There was a reprieve. Owen drifted up from the blackness he'd been dragged down, sure for a brief moment, he'd felt his girls. Then they were gone but not so separated as before. The wall dragging them apart was thinner.
"Owen?" A young male voice. Zach, his mind fuzzily supplied.
"Owen are you there?"
Owen tried to answer, but Sue roared somewhere in the back of his mind, a shattering burst of static rolled over him and though he fought, he was dragged back into unconsciousness.
Carter cursed as he directed another team to go round up compys that were not theirs.
"Claire," he said into the phone, "We have dinosaurs running around that aren't ours." There was a moment of stunned silence and then Claire said calmly:
"Please manage them as best you can. Tell us those you aren't able to cover and we'll get the tourists away from the area."
"Agreed," Carter told her and hung up.
He tapped his comm. and said, "Hamada what's your ETA to the restricted area?"
"We're almost there, just about to enter actually."
"Any sign of the pack?"
"No visual but we heard something roaring. Sounded big and heavy. There were what sounded like gunshots too."
"Owen's intern has his gun," Carter said.
"That might have been it," Hamada admitted.
"Are you heading there now?" Carter said.
"Yes," said Hamada, "Unless we get visual on the pack elsewhere."
"Good," said Carter, "Keep me posted."
"Will do. Hamada out."
"Anika give me an update," Claire said into the phone.
"They're a little better," Anika said, "But Owen's still down for the count and so are Josh, Reggie and Nancy."
"How's Zach?" Claire asked worried.
"He's fine," said Anika, "His migraine has eased a little but it's still hurting. He's keeping Owen company right now in a darkened room."
"Okay. Call me if anything changes. Have you figured out anything which could have cause this?"
"Lauren volunteered to have an MRI done so we'll see if we discover any significant changes," Anika said.
"Good," said Claire. "How are the other interns faring?"
"Well," said Anika referring to the other talented interns, "Most of them aren't very powerful so it didn't hit them so badly. There's one who worked with the dimorphodons that's hit kinda bad. We have him on meds and sedated him. The others that aren't sick are helping where they can."
"Fine. Just make sure they're watched by the superiors. I don't need to find out that any of this was an inside job."
"I'll pass the word on," said Anika and disconnected.
Hamada surveyed the bloody scene in front of him. The huge dinosaur was nothing he'd ever seen and he quite doubted that it would ever been found in written academia. This was something like the Indominus. It was a chimera, made to specifications.
There was nothing more terrifying to have found.
"Carter," he said into his comm.
"Speak," said Carter.
"We found where the pack was," He said, "And we found what they were fighting. It's another dinosaur, and it looks like it was made. It's not anything I've ever seen or read about. It's dead by the way."
"The pack?"
"We haven't found any bodies so I think they won this round. It also looks like they had some help. This thing was killed by a rifle. Shot a couple times in the head. There are other gunshot wounds too. I think they worked in concert to bring it down."
"Owen's intern helped them to kill it?"
"Looks that way," Hamada said. "We've found tracks, so we're going to follow them."
Another deep throated roar sounded out. A rifle shot echoed soon after. "Or we could follow that," said Hamada.
"Go," said Carter, "Be careful. The Indominus could camouflage. We don't know what these things are capable of."
"Noted. Hamada out."
Hamada looked around at his men and said, "Half of you with me. The other go back to the jeeps. Go along the road until you catch up and then enter the forest. Form up and move out."
Blue landed on her side and struggled to her feet. The second Creature was not as big as the first but it was far more versatile.
Long arms made it easier for it to grab them and a long, supple tail swiped back and forth. The snout too was long and thin and fit between trees to snatch at them.
Blue and her sisters had to attack carefully. They couldn't afford to gain to many injuries. The pain in their heads was back. Not as bad as first creature but still dizzying.
Intern glanced at Blue from where she was taking cover behind a tree. Her arms were steady now, no fear coating her scent. She peered around the tree, saw an opening, took aim and shot.
It hit but ricocheted off the hard plating covering Second Creature. Intern huffed in annoyance and then darted to another tree and began climbing swiftly up the branches.
Blue dived back into the fight, swiping at Second Creature's legs and ducking the long whipping tail. Charlie and Echo were harassing both arms of Second Creature and it was flailing around not sure which one of them it hit first.
Delta made a flying leap and worked her way up onto Second Creature's back. Blue stopped it from pulling her off, giving Delta a chance to work her way around the top and determine there were no weak spots there.
Intern, up in the tree, managed to get a better shot and punctured Second Creature's nasal cavity which just made him mad. A second shot hit his right eye.
The eye exploded in a gust of blood, and Blue and her sisters darted back from the flailing limbs. With Second Creature's right eye out of commission, they now had an advantage they were fully planning on taking advantage of.
They harried the Second Creature but he was still dangerous and their claws were not making much of a dent against the hard armor plating.
The terrible wall the creature released was hurting the pack too and it was taking a toll on them. Delta wobbled when she shouldn't have. Charlie's muscles jumped and tremble like she couldn't quite control herself properly. Blue was finding it hard to think as fast as she knew she could.
Second Creature had to be killed. She roared it to her sisters, rallying them and she heard them answer.
Intern jerked, startled and then let out a hiss of her own in triumph.
"It's mouth!" she said to Blue, "Get it to open its mouth. There's no armor in there."
Go, Blue said to her sisters, Do what she says.
The pack moved then. Two came in from the left, from behind his flank, the other two darted in at an angle towards the ruined eye.
Second creature saw the two on the left first and twisted to deal with them. It left his fight side open and Blue and Charlie took flying leaps at the end of their run up and hooked wicked claws into the bottom jaw of Second Creature.
Their combined weight dragged Second Creature's mouth open and Intern dived, back on the ground, rifle pointed up and fired straight into Second Creature's mouth and his brain.
The arms which were reaching for Blue and Charlie went limp. Blue and Charlie pushed away and let go to avoid being hit by the falling body of Second Creature. Blue landed on the ground and then noticed Intern in the direct path of the Second Creature's head.
She huffed and then took hold of one of Intern's ankles and heaved. Intern slid out of the way and Second Creature's head landed a few inches away from her tiny human one. Intern blinked rapidly and Blue snarled at her.
The wall separating her from Owen was now thinner and the pain receded a little but the pack was still frustratingly cut off from their alpha.
Find the rest! Blue said to her sisters and then they were off again.
Review please!
In other news I have safely come through Tropical Storm Brett with only the minor inconvenience of losing current for some time. Other poor souls weren't quite so fortunate in my country but at least we had no fatalities. Be safe guys!
