Escaped Hunters

Chapter 4

Lainey Blake
Mr.Hammond bring us to a dining room with videos about the park at every wall. I sit next to Dad and the servers put down a dish in front of us. Mr.Hammond ask the adults' opinions about the park and I totally zoned out from the heated conversation and play my food with my fork.

I heard Ian debate his opinions with Mr.Hammond about the dinosaurs existence. He even bangs the table!
Gennaro of course think about how much money can make and suggest admissions about 2000-10 000 dollars like that. Of course Mr.Hammond insist that all people around the world should go instead the rich ones only and Gennaro suggest they should have coupon day. Then I heard Ellie talks about the ecosystem and looks and I don't know.

"Lainey?"

I stop playing my food when Mr.Hammond call me and I realize that everyone at the table is looking at me."Hmm?"
"Can I hear your opinions about the park?" Mr.Hammond ask.

"Umm...yeah. As much how mind blowing it is and I truly appreciate it but they already went through their lives millions of years ago and you brought them back to ours, did they deserve another chance? Only this time with humans this time."

"What are you saying?" Mr.Hammond ask.

"What I'm saying is those dinosaurs are unpredictable and if they think us as a threat their natural instincts will kick in and most likely will defend themselves by attacking us especially those vicious carnivores. I'm not saying no I just not so sure yet." I said.

When I finish, everyone look at me,their mouths hanging wide open. "What? I might be only 15 and I've been around with my Dad since I learn how to walk." I point out.

"Dr.Blake? How about you?"

Dad clear his throat before speaking.

"Well umm...I have been in this work for years and this is the first time I witness what was supposed to be dead and a history of millions of years ago now standing on earth, alive and pretty much healthy. Like my daughter said, those dinosaurs are unpredictable and they will attack if they think us as a threat and what do we do to protect ourselves? We use guns and bombs! And just like that they were kill with violence and who bring them back? Scientists and if they attack us and we fight back again. The process repeats. Don't you think its kinda cruel we bring them back to our world, they only attack because it's their natural instincts and we kill them?"

"Dr.Blake I appreciate that you are concern about safety and I assure you that the park's security system is our number one priority and we are taking extreme precautions. Dr.Grant if there is anyone in this room who understand this that would be you right?" Everyone look at Alan.

Alan run his hand through his hair. "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by sixty-five million years ago of evolution have just been suddenly being thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?"

Mr.Hammond takes a deep breath. "I don't believe it! You were meant to come down here and defend me against these characters and the only one I've got on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer!"

"Thank you." Gennaro stammers, slightly confused and offended. Poor guy, doesn't understand that Mr.Hammond is actually being angry and sarcastic.

The whole table went quiet for a few minutes. A server come in and whispers something to his ear. Mr.Hammond looks engrossed to the conversation. Mr.Hammond nod and usher the server to leave and he he put on a wide smile to us.

I look at Dad beside me,raising an eyebrow at him questioning why Mr.Hammond smiling like that. Dad only shrug at me and took a sip of his drink. I look back at Mr.Hammond who is have that smile.

"They're here." he simply said.

Wait what? Who's here?
