I stare up at the spotlight, shielding my eyes against the harsh glare as rain pours down from the sky. "Attention, you on the boat! Return to the dock and cut the engine. Immediately!"

"Who the hell are these guys," I call over the sound of the helicopter blades and watch two of the flying vehicles head for the island, splitting off into different directions, while the third hovers above us. Dad makes a noise and I knew he caught that too. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" I ask him and he nods. "Unfortunately."

"Yes, yes, yes! We are saved!" I look over at Kenji as he throws his arms up in celebration, not realizing that just like Tiff and Mitch these people might not be who we hope they are. "Are we?" Darius asks and I chase after the raven haired boy. "Kenj, wait!"

I enter the control room just in time to see him push forward on the throttle to take us back to the dock. My dad rushes forward and pulls it back down, shaking his head. "I don't think this is such a good idea, kid."

"What?"

"Yeah, I'm not exactly getting good guy vibes, Kenj," Darius chimes in and Yaz nods, crossing her arms. "Yeah, unmarked chopper, big scary guns…"

"Oh, I'm sorry, what would you bring to rescue kids from an island full of killer dinosaurs? Cake?!"

"He's got a point," Ben announces and I nod in agreement. "He does, but I still don't think they're here to rescue us. I think they're up to no good just like Tiff and Mitch were."

"Trinity's right, we need to keep on our toes and make the right choice," Dad adds and a loud clap of thunder booms and we all jump at the sudden loud noise. I look out and see multiple flashes of lightning as the thunder rumbles. "The sea is pretty rough," Sammy says with fearful eyes and Dad sighs.

"So, we're gonna take our chances with the people in the helicopters?" Dad asks gazing at each and every one of us. They nod and once he gets to me I nod too. I'd rather us not get capsized by a giant wave while thousands of miles from shore. "Alright. Let's go."

He presses the throttle forward and heads back to the dock. Once there I jump out and tie us down, keeping the boat in place. The helicopter lands not so far away and together we head over to see if we're saved or screwed. A guy with a gun jumps out and we look at him.

If I were a betting girl my guess is that he's a mercenary or a soldier. "What are you kids doing out here?" He asks us as he grabs Kenji's arm and guides him up the ramp that leads into the helicopter. "Long story!" Dad tells him as he gestures us to follow him and I grab the man's outstretched hand to help climb the ramp, ignoring the harsh wind and rain.

Dad and I stay standing looking out at the other's as Kenji sits down, ready to strap himself in. "Wait, if you're not here to rescue us, then why are you here?" he asks the pilot and I freeze when thudding sounds in the distance. "Oh, you've gotta be fucking kidding me."

"Language," Dad reprimands me and I wave his words away. Suddenly a t-rex's roar splits the air and I look to see it in front of the copter. It roars again and Brooklynn drops down, covering her ears against the loud noise. The pilot screams and suddenly pulls up, causing the chopper to leave the ground.

The sudden take off causes Dad and I to fall and hit the floor crying out. "What are you doing?!" Kenji exclaims and I look down at our friends that are getting left behind. Suddenly the helicopter is stopped and I look to the right to see the t-rex hanging off the landing bar. I get to my feet as the t-rex attempts to drag us out of the sky.

Suddenly my father loses his footing and is heading straight for the open door. "Dad!" I race forward and grab onto his arm, Kenji grabs onto my free one to keep both of us from tumbling out of the copter. My dad stares down at the rex with wide eyes as he pants from the scare of almost landing on top of the rex's head.
