We were walking and suddenly we came across and opening in the jungle that had a parachute hanging from a tree. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby went running towards it both screaming, "Eric!" Alan was trying to get them to be quiet and Mr. Kirby stopped shouting as he stared at something. Mrs. Kirby continued, "Eric!" Alan finally shut her up telling her, "Mrs. Kirby! Mrs. Kirby the chances are remote they're still in the vicinity." Mr. Kirby ran towards the thing he was staring at and I looked closer to see it was a life vest. "Young adult." He said kind of quietly. "Hey guys!" Udesky was calling them, but Billy, Alan and I stayed by the parachute, observing it. Something wasn't right about it. If I looked really really close I could just see what looked like a man. That can't be right. A noise starting coming from the guys over there and Billy and Alan walked towards them. I stayed behind though. I was trying to untangle the ropes from the trees. Without success. I sighed and walked over to everyone else. They were watching a video camera. Mrs. Kirby was saying, "I shot this the morning they disappeared." "He's alive, I know he's alive. We're gonna find him." Mr. Kirby was trying to comfort her, but even I could hear the uncertainty in his voice.

I stumbled over to Billy and Alan, because there were things all over the forest floor! Alan asked Billy, while looking up at the parachute, "Can you fly one of those?" Billy looked at it, unsure, "Maybe, as long as the sail's not torn." "Well, let's take it. If we spot a plane, it might be a good way to get attention." Billy and Alan started to pull it down, just as it fell and headed right towards me. It was in fact a man as I had thought, but before it could hit me, I ducked. That was a close one. Mrs. Kirby wasn't so lucky. She got all tangled in it and started freaking out screaming, while everyone was trying to get it off of her. "Stop, hold on Amanda!" Mr. Kirby was trying to calm her down. "AHHHH! Oh my God, it's Ben!" Oh, well that sucks. Just got divorced and now her boyfriend's a skeleton. She got untangled and made a weird shivering like motion and ran away. Alan yelled to Mr. Kirby, "Get her back Mr. Kirby!" As Mr. Kirby ran after he, we got the skeleton down and off of the parachute. And boy did that smell wonderful! Not. Billy, Alan, and I were rolling up the parachute as Mr. Kirby called, "Dr. Grant! You should come look at this!" He got up, and I followed suit. All of us leaving Billy to roll it up by himself.

When we got there, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby were standing looking at what they called us over for. There weer nests. Lost of nests. Alan looked at all of them, and silently said, "Raptor!" "WHAT?" "Shhh!" He quietly yelled at me. Oops, chances are that they might be around. Stupid Abigail. We started to walk away because this was probably not the best place to be and Mr. Kirby was telling Mrs. Kirby, "We're gonna find him, you listening to me? We're gonna find him. The kid's got resources. Remember what it was like to try to ground him?" I'm really starting to like this Eric kid more and more. Maybe I shouldn't say kid, he's the same age as me and I didn't want Billy to call me a kid. Speaking of which, where is Billy? I think Alan read my mind because he stopped and asked, "Where's Billy?" Both of us stopped and turned around as everyone kept going. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby looking like they didn't really care. But sure, when they're son goes missing we all have to act like it's the number one important thing.

We ran through some trees and found Billy, clipping up his bag. "What are you doing?" Alan asked, kind of irritated. "I was photographing the nest." Billy was kind of out of breath, like he usually is when he does something bad. Hmmmm. "Don't do that again." "I'm sorry." He sort of laughed as he said it like he didn't know it was such a bad thing to do. Billy had done something, Alan hasn't known him as long as me, so he can't tell he's lying. But, I know he's done something wrong. "If I lose you, it's just me and the damn tourists." I laughed and registered what he said. "Hold on! What am I? Already dino lunch?" They laughed and me and Billy patted my head like I was a dog. I yanked away from him and stuck me tongue out. The nerve of those two!

We came across a building that looked really beaten up, but so far the nicest thing I've seen yet. Mr. Kirby was telling us, "I bet you Eric's in there. Don't you? I'd bet my bottom dollar." He ran ahead of us, Mrs. Kirby at his heels. Alan went ahead and so did Billy and Udesky. Bill asked him, "What do you think it is?" "As far as I'm concerned, it's the Four Seasons." I chuckled, oh Udesky. Well, I guess that was pretty true. I started walking behind them and heard a noise from behind me when we were just walking into the building. I stopped as everyone else went ahead inside. I looked around and I swear I saw a tail just running behind the building. I ran inside, not planning on telling anyone in case I was going insane.

"Eric!" Mr. Kirby was yelling for him and Mrs. Kirby yelled, "Paul, don't!" She shook her head and I mumbled, "Hypocrite." I got a nasty look from her, but I gave her one right back. She was really getting on my nerves now. She walked forward and we all stopped. There was a phone. An actually phone. She said, "What the hell?" And grabbed the phone, putting it to her ear. I held my breath, and let it out as she slammed the phone down. Of course, no service. We walked up some stairs and found vending machines. As though my stomach knew, it started to growl. Billy laughed at me as Mr. Kirby was searching through his pockets, saying, "Who's got some change? It only takes quarters. I got, like- I got a buck ten." I laughed at how much of a good guy he was. I poked Billy and when he looked at me, I nodded at the other vending machine. He understood and went over to it, kicking a whole in it. I laughed when Mrs. Kirby yelped because she hadn't been expecting it.

I smiled gratefully when Billy threw me some Fritos. My favorite. Yum, I stayed behind waiting for Mr. Kirby as he tried to kick a whole in the machine. Without any luck; he just groaned in pain. I chuckled a little at his feeble attempt, and continued down the stairs with everyone else. I was enjoying my food and when I was done, I just dropped it on the ground. Littering was probably the least of my worries now. I looked around and saw everywhere incubators, and broken egg shells laying on the ground. There were cases of dinosaurs hooked up to machines and I found it interesting. I was walking by them and heard Mrs. Kirby ask, "This is how you make dinosaurs?" Alan answered her, "No, this is how you play God." I took that into thought as I was looking at each failed attempt of a dinosaur. I stopped at one that looked pretty much like a success. It looked fine to me and as I looked closer I swear it's eye moved. I knotted my eyebrows in confusion and that's when it jumped out from behind it and tried to get at me. I screamed, "Ahhh! BILLY!" They all looked at me and saw what had happened, I was running and felt someone grab me to hurry me up. Billy. I'm so glad he's here with me.

We ran around a corner and saw cages everywhere, Alan shouted, "This way! This way!" We ran down the hall and tried to open the door of one of them, without success. Billy and I were still trying to get it opened as the Velociraptor came into view. Everyone else ran into a different cage and locked it. Billy and I managed to get it open and hurry inside just as it ran towards us. We slammed it shut, but the thing was strong and pushed against us, making the door come inside the cage. We were trapped against the side and I could hear the other guys yelling to get it's attention. Suddenly everyone went quiet and I looked up, understanding why. It was starting to climb the top, no way! Billy screamed, "Push! Push!" I fought off my urge to say 'I'm not giving birth!' and I just started pushing the door with all my might. I was grunting from pushing so hard, finally we got it to hit the other side as it got over the top. We locked it against the side and the rest of the guys joined us as we started running.

The thing started to caw and I couldn't believe that it was actually climbing out of it. Alan stopped and stared at it in amazement, "My God. He's calling for help." I grabbed his arm, "Come on!" We started running, and I was sticking close to Alan because everyone else was far ahead. We came through some bushes and long grass, but I could still hear it cawing and I heard others answer. As we came into a clearing there were dinosaurs running everywhere! I was just glad they were herbivores. Alan shouted, "Head to the herd!" Great, I might get trampled. I saw Billy fall up ahead and lose his bag. He kept running, but looked back to search for it. Alan grabbed it as we were running and he shouted once more, "Head for the trees!" I followed close to him as we came into the jungle once more. I guess I wasn't going insane;that's a good thing. Let's just hope into the trees was a good order.
