaur reluctantly walked towards his father and rubbed his side against him like a cat. Alan reached over and stroked him down much to his delight. The Dilophosaur leaned in while looking in the direction the girls had taken. He wanted to go after them but Alan's firm hand on his neck told him otherwise. He could have easily bitten his hand but he knows better.

Frankie almost went after them but then Tim managed to find something to distract the smallest member of their group. A large spider was what had Frankie very happy and very full by the time the girls had gotten back. When they had gotten back Jessie looked a bit calmer and not so much in pain or discomfort.

"What did you do?" Tim asked.

"I had a spare Tampon. I just got over my period so I figured I'd give it to Jessie," Lex replied.

"T.M.I.!" Tim said and covered his ears.

Alan rolled his eyes along with Ian as they continued their trek. Now no longer fearing the dinosaurs following the scent of blood. They continued on through the jungle. Frankie who had been on Tim's shoulder moved towards Lex. Reaching up she gave him a scratch on the head. The Archeopteryx was more then happy to enjoy the attention.

Suddenly Spitz reared his head up in alarm.

"What is it boy?" Alan said stopping alerting the others.

Spitz took a sniff and growled low in his throat his frill ready to come out at a moment's notice. It flapped like Elephant's ears along the side of his neck showing his nervousness. Frankie too looked up from his perch and listened. Everyone remained quiet listening to the sounds of the jungle.

It was silent save for the insects that buzzed around their ears. The birds were gone and so are the sounds of the smaller mammals.

"Everyone get ready to run," Alan said taking a step back.

Spitz looked to the left and to the right his posture was alert. He did not like the scent that was nearby and was ready to either flee or pounce. Taking a few good sniffs the Dilophosaurus swished his tail in wide arcs, and very rapidly each time growling.

That was when Alan finally heard it. A movement in the bushes had his head up and alert, ready to run. Something had streaked through the bushes. At first he thought it might be a raptor, but the movements were wrong. This pack was not organized at all like a raptor pack would be. Everyone gotten closer to each other while Spitz and Frankie were on alert.

There was a slight growling that could be heard as the footsteps had gotten louder and closer.

Then out of the bushes they came four red bodied, black stripped dinosaurs with white bellies on the bellies they came at them and the group began to run. Spitz smacked the closest one with his tail while clawing another. Then running after the group he would occasionally spit at one of the pack. Frankie took off into the trees when the first attack came and dove for the eyes of another dinosaur.

Alan and the others rushed towards the nearest tree, but they were blocked. Alan grabbed a large stick while Ian did the same trying to protect the kids. The kids were huddled between the adults and the dinosaurs. Lex was crying and holding onto the Tim while Jessie was doing the same from the other side. All three of them were clearly terrified of the dinosaurs that attacked them.

The first dinosaur hissed as it charged only to meet a face full of black venom. Spitz had aimed true as he spat venom at the nearest dinosaur. The second one came from the side hoping to scare off the dilophosaur. But the other dinosaur stood his ground and would not move. Frankie dove from the trees and attacked another one gauging its eyes as it screamed in agony. Try as it might Frankie moved away before it could swat at him.

Another dinosaur came at Frankie forcing the Archeopteryx to fly away into the trees. When he came back down he had something in his talons and when released it was a very fowl smelling fruit.

The dinosaur shook the fruit off before leaping after him. Frankie was taken from the tail and Alan screamed when he saw the dinosaur go for the kill.

But luck was on his side when Tim threw a rock at the dinosaur hitting it right in the eye. Screeching in pain the dinosaur let go of Frankie who clawed his eye. The dino however managed to swat Frankie in a tree knocking the smaller dinosaur out. Alan quickly rushed over to where Frankie was on the ground. His wing was at a bad angle meaning that Frankie is unable to fly and that meant the man was stuck with only one dinosaur.

Spitz however remained in the fight he was a dinosaur that would not give up. So he kept fighting even if he was supporting various wounds from numerous bites and slashes. Still the determined Dilophosaur will not give up on his family.

Just as things were looking bleak it was the gunshot that scared every creature in the jungle. The dinosaurs looked up and then scattered leaving the group where they were. Spitz growled low in his throat when the bushes parted and the party they were trying to avoid came right into view.

"Well, well what do we have here?" said a rather sinister voice.

The group turned to find none other then Miles and his team as they emerged from the Jungle. Their guns held towards their heads.

"Two pedophiles and three kids well ain't this something. Now what are you five doing out here with my dinosaurs?" Miles said.

"The dinosaurs are not yours," Alan replied. Spitz growled low in his throat ready to attack, but Alan had his hand on his crest in a firm grip. That is one way to tell him not to attack.

"Not mine? Where the fuck have you come from? They are all mine!" Miles said with a smug look.

"You stole them from me asshole all of them!" Alan growled and Spitz and Frankie growled with him.

"Really? Is that so? Well you must be Dr. Grant the dinosaur wrangler. Well it is good to know that we have two more of your dinosaurs. The small one will fetch a hefty price while that one there," he pointed to Spitz, "Will be food for the T-Rex."

"You will not get away with this!" Ian said and that was when the shot came from Mile's gun and Ian went down with a scream.

"Ian!" Jessie yelled.

"Shut your mouth rock star this is my gig now," Miles said.

"Miles, you asshole now the whole jungle knows we are here!" yelled a woman.

"Relax Nima we will be out before the sun sets. All we have to do now is capture the raptor and we will have our full set. Too bad we can't do nothing about the embryos. Nedry had really botched up the job now. At least we will be paid half the amount. But perhaps we can get more at the Visitor's Center." Miles bragged.

Alan could see the woman Nima growled darkly and muttered things in Spanish. Ian's ears perked up at the mention of a few choice words from the woman.

"Now lets get going!" he said happily.

They began to move towards Spitz but the Dilophosaur proved to be a match for them. Alan released his hold on Spitz's crests and the dinosaur went into action. Frill raised he spat at the nearest mercenary while going after another.

Another shot rang out and this time it was not towards them.

The tranquilizer dart hit Spitz and the Dilophosaur went for the nearest man. Well that was before the drug kicked in and he fell into an unconscious daze.

"SPITZ!" the kids yelled.

Spitz breathed deeply as the drug took effect but the damage had been done. The men moved in quickly one of them was smart enough to hold a muzzle. He wrapped it around Spitz and tied his limbs together. He was kept a hogtied style and as he was dragged along with a protesting Frankie. The five humans were being pushed by the woman Nima.

The blazing heat and the intense sunlight filtered through the trees making it difficult for anyone to breathe. But they kept going in the opposite direction of where Jessie was taking them.

Right towards the river.

"We can't go that way the giant croc will eat us!" said Jessie.

"WE will take our chances. The bridge is that way and we can cross the river safely." said Miles as he pushed them along the path.

Ian at this time was nursing his leg. The bullet went clean through shattering his upper thigh but that left a lot of blood on the ground.

Thankfully it was Nima to the rescue while the men marched in front. She was the one who guarded the rear. Taking down her bandanna she smudged some berries together and placed it into the wound. Ian nearly screamed and that caused the men to stop, but Nima only told them that she has to stop the bleeding. "If the other dinos smell the blood they will come after us. And I would rather avoid the big ones if you don't mind," said Nima.

"Fine whatever," Miles replied.

Nima was tending to Ian but she looked back at Miles and the other mercenaries all the same. Leaning in close she spoke to Ian, "Listen to me carefully if you want to live. I can get you and the others out with your animals. But you are going to have to trust me?" Nima said.

Ian's eyes perked up.

"Who are you?" he whispered.

"I am with the Costa Rican Intelligence. Now when the time is right you will run got it?" she said and Ian nodded, "Good tell the plan to the others wait till nightfall then we will go," Nima then gotten up and walked towards the back of the group again. Ian relayed Nima's message to the others and they all kept quiet.

Spitz struggled with his leash as Nima took the handle from one of the men. She soothed the dinosaur who crooned at her. She smiled before she made her way back to the men.

"What took you so long!" Miles complained.

"Oh shut the fuck up if that man bled any more then we will be attracting larger predators or don't you get that every dinosaur on this fucken island is loose!" Nima said.

"She's right boss he could have led them right to us," said one of the Mercenaries.

"Fine what the fuck ever now we are wasting time. Nima which way is to the river?" Miles said.

"About two hours that way," Nima said pointing in a direction.

"Alright let's go boys!" Miles said as he led them through the jungle. Looking up at the sky Jessie grew worried.

"Dr. Grant," she whispered to the paleontologist.

"Yes?" Alan replied.

"Last night when Mr. Nedry kidnapped me there were these dinosaurs that attacked me. They came from the shadows. If Spitz and Junior weren't there to protect me then they would have killed me. They are terrified of the light so are they like nocturnal or something?" Jessie asked.

"What did they look like Jess?" Alan asked now that he looked at the sky and the sun starting to dip towards the horizon.

"Um they had long snouts with very large eyes. They of course had sharp teeth and they have large claws on their feet especially one toe. They are about Spitz's size," Jessie said.

Alan felt his blood run cold, "Um Jessie what sounds do they make," Alan asked.

"They sound like some sort of clicker of sorts. They make these clicking sounds and their eyes glow in the dark." Jessie said.

"Ok, it is just past noon from the looks of it so if my watch is right it is around two. Ian how's the leg?" Alan asked.

"Not good shot me clean through Nima had to cauterize the wound with the berries so it would stop the bleeding," Ian replied.

"Alright kids stay close," Alan said.

The three children huddled close to Alan as they continued walking through the bush. Ian followed at a hobble leaning against Alan for support. The jungle was hot and the air was sticky. The insects were everywhere as the men constantly swatted at mosquitoes while Alan and the children remained fine. The mud from the night before provided some protection against the insects.

As they walked along the jungle floor suddenly one of the men stopped.

"What is it?" asked Miles.

"Shh listen," he said and sure enough the sounds of trumpeting could be heard.

Quickly moving out of the way a heard of Stegosaurus came crashing through along with some other three horned dinosaurs.

"Torosaurus," Alan whispered to the kids.

The herbivores moved across them not paying them any heed and ignored Spitz. The small dilophosaur merely stayed low to the ground. His muzzle prevented him from doing anything. Other then that he began to scratch an itch on his face with his foot. Just like a dog the dinosaur scratches at the leash but unlike the dog his claws are sharp and having escaped leashes before he was trying to get out.

The dinosaur in question looked around and saw that his family members were in fact in trouble. Growling could be heard as he tugged. One of the Mercenaries, the one that was watching him tugged hard on the rope. Spitz yelped when the man pulled on the dinosaur causing him to struggle more. Another hard yank and the dinosaur was under control to an extent. Alan was worried about his dinosaur but he could do nothing about it. The men who had captured him and the others are holding him hostage.

He looked towards the woman Nima as she looked ahead. When Ian told him that she was Costa Rican intelligence that proved that something was going down. Now if Jessie is right and there are some dinosaurs out there that are nocturnal then they might have a chance out of this.

He only has to wait.

JURASSIC PARK VISITOR'S CENTER LABORATORIES

Nico sniffed the ground with caution. Robert and Gerry had their guns out and approached with as much caution as the raptor. Ellie also carried a firearm just in case but all the same they managed to make it to the Visitor's Center in one piece. Henry held the little Troodon close so he don't lose him. The little one was more then happy to be held by his parent. His large eyes peered into the darkness as they entered the main laboratories.

Robert kept lookout with Nico while Ellie, Gerry and Henry went into the labs.

"Oh God!" Henry said when he saw the state of the nursery.

The door was slashed open meaning that the raptors had somehow gotten in here. When they got to the door there was blood everywhere and body parts all over the floor. Henry gasped at the sight and nearly gagged had it not been for the sound of something whimpering. Perking up he quickly went towards the far end of the nursery. The little Troodon was a help when he squeaked in surprise.

Henry quickly rushed to where some toy rocks were and found to his surprise the baby raptor from yesterday curled up in a ball frightened.

"Its ok little one, its alright!" he said gently.

The little raptor looked up and squeaked in alarm.

"Shh its alright come here I am not going to hurt you," Henry said and the little one slowly stumbled out.

Henry figured it must have survived by being able to fit in such a tight spot. The other raptors were not so lucky but this one...this one was a survivor.

It was then that Nico came into the room and Henry was afraid that the older raptor was going to hurt the baby. But to his surprise the little one walked right up to Nico and squeaked. Nico bent down and took a sniff before starting to groom the little one. Breathing a sigh of relief Henry quickly gathered up the baby raptor and some food for both babies and started to make his way out.

However before they even gotten very far Nico's remaining feathers raised in alarm and he started to growl. The others quickly raised their guns as they watched two raptors appear from on the stairs. Henry held the babies in alarm and both the troodon and the raptor huddled close for comfort.

"The back door," Henry whispered.

Nodding the others slowly backed way with Ellie guiding Nico. The raptor slowly backed up as well while the others tried to come in for the kill. Nico stood his ground against them but Ellie she had to tap his tail and avoid his teeth just to get him to follow.

Nico backed away slowly until he passed the door and then Ellie quickly closed it. They rushed out of the room and down the long hallway towards the area of the shelter. They were quickly joined by the other team as they rushed food and other items from the kitchens with them. They managed to make it in time to their shelter. After shutting the door Nico stood guard with his feathers raised and his teeth bared as the door was crashed into. The others held up their guns as the crashing continued. Screaming his defiance Nico waited till they left.

When he knows they did he lowered his feathers and the others lowered their guns. He then went over to where Henry Wu was feeding the hatchlings. The baby raptor seemed frightened until Henry held it steady for Nico to take a sniff. Nico sniffed the baby and began to clean it of some of the blood and gore from the day before. The baby squeaked in surprise before it too began to nuzzle the larger dinosaur. The baby Troodon also followed the raptor's example and began to clean the other baby. Both of them seemed content with each other which was rather cute.

Henry in the meantime is trying to process the fact that he is now in charge of two baby dinosaurs. Both of which quickly idol him and Mr. Hammond.

Being old as he was Mr. Hammond was the one whom the baby raptor imprinted on and she kept going towards Mr. Hammond. Luckily for the old man he remembered what Alan said about babies. Being on the ground helps when it came for a bit of food.

"We can't stay here forever," said one man.

"I know and with those things in the tunnels there is no way to get out of here," said another.

"Can't we call the mainland?" said Mitch.

"We could but the lines here are dead probably cut from the storm," said Ray.

"Fuck!" the man said.

"Then we have no choice then! We have to take back the Visitor's Center," Hammond said.

"And how the fuck are we going to do that? There is a whole pack of raptors there waiting for us!" said Mitch.

"Well for starters we need to see where the effected areas are. Then we have to figure out how to get the raptors out of the Visitor's Center." Ray said.

"We can use the tunnels," said Robert.

"But what about those Troodons?" asked Hammond.

"We have Nico with us. He can detect the Troodons before they appear. And we can use the night vision goggles to see them better." Gerry replied.

"Alright I'm in, we can see about the Troodons as well. In fact didn't I say they had to be euthanize?" Hammond said looking at Gerry.

"Hey don't look at me I didn't know they existed!" Gerry said.

"You told Sorkin to euthanize them, but you forgot that she used to be a hippie and an animal rights protester," Henry replied.

"Fucken bitch probably hid them at the field labs," Robert replied.

"When was the last time you were at the field labs?" Hammond asked.

"About six months ago I had enough problems with some of the more entertaining animals. Not to mention the whole stealing dinosaurs gig." Robert replied.

"Guys!" this time they all looked at Ellie as she petted Nico.

"We can take the tunnels and do as Robert said about the night vision. But remember they are limited to range. Nico can detect the Troodons while we are down there. All we have to do is get into the Control Room right?" Ellie asked.

They all nodded.

"Good now Ray since you are the expert on computers here how long till we get the system up and running?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know depends on how fast I can decipher the code and see how much damage Nedry did," Ray replied.

"Alright Nico will be our guide and we all go armed. This is just like back in Montana," Ellie said.

They packed up their things and started to make their way into the tunnels. Nico was in the lead sniffing out any form of animal present. They removed the sealant from the back door and made their way slowly in the dark. Gerry managed to find the light switch and the tunnels were lit. what they found was eerie but safe for travel.

"The Troodons must like the dark. These lights must spook them off since it is high intensity." Ray said.

Nico gave a whine and Ellie put her hand on Nico's side, "It's ok boy, its ok," she said.

They continued to work their way through the tunnels. The sounds of clicking alerted them to the presence of the Troodons. The so called Troodon's could be heard running through the ventilation shafts making their way towards them. Nico growled at their approach while the two babies huddled deeper into Henry's pockets. The baby Troodon poking his head out and then hiding it again.

"We need to move now!" Robert said and the group began to move faster. The sounds of clicking claws could be heard on the ground as many clawed feet started to go after them. One Troodon leaped from a shaft and bit down on one of the workers that was following them. Pulling them up they could hear his screams fill the hallways. Mitch was the next one to go as another one leaped onto him from behind.

Gerry managed to shoot that one before it could bite into Mitch.

A third made a grab at Ellie but Nico was there to stop it. A fourth leaped onto Nico to get at the raptor but Robert's well timed shot got it first.

"MOVE!" Robert yelled as they continued to run through the tunnels. The sounds of many clicking claws was still heard by the time they hit the door at the other end.

"Open the door!" Mitch shouted.

Ray ran towards the door with both Henry and Hammond with guns out. He immediately swiped his card and started typing the code to open the door.

They looked just in time to see the many claws clicking on pavement as Nico screamed a challenge. Just then blinding light started to pour in from outside. The Troodons screamed in pain as sunlight came in from the outside. Retreating the group managed to breathe a sigh of relief. The sounds of the jungle poured through their ears and the Vistor's Center loomed not far away.

"Well that went well," said Ray.

"Well now what?" asked a panting Gerry.

"Now we take back Jurassic Park," said Mr. Hammond.
