Our point-of-view character for this chapter is Dr. Bobbie Carter, who is shocked when a helicopter arrives through a horrible storm carrying a fatally wounded construction worker. She’s lied to about the injury, told that it’s a construction accident, when it’s clearly a mauling – and then the injured worker speaks: raptor before vomiting blood and spasming on the floor, to his death. Then the body and all evidence of the injury are whisked away by the InGen Construction Sikorsky, and they’re gone forever. The word raptor makes the not-usually-superstitious Costa Rican aides at the clinic extraordinarily superstitious, because it reminds them of the hupia, a vampiric spirit that kidnaps newborns. Carter looks up the word in the dictionary and see that it means: bird of prey.

Discussion surrounds how to read "Raptor," raptor bites, being sick v. being injured, the art of deception, half-baked ideas, power and safety, the Safety Dance, and Building a Mystery.
