Isla Sorna
"Eric! Miles! Ben!"
Amanda's shout from outside echoed inside the plane.
Grant awoke.
Billy and Simone helped him up.
"Guys. Tell me we didn't land."
"We did," said Simone.
"Shit," grunted Grant.
"I think they're looking for someone," said Billy.
The three of them walked out of the plane.
Amanda was shouting through the bullhorn.
Paul stood beside the plane and turned around.
"Dr. Grant, are you alright? I'm sorry we had to be so..."
"Who hit me?"
"That would be Cooper."
They watched as Udesky, Cooper and Nash went off into the jungle.
Mullins and Max waked around the area, making sure it was secure.
"What the hell is going on? What are they doing?"
"They're setting up a perimeter to make the place safe. These guys are good. I've hired professionals you see. Professionals."
"Mr. Roby, listen. At this point, there's no such thing as safe. We have to get back on that plane. We're food to these damn animals. And would you please tell your wife to stop doing that? That is a very bad idea!"
"Ben! Eric! Miles!" shouted Amanda through the bullhorn.
"Amanda!" shouted Paul, "Amanda! Amanda, Dr. Grant says that's a bad idea!"
"What?" she shouted back.
Paul pointed to Grant and shouted "he says it's a bad idea?"
"What's a bad idea?"
A deafening roar echoed from the jungle.
Amanda lowered the bullhorn in surprise.
Mullins and Max were startled.
"What was that?" said Paul.
"A Tyrannosaurus Rex," said Billy.
"Presumably," said Simone.
"No," said Grant, "it sounds bigger."
Udesky and Nash came running from the trees.
"We have to leave!" shouted Udesky, "we have to leave now!"
They ran back with Mullins and Max and Amanda ran back with them and they ran back to the others.
"In the damn plane, now!" shouted Nash, hurrying on the plane and into the cockpit.
Max awaited by the door and hustled everyone in.
"We can't just..." said Amanda.
"Don't worry, honey," said Paul, "we'll circle around and come back."
Max hurried inside and Billy and Udesky walked up the steps last.
"What about the other guy?" said Billly.
"Cooper's a professional. He can handle himself," said Udesky and slammed the door shut.
Everyone scrambled to their seats and Max hurried to the cockpit.
Nash started up the engine and the plane started moving.
"Give me a hand, Max," said Nash.
Max pushed the throttle and the plane sped up.
Cooper came running from the jungle, tired from injuries and waved his arms up to flag down the plane.
"HEY!" he shouted, "STOP!"
"What are you doing?" said Paul.
"That's Cooper!" said Grant, pointing to Cooper.
"Stop!" whimpered Cooper.
"Cooper, get out of the damn way!" said Max.
"You know we can't stop this plane!" said Nash.
Suddenly, a huge figure came from the jungle.
Cooper screamed as the jaws closed in on his body and lifted him up.
"Shit!" shouted Max.
"Oh my god!" shouted Nash.
He pulled the throttle up and the plane rose off the ground.
The body of the huge figure got in the way and blood splattered all over the cockpit window.
The alarm sounded.
The plane lurched down and flew through the trees until it came to a stop.
Nash and Max sat in the cockpit and tried hard not to weep over the loss of their buddy.
"It's okay," said Max, "everybody just stay put."
Grant rose out of the seat and opened the door to the plane.
They were stuck in the trees.
He slammed the door shut.
"We haven't landed yet."
"We need to call the mainland," said Nash to Max and looked back and said "who has the satellite phone?"
Paul rose from his seat.
"Oh, I do. I do."
And he handed the phone to Nash.
Nash dialed the number for the mainland and both he and Max awaited for a reply.
"We're sorry. All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later..." said a recorded voice over the phone.
"Shit!" grunted Nash.
"Damn it!" grunted Max.
"What is it? What's the matter?" said Paul.
A huge reptilian face appeared in the cockpit.
Amanda was the only one who saw it and panicked.
"AH! NO! NO! NO!"
Nash and Paul looked back.
Paul put his arm on his wife.
"What is it? What? What? What?"
Amanda pointed to out of the cockpit.
Suddenly, the plane lurched down from the trees.
A set of jaws tore off the front the nose of the cockpit.
Nash screamed and Max screamed and wailed in a panic.
The plane lurched back on in the direction of the trees.
An unknown dinosaur rose up from the trees.
Nash and Max scrambled out of the cockpit.
Mullins and Udesky helped Max through then came back for Nash.
Suddenly, as Nash made it through, the jaws from the dinosaur clamped down on his legs.
Nash screamed in pain.
The dinosaur pulled him.
"No, no, no! Help me! Help me!" he cried.
The others reached out a hand to help him but it was too late.
He was pulled out of the plane and the dinosaur released him to the ground.
He crawled through, breathing heavily, until the giant foot of the dinosaur clamped down on his legs.
It placed its jaws inside Nash's neck and bit into it.
The dinosaur rose from the trees with Nash's carcass inside its mouth.
Everyone ran to the back and screamed as the plane lurched backwards out of the tree.
The dinosaur came back and rolled the wrecked plane until it came a stop.
Amanda screamed and ran out.
"Mr. Roby! Mr. Roby, come back!" shouted Grant.
He finally caught up with her pulled her back inside the plane.
The dinosaur injected the claws of it's foot into the plane.
Everyone ran out and the dinosaur chased them out of the jungle.
The group ran through the field and into the trees.
The dinosaur was nowhere else to be seen.
"It's okay," said Grant, "I think we lost him."
There was a quiet growl.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex rose from the trees with blood over its mouth.
"Nobody move a muscle," said Grant.
The Tyrannosaurus roared loudly.
Everyone ran for cover.
The Tyrannosaurus chased the group through the jungle.
Max tripped.
The claws of the Tyrannosaurus' giant foot was injected in his back.
He screamed.
The jaws of the the Tyrannosaurus was placed over his neck and it bit into it.
The same dinosaur that killed Cooper and Nash came into view. It was a huge dinosaur with a long snout, crocodile-like jaws and a sail on its top.
They fought over Max's dead carcass.
Grant ran in through a cracked log and screamed.
The Tyrannosaurus pushed the other dinosaur aside.
The dinosaur escaped from its jaws and injected its jaws into the Tyrannosaurus neck before snapping it.
Grant slipped out of the log and ran with the others into the bushes as the Tyrannosaurus' dead body fell to the ground.
The dinosaur stepped over the Tyrannosaurus' body and roared loudly.
The Truth
Grant pushed Paul against a tree.
Amanda got in the way.
"No, no, no. Please don't."
"You have a lot of explaining to do."
"We can explain everything, Dr. Grant," said Paul.
"Why did you bring us here?"
"Our children are on this island."
He bought out his wallet and showed the picture of his boy.
"This is my son, Miles Roby."
Amanda bought her wallet and showed the picture of her son.
"This is my son, Eric Kirby."
Grant, Billy and Simone looked confused.
"We called everyone," said Paul, "there was no sign of them. And the US Embassy, that's our US Embassy, said that this was a none fly zone. Can you believe that?"
"You let two twelve-year olds go parasailing alone?" said Billy.
"No," said Paul.
"He was with a friend of mine," said Amanda.
"Who?" said Simone.
"Ben Hildebrand," said Amanda.
"Her boyfriend," said Paul.
"Paul and I aren't actually married," said Amanda, "we're just neighbors. Our kids are best friends. And we're both single parents."
"So you duped us into coming here?" said Grant.
"It's nothing like that," said Paul, "we needed a rescue team to help us find them."
"I understand you hiring these mercenaries," said Grant, "but why me?"
"We needed a guide who has been on the island before. Right, Udesky?"
"What does he have to do with this?" said Mullins.
"I only suggested him," said Udesky, "and I did not ask you to kidnap somebody."
"I've never been on this island before," said Grant.
"Sure you have," said Paul, "you wrote that book."
"That was the first island," said Simone.
"Yeah," said Billy, "Site A: Isla Nublar. This is Site B: Isla Sorna."
"You mean there are two islands with dinosaurs?" said Mullins.
"There was two islands with dinosaurs," said Grant, "until Site A got destroyed."
"You know what?" said Paul, turning to Mullins and Udesky, "I would really appreciate it if you two could just stay out of this."
"Yes," said Amanda, "please."
"How long have they been gone?" said Simone.
"Eight weeks," said Paul.
"That's about two months now," said Billy.
"And after what we just saw back there," chuckled Grant, "you thought that they would still be alive."
"They're smart kids," said Paul.
Grant turned to Billy and Simone.
"Billy, Simone, come. We'll salvage what we can from the plane and head for the coast."
"Dr. Grant, we are not leaving this island without our children," said Paul.
"Well, you can go and look for him," said Grant, "or you can stick with us as long as you don't hold us up. Either way you probably won't be getting off this island alive."
Grant, Billy and Simone walked off towards the direction of the plane.
Paul and Amanda turned to Mullins and Udesky.
"So what do we do?" said Paul.
"We search for your kids," said Mullins.
"How?" said Amanda.
"In the direction they're going," said Udesky, pointing to Grant, Billy and Simone.
"Excellent," said Paul.
"Excellent," said Amanda.
And the four of them ran off in their direction.
Discoveries
"Eric! Miles!" shouted Amanda.
"Quiet," said Grant.
"Eric! Miles!"
"Would you stop that?" said Paul, "Dr. Grant says this is very dangerous territory."
"Dr. Grant says this. Dr. Grant says that."
"Well, what's the point of hiring an expert if we won't listen to him?"
"Yeah. Except Dr. Grant isn't looking for Eric nor Miles. He's looking for the coast. Why even bother posing as a couple?"
Paul pondered. Secretly he had a crush on Amanda but just wouldn't admit it yet?"
"Look," he said, "I don't know how to put this but if you wanna find Ben and Eric as much as I wanna find Miles, we should do it within Dr. Grant's authority."
"Maybe you're right. Before that big thing with the fin attacks us again."
All seven survivors searched the wreckage of the plane to find anything useful.
Mullins saw a shotgun in the puddle.
He picked up.
"Udesky, over here."
"Yes, boss."
"I found a shotgun."
"Wow."
"This could come in handy, right?"
"I guess so, boss."
Billy found a camera.
"Guys, over here."
Grant and Simone came over.
"Where did you find that, Billy?" said Simone.
"Here in the wreckage," said Billy.
"Make sure you don't lose it," said Grant, "we might need it later for any purpose."
Paul bought out a change of clothes from the his suitcase and walked behind the plane to change his clothes.
Amanda was there changing her clothes as well.
"Oops, sorry," he said and turned around.
"Be glad you've never seen it before Paul."
"Well, I am. You know. How we've never even lived together before. Just been neighbors. And now I come all the way back here to change and I see you like this. Huh."
"How much weight did you say you lost?
"Twenty, twenty-fire pounds. I've been swimming."
"When you first moved to the neighborhood, you said you hated to swim."
"I've learnt. That's how people change."
"You can say that again."
"You look good."
"So do you."
Both of them turned around and looked at each other.
Paul wore a gray polo shirt and Amanda wore a light pink buttoned-up t-shirt.
Both of them wore a pair of white trousers and ran off to join the others.
Simone saw a huge footprint.
"Guys, look."
Grant and Billy looked down at the footprint.
"Ain't that the same dinosaur that attacked us earlier?" said Billy.
"Yes," said Grant, " and how would you classify it, Billy?
"Obviously a superpredator. My best guess is a Suchimimus with that snout.
"They never got that big," said Grant, "Simone, what's your guess?"
"Um...Baryonyx?"
"Not with that sail," said Grant, "it was the biggest dinosaur any of us had seen so it was a Spinosaurus Aegypticus."
"I don't remember that on InGen's list," said Billy.
"Neither do I," said Simone
"That's because it wasn't on their list," said Grant, "who knows what else they were up to?"
Billy looked past Grant to see Paul approaching.
He was struggling with the straps on his backpack and turning in circles.
Billy regarded him with suspicion.
"So Mr. Roby, tell me, when you climbed K2, did you base camp at 25- or 30,000 feet?
"Thirty-thousand, I think. Closer to the top."
"About a thousand feet above it, actually. Most mountain-climbers remember how tall that mountains were.
Paul knew he was caught.
"Mr Roby, there is no Roby Enterprises, is there?" said Grant
"There is," said Paul, "I own a place called Roby Paint and Title Plus. We're out in the Westgate Shopping Center in Enid, Oklahoma. The "plus" is for bathroom fixtures, fireplaces accessories, patio furniture. Stuff like that."
"I don't suppose that check you wrote us is any good," said Billy.
"He paid us half up front. Cash," said Udesky.
"Mortgaged everything we had to do it," said Paul, "even the store. and if we make it off this island with my son, I swear, I'll make good on the money I owe you. I don't care if it takes me the rest of my life."
Grant and Mullins exchanged a dubious glance.
"However long that is," said Mullins.
Two parasail chutes were caught in the branches of a tree.
Two yellow life vests hung limply from a branch.
Paul rushed over, unsnagged them and examined the labels.
"Young adults," he said, "Miles..."
"Eric..." said Amanda.
"Hey guys," said Udesky.
They all turned to see Udesky holding up a camcorder encased in a waterproof shell.
"That's Ben's!" said Amanda.
She grabbed it from Udesky and popped open the housing. She tried the power switch on the camcorder, but the battery was dead.
Mullins pulled out a flashlight from his pack and looked to Amanda.
"Here," he said, "give that to me."
Amanda handed the camera over to Mullins.
As Mullins fiddled with the flashlight, Grant, Billy and Simone considered the parasail.
"It looks intact," said Billy.
"Most definitely," said Simone.
"We should take it with us to signal any planes," said Grant.
"I think I've got it," said Mullins
He rigged the wires on the flashlight so that the batteries could be used to power the camcorder.
He bought a live wire to the back of the camcorder.
A red power light came on.
"It works!" said Amanda.
"I don't know for how long," said Mullins and swinged the tiny screen out and pushed play.
The others crowded around and looked at the video.
Eric, Miles and Ben were playing frisbee on the beach.
"That's him. That's Miles!" said Paul, "and Eric!"
"I filmed this the morning they left," said Amada.
On the video, Ben caught the frisbee, checked his watch and motioned to Miles and Eric.
The two of them ran over and Ben puts his arm around them as they ran to the camera.
Paul reacted to this image but held his tongue.
The image now cut to a shot from aboard Enrique Cardaso's boat speeding towards Isla Sorna.
Miles and Eric pointed excitedly at the island and smiled at the camera.
Miles, Eric and Ben were soaring off into the sky and the image changed to the view of the island.
"Ben!" shouted Miles.
"We're gonna crash!" shouted Eric.
"Unclip the line!" shouted Ben.
The image cut to the jungle.
Ben and the kids were rolling downhill and Ben unknowingly shut off the camera.
And on that, the power and picture fade away.
"They're alive," said Paul, "I know they're alive."
Amanda bought a hand to her mouth, silently nodding her head.
Grant and Billy exchanged a dubious look then began pulling the parasail out of the tree. As they did so, the sail got caught on a branch.
They pulled harder.
The branch bended, but the sail woudln't come loose.
They pulled one last tug and than, SNAP.
The branch broke, the chute fell away to reveal Ben's skeleton.
The skeleton swung down directly at Amanda.
She screamed and ran off as Billy, Simone, Mullins and Udesky untangled the lines and were able to get the first view of Ben's remains.
"Amanda!" shouted Paul
"Get her back, Mr. Roby," said Grant.
Paul ran after her.
"Amanda!" he shouted.
He finally caught up with her and caught her.
"Amanda, stop, stop, stop."
She turned around and he put his arm around her.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry about Ben."
Amanda recovered from weeping and sobbed "it's not Ben, Paul. I don't care about Ben. I care about Eric. He and Miles are out here all alone."
"Then why are you crying over seeing Ben's skeleton?"
"Well, Paul. After he died, how do you think they will manage out here alone? I guess I was hoping that with Ben around, there'd be someone to keep him safe. But I was wrong."
"It's alright, Amanda. It's alright, we'll find them. We'll find them."
Amanda finally cheered up and hugged Paul back.
The two of them were close to becoming just more then friends.
Back at the wreckage area, Billy and Udesky roleld up the parachute while Simone and Mullins waited on the other side to haul it away.
"Good job there, guys," said Grant, "keep it up."
"Dr. Grant!' shouted Paul, "you have to come look at this!"
The five of them ran from the wreckage area and into the trees to join Paul and Amanda.
The group saw a bunch of nests containing several eggs.
Grant looked at the rear and identified the species in a horrified instant.
"Raptors."
