Chapter 5

Back at the center...

"Erm... I need... I need to go and, er... get something if that's okay."

"Yeah, fine Jim whatever just get this thing fixed."

"You're really mean to him you know. Everything's shutting down and he needs to fix it. You're just making him more nervous." Murmured Molly. Not quite willing to add any volume to her objections on behalf of her boyfriend.

"Yeah, well, it'll do him good. Spineless little faggot."

Meanwhile, Jim was calmly striding towards the embryo cold storage unit, suddenly much suaver than before. Gone was the hunched posture, replaced by a straight back and a confident stride.

He punched in the code from memory and allowed himself a small grin as the heavy door slid open, cold air rushing out and he shivered, possibly at the temperature, and possibly from the excitement. After all, he almost never got his hands dirty...

Back in the car...

"So, Doctor," Insert massive sarcasm quotes, "I couldn't help noticing that things seem a little... cool between yourself and Dr Watson-"

"Look, just because John's oblivious, I know what you're up to, so you can lay off! Alright?"

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean Doctor. You know, If things are going so well as you say you would have nothing to worry about, I'm sure." Right now, he was at about a level three smug alert.

It was getting dark when they were passing the T-Rex enclosure again on the way back. Unfortunately, that was the exact moment when the car died.

Heavy rain pattered the car, obscuring the view out of the windows, which was already patchy, due to the darkness.

Sean was fidgeting and twirling his thumbs nervously.

"Scared?"

"Hardly!" He spat back.

Sherlock opened his mouth to retaliate but was cut short by a bone rattling roar.

Sean practically leapt out of his seat and Sebastian finally woke up. He had been quiet for so long that Sherlock would have forgotten that he was there if it weren't for the too strong smell of aftershave that haunted the car. "Oh my God what was that?"

"The car broke down right outside the Tyrannosaurus Rex pen." Explained Sherlock, craning his neck to try and get a better view out of the window, currently blocked by Sean's fat head.

Back at the base, things were going wrong.

"Molly! Where the HELL is Jim? Everything is shutting down!"

"I don't know! What's wrong?"

"Weren't you LISTENING? EVERYTHING. Everything is going wrong! The cars have stopped. The fences are switching off! The whole park's security is failing!"

"Oh God. Let me have a look. I hate this hacker crap." Molly walked over to Jim's desk to take a look at the computer.

"How does he work like this? You can't even see his desk!"

"I know. I keep trying to tell him he has way too much of that junk but he won't listen to me. I didn't even know they still made My Little Pony dolls until I met Jim."

"For God's sake."

"Calm down, let's take a look at this... Oh my god."

"Ah ah ah! Ah ah ah! Daddy's had enough now!" Chimed the computer in the gay Irish tones of Jim.

"He couldn't have!"

"He couldn't have done what; Molly?"

"I- I think he's done this on purpose... He's sabotaged the park!"

"Oh God! We can't be here! It'll smell us!"

"We'll be fine Sebastian," reassured Sean. "There's a giant thirty foot fence right there! Though their picture of Rita Hayworth does make me suspicious..."

"Ah yes, Anderson's giant fence. Made of chicken wire."

"Shut UP Sherlock! God! It's no wonder you still don't have any friends."

"And it's no wonder you still wet the bed at night."

"Fuck o-"

"!"

"That's it! I'm going." In a flurry Sebastian threw open the door and ran out into the rain towards the toilets.

"He always was an idiot. Look at that! His smell will be much stronger if he's in there, not to mention it's made of straw!"

"Leave it would you? Why are you such a prick all the time?"

"I'm not! Only when people are being idiots!"

"So far the only person I've seen you not totally rip into is John, and that's obviously because you want to get into his pants!"

"..."

"Oh my God it's true!"

"Did I ever say I didn't?"

"You are such a piece of-"

"Shut up."

Sean was about to react when he noticed that Sherlock was staring intently on the cup of water that he had been messing with earlier. When he looked closer he could see what the other was watching. There were ripples in the cup. Actual ripples, every few seconds.

When he listened closer, he could almost hear... something. Like... stomping?

"What the?"

"You're missing the obvious again."

"What?"

"Where's the goat?"

"ROOOAAAARRRR!" This time the roar was accompanied by the rattling of metal, then whipping sounds as cables snapped and the fence began to collapse.

"Close the door!"

Sean didn't waste time arguing and reached into the front to close Sebastian's door. None too soon either, as right then a head reared up over the trees and a giant talon like foot came over the concrete barrier.

He had of course known, that anything of Anderson's would end in failure, but sometimes, it would be nice not to have to be right all the time.

Okay, scratch that, he loved being right all the time, but it might be a nice surprise... or at least he might live longer.

"Oh God. It's coming this way!" Shrieked Sean.

"Be quiet! If you don't draw attention to us it'll just run off!"

"No! NO!" He began scrambling through the boxes in the back of the car.

"Stop panicking!" Hissed Sherlock.

Sean stilled slightly as he seemed to find what he had been looking for.

"No what are you doing-" Too late, Sean had lit the flare and thrown it out of the window before Sherlock could stop him.

"What did you do that for?"

"I was trying to distract it from the car!"

"Really? Because now it's seen us!" He snarled back. "Run!" yelled Sherlock leaping from the car in the direction of the toilets as the T-Rex began to charge towards them.

Sean leapt out of his side as well, running off into the woods. Sherlock was a fast runner, but there was little he could do to escape something that size.

He ran towards the tree line and only barely made it. He didn't know quite what happened after that. The last thing he heard was a high pitched scream and then something heavy crashed down on his head and the whole world went black.
