004.FlowerWith the Pteranodon having given up, and Billy having found shelter in a small cave, he idly muses on the fact that the flowers on Isla Sorna are the prettiest he's ever seen; then again, they'd probably try and kill him too.
005.Hat BoxFor Alan's next birthday, Billy gets him an obnoxious hat box, laughing as he says Alan might not lose his hat now.
006.JumpIt's a long way down, but Billy's leapt into more foreboding depths than this; besides, he's never been chased by a hungry Pteranodon before.

008.FatherHis father balked at the idea of Billy wanting to be a paleontologist, urging Billy to pursue a "real" career.

010.Kaleidoscope"There's one question answered--" Billy says to Alan, smile on his face, "--they really did come in every color."
011.Primary ColorsBilly comes to for several disjointed seconds, his vision fuzzy but able to distinguish bits and pieces of his current state - red blood marking his wounds; murky, bluish-brown water lapping at his feet; and a disgusting yellow slop that he can't and doesn't want to name.

018.HomelandFor the first time in his life, Billy's glad to see a city skyline breaking into the horizon.

027.FingersHe gets attacked by Pternadons and the only bones he breaks are in the fingers of one hand?
028.DamageNow that he and Alan and the Kirbys know why the raptors are chasing them, Billy prays to God that he didn't fuck up any of the eggs.
029.GlueHe glues the head onto his first Tyrannosaur model, and seven-year-old Billy beams, feeling like the king of the world.

032.DisasterMaybe flying to a forbidden, uncharted island with a couple he and Alan just met was, in fact, a bad idea.
