#15 of The new dinosaur

You wanted it... your getting it!

I told you not yet... but now its time!

The friendly Indominus Rex!

Also, sorry for my short break... Apparently my stomach wont let me eat toast and drink orange juice within a hour of each other.


"Alright men!" I said as I looked over the bunch "The drug should have the Indominus Rex feeling pretty drunk"

The men and furs stood at attention as I looked over there badges... One number caught my eye, the number was 007. I said "I calling you Bond... James bond"

The seal said "excuse me sir?"

"double-o-seven" I said "James bond"

"but my name is Gorge, sir" he said

"so?" I said "My name's Jake and you call me sir!" I pat the seal on the back and said "you wait here for the truck, James" he nodded

"come on men" I said and set down the trail "this is going to be... interesting"

We only had to go as far as the clearing that I first found him in, he was staggering around... Just *so * stoned from the drug.

I've been very tempted to inject myself with the drug to see what the dinosaurs feel like when they get shot with it... But knowing my luck, I would get addicted to it.

The Indominus Rex runt fell to the ground and we slowly approached the high dinosaur. His eyes where still open, he was still awake, still dangerous. He pushed himself to his feet and tried to walk on all four legs, but he was too stoned to figure out how to walk while missing a arm and fell down, sound asleep.

We tossed a blanket over his head, just in-case he wakes up before we are done tying him up. We tied his legs together and bound his mouth closed. This is about when we heard the truck driving up the trail.

007 backed the flatbed truck as close to the runt as possible, he got out and asked "Now, how the heck do we get him on the truck?"

"well... theirs one of him and" I quickly counted the men "and 12 of us! It cant be that hard!"

We must have tried a million different things to get the Indominus Rex on the truck and we have only gotten as far as his hips on it. "Any other ideas?" I asked

007 said "you guys lift and I'll back the truck under him!"

"James bond" I said "your a bloody genius!"

We gathered around the runt, 007 said "tell me when!"

With whatever might we had, we lifted the runt. "Back up!" I shouted and the truck slowly moved back. Eventually we had the Indominus on the truck, only a foot or two of his tail poking off the end and we tied him to the truck.

It was a long slow ride back to Indominus Rex enclosure, we got there and we simply enclosed the truck in a thick iron bar cage.

It was only as the sun went down that the runt woke up, I walked over to him and slipped the blanket off his head. I put a hand on the side of his head and said "finally woke up eh?" he never responded.

We only had three hours to work on his enclosure, yet we still finished a quarter of the enclosure... It should be done by midday tomorrow if we work trough the night. We did just that.

We cut the ropes and bonds. With a crane, we reached in and lifted the cage off him... Sadly we had to leave the truck as a play toy, it didn't last too long.

Matt, Gena and I where watching the runt. Gena asked "So he was really scared of the other Indominus?"

I noticed something was off, I never responded to Gena, I pressed my face against the glass and said "Don't follow me..." in a soft voice. I ran trough the employees only door, checked my I.D. card at the I.D. activated door and ran into the enclosure.

He never charged at me, he cowered in the corner... I slowly approached him with a arm out, facing him. The runt closed his eyes and put his hand over his face... My hand touched his shoulder, he slowly turned his head to face me.

The look on his face, through his ragged teeth, through the angry look that his crest gives him, through the spikes he looked like he was about to cry... He looked like he was making puppy eyes at me.

I didn't think a dinosaur could smile but sure as hell, this one could!

He looked like he wanted to play a game with me, but a game to him would probably kill me... I said "If only you could speak"

A faint moan escaped the runt.

"do you understand me?" I asked

He nodded slightly and let another moan out.

"We need to work-out a good way for us to communicate!" I said as I sat on the mangled mess of the truck.

He nodded again slightly.

I pointed at the truck "This was a truck" I said

He tilted his head and nodded.

I walked over to the wall and said "this is a wall"

He slowly ran a claw down the wall.

Gena shouted "What the heck are you doing?"

"He's friendly" I said "at least to me!" I turned to the Indominus Rex and asked "will you be nice to Gena and Matt?"

He reached-up, scratched his chin and tilted his head.

"Not yet?" I asked

He nodded

I shouted to Gena "He's not ready to be nice to you two yet!"

"What?" she asked

The runt rolled hie eyes and roared

"Got it!" Gena said

"god!" I said "my ears!" I put my hands over my ringing ears.

With one claw, he carefully lifted a hand off my ear and tilted his head.

I asked "not familiar with the concept of god?"

The runt shook his head

"Eh... Well" I tried to think of what to say "it's not important... Maybe I'll explain god when we work out a good communication... Okay?"

He nodded.

I looked at my watch and said "well, its your feeding time! so I'll drop ya your food and see you tomorrow"

He waved.

It took months... Nearly a year to make a very basic translation book. We where having very basic conversations. The basic translation book evolved into a more complex one... Than a even more complex book. There came a point, nearly three years and we had a near finished translation book, But every week or so I would have to add a new sound.

Thats when I made it, a simple, padded collar with complex censors that could translate the smallest noise into a word or phrase and even express feelings with voice tones. We could talk like two people speaking the same language!

"hey runt!" I said

He waved and tilted his head.

I said "I have a present for you"

He knelt down.

I put the massive collar around his neck.

He tilted his head, a voice asked "what is this?" his jaw dropped "I am surprised" a smile went across the Indominus's face
