Alan Grant had been so caught up in Chance Silvey's nightmares that he'd left the door open to his own. Gasping for breath, he thrashed against an invisible monster before realizing that he was fighting against his own blankets. There was nothing else in the room with him

He walked up to the latter, Grant, and sniffed the air around him with his long anteater nose. "Dinosaurs, eh?" he muttered seemingly to himself, before actually addressing him directly. "You look like someone forgot to wish you sweet dreams before bed, Ringo."

So maybe he might be excused for taking a few seconds longer than usual to come up with a reply. "Pretty much," he said. Snappy response to the anteater.

"Hej, Antubis," said Hook to the anteater, grinning. "What, he gets called Ringo? Not Wesley? I'm jealous."

He flashed Hook a smile that could only be described as menacing. "I know you're a Герой, Hook. I don't know about this one. His time smells seriously racked up."

"My name isn't any more Wesley than yours is Ringo," he told Grant with a small shrug. "I'm Jørgen Krøgshøj, formerly a neurologist at the Kingdom Hospital in Copenhagen.

The Chamber of Secrets meant nothing to him. Now, if Antubis had said the Out-of-Order Girl's Bathroom of Trilobite Secrets, that would have been different.

To Antubis he answered: "Yeah. The old Kingdom did have its ways of making its disquiet known. Cracks in the floor, unearthly voices in the elevator shafts, power outages, earth tremors ... I've never heard of a Chamber of Secrets though. Sounds like something the Lodge back home would have named the laundry room."
