ALAN'S DINOSAURS

Chapter 27: Picking up the Pieces

JURASSIC PARK RESORT ISLA NUBLAR

"Hey Ray have you seen Frankie?" Gerry asked as he settled down. It has been about three hours since the Grady's left for home and Ray had filled Gerry in on what happened while he was gone.

"Nope haven't seen him since this morning," Ray replied.

"Has he done this before?" Gerry asked him.

"Yeah usually meant he is hunting for the chicks," Ray replied.

"Oh, alright I was just worried because the phone calls I usually get from you is when he is up to something," Gerry said.

"Nah the little shit was usually stealing my cigarettes that is why you heard me yelling," Ray replied.

"You know you should quit smoking that is not good for your health," Gerry said as he looked at Tank once more.

"I had for the past two weeks. Had a few episodes but that damn shit won't let me have a smoke. Every time I lit up he takes the damn thing away and buries it. I think he does not like the smell that's why." Ray said.

"Well if that is one way to get you to quit then I am all in for it," Gerry replied with a laugh.

Abril was in the kitchen serving the children something to eat. Both Parker and Zahara were saddened that the Grady's had to leave. All four of them had gotten along so well together and Zahara enjoyed playing dolls with Maria. Tien and Rosie were also saddened by the loss of their packmates. But even more so they are squealing because they are hungry.

"I don't know where is that annoying bird he should have been home by now," Ray said looking at the two chicks.

"Yeah….hold on a sec let me get something for them," Gerry said and had managed to use the roach trap they had to catch insects. It was nothing more then a bucket full of water and a mirror that Alan rigged to catch bugs. It worked and the insects helped to feed the little ones. He also had a rat station that he used to catch rats and mice. That also blended together with some fish that they had caught in the river helped to give the two a balanced diet.

As he was preparing the syringe with the paste for them to feed from Rexy made herself known by rumbling a deep rumble in her throat. Gerry still getting used to seeing her like this was surprised that Ray gave her a gentle pat.

"Don't worry Gerry you'll get used to her. Alan really mellowed her out with positive reinforcement." Ray replied.

As if understanding him Rexy's rumble was so deep that he could not hear her at all. But he felt the vibration of her rumble and it felt like a massage of sorts.

"You know what girl? You should do that to me more often," Ray said as he gave her a final pat.

Looking out the window Junior was busy sleeping next to Tank. The Ankylosaur was still recovering from her injuries with the heavy artillery. But she will be fine with some rest and some time to heal. Spitz was busy munching on some left over meat that someone gave him.

The Dilophosaur had not left Tank's side and refuses to do so. Junior and Rexy were the ones bringing him meat to eat. It seems as if a bond was forming between the two species. As if noticing Gerry's presence the said dinosaur raised his head and hooted a sad greeting. Gerry whistled back just like how Alan showed him. Spitz then leaned down and nuzzled Tank who gave a soft croon.

"You know they would have been mortal enemies if they had grown up separate. If this is what its like to have harmony at the park then I am down for a change." Gerry said as he watched the two.

"Yeah less stress on my part," Ray replied as he helped Abril set up the table. Parker and Zahara were not as enthused about eating as Rosie and Tien, but in the end all four youngsters showed their sadness.

"Hey guys don't be sad the Grady's will be back this summer. They just have to go back and deal with normal life back in the U.S." Gerry tried to comfort them.

"Speaking of U.S. How's Jessie doing?" Ray asked.

"She is going through a lot my ex-wife is not even going to go there with her. She was originally sent to me because Linda is going through a rough patch with her. Did you know that she was sent because she was caught shoplifting from a convenience store? Well that is what happened to her and why she here. Linda just couldn't deal with it and the police at the same time. So she scent Jessie to me to deal with since I live here in Costa Rica. Then if its not that then I had to deal with Sarah my eldest who was angry that I did not invite her along. How could I? I mean so much family bullshit going down that it was hard enough trying to deal with this crap," Gerry replied.

"Well I did not have it as bad as you. My wife left me for another man a while ago and come to find out the bitch caught the H.I.V. virus from him. You know that new STD that has been going down. She met the bastard on one of her trips to Africa and for a white guy he sure as hell was unfaithful to her in so many ways. Last I heard she was dumped and left in the middle of the Congo. Bitch had it coming," Ray said as he sat down.

Looking at the time and looking out he had a look that was worrying.

"What is wrong?" Gerry asked.

"Frankie should have been back by now. The little shit normally would have come back around this time with his dinner," Ray replied.

The sun had set and the T-Rexes went to hunt leaving Spitz alone with Tank. The dilophosaur was more then happy to stay. His sad hooting was echoing this place.

"The bond those two have are solid and Frankie gone even more so." Ray said to Gerry when they went to observe Spitz and Tank.

"That is a family Ray. Love is a bond and all of these dinosaurs share a bond. Now Rexy and Junior share that bond too," Gerry said.

Ray was shocked to hear this from Gerry about dinosaurs forming bonds of family. That was not something he would have thought up. Looking outside and the two dinosaurs sleeping together the proof was there.

The afternoon light was coming to a close as the last of the sun started to set. As night set in there was no signs of Frankie.

"I hope the little guy is ok," said Ray as they went to the table to eat.

The mood was somber with no word from Alan's group and the disappearance of the Grady's back to the mainland things were very quiet for the most part.

SEATTLE WASHINGTON TWO DAYS LATER

A small house on a ranch just north of the Seattle area and closer to the forested regions of Washington State. A van pulled up to the house that was there. The ranch was small and not as large as Dr. Grant's property, but it was fine for the group that was there. The Grady family pulled out of the van and Richard Grady the patriarch paid the man in the van as they offloaded their bags to take to their home. Exhausted and sore the family made their way back to their house.

Opening the house the Grady's were glad to be back home. Though it had taken them two weeks longer then expected due to circumstances. Things had been pretty good for the most part. Luckily Jessica called the school to tell them that they were held up on Costa Rica, and asked if they could send the children's school assignments home instead.

The package waiting for them when they arrived was expected from the postman and Jessica looked at the address in disdain.

It was from the school.

She had also gotten a call on her answering machine from the clinic. Thankfully she had anticipated this and had her vacation extended since she hardly took time off.

When she checked the messages things were the same.

Richard on the other hand was pulling bags out from the back of the van and helped the kids get settled. Owen struggled with his bag while Maria was fast asleep in her car seat. When Richard gotten her out and the cab driver managed to get the seat out. The Grady's paid him and saw him off. When the rest of them entered their home Jessica handed Owen his school assignments as well as the simple assignments for Maria.

Since Maria started preschool she was only given simple ABC's and 123 assignments.

Owen on the other hand had a lot more to do and was groaning from head to toe. That meant that he had to do his homework before going back to school. It was then that he heard something barking. Turning his head he was greeted by their dog Ruby. A purebred Golden Retriever as she bounded her way to them.

"Hey girl!" Owen greeted her and she leaped up to lick his face. The Grady's gave her a pat. Ruby was left at the neighbors house to be cared for while they were gone. When the day came for their return the neighbors dropped her off inside the house. The dog barked happily as she wagged her tail. That happy bark turned into one of curiosity when she stopped at one of the bags. She started barking continuously.

"Ruby stop it! Honey she probably was smelling the dinosaurs," Richard said to Jessica when Jessica shouted for Ruby to be quiet. The dog kept barking at the bag and it was Jessica who sighed, "Owen dear take that bag of yours upstairs please and go to bed it is rather late," Jessica said to her son.

Owen was more then happy to go to bed. Running up the stairs and forgetting to take off his shoes he reached his room and turned on the light. Ruby the dog followed him as he put his bag down on the floor near the foot of the bed. Ruby was sniffing the bag and Owen shooed her away.

"Out Ruby," he said as he pulled his socks off unknowingly the large bag began to move. The suitcase was already upstairs but Ruby began to bark even more.

"Ruby shut up!" Owen said and shoved the dog out of his room and closed the door. The dogs barking became insistent. Owen looked around his room and saw nothing going on. His room looked like that of any typical teenage boy...well early teenage boy. Rock bands and superheros filled the walls. But mostly dinosaurs and animals and a Machintosh computer just off to the end in the corner.

Sighing with the insistent barking Owen opened the door hearing his mother yell from downstairs.

"RUBY FOR FUCK'S SAKE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Jet lag was really getting to her.

"Ruby!" Richard was calling to her. The dog continued to bark but Richard came up the stairs.

"Owen!" he called to him.

"I don't know what is going on dad she just kept barking at my bag." Owen said.

It was then that Richard finally noticed the bag…

and that it moved.

"Owen, son did you check your bag before you got on the helicopter?" he asked.

"Yes dad I packed all my stuff.." "No Owen I meant did you check it for unwanted passengers," he said.

"What?" now Owen was confused. When he finally turned around it was then that he saw his bag.

It was moving.

Both Grady's slowly approached the bag as it moved again. This time chirping could be heard from it as it moved while the dog started into the room again.

"Ruby no!" Owen said and went to reach for the dog. It was then they saw the zipper move and a single clawed hand moved the Zipper further down. Ruby leaned in and began to sniff. It was also then that she had received a very nasty bite right on her nose. Yowling in pain she leaped backward into the air before running from the room. Both Owen and Richard looked towards the bag and saw the claws emerge. Then a very familiar feathered head.

"FRANKIE!" they said.

Frankie looked around the room and struggled to get out of the bag. When he did he shook himself off before hopping onto Owen's bed.

"Frankie what the fuck!" Owen said to the dinosaur.

"Owen watch your language!" Richard said.

"Richard darling what was that….FRANKIE!" Jessica said and this woke Maria who started to cry. Jessica went to comfort her daughter while the boys looked in bewilderment at the archeopteryx.

ISLA NUBLAR

The phone began to ring consistently in the hotel room. It was Abril who answered and after listening to whoever was on the other side gave the phone to Ray.

"Hello?" Ray said.

"Um Ray did by chance you noticed a certain small dinosaur go missing?" Richard's voice said on the other side.

"As a matter of fact yeah….of fuck please don't tell me," said Ray.

"Yep somehow he had gotten into Owen's bag and is now here with us." said Richard.

"OH thank God!" Ray said.

"What is it?" said Gerry as he came out of the shower.

"Well we know what happened to that little shit," Ray said.

"Frankie, where is he?" asked Gerry.

"Somehow that little shit managed to get into one of the kids bags and now he is in the U.S. with the Grady's," replied Ray.

"Oh fuck!" Gerry said.

"My thoughts exactly," said Ray.

When Abril asked what was with the swearing Ray replied in Spanish. The woman's eyes went wide and then she burst into laughter. She could not stop as tears came to her eyes and nearly fell to the floor heaving. Then one by one all three started laughing.

On the other line the Grady's were just confused….and then it clicked and they could hear laughter from the otherside as well.

"Well Richard now we know where the little fucker is and when this is over we can somehow get him," said Ray.

Abril was laughing when Gerry translated.

She said something back.

"What did she say?" Richard said on the other line.

"OH she said she wishes he were here so I don't have to smoke. But I say fuck it because now I can smoke without him stealing my cigs," Ray replied.

The curse that sounded from the other end was all the three heard when the phone hung up. When it was done they all burst into laughter at Frankie's antics once again.

Now that they know where he is at the three of them can concentrate on what to do from there. The three adults gathered around the table. The children had long since went to bed and the baby dinosaurs are safe in their makeshift nest. Spitz was still sleeping outside and would occasionally cry for anyone of his family members. The humans don't blame him. Two days had past since Grant, Muldoon and Wu last checked in and no signs of them yet.

"I hope they are ok? I mean what if those thugs are out there," said Gerry.

Ray translated for Abril, "Luego matamos a esos bastardos que les hicieron esto y lastimaron a mi esposo e hijos." (Then we kill those bastards who did this to them and they hurt my husband and children.) Abril said and grabbed a gun.

"Ok," said Gerry.

It was then that they heard a noise. It was faint but they heard it on the wind. Spitz suddenly started making noise his hoots were excited and his barking calls were shrilly. Tank's deep rumble was also heard as she slammed her tail on the ground.

"Oh shit," Gerry said as he rushed out followed by Ray and Abril.

The pounding of Tank's tail also awakened the children who leaped in fear before realizing that something was happening.

Rexy and Junior were also roaring a greeting. It was heartwarming to hear them as they all raced out to hear the sound. It was a shrill cry that was heard again when they approached one they had anticipated for a while.

It was Sarah the Pteranodon.

Sarah however was not as it seemed. The pterosaur was skittish when she landed but it was enough to let the one single passenger off. What they discovered however was not a warm greeting of the return of friends.

It was a wounded Sarah and an even more wounded Dr. Henry Wu.

"Henry!" they shouted when they saw him.

Henry was barely on his feet when he collapsed on the ground.

HOURS LATER

Eyes opened slowly as Henry looked up at the faces of both Gerry and Ray.

"Gerry?" he said looking at the veterinarian who was checking his vitals.

"Hey Henry how are you doing?" he asked.

"Where?" Henry wanted to know.

"The medical unit at the Visitor's Center," Gerry replied as he docked down the vitals.

"How…?" Henry's mind was foggy at best and all he remembered was Alan and Robert yelling.

"You came back here on Sarah and she is looking just as bad as you. What happened on Isla Sorna Henry," this time it was Ray who asked.

Henry's mind was still foggy at best as he tried to put the pieces together. It was all too much for him. It was then that chirping alerted him to something on the bed beside him. Looking down Tien and Rosie were happily sleeping on his chest.

"They refused to leave your side when they saw you come home," Ray said to him.

Slowly Henry reached out and stroked Tien's head the little Troodon opened his eyes to look at Henry. All he felt from them were adoration and unconditional love from them. His purring also helped Rosie opened one eye also when she saw this. She chirped her response as well and Henry returned the favor. Taking deep breaths the memories slowly started to come back to him.

"We got to the island alright but the workers there were slaughtered." he said

"That is what Robert told me on the phone," Ray said.

"Yeah but it was not by dinosaurs. They were killed my mercenaries because we saw some of the soldiers there. They had American markings on them," Henry said.

"American? Are you sure?" Gerry asked.

"Yes, either military or ex-military but they had American markings," Henry replied.

"The ones who attacked us had the same as well," Ray replied.

"The Grady's?" he asked

"Home in the U.S. with that little shit Frankie," Ray replied.

"Good at least they are safe," with that Henry closed his eyes and fell asleep.

TWO DAYS LATER

This time when Henry awoke he was back in the hotel room with both Tien and Rosie once again on his lap. The little ones had grown a bit and are now about half and arm's length about the size of a pomeranian dog. Both were also very happy to see the figure they only knew as mother. Henry was more then surprised when Tien licked his face and began to make a chirr sound. Then he began to nuzzle Henry until the Asian man had no choice but to start chuckling. Which point he slowly lifted his hand to stroke the Troodon.

Tien sniffed at the hand before rubbing his head against it.

"Hello Tien," Henry croaked.

Rosie not wanting to be left behind also wanted attention. Henry used his other hand to help scratch her underside. The velociraptor chick was more then happy to have a bit of attention.

"They miss you," said a voice and Henry looked up from where he was laying down to see Gerry there with his arms crossed.

"Where...am...I?" Henry asked.

"Back at the hotel it was no longer safe to keep you at the Visitor's Center," Gerry replied.

"Oh," Henry replied as he looked around, "How long was I out?" he asked.

"Nearly two days Henry. You ran a dangerously high fever and you nearly lost a lot of blood. We have no means to get you off of this island as there is another storm that is blowing around us right now," Ray replied and sure enough Henry could hear the sounds of the heavy rain outside the hotel. Luckily for them they were on the inner part facing in the courtyard and protected by the hard sunroof.

He was not able to get up but from the sounds of it larger dinosaurs are sheltered out there. Then he remembered the pteranodon that saved his life.

"Sarah! Is she?" he asked.

"Sarah is fine and is resting with Tank. They both took a hard hit from the looks of it. And you too, it was lucky that Abril is a retired doctor and is able to patch you up," Gerry said.

"Abril? José's wife?" Henry asked.

"Yes," Gerry replied while Ray went to get Henry something to drink.

"Why didn't she tell us?" Henry asked.

"We didn't ask," Gerry replied.

It was then that the said person came in to check up on his vitals. Making sure his fever is going down and she shook her head. Speaking something to Gerry in Spanish she then walked out of the room. She returned a few minutes later with a cool compress and a syringe.

She spoke again to Gerry who nodded.

"What did she say?" Henry asked unable to hear.

"She says your fever has still not gone down. You are very sick and you had a horrible case of some sort of disease," Gerry said.

"The DX virus, the notes, tell Abril she must study the notes! They are on..." it was then that before he could get worked up a large head entered Henry's vision. To his surprise it was Junior the smaller T-Rex as she leaned in from the window. Being smaller then Rexy her head is able to fit in the hotel window better then her larger adult companion.

She was curious as to see the man sick on his bed near the window. The sound of thunder was heard very loudly outside but so far everyone is safe. The good thing about the hotel is that it is on a hill. High above the flowing rivers and the swampy flat plains in the valleys below. Junior was more then content to study Henry. Her large golden eye shown with curiosity as she leaned down closer to him.

Taking a sniff she gave a soft croon. When she was about to get rough both Gerry and Abril hissed warning her it is not good. She leaned back a bit realizing her mistake. Then she looked at Henry again as the sick man looked back. His eyes softened to see such an adorable behavior.

Satisfied that he was going to be fine she pulled back and Henry assumed was going back to where Spitz and Tank were. But another shadow filled the window this one Henry had grown accustomed to.

Sarah was smaller then the larger Rex so she was able to enter the room. Though it was a tight fit she crawled in to where Henry was laying down. She gave a soft whistle as she leaned in to him. Henry reached up slowly and stroked her beak. Gerry and Ray had long since removed the saddle that was on her skin. Allowing her to wash herself of the muck and the grime that had built on it.

"Thank you," he said to her as he stroked her beak.

Sarah whistled as she slowly leaned her beak across his belly. Gently nipping him she was glad to know he was ok. As soon as she was sure he was going to be ok she went back to her perch on the balcony. It was a good thing that InGen built this building to be strong. Or else the weight of Sarah and Junior would have toppled it.

"Did something happen to me?" Henry asked.

"Henry you flatlined several times before we were able to stabilize you," Ray said.

"Fuck!" Henry replied.

"Plus those bullet wounds in your leg they were infected that and whatever disease you caught was slowly killing you. Abril had to use a special plant she had found in the jungle to help you. That and have Spitz cough up some of his poison to make sure you did not move." Ray said as he gave Gerry a cup of coffee.

"What happened Henry," said Gerry.

With the last of his strength Henry explained what happened to the three men and the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna. He even explained about the video cassettes and the burials they had to do to all the dead workers. He even went on to explain the discovery they had found about the disease they had uncovered. Even the attack of the enraged dinosaurs and the mercenaries. Ray and Abril explained about the ones who attacked them the last night the Grady's were with them. They even told about how Tank fell ill with injury and why he was at the hotel instead of the hospital wing.

"Damn compys came through like a thunderstorm. They destroyed everything and tried to kill you several times. If it was not them then it was those damn Troodon. Tien was the one who saved you from death the little warrior. He and Rosie fought off a number of compys before we could get you out. But we had to take you there to get operated on because of the bullet in your leg," Ray said.

Henry nodded taking it all in then with a sad sigh he looked outside. He got a clear view of the surrounding building and the trees. Even beyond the trees where the rain came down in sheets. It was so thick that the darkness was held back by a thin sheet of gray. But the constant noise was deafening.

"So what are we going to do now?" he asked.

"First we will lick our wounds then go from there," Ray said to him.

"Ok," Henry said and closed his eyes once again.

TWO WEEKS LATER

It took about two weeks for Henry to be able to get out of bed. It was a slow tedious recovery to some point. But it had taken him that long without proper medical care. But even still trying to get off the island to get him to a proper hospital without prior arrangements is hard. It was not due to the lack of transportation. There was plenty of that it was mainly due to the weather. Isla Nublar was constantly getting tarnished by the weather as the rains start to subside. It was strange this time of year with the approaching dry season coming up. It was not unusual for the occasional storm like Hurricane Clarissa to strike but it is unusual for three storms to strike the island. Now however hopefully Henry can finally receive some help for his illness.

Ray had hung up the phone and sighed. Henry needs help even if he was able to get out of bed he is going to need a full doctor besides Abril. But to get someone here is not going to be easy. Especially when you have several dangerous dinosaurs as watchdogs outside your window.

Speaking of which.

Looking out the window he spotted Rexy chewing on a bone to clean her teeth. While Tank now fully recovered munching away just outside their shelter. The rain had finally subsided so the ankylosaur was making the most of it with the new growth. Gerry and the kids were busy hauling away the dinosaur dung out of the hotel because the smell was horrendous. Thank goodness for the rain at night for it washes the feces down the hill towards the swamps. But to get them there was a hassle.

Thank God he didn't have to do any of that.

Instead he is stuck in the room with his Macintosh working his way through the system. He had to rewire the hotel to allow him to do this. It was a dangerous task and one that nearly gotten him eaten. But Ray was adamant about getting it done.

"You ok?" asked a voice and Ray turned to see Abril standing over him with a cup of coffee. Her English was terrible but at least she was learning some of it.

"I am fine," Ray replied in Spanish.

"Is it true? Those men took my husband, Dr. Grant and Mr. Muldoon?" she said concern on her face.

"From what Henry told us yes, those same men took Alan, Robert, and your husband. But we will get them back," Ray promised.

With that Abril went to check on the children who were outside helping with cleaning the dinosaur sleeping area.

They found that certain plants had properties that could help but Henry needed surgery and he needed to get to a hospital.

"This weather is not helping we need to get Senor Henry to a doctor who can help him. I am limited to what I can do," Abril said looking defeated.

"Don't worry Abril I hope this weather lets up so we can call a helicopter." said Ray.

MEANWHILE

It was then that thunder could be heard but luckily it was not where they were going to be. Gerry was just glad to be able to finish with the children when Sarah hobbled to them. She was still recovering from her ordeal and had multiple bandages on her body. Since it was rather painful Gerry and the kids had taken up cleaning Sarah. The pteranodon was most happy to be cleaned. The other dinosaurs helped too with Spitz and Tank. Rexy and Junior not so much.

Now the pteranodon gave a sad whistle and Gerry stroked her bill like how he'd seen Alan and the Grady's do. It was a soothing motion.

"There, there Sarah it is alright," he said to her. She rubbed her bill against him in a friendly notion. He returned it by wrapping his arm around it and stroking it further.

"She is big bird," said a small voice.

Gerry chuckled as he looked down.

Zahara and Parker started to learn English from the Grady's. They wanted to communicate with their friends and so learned to speak English. Though it was not as good as it should be and heavily accented it worked to their favor.

"Yes she is a big bird. Her name is Sarah," Gerry said to Zahara who was the smaller of the two and the youngest.

Sarah looked down at the girl her large dark eyes showed curiosity as the looked at the girl. Gerry slowly pulled away allowing the pteranodon to explore the girl.

"Don't come too fast Zahara, Sarah is not used to you," Gerry said.

The young girl hesitated before she came closer slowly. Sarah who was used to children leaned down to appear non-threatening. Her appearance was a bit scary due to her sheer size even for a pteranodon. But she let Zahara come closer and when she was close she whistled at her. The girl squeaked with laughter when she heard this and started petting Sarah's beak. The pterosaur was more then happy to enjoy her time playing. Her brother not wanting to be left behind was soon joining her in playing with Sarah.

The pterosaur was more then happy to enjoy this time of peace.

INSIDE THE HOTEL ROOM

Henry Wu was resting peacefully on his bed the babies refused to leave his side. As he rested the sounds of the forest filled his ears and the peaceful noises of the children outside playing lulled him into a sense of serenity. The only thing keeping him from experiencing full rest was the constant cough and the pain in his chest. The disease was taking its toll on him and Henry needed to find a cure.

But the was no medical doctor he was a geneticist and as such it was out of his expertise. The only comfort he can take for this was his children were here with him. Tien and Rosie tried to feed him bugs but he politely refused. Tien especially wanted to spend time with Henry and slept peacefully with him. Looking down at his chick he was surprised by how much he had grown.

Tien was no longer the tiny baby that had been in his pocket that first few weeks. Now he had grown to about the length of his arm. He and Rosie are growing rapidly and as such both needed to feed more often. Luckily they started hunting with Spitz who took them out into the forest to teach them how to ambush prey. They would return to rest with their sick father in the morning.

It was that morning that Henry was awoken to the smells of Abril's cooking and the sights of Ray Arnold typing away on a computer they managed to drag back from the Visitor's Center. The systems brought here must have been a lot of effort. But Ray was busy typing away at the code on the computer.

"How much did you guys bring with you?" Henry asked.

"Not much just some of the super computers and the basics. Took a lot of effort to reroute the power to here and shut down the Center fully." Ray replied.

"I'm surprised you hadn't started smoking again since Frankie is not here," Henry joked with him.

"I wish but ever since he started stealing my packs and burying it I can't seem to get around to smoking again." Ray replied.

Well that is one way to quit, Henry thought.

Just as he heard that a haunting sound was heard. Looking towards the window a herd of Brachiosaurs was passing through. Tank was heard giving a greeting to her fellow herbivores and the reply was imminent. The loud booming noise was deafening but also alluring and peaceful.

The ground shook as they pass on by leaving the group in awe. Henry was coughing again and this time Abril managed to get him to get up to allow him to cough.

However things were not looking good.

"He is coughing up blood that is not good. I don't have the means to check but if I am correct he has tuberculosis," Abril said to them.

"We can't get him help with this stormy weather," said Ray as he looked at the weather reports.

"We have to try!" said Abril.

Tank suddenly gave a snort and started to bellow. Sarah who had retreated to the hotel's perches also started to screech. Spitz's frill was out fully as he hiss and hollered. Not far they could hear Rexy and Junior also roaring.

Things were not right with the world.

Suddenly the ongoing sound of thunder filled their ears. Ray suddenly ran for his rifle while Henry remained in bed. The sound of a helicopter filled their ears as it landed just off from the hotel. Rexy was about ready to attack when a dart suddenly came out of nowhere. The huge predator took a leap hoping to get to the helicopter.

Sarah was too injured to do much only spread her wings in a threatening display. Her earlier flight from Isla Sorna to Isla Nublar through a storm had put a heavy strain on her wings. The pteranodon had not flown since and the others had to feed her. Luckily for her she was busy keeping the children safely protected under her wings. Tank thrashed her tail ready to swing when another tranquilizer fell on both Sarah and Spitz causing them to fall as well.

Tank being too well armored was tranquilized when someone shot her with a canister of gas. The animal instantly went down. Henry shocked at seeing this tried to do something anything. But Abril only put a hand to his shoulder and signaled that the children would be hurt if he did anything. His own two youngsters only growled at the men coming in. But Henry put his hands gently on either of their heads. Stroking them down to keep them calm.

A man slowly walked towards them his footsteps sure as the men surrounding him. When he got to the hotel he looked around before entering. Ray was already there standing with the three of them. They watched as they pointed guns at Gerry and the children. This had gotten Abril's hairs standing on end.

The helicopter that landed in the open field just outside of the hotel was a large transport helicopter. Men and vehicles poured out of them as the men made to secure the area. Large herbivore dinosaurs all ran towards the forests in fear. The herds also followed them hoping to keep them safe.

When they neared the hotel the dinosaurs were safely tranquilized and soon the door was kicked in and a group of men came wearing United States Military uniforms. From them entered a rather large man with a general's uniform emerged. He walked over to where the group was stationed and looked around.

"Quite a place you got here," he said starting a conversation. Both Tien and Rosie growled low in their throats. The man eyed the two before slowly lowering himself to their level. Slowly he raised his hand and let them both sniff before scratching under Rosie's chin. Rosie closed her eyes in content as it happened. The same was done to Tien as the two babies were pacified. Slowly the general gotten up.

"At ease gentlemen we have much to discuss." he said.

A/n: I wanted to cut this one short because it was getting a bit strange. The reason is because this was a chapter about recovery and I wanted to end it there. Now before I go I wanted to tell you that I will be posting the contest rules shortly. Just have to work out a few tweaks here and there. So on that note hope you enjoyed this chapter and remember to please leave a review at the end. And please for the love of me no FLAMES, BASHINGS OR LORE MONGERS PLEASE!
