Terrance's Story: Jurassic Park Chapter 17

Plans

Terrance and Thorn are lying down in the cement room. They are both making a quick recovery, and they are growing used to being fed and sleeping in the small room.

Hammond was walking with Muldoon. They were discussing what should be done with Terrance. "I say kill him before the park opens and sell his teeth as souvenirs. As for the rest of him, feed the parts to the other carnivores. They don't care if the meat comes from a farm animal or another dinosaur. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the little one were to dig in if we killed him now." "Robert, why do you want to kill him? You've been pretty touchy about the situation, and no matter what's said to you, you want him dead." "Just look at him. He's huge, he's got scars everywhere, and the left side of his face will scare just about anyone. One of the soldiers I was talking to even got freaked out when he saw him." "Have some sympathy Robert. He did save your life after all." "I know, but he was just as quickly ready to kill me instead of tackling one of the Sauropods." "That's just him being a predator. You should know that, predators will go for the easiest meal they can find." "I guess you have a point."

Terrance didn't understand a word that either of them said, but he looked at Thorn and went to sleep. Thorn was listening to the conversation, understanding simple words such as dead and kill.

"What makes you think the big Rex is male anyway?" "He's stubborn, won't take no for answer, he was a complete asshole to me when he first found me, and he does what he wants, when he wants." "Some females are like that." "Not to the degree that the Rex is. Male or not, that Rex is one tough son of a bitch, and it only cares for that little Rex." "Then why not have them both in the park? Look at them, it shows that the big, mean looking one has feelings, and that's what I want. I want to show that these dinosaurs are living things, that they care for one another, and that they are magnificent creatures."
