Chapter 7

(A/N) As I missed yesterday's, here's two chapters

The prisoners were now well aware that their captors were highly trained ex-military that weren't going to fall for a pathetic ruse like before. They also knew that the only way off the island was by the InGen boats.

So they played good little prisoners.

There would be no sleep tonight. There would be no sleep the next day. Mullins had informed the prisoners of the basics of the plan. They would transport the injured one-by-one and then in the morning they would begin the trek to the south.

It was ten in the morning when Cain and the others returned with the tank after transporting the last injured person to safety.

That left twelve prisoners for Alan, Ellie, Harry, Scar, Jelly, Mullins' team and the two extra security men from the base to escort.

Harry was not really counted due to his special role and neither was Larkin who would drive the tank. Harry had given the raptors orders to kill any who tried to escape or attack them or their friends.

It took all day but they made it back to the base with no injuries and no escape attempts.

The prisoners were immediately cuffed by Royal Navy Marines who then transported them to their ship for transport to Costa Rica.

InGen's intelligence division had gotten images of the prisoners from Mullins' team and had already identified several of them as employees of Biosyn, InGen's biggest corporate rival.

Hammond was immediately on the television decrying the company's inhumane actions. He turned them into demons for attempting to kill or capture the dinosaurs and for foolishly crashing their aircraft and forcing InGen's people to have to brave the treacherous island to rescue them.

The wall and electrified fence were now installed and should be capable of keeping a rex out. There was a permanent high speed boat capable of extracting the workers if the fence was breached.

The entire island was bordered by high, treacherous cliffs and the only landing point was at the south.

Harry, the scientists and Mullins team piled back onto the ferry with Scar and Jelly and headed back to Isla Nublar.

"Wow, it looks a lot different." Harry said as he admired the finally finished compound as they stood in the courtyard.

"Harry!"

The group turned to see Tim running up to them with John strolling behind as he held a very nervous Lex's hand.

"Tim, Lex, what are you doing back on the island?"

"Grandpa wanted us to be the first real tourists." Tim beamed, his eyes flickering to the raptors with undisguised curiosity.

"The tiny one is watching us."

Lex visibly jumped at the barking noise Jelly made.

"Jelly was just commenting on Tim watching them." Harry turned to the raptors. "This is Tim and the female is Lex. They were with us when you were hunting us, remember?"

"They had tough skin and sharp claws they left on the ground!" Scar said excitedly.

"Those really hurt." Jelly grumbled.

"You kept standing on them." Scar retorted.

"Lex is scared of you." Harry said quietly.

"She smells extra tasty." Scar nodded.

"She is a little Ellie. Maybe she needs a shotgun like Ellie." Jelly said before she turned and ran off.
