Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Back again! Wahoo. Let's get to it. Have a good day, stay home, stay safe.

"You on the boat! Return to the dock and cut the engine immediately!" the voice on the helicopter ordered again.

Kenji cheered. "We're saved! Yeah! Wahoo!"

Darius wasn't convinced. "Are we? Because that's what we said last time." The older teen raced to where Kenji was steering. He saw that Kenji was starting to steer back towards the island. Darius cut the engine.

"What the hell man?" Kenji asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly getting good guy vibes Kenji." Darius explained himself.

The others had made it behind Darius. Yasmina put her two cents in. "Think about it. Unmarked choppers, big scary guns..."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kenji said sarcastically. "What would YOU bring to rescue six kids from a dinosaur island? Cake?"

Darius started thinking, "We didn't send out any call for help. And the LAST time we thought someone was here to save us, we ended up almost getting killed."

Kenji dismissed it. "Maybe Dave and Roxie DID end up finding a way to get help."

A flash of lightning came across the ocean. Sammy spoke up. "The sea is looking pretty rough."

Darius looked at the group. "All who think that we should keep moving out to sea, raise your hand." Darius was the only one to raise his hand. "Who thinks we should take our chances with the people on the chopper?" Everyone else raised their hands. Darius had a bad feeling about this, but he decided that if it's what everyone else thought they should do, he would agree. He took his hand off of the accelerator.

Kenji started to steer back towards land. Darius took this chance to go through one of the bags. He checked, and found more ammo for the shotgun. It wasn't a whole lot, but it never hurt to be prepared. Brooklynn came up behind him. "Why are you loading the gun?"

"It's just a precaution." Darius assured her. "I don't plan on killing anyone. It's just a sign for them to be careful. And if we DO end up getting in a fire fight, I want at least SOME way to fight back." Brooklynn nodded.

A few minutes later, they were back at the dock. The helicopter landed, and a jeep pulled up a few seconds later. Two men exited the helicopter and the jeep. "What are you kids doing here?" one of the guys yelled.

"Long story!" Ben yelled back as he boarded the chopper.

"Too long!" Sammy assured.

"Way too long!" Kenji added.

The woman flying the chopper spoke into her comm. "Echo Five, we found six kids. Please advise. Over."

They realized that they weren't here looking for them. "Wait, if you guys aren't here to rescue us, then why are you here?"

"That's confidential information." one of the guys outside of the chopper told them. "We can only fit three passengers onto this chopper. The rest of you are going to have to come with me."

We nodded. The co pilot went around the chopper to get into his seat. The driver of the jeep was about to get into the car, when a loud thud was heard and felt. They got closer and closer. A tall figure broke through the tree lines. Darius was the first to see Queen Rexy. "Motherfu-" RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAR! The big animal came charging through. The chopper quickly got off the ground, leaving her guys and the rest of the campers on the ground. The two mercs chased after the chopper, trying to tell them to wait. But Rexy was too fast, and bit down on both of them. Yaz, Darius, and Brooklynn raced to get into the jeep. That was the only way they were going to escape the Queen of the dinosaurs.
