Day 5
The raptors banged and scratched upon the door. But it seemed it was too thick to break through.
“Maybe they can’t get through...” mumbled Nick.
“Hah! They’ll find a way,” Peter laughed. The team was sitting in front of the main door, guns aimed at it.
“I’m beginning to worry we might not be able to out-gun the raptors,” Nick said. “Maybe we should-”
“Plaaaaaaane!” screamed Kyle, so loud he scared everyone. “Plane! On the radar screen! We have to attract its attention!”
“How?” Laura asked, looking over his shoulder.
“Simple. We fire a bunch of flares. I’ll go!” Kyle replied, as if it were obvious. He grabbed a silver suitcase from under his desk and ran upstairs. Then the window exploded in a shower of raindrop-splattered glass. The hastily welded-on bars broke from their holds and flew across the room. One smashed into the computer. The other merely clattered to the floor. Sparks shot out of the computer as the automatic door whooshed open. The raptors were in. A basketball sized rock lay on the floor near Terrence. They had used it to smash the window.
“Fire!” yelled Jake, but the others already had. However, just as Terrence thought, the skeleton-raptors were mostly immune. They snarled as they overtook the guy in front, Diego. They dragged him into the storm and ripped him apart. The rainwater on the ground that slowly drizzled around turned dark red.
“Retreat!” yelled Nick, but Laura and Peter were already running. As Nick and Jake ran, Mack didn’t budge.
“Mack! Come on!” Jake tried to scream over the roaring storm. He grabbed Mack by the collar and dragged him along. Suddenly they heard several explosions coming from above.
Terrence shook his head and smiled. “Kyle.”
Laura, Jody and Nick ran into the infirmary. Derek sat up. “What’s going on?” he asked sleepily. No one answered.
“Okay he has 3 broken ribs and a fractured fourth.” Jody quickly sputtered. “We gotta get him outta here.”
“How do you know?” questioned Laura nervously.
“I’m the doc.” Jody laughed. Nick had his gun aimed at the locked door.
“Um... excuse me but we better get out of here.” Nick declared. The others agreed. Laura and Jody grabbed up Derek and hauled him away while Nick watched for raptors.
Terrence, Mack, Jake, and Peter reached the roof. Kyle was already there.
“They circled over 6 times!” he yelled excitedly. “They must’ve seen us!”
“Of course, that’s why they landed,” Terrence said sarcastically.
“Well, of course they didn’t land! Where would they safely?” Suddenly Laura, Jody, Derek and Nick burst through the door.
“What’s up?” asked Nick, shielding his eyes from the violent rain.
“There was-” Kyle was interuppted. A helicopter was in the sky.
“Attention! Attention! We are lowering to pick you up. Please stay calm.” The helicopter lowered a rescue rope.
“Awesome!” Jody punched at the air. They sent up Derek first. Then came the Pteronadons.
“Noooo! They’re back!” yelled Jake as the Pteronadon swooped down. It was large, probably an Alpha. It was speeding toward the helicopter.
“Pull back! shouted the pilot. The pteronadon was sliced in the stomach by the whirling blade, it pulled back, too.
“We can’t pick you up, reach the ship on the north beach, it’s close to hear, good luck!” The helicopter started off. “Oh, yeah! Here’s some help!” A canister fell out of the chopper and through a window into the building. Gas began to slowly creep out of it. 9 gas masks also hit the roof, right nearby.
“Well,” Laura smiled, “let’s go!” They threw on the gas masks and ran back into the building.
All the raptors had fallen asleep. They grabbed a few things, like weapons. They wandered warily, not wanting to wake up any raptors. They left, heading toward the ship that will finally save them. Unfortunately, they have one more little problem...
