DISCLAIMER; I DO NOT OWN JURASSIC PARK OR WORLD THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
A/n: OMG! The amount of love for the last chapter was immense! The people's reactions to the very end was something that was thrilling to say the least. I am glad you guys love this story so much even with the delays in getting chapters up and running. Now for those of you wondering no I have not given up on this story at all! This is a fave of mine to write the other being my Mass Effect and Game of Thrones stories.
Now as you all know my real life situation is a shit hole so when I do have the time to write I will write and post it here. Other then that it allows me time to come up with something new. Since we are in between the events of JP! And LWJP a lot of events have been going down since Jurassic Park closed permanently. As you can guess the DX virus is loose and people are getting sick. If you don't know about the DX virus then you have not read the book. Me personally I had not read the book in over 20 years and had lost my copy when my mother threw it in the trash. So for a quick explanation DX stands for Dinosaur Extinction Virus. It was a virus that came about due to poor animal husbandry. Mostly in the pretense of food for the carnivores such as prions infected sheep and goats. These in tern infected the compys that eat their poop. They then bite the herbivores and you know how that goes.
Basically it was a prions based disease that in the novel would eventually kill off the dinosaurs. In my version I incorporated those characteristics into my story but with my own twist. Since Biosyn is willing to go that far into stealing others genetic creations for themselves and taking the credit. I thought it would be plausible to assume they had some things they created on their own such as the DX virus. Of course Biosyn is lazy in terms of safety and corrective practices as you probably already read in the last chapter. It was briefly explained how Biosyn created the virus as a sort of bioweapon against InGen and the dinosaurs. But instead of outright stealing it from InGen they discovered it as a fossil. An ancient species of disease that predates Rabies and other Lyssavirual diseases. I thought it was more fitting then what Micheal Chriton wrote in his novel.
Anyhow I hope this explanation helps a bit for those of you who don't understand a thing. And I also hope that things will come more to light in the next chapter of two.
Alright now that, that is out of way time for more mayhem in another chapter of….
ALAN'S DINOSAURS
Chapter 32: The T-Rex Carnival!
San Jose, Costa Rica
Screaming could be heard as people ran for their lives down the once busy street of San Jose, Costa Rica. People rushed out of their cars and many more running into buildings as an enormous predator ran through the street. The animal ran at full speed chasing down cars and even some trucks. It crashed through several buildings and into several more cars before coming into the streets once more. Bodies lay everywhere as people and animals were slaughtered. Those that survived were quickly taken to a nearby shelter where they can later be taken to the hospital further down the road.
As the victims were coming in many of them were tested and treated for the DX virus. Those that were positive were taken to another room to be isolated from those that were negative. Even then they were kept under quarantine until further notice. All the while the police and the army are trying to put this mad animal down, but its rampage had proven that it could not be controlled. The news broadcasts were going off the charts with how many bullets and artillery were wasted in trying to kill it. But the virus only made it angrier as its bleeding form raged through the city. The government tried to keep it under wraps, but the amount of people hurt or killed by this animal has reached media from around the world. Luckily no one seen the animal yet, but that did not stop them from going balistic with their news.
In the heat of it all was none other then General Vitkiss who has been put in charge of protecting the secrets or non-existent secrets of the dinosaurs. The animal has somehow gotten onto the local news and its image was enough to show that it was indeed a monster. Putting the news paper on the table he watched as the two men in front of him observed the image that is shown to them.
"Oh shit!" said both said at the same time. If it was any other time the General would be laughing. Today however he is not laughing.
"Ah fuck its an Allo!" Gerry Harding said as he looked at the photo.
"A what?" asked the soldier who held up the newspaper.
"Allosaurus one of our bigger carnivores and one that was going to be introduced later in the park," said Gerry as he looked at the images. They did not look good at all and the amount of people either dead or infected continues to rise. Just as he said it another animal made itself known.
Rexy was busy sniffing the ground where the Allo had defecated. Her mouth was wide open at the scent and a hiss could be heard indicating she smelled something. As she walked through the streets who ever was left ran for their lives from the larger predator. Rexy then moved around sniffing and defecating showing that she now claims this territory. Not far behind Rexy, Junior also joined the party. The smaller T-Rex was busy exploring the shops that were vandalized and even breaking a few windows to see what she could find inside. Gerry and Henry had a hell of a time trying to keep her on track. Rexy then began to scratch alongside the buildings marking her scent as she sent a growl throughout the street. Parts of the buildings came crumbling with the amount of force being used to scratch.
Soldiers were quick to move away from the animal as she let out a piercing roar. It echoed across the empty streets as the Rex listened for any signs of the creature that roamed the roadways of the Nation's Capital. As men moved out of the way many people who were not taken or eaten were watching from the safety of their shelters.
Gerry watched from his perch on the rooftops accompanied by Henry and Spitz. The Dilophosaur was a lot better behaved then his larger companions. Probably due to the fact he was trained to deal with this sort of situation. He remained as he was constantly watching and not wishing to get involved. Yawning he laid his head on the ledge watching the proceedings down below. A huff was drawn to indicate his boredom.
Henry looked through his binoculars from his vantage point and he shook his head in shame, "These people do not deserve this," he said to Gerry.
"I know, and if we can find that Allo we need to put him down," Gerry said knowing that there is no hope in helping the animal. It has caused enough damage and from what the videos have shown. Both men knew that the animal is in its final stages of the disease. The virus itself is dangerous and with that said they continued the hunt. Gerry hopes the antibiotics and the rabies shot he gave Rexy and Junior are enough. Spitz has also been given the vaccine though much earlier in his life. Alan had given Gerry the records of his animals health when they were investigating Nedry back on Nublar.
With a hoot and a chirp Spitz suddenly rose up and so were the two men. His growl was eminent as his frill flapped with a slight rattle indicating his unease. Henry jumped in surprise when Rexy and Junior both roared in defiance of something.
"General something's up have the men on alert," said Gerry through his walkie.
"Copy that," was the reply. Both men hung up their walkies and looked around. Gerry kept his binoculars ready in case the Allo tried something.
Suddenly the bushes from a nearby park went off and both Rexy and Junior roared in challenge. But the only thing that came out were the birds and a group of city dwelling monkeys. Finding no challenge and seeing no threats both dinosaurs continued to trudge through the city. Spitz however was not deterred as he kept his eyes focused from his vantage point on the buildings. His eyes sharp as he looked towards the group of trees that separated the park from the people. It was his hooting that alerted the group that something was there.
Both Gerry and Henry also looked in the direction. It was only when Spitz raised his frill and it began to rattle that they knew they found it.
"We got eyes on the target," said Gerry as he focused his binoculars and gotten his walkie. He informed the men where the dinosaur was. Both Rexy and Junior having heard Spitz returned to see for themselves. But as they gotten closer all they could hear was flies.
"Sir, we found the runaway dinosaur….it's dead," said a soldier on the walkie. Gerry and Henry both sighed with relief at the sound of it.
"Alright we will be there shortly make sure the cleanup crew has protective gear at all times and hazmat suits. This creature is carrying the disease," Henry replied into the walkie.
"Copy that," before the line went dead. Both men sighed before they went about their way with Spitz following. Spitz gave a hoot as he slowly made his way towards the door that led down towards the ground level. Stopping only for a second to look around the Dilophosaur then proceeded to follow Gerry and Henry back down towards the ground level.
SOMETIME LATER
It was not till a half an hour later that found the group in front of the corpse. Already there were people taking samples of the creature's saliva and blood. Another was taking tissue samples as well as taking bits of contents from its already engorged stomach. Spitz not liking the stench remained back and away from the body. The Allosaur had died from the massive bullet hole in its chest cavity. From the looks of it someone had a bazooka. But who? There was no sound of an explosion...unless.
"Does anyone own any high powered rifles with explosive rounds?" asked Gerry remembering Muldoon's lessons on weaponry.
"Yeah, figured someone else might have taken the shot," said General Vitkiss looking at the wound.
"You think that might have killed it?" asked Henry.
"Positive, see the size of this hole and how clean it is? This was done by a .50 caliber rifle, the shot went clean through to the heart. That was probably what finally killed it. This part by the head with the brains must have been a second shot. Whoever killed it was an expert shot. Probably from one of the local cartels here in the city. I bet they are still here. If this animal's snot has gotten into any of the drinking water then the whole block might be contaminated. We have to make sure that does not happen. In the mean time you boys get your dinos back to the compound. We will handle the clean up and get these samples to Dr. Bradshaw for further analysis." General Vitkiss said. Both men nodded before Henry looked to Gerry, "Any Idea where the Rexes have gone?" he asked.
"I have no idea...let's just find them before something else happens," Gerry said sounding worried. Henry had to agree with him.
MEANWHILE
In what was once a convenience store a woman sat there in the corner with her two children. Both of them nearing their teen years. The eldest a boy about twelve held onto his mother tightly while his sister clung to their father who also held onto his wife. The family along with their baby resided in a small home just on the second floor of an apartment building. They were awoken when the monsters started rampaging through their street. First was the one with the drooling mouth. Now this one in front of them.
They all held their breath daring not to move as the creature sniffed about their small store. The animal was a monster wanting to destroy their home in search of something. As it did so they had forgotten the smallest of their family. An infant that was only a few months old sleeping off to the side unaware of the creature that lurked inside their home.
The animal sniffed as it held its snout just inches away from the children's faces. They had their view of the very large teeth just in front of them. The rotting breath coming out in huge gusts of air.
Suddenly the sound of something sniffing and cackling alerted the parents immediately to the smallest of the family. The little infant had been starting to awaken from the sounds of the monster. A low growl could be heard as the infant then started scream for its mother. Just as the infant started to cry it startled the large animal as it lifted its head in alarm. The entire roof and the building above began to cave in as the family started to scream in terror.
NOT TOO FAR AWAY
Spitz's roar of danger alerted both Henry and Gerry to what was going on. The roar of Rexy and the sounds of screaming people alerted the group to the location of their missing dinosaurs.
"Oh shit!" said Henry.
"Fuck!" cursed Gerry and both men along with Spitz and a few soldiers rode their jeeps towards the commotion.
Just as they rounded the corner Rexy was busy chasing a family of five down the street. All the while Junior was having the time of her life terrorizing others into running. Already she was chasing a group of what appears to be gang members as they tried to shoot her down. The experienced juvenile knew about guns and avoided them all while trying to take down the jeep.
The people that were still in the streets were clearly in a panic now that their homes are being terrorized by two very large and very agitated dinosaurs. Henry turned towards General Vitkiss who was just as startled as they were, "We told you," he said to him.
"But you said they were trained!" Vitkiss said.
"No we said only the male was trained, the females were in the beginning stages of being socialized and then trained. You can't expect them to behave General. We tried to warn you and now look at what you've done," Henry replied.
Just as he finished saying it Rexy barged into a half made float for a parade event and smashed it to nothing. She then gotten caught on some of the cables and began to thrash violently. Junior was busy going through a florist trying to find something interesting to play with. Spitz remained by the men and his frill was flapping in agitation. He tried calling to them but the two larger predators were too busy causing mayhem to listen.
The general sighed before going to his radio. He began to bark orders in Spanish before he turned to the two men.
"Well since tranquilizers are the only things to get them down how are we going to get them back to the compound?" he asked them.
It was then that Spitz suddenly shrieked as he let his frill fill out all the way. It rattled a warning causing all three of them to turn suddenly towards the commotion.
It was apparent that Rexy discovered a drug ring for gunshots were being fired at a rapid rate. The sight of white powder was a sure sign that something went down. It was then followed by very loud gunshots meaning that the people inside had more then hand guns. This agitated the Tyrannosaurs even more as Junior suddenly rammed into the building. All three men watched as the massive dinosaur managed to catch one man and threw him towards the building next door. All they could do is watch in shock as Rexy rammed into the building again. This time the entire complex caved in while both Rexes moved away from the rubble. The group could only watch as those that remained alive screamed in terror as both dinosaurs began to feast.
SAN JOSE COMPOUND
Now when all this was going on there was one person watching them from the sidelines. Two if you included one of the hospital patients currently in a cast. Both Ian Malcolm and Ray Arnold watched the scenes unfold in front of them. Ian with his eyes rounded by the amount of terror that the Rexes are bringing and Ray with the amount of damage done to the Cartel.
"Shit if all I needed was a dinosaur to destroy the drug dealers in my home town I should have gotten Rexy to do it long ago," he joked while enjoying a cigarette. After Frankie had left for the states the African American man enjoyed a fresh smoke for the first time in a while. All the while Ian looked to him with disdain on his face.
"Now Ray do you really have to smoke so many boom sticks in one go?" he asked him.
"Shut up Ian! I can finally enjoy a good smoke after dealing with that little shit for God knows how long," he said while taking a puff. As if to prove a point he blew a puff of smoke directly at Ian's face.
Ian glared at him before going back to watching the carnage unfold. His gaze was glued to the one large screen while Ray went to work on the computer systems. Computer monitors were set up to protect the people and the dinosaurs in the compound. Ray was adamant about it. He insisted that he take control of the computer systems as his fingers played across the keyboard. His mind going a million miles a minute trying get back to the task he was doing before all hell broke loose in the city. So distracted was he that he failed to see Ian come up behind him until the man was looking over his shoulder.
"So what are you doing Ray?" asked Ian looking at the screen. Hoping to distract himself from the events that went on in the city.
"Well since Jurassic Park is pretty much a goner, Vitkiss wanted us to look into the thefts of the dinosaurs from our facilities. Some of them had already reached the open market, but he wanted us to focus more on these," with that he showed Ian on one of the screens a man's face with three Raptors being mistreated. Ian's eyes widened at the sight of the raptors and what the men there were using them for.
"Don't they realize that what they are messing with has no intentions of ever obeying them for long?" asked Ian.
"My thoughts exactly," said Ray as the typed in a few more codes and a smile lit his face.
The image changed to that of the raptors actively hunting a man inside the enclosure. To their surprise that man was then killed and eaten by the raptors. But as they eat they showed signs of sickness something that Ian remembers Alan mentioning more then once.
"Say, your animals are they always allergic to human blood?" asked Ian.
"I had remembered Wu mentioning that the chemicals in the human body is what makes the dinosaurs sick. Chemicals that we digest such as pesticides and fertilizers make us toxic to them because they never had the chance to adapt to the changes unlike modern animals. And the clothes we wear are also un-digestible making them get horrible reactions to us." Ray replied.
"So humans are toxic to dinosaurs," said Ian.
"Yeah that's pretty much it. That is why we gave them the diet they had it was not because we were cheap, but it was easier for them to digest and not get sick," replied Ray.
"So why is this asshole giving them human flesh something the raptors are clearly getting sick off of," Ian replied.
"No clue, my guess is that he does not know or doesn't care about their welfare. If we can get them back to the islands and rehabilitate them then it would help. But my worry is those collars and the shock treatment he is doing. Muldoon mentioned raptors having long memories. I bet they are waiting for the chance to tear that muther fucker to pieces," Ray said.
"Nature is not meant to be contained the way he has. At least you guys had started going in the right direction with Alan's help. And while I was in bed I looked up Alan's property in Montana and to say that I am impressed is an understatement. Maybe I would endorse you park if you ran it the way he runs his ranch," Ian said as he looked at the monitors more. Ray had to agree, Jurassic Park had the right intentions but how they did it was wrong. The animals should have been socialized and allowed to run free not kept in cages. Alan had posted signs along his ranch warning people of the dangers of the dinosaurs which were well heeded with the nearby town's help. The dinosaurs were not rampaging monsters and in fact kids get to be near a carnivore and not fear them. Because the dinosaurs chose to do so. It was something he had not anticipated when he wrote his chaos theory. But then again it was the unexpected that drew his attention to the last part.
He wanted something to prove his theory right but this? It threw it completely out of proportion. The possibilities are endless. Chaos has been unleashed and he is a the front lines trying to deal with it. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he did not notice until Ray started to curse that something happened.
What is it?" Ian asked.
"I just figured out what whte_ is!" he said smiling, "Lex you are a genius!" he said as he turned to Ian.
"What?" Ian asked confused.
When Ray figured out that Ian was confused he waved him over to show him the computer screen he was working on. Pointing he said with a smile, "You see this?" he said pointing.
Ian saw the lines of code and saw what Ray was pointing at. It was a single line with a small code on it. Confused he turned towards Ray, "What is this line, I don't understand it at all," he said.
"This here my dear Dr. Malcolm is the reason why Jurassic Park's computer systems failed. This here is a back door program code. It is a way for hackers or anyone else to get in. I had Lex help me with the lines of code for a while. In fact she just called not too long ago with a reference to Alice in Wonderland. So when I looked at the code again just now it all clicked into place," Ray said smiling.
"Alice in Wonderland….wait are you referring to the part of the story where….?" Ian said shocked to see the look of total glee on Ray's face.
"Exactly! The white rabbit from the story is the same as this line of code. Nedry used this as a way for him to get into the system and destroy the security. What he failed to realize is that the security is not only linked to the power in the Visitor's Center, but the entire park's fence and animal security network. He was not here when the first programmers did this. I programmed the system myself making sure that the network works as one unit. Because the power grid could only do so much until we got that separate power station up and running. I was not happy about using geothermal energy because a lot of factors can go wrong." Ray said as he rubbed his hands in glee.
"So what you are saying is that Nedry used this, 'back door,' to hack into the security systems in order to steal the embryos?" asked Ian.
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. The thing he never figured out was how the security was linked. He only knew how to turn it on and off. By doing so he used this back door to get into the main park after he had stolen the embryos. He was sloppy in a sense but it worked out in the end because he managed to steal the embryos and make it as far as he did. His other mistake was of course beating poor Spitz and kidnapping Jessica Harding. And we all know where that went," Ray finished allowing Ian to flinch at what Jessie had told him had happened out in the park. The incident was not something he would want to remember.
"Ok so now we know how he did it do you know why?" Ian asked.
"One simple thing, money," and Ray produced something from the side and to Ian's surprise it was a leather bag. Handing it to the Mathematician, Ian was surprised at how heavy it was. Opening it up he was shocked to see a whole lot of money inside.
"What the hell is this?" he asked Ray.
"That was Nedry's down payment for getting the embryos off the island. When I was looking through the employee apartments, being Nedry's boss I have access to his rooms. When I got there I found letters corresponding to his so called espionage. Later after Alan and Robert went to Sorna, Gerry and I went to investigate the jeep that Nedry used. I found this inside as well as Nedry's coprse. I of course informed Hammond of my findings into Nedry's wrong doing. He is currently working at how Nedry got involved with Biosyn and why. As of this moment InGen is also investigating all of its computer analysis including myself and found a whole lot of holes with its interview process," Ray replied.
"Wow, looks like they have a lot of cleanup work to do," Ian replied as he went over to the nearby coffee machine to get him something to drink. Hobbling back he sat down as Ray typed away at the lines of code.
"So now that we know why he did it and how the question I want to ask is what do we do from here on out?" Ian said.
"Well the Costa Riccan government has asked us to help them clean up so that is what we are going to do. After the mess Nedry has made to screw things up," said Ray as he typed away at the computer hoping to correct the code Nedry has done.
"Well I better get back to bed, the nurse is going to wonder where I went as far as wondering off," Ian said getting up and getting his crutches.
Ray waved goodbye when Ian walked out while at the same time keeping an eye out for anything else that happens to drop by.
MEANWHILE BACK ON THE STREETS
Rexy's roar led to a mass panic as people ran down the streets. This was not boding well at all for the group trying to round them up. They headed towards the district with the tourists. After being shot at by the cartels Gerry and Henry knew that if they reached that area it would be mass hysteria.
"Ah fuck we have the annual Carnival event with the guys coming in from Brazil to do the festival!" said a rather portly man that stood near Gerry and Henry. Spitz growled at the sight of the man with his sweaty shirt and messy appearance. The food stains on his shirt showed that this man loved to eat and was interrupted by the chaos that the tyrannosaurs caused.
Gerry placed his hand on Spitz's back to calm him down while the man turned white at the sights of the dilophosaur. His frill rattled but was not raised showing his agitation.
"Governor we are doing all we can..." Vitkiss said to him.
"Don't give me that shitsenor Vitkiss, it was your idea to put those animals on the trail of the now dead monster and look what happened!" the Governor said his rage was clearly evident by the amount of damage the dinosaurs had brought.
"Look sir we have the situation under control," Vitkiss replied to the shouts in both Spanish and heavily accented English.
"They warned yousenor, they warned you!" he said and held his hands to his head when Rexy smashed yet another building trying to get to what ever it was that was bothering her.
"Well we can sit here panicking or we can try to calm her down and bring her back," said Gerry as he looked over at the rampaging dinosaurs. His mind racing as he tried to think up an idea on how to stop the rampage. As he put his hands into his pockets to get at the rag he kept there to wipe his brow. His hand felt something rather large and hard. Pulling it out his eyes widened at the sight in front of him.
"How are we going to get them back?" asked Vitkiss. He sounded desperate now that even more screams could be heard.
"With this," Gerry said holding out a cassette tape player.
Henry's eyes widened with realization, "Gerry you asshole you're a genius!" he was more then excited to see such as sight. It was Alan Grant's cassette recorder. Gerry smirked as he looked at it, "I asked Alan if I could borrow it for sometime a few weeks back. Robert and I were studying how the dinosaurs communicate and what vocalizations were used for what purpose. The ones I managed to take with me were the ones for the dinosaurs we currently have. That was how I determined that both Spitz and Nico were both males." he said while Spitz tilted his head while sniffing the hand that held the recorder. Gerry's smirk grew as he realize that Spitz might know what that thing is and what it is used for.
"Now can you tell me how that tape recorder would help us solve this problem boys?" asked Vitkiss. He gave them a dirty look to show his annoyance at what the two InGen workers were thinking. As if to aggravate him even further Gerry pressed a button.
The sound that came from the recording was very low almost too low for humans to hear. But Gerry being the veterinarian he was has to deal with these sort of calls on a daily basis. But Henry being the man who is more down to earth was ahead of this scenario.
"Gerry we need to amplify this sound before either of them could cause further destruction," he said to Gerry.
"I know but what do we use that hasn't been destroyed?" he said and the sound of someone shouting over a loudspeaker broke the short silence. Both men looked down to see a modified truck driving by reassuring the people that all is well. The man who was speaking into the microphone was of course speaking Spanish but the two men looked at each other at the same time, they both had an idea.
SOMETIME LATER
"I hope you know what you are doing Senor?" said the driver as they drove directly towards the T-Rexes. Both Rexy and Junior have really trashed the eastern side of the city leaving the western side still in tact. In fact the Cartels have tried with mini guns to get at the much larger dinosaurs. But Rexy was having none of it. Already Gerry could see many bullet holes coming out of her side from the more high powered guns. Junior was feeling the slag as the juvenile was starting to become more strained.
"Ok, are you ready?" Henry said to Gerry as the man readied a tranq gun that he thankfully procured before leaving. Spitz remained in the back the dilophosaur has his mouth hanging with this tongue hanging out like a dog.
"Alright, I am ready," said Gerry as he aimed directly at Junior since she is the easiest to deal with.
Henry hit the button to the loudspeaker and then pushed the cassette into the player. When it started to play the sounds of another tyrannosaur became evident. Both carnivores stopped running and turned. Their attention at the truck and the loudspeaker attached to it. All three men noticed Rexy had some white powder on her snout and her left eye was twitching. In fact she was rather unsteady on her feet when she turned. Junior also has white powder on her snout.
Both Henry and Gerry looked at each other with fear on their faces.
"Oh shit!" they said at the same time. The driver taking this as his cue turned the truck around and began to floor it down the street back the way they came. Rexy and Junior both gave chase while Spitz peeked from the truck bed. At the sight of Rexy's teeth so near him he quickly ducked back down to safety. Both Gerry and Henry held on as the Rexes gave chase. The driver of the truck a man in his thirties thankfully knew how to maneuver such a vehicle. The two dinosaurs ran at them snapping their jaws and doing consistent roaring getting everyone's attention.
"What the fuck is that stuff on them and why are they acting so crazy?" asked the driver.
"Well if I didn't say any better I'd just say they had their first dose of cocaine," replied Gerry as the man steered around an overturned vehicle.
"There! Go there!" Henry pointed after finally noticing the street sign.
"Wha….." the man said before Junior came into view in front of him with her mouth wide open. The man had just enough time to get out of the way as she stumbled and fell. Rexy not watching where she was going tripped on the fallen Junior and both did a very comical roll into a nearby building. The sounds of loud music could be heard as the lights of the building turned on and the store name lit up.
They thankfully had the streets emptied prior to this so it made driving back to the compound a lot easier. When the building and the fences came into view after about ten minutes of driving through the streets and into the jungle. Both Gerry and Henry waved to the guards who quickly opened the doors. Then they ducked back into their shelter just as Junior ran through past the gate along with a stumbling Rexy. Thankfully the holding pen where the dinosaurs were kept is surrounded by natural borders reinforced with electrified fencing.
Just as the truck slammed back into the enclosure startling Tank and Sarah who both remained behind all three men and the dilophosaur scrambled out just in time. Rexy came barreling in first followed by a now drowsy Junior. Both of them seemed to stand before finally falling into the watering hole. It was with luck that Rexy's head had not submerged but Junior was an entirely different matter.
"Quickly!" shouted Gerry as a team ran out one of them thankfully going for the crane that was nearby just in case. It eased into the watering hole and the people hurried to get them tied up and out. When they got them onto hard ground General Vitkiss came roaring in accompanied by the Governor.
"What the fuck happened Harding!" Vitkiss complained.
"Sorry sir, but it seems as if the Rexes have encountered their first taste of cocaine," he said looking at the white noses of both Rexy and Junior.
"How the fuck did that happen," Vitkiss asked as he looked at them both in bafflement.
"Well if I had to guess I would say that they probably had it thrown at them by one of the cartels," Henry replied. He had meant for it to be a joke but the execution of it came out wrong. Both Gerry and Vitkiss looked at Henry strangely and the Asian man gave a shrug.
"So now what?" asked Vitkiss.
"Well first off I need to clean that crap off of them. And then second I need to check their vitals. Such large amounts of that sort of drug can be dangerous and deadly. My father died from a drug overdose so I would know what it is like," Gerry replied.
"Well I will leave you two to deal with them while I deal with cleaning up this mess and dealing with the Governor." Vitkiss sighed as he walked towards the jeep where the Governor was standing as well as another Hispanic man that both Gerry and Henry never encountered.
It was just then that a nearly white blur sped past Gerry and leaped onto Henry. Tien made himself known as he continuously licked Henry's face. The other man laughed as the black tongue and constant nuzzling by Tien made the man nearly choke on his laughter. Another shadow made itself known and Rosie pounced on him holding her talons back so that he had known that she was only playing. Laughing Henry rolled around with his two 'children' while Gerry spoke with the Governor.
"I am deeply sorry for the damage our animals has brought to you sir," he said and the man sighed.
"You are not to blamesenor this man here!" he pointed to Vitkiss whose face just went purple with anger.
"He is the reason why my city is in ruins! You told him and I told him and others have told him that it was a bad idea for such animals to be let loose, but he never listens to me! You are lucky senor that I don't kill off the rest of them because of your blundering!" The Governor screeched in Spanish.
"Well look at is this way Governor sir, you don't have to worry about the Cartels anymore," Cindy said as she walked out of the compound. In her hand held a sampling kit and she was ready to use it. Walking towards Spitz she turned to the two InGen workers for advice on how to extract saliva from Spitz.
"Oh that one is easy," Gerry said and clapped his hands together and opened them up. Spitz opened his mouth after a few times and Tien copied the other dinosaur.
"Oh good at least I don't have to convince this one to open his mouth," she said as she took a sample of Tien's saliva as well. Turning back towards the compound she waved at Henry wishing him good luck before disappearing.
"What was that about?" asked Vitkiss.
"I have no idea," Gerry replied.
"Oh I do," said Henry smiling as he gave Tien some caresses, "I have been training Tien how to open his mouth so I don't get bitten while feeding him and Rosy. Remember Tien is venomous so his bites would kill me otherwise." with that Tien stayed by his side while Rosie went to drink water at the watering hole.
Gerry sighed, "Well I better get my kit and start extracting the bullets. And from the looks of it Junior needs some surgery done near her eye," with that he went to the compound to get to work while Henry returned to his apartment.
SOMETIME LATER
It was about two hours later after both Henry and Gerry had gotten cleaned up. They were in Henry's apartment with Ray and surprisingly Ian joined them. Having escaped his nurses yet again Ian Malcolm decided he wanted to see what the fuss was about. There is a large bottle of tequila on the table that Henry pulled out of his pantry. The four men decided that a drink was what they needed to end the day. Outside both Rexy and Junior were fast asleep having come down from their drug induced high.
"You are tell me that those two, (he pointed to Rexy and Junior) have raided a Cartel nest and somehow ate their entire stash of cocaine?" Ray said surprised when both Henry and Gerry replayed what had happened in the middle of town.
"Yeah, that is pretty much what we think happened. General Vitkiss got his ass chewed for letting untrained dinosaurs out into the city by the Governor and surprisingly the President. He is also being billed for the damages caused by the said dinosaurs. Oh and by the way it wasn't one Cartel nest it was several," replied Henry.
Ian whistled when he heard this story and had to wonder how in the world the dinosaurs could react to such a drug without dying. He scratched his head and even voiced it out loud. The others looked at each other before they burst out laughing. Ian had to think for a few seconds before he too burst into laughter at the irony of it all.
"Well I got to say that drugs even effects dinosaurs," said Gerry as he grabbed his glass of tequila that he had on the table. He lifted it up as if to give a toast, "Let's just hope that they learned their lesson about raiding drug nests next time," he said as he took a shot from his glass.
"Oh yes, I sure as hell don't want to repeat what happened today that is for sure," replied Henry as he took a drink from his glass.
"You know this all would make for one hell of a story to tell Alan when he wakes up," said Ian as he leaned back against the chair. His crutches off to the side.
"Fuck Alan! What about Muldoon! I swear to God he is going to freak out when he hears about this!" Ray said laughing as he then reached into his pocket and pulled something out. He then placed it on the table for the others to see. When they all looked at it they were surprised that it was a bunch of photographs of both Rexy and Junior.
"Ray, where thefuck did you get these?" asked Gerry surprised.
"Oh that is easy that truck you both borrowed to lure the Rexes back into the pen. Well, that has a camera on it. It is used to take pictures of the carnivals and shit like that. So I asked the driver if he had any photos. He forgotten that the cameras were on a timer and takes pictures every two minutes or so," Ray replied laughing.
All four men looked at the photos that Ray produced and burst out laughing at the rather hilarious pictures of both Rexy and Junior covered in coke. Though when they looked at it better they could see the blood on both Rexy and Junior's faces from the many bullets that the cartels shot at them.
"I am surprised that no one shot them in the eye?" asked Ian.
"Well one of them did. Thankfully I was able to save the eye before I had to amputate it," said Gerry looking at the image of a bleeding Junior.
"It was lucky that none of them had high powered rifles unlike the guys who took out the Allo," said Ray as he took a shot from his glass.
"Well thank God for that!" replied Gerry not wanting to think about the fate of the Allosaurus.
"Did they eat anyone?" asked Henry as he looked through the photos of the destroyed carnival floats and thrashed streets.
"Yeah, they did unfortunately and I hate to say it but they are going to feel like shit in the morning," said Gerry with some amusement to his voice.
While all the men were laughing a knock suddenly sounded from the door. Henry stood up to answer it thinking it was probably Cindy coming in to wish him good night. However upon opening the door he was surprised to see General Vitkiss at the door along with the Governor of San Jose.
"Gentlemen how can we help you?" he asked and invited them in.
"Gentlemen we have a major problem on our hands one that you are not going to like," Vitkiss said and the four of them just knew that the day could not end on a good note...just this once.
