Arnold radios to Gennaro and Muldoon to tell them he knows Nedry’s location. Muldoon and Gennaro drive to the spot where Nedry’s body and the Jeep are sitting, and Nedry is being devoured by compys. Muldoon grabs the rockets from the back of the Jeep to take down the T-rex with. They ask Arnold if he can see the T-rex, but the dinosaur is not showing up on the system at all. In the park, Grant and the kids hear a scream in the distance and decide to stop at the aviary for safety and to see if any of the phones there are working.

Arnold still cannot find Grant and the kids or the T-rex on the monitors. Malcolm suggests that the motion sensors probably do not cover the roads or river, and the dinosaurs may be using those routes to avoid detection. Arnold scoffs at this, stating that the animals are not that smart, but Malcolm insists “it’s not clear how stupid the animals are” (310). He asks if Grant and the kids might be on the river heading back, and Arnold hopes not because the aviary that the river passes through houses four “fiercely territorial” (311) cearadactyls.
