Chapter 10

THE SECOND CAR.

Night was completely fallen now, and the rain has started. It's a tropical storm, the rain falling in drenching sheets on the roofs and hoods of the Explorers, which are making their way slowly back to the visitor's centre. Ian and Alan were alone in the car, they were both in their own worlds as they moved.

Alan was lost in his thoughts. He was worrying about Ellie and was wondering if she got back in time before the storm really hit. Then his thoughts shifted to Katie, part of him wished he could be a better father to her and another part of him wished he wasn't. It was just too hard for him to accept that he had a daughter, he wore to himself that he would never have children and that he would dedicate his life to his passion. Dinosaurs.

Now that they have discovered that Dinosaurs were living again on this earth, he didn't know what to do, and that was what scared him the most. "You got any kids?"

Ian glowed if it was possible. "Me? Oh, hell yes three. I love 'em. I love kids anything at all can and does happen."

He took a flask from jacket pocket and unscrewed the top as his expression darkened.

"Same with wives, for that matter. I noticed you uh don't really get on with Katie do you?"

Alan didn't reply, but the look in his eyes told him to drop it.

"Anyway I am always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

The kids were arguing yet again, and the lawyer was snoring. Great! I shook my head.

"So Alan's your dad right?" Lex asked me, I nodded. "Yeah."

She seemed to notice my expression. "You don't seem to be that close with him, I've noticed."

"Maybe she doesn't want to be a daddy's little girl like you Lex." Tim said to her, which she hit him on the arm.

"Shut up Timmy, just cause you're a momma's boy." She said and they started fighting again.

This will be a long night, I put my head against the window. It was starting to get hot in here but I couldn't open the window because of the rain.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Alan and Ian still wait in their car. They don't notice, but the video screen in the middle of their front console suddenly goes black. Ian who was itching to know more about the certain blonde girl who was with Alan.

"By the way, Dr. Sattler….she's not like, uh, available, is she?"

"Why?" Alan tensed up. He knew why.

Ian realized, "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you two, uh are?"

"Yeah." Before Alan could say anything else the cars jerked to a stop. The lights in the vehicle and along the road go out, plunging them into blackness. Alan jerked his hands away from the steering column, immediately assuming it's his fault.

"Hey, what'd I touch?!"

Ian looked puzzled too. "Uhh, you haven't touched anything we stopped."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

The lights and the car suddenly stopped and we jerked. Lex and Tim must have thought that we were seeing another dinosaur but all we could see was a faint lines of a massive fence and darkness.

"Wonder why we stopped." I said, and they all shrugged. The next thing I knew the door opened.

"Dad why have we stopped?" I said as soon as I seen him. He was holding the hat up against his head to prevent it from flying away.

"I don't know," He glanced away from me, "Gennaro has your television stopped too?"

"Yeah, everything has stopped." I said for Gennaro. He looked again at me and nodded.

Dad ignored him. "I think we should stay put, until someone gets us or until the cars work again."

"I agree." The lawyer said, and before I could say anything else Dad had shut the door and ran back to his car.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Alan who was soaking wet, got back into the care and closed the door behind him. Ian turned to him sipping his drink. "Their radio's out too. Gennaro said to stay put." He explained.

"The kids okay?" Ian asked, not making eye contact with him.

"Well, I didn't ask. Why wouldn't they be?"

"Kids get scared." Ian said, Alan looked at him and noticed his expression was a little nervous.

"What's to be scared about? It's just a little hiccup in the power."

"I didn't say I was scared." Ian gave himself away by saying that.

Alan shook his head. "I didn't say you were scared."

"I know."

Ian turned and looked out at the driving rain, and the fence that stood between them and the tyrannosaur paddock. He is scared, as he discovered it was the T. Rex paddock they were in front of when Alan was in the other car.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXO

IN THE FRONT CAR.

Me and Lex, Tim and the lawyer wait, bored out of our minds. The rain drummed on the roof monotonously. Tim was upside down in the front seat, Lex pushed his legs up, and he swings them down. "Up and down, up and down!"

"I can't believe we invited Ian Malcolm." The lawyer mumbled to himself, I raised an eyebrow. What was wrong with Ian Malcolm?

"I think Dr. Grant is really…smart." Lex said a little dreamily.

I thought the urge to gag, "Uh please Lex don't talk about my Dad like that."

Tim climbed into the back seat. Lex hits him with her hat as he moved by her.

"Don't scare me."

Tim found something under the seat and sits up abruptly, holding what looks like a heavy-duty pair of safety goggles. "Hey! Where did you find those things?"

"In a box under my seat."

"Are they heavy?" He asked, irritated.

Tim nodded. I started to notice something then. It was the rain it was coming down harder by the minute, I was getting slightly worried that we wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.

"Then they're expensive. Put them back." He said sternly.

"Come on Gennaro, he's just having a little fun." I said, to which he ignored me and closed his eyes. Tim looked at me for confirmation, I nodded. Tim put on the goggles. Tim stared out the back window of the Explorer with Dad and Ian in it, behind them.

"Oh, cool! Night vision!" He said and smiled.

"You look good with those." I said. Lex was swinging her cap back and forth.

I start to hear something then, it was like a thump. "Lex did you hear that?" I said, and she shook her head while going back to swinging her cap around. THUMP.

Tim got down from the back seat and reached forward to stop her hat. "Can you feel that?"

She don't answer. Tim leaned over to the front passenger seat and looked at the two plastic cups of water that sit in the recessed holes on the dashboard. As we watched, the water in the glasses vibrates, making concentric circles then it stopped and then it vibrates again.

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

"Ok tell me now that you felt that." I said to Lex and the lawyer even turned around to us.

"What is that? M-Maybe it's the power trying to come back on." He said, but the tone in his voice suggests that he wasn't so easily convinced, to be honest I wasn't either.

Tim jumped into the back seat and puts the goggles on again. "What is that?" Lex looked around.

I had a bad feeling, my stomach turned uneasily. Tim turned and looked out the side window. We realised that we were sitting out the T. Rex paddock. The goat was no longer there.

Lex started to breathe heavily. "Where's the goat?" she turned to me but all of a sudden BANG! We all jumped, and me and Lex screamed as something hits the Plexiglas sunroof of the Explorer, hard. We looked up to see the goat's bloody, disembodied goat leg.

The lawyer made a choking noise. "Oh Jesus."

Tim whipped around to look out the side window again. His mouth pop open, but no sound comes out. Through the goggles, he sees an animal claw, a huge one, gripping the cables of the "electrified" fence.

We all heard a loud growling then, and we quickly turned to see a Tyrannosaurus rex. It stood maybe twenty-five feet high, forty feet long from nose to tail, with an enormous, boxlike head that must be five feet long by itself. The remains of the goat hang out of the rex's mouth. It tilts its head back and swallows the animal in one big gulp.

"Oh shit." I said out loud, I shouldn't have in front of the kids but I couldn't help it.

The lawyer was practically shaking, his hand claws for the door handle, and he shoulders it open, and takes off out of the car. Oh my God, he left us!

"He left us. He left us!" Lex cried, I put my arm around her tightly as she started hyperventilating.

"Shhhh." I tried to shush her, but the dinosaur was already making its way out of the paddock. How the hell could it get out? Then I realised when the radio's and power went off in our car, it must have set all of the power of in the entire park.

Dad please help us.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

IN THE REAR CAR.

Alan and Ian turned in the direction Gennaro went. Both were gobsmacked that he just left the kids alone. "Where does he think he's going?"

"When you gotta go, you gotta go."

Ian looked the other way, out the passenger window as he watched the fence begins to buckle, its post collapsing into themselves, the wires snapping free.

"What was that all about?"

His thoughts go to the kids alone in the car, and his daughter.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

IN THE FRONT CAR.

The Rex strided around to the side of the car and peered down, from high above. Tim leaps into the front seat and pulls the driver's door shut. Both kids are terrified, breathing hard, unable to speak. I try to contain my fear, but it was very hard because a real life Rex was walking around free.

"Dr Grant." Lex said looking back at the car in fear. It was funny the way she called for my Dad and not for Ian.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"Boy, do I hate being right all the time." Ian whispered shakily.

"Keep absolutely still its vision is based on movement." Alan replied. They both stayed still as statues. The T-rex turned and strided quickly back towards them. It circled, slowly, bending over to look in at them through the window. Alan and Ian sat in the front seat, watching as the giant legs stride past their windows.

The other car has some light in it and Alan realised one of the kids must have a torch on. He knew Katie wouldn't because she knew that would attract attention to it.

"Turn the light off. Turn the light off." He whispered. The Rex was going over to them, now he was really scared for his daughter and the kids.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

IN THE FRONT CAR.

"LEX TURN IT OFF!" I shouted, but trying to keep it low. There was no point because the thing was already coming towards us. I gathered Lex to me and Tim was trying to come to me, the Rex bended down and looked in through the front windshield, then the side window. Tim is eye to eye with the thing for a second, then the dinosaur raised its head up, above the car.

"I'm sorry….I'm sorry!" Lex shouted at me, and I tried to grab it from her.

"Turn it off, Lex! Turn it off!" Tim climbed over the seat and joined us.

"Where is the button then!" I said, trying to find it, but she was making it difficult from the amount of hands that were fumbling with it.

"I don't know, I don't know. I'm sorry!" Lex shouted, our breathing was heavy.

Me and the Kids look up, through the sunroof, as the head goes higher, and higher, and higher, and then the Rex turned, looked straight down at us through the sunroof, opens its mouth wide and ROARED!

The windows rattled and Lex screamed as the flashlight goes on again, "Come on, give it to me!" I screamed, I was really scared now.

SMASH! BOOM! The Rex had us on the seats as it smashed down into us. Half of the glass was only preventing us from getting eaten as we all screamed in horror, the Rex snarled at us viciously.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Finally the T. Rex makes an appearance! How will they get out of this one? Updates may be slow as I am back in college on Tuesday. But I will have this finished as soon as I can.

Thanks for my reviewers and followers and favourites.
