What sleeps in the deep

Ch 15: Past the unknown

Stella now looking through the maps and pages of everything collected together she saw the potential of what can be done.
"Guys we have enough to do something. Lets get out of here."
As everyone quickly got up to get going Jade immediately stopped Nate.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Ma, these people are gonna need help."
"So you're the expert now?"
"But Ma-"
"You are not missing school for this. Get to bed Nathan."
"Spike! You're keeping watch tonight. This boy is not going anywhere except to bed."
" Yes, ma'am"
"I'll be back Spike I'm dropping these people off with the truck. Call me if something happens."
"Sure nana."
She grinned at Spike and watched Nate sulk his way to his room. After the boys settled in she grabbed the car keys and stepped out.

Stella and the others were already down the hill figuring out where the exit to the property was.
"Hey guys, do you need a ride?!"
She waved her keys.

Luis couldn't refrain from smiling. "God provides." [murmured Luis]

Kilo couldn't help but notice Luis's reaction and how out of character it was for Luis to react to 'new' people.
"Oooo. Could it be possible that a tough old man get soft over M'lady?"

With a brisk punch to the shoulder, Luis quickly snapped back "At least I still have my senses after a 2 second conversation with an angel. Can't say the same about you romeo."

He proudly walked towards the women who were now getting into the pickup truck. Kilo stood there dumbfounded and quickly chased Luis to dispute the new claims.
"Hey! wait a second!"

As the guys hopped in the cargo bed, Stella was next to Jade, "Miss Jade, you seem very knowledgeable about these creatures. I hope you don't mind in asking you to maybe join us-at least until its over."

"Well Stella, I wouldn't mind helping. These animals can get out of control when provoked. They are normally not the kind of species to invade at least without a good cause. But, will your friends be okay with my company?"

"Oh, I don't need to even ask. Any help is welcomed. But now that you mentioned that, I was looking into what the oil company near here was doing and I think its the reason why the monsters from the past are coming back with vengeance."

"I wouldn't be surprised honestly. Its not the first time nature got interrupted by these people. Frankly, my dear I would let nature take it's course. Nature is very strong and it's much more resilient than what you think."

"I agree with you Jade. The only issue is that there are people missing and others dead. The Jurassic beast does not fit in-clearly. Something must be done on our end before someone else with no morels take over."

Jade then silently agrees, based on what Stella was briefly telling her-this problem is a lot bigger than what it already was.

"Hey Jade we're almost there. Keep going straight and then by the mailbox turn into that road."

"Got it hun."

As the truck traveled through that dirt road Kilo hears a distance radio chatter from within the neighboring trees.

"Hey Luis, did you hear that?"

"Huh?"

"Something's in those woods over there."

Luis quickly jerked up and started looking around, "What kind of noise did you hear kid?"

"I may be going crazy but I swear I heard a radio-that way."

Luis quickly glanced in the direction Kilo pointed and then started closely looking towards some nearby openings in the woods and saw the nose of a black SUV. Just barely catching a glimpse of its headlights-Luis knew those weren't hunters.
