"A failed rescue in a Chaotic situation means the chances of team survival to be very slim."

BILLY RETURNS
The team walked up the steap grade in the center of the island going toward the Pteranodon Aviary and The Lodge. Marty Guitierrez was in the lead of the team as they came up to the large entry gate and entered making sure to shut the door completely behind them.
Guitierriez sighed as he saw the Lodge infront of him through the thick fog. For several years he'd been told by Richard Levine that this place was wonderful, and was better then Disney World could ever hope to be, but all Guitierrez had saw so far was everything but that. Constant running from large killing machines, stupid corporate people trying to take animals off the island, and the deaths of several people.
Everyone entered the lodge slowly as Muldoon took his gun off his shoulders getting ready for a possible attack.
Suddenly they heard a short moaning from one of the other rooms down the hallway. Grant stopped and stared foward with his eyes wide. He hoped to god that it wasn't an animal. "Everyone stay here," Grant said. "Muldoon and I will check it out. We'll be right back."
Grant and Muldoon walked forward going down the hallway where they both saw paper lieing on the ground as well as old food wrapers everywhere. The moan came again from what sounded like to be the next room on the left.
Muldoon got infront of Grant with his gun ready to fire and all of a sudden the silence was broken by the sound of screaming as Billy Brennan came crashing out the door at them with a hammer. He almost hit Grant in the head before he realized who was there. "Alan," Billy said so stunned that he grabed Grant and hugged him. "Is it really you?" Billy was begining to cry.
"Yes, Billy." Grant said looking at the blood on his face and the tears in his cloths. "You're not seeing things."
"I thought you guys would've been rescued by now," Billy said.
"Actually a rescue was attempted," Muldoon said. "But it failed and now four more people are dead and we've got two more people stuck here with us."
"I can't beleive you're still alive," Grant said with tears in his eyes. "I thought those Pteranodons had you."
"So did I, but the thing is they realized that you guys left the main gate to the Aviary open and they flew out leaving me there," Billy said. "I tell ya though I'm not doing so well. It's hard to walk or anything. It took me forever to get up here. Is there any way else for us to get off this island now?"
"We don't know," Muldoon said.
From the enterance to the building the three men heard the sound of Ellie Reiman's voice calling them back. "Guys,You might want to get in here. I think I've found something. This might be our only way off this island."
"Was that Ellie," Billy said.
"Yes," Grant said. "I'm afraid so."
The three men walked back into the main lobby to see the six other people staring at something at the side of the room.
Grant, Muldoon, and Billy looked over everyone's shoulders to see a telephone with the cable still connected and a small light flashing.
"I fixed it," Ellie said. "It was really rather easy."
"My bloody god," Muldoon said shocked. "This may be our ticket out of here."
"Yes, but who do we trust to try to get us out of here the proper way. You saw how our rescue failed. We ended up trapped her. We don't want that to happen again."
Guitierrez looked up from the phone and thought about how Levine was always a good person about getting people out of bad situations, and besides he had been to this island before. He should know what to do.
"I think I know the perfect person," Guitierrez said.
