Later in the night, Gerry checked on Nima who had fallen asleep from the medication.
"Well, that should get her through the night...what's left of it. Tomorrow we'll get her proper treatment."
Jess didn't say anything.
"I don't hear those dinosaurs anymore." Gerry said. "I bet they're far away."
"Yeah..." Jess said softly.
Gerry went to a shelf and turned on a box flashlight.
"That reminds me of your old nightlight." Gerry said. "Remember that? You wouldn't go to sleep without it."
"Dad, dinosaurs can't get through that door...right?" Jess asked.
"Not a chance." Gerry said. "That's solid steel."
"Dad?" Jess asked.
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Remember how I said I wanted to see the dinosaurs fight each other?"
"Yeah..."
"...That was awesome!"
"Get some sleep, honey."
Jess yawned, and laid down, curled up.
Gerry got up and walked over to the shelves. He grabbed a Mauser Model 1914 T-Gewehr converted into a tranquilizer rifle. He opened a case, grabbed a dart, and loaded the rifle.
Gerry walked over to Jess and sat down, laying the rifle in his lap. He quickly fell asleep.
