"Thats it girl! Just a little further" i stood a few feet away from Rexy as she tries to reach the rat I'm holding. As she got closer i moved a little further back. I was about to let her have the rat when a voice broke out over the intercom.
"Dr. Grant. We need to talk." not expecting any interruptions i had looked towards the observation deck and wasn't paying attention to Rexy. "I'll be up in a mi…. Son of a bitch!" i looked towards my hand to see it in Rexy's mouth along with the rat.
"Rexy baby open your mouth." she just continued to try to chew the rat and unfortunately my hand. "Rexy! Open Now!" she attempted to roar at me. I took this opportunity to bring my hand to my chest. "Fuck."
I quickly left the paddock and went to my office. I grabbed the first aid kit and started disinfecting my hand and wrapping it up. I was attempting to wrap my hand when Miss. Dearing and a man walked into my office. I glared at her hard while the guy walked over to my inspecting my hand. I'm not gonna lie this man was attractive. He had that feel about him. The sense of confidence, morals, and survival. Wherever he came from he knows how to take care of himself. He knows where he stands. His eyes falter between ocean blue and forest green. Light brown hair and stubble to match. There is more to this man than he lets on.
"I'm gonna fix this up for you." he started grabbing things out of the first aid kit to fix my hand up. "Claire you better have a good reason to interrupt my training." i barked at her. "You can't possibly call that training." i rolled my eyes.
me and Claire have never liked each other. i personally believe that she feels threatened by me. she claims its because i never take my job seriously and treat Rexy like a dog. i think its because of where i come from, what i experienced. we try to be civil but that lasts a solid 5 minutes if that.
"Whether it is training or not. When a trainer is in the paddock with there animals you do not cause distractions. Not only did you just endanger my life. But the life of my animal as well." this time it was her turn to roll her eyes.
"You are being ridiculous Dr. Grant." the man who had been attending to my hand spoke up for the second time. "Actually Dr. Grant is correct. Especially when dealing with territorial predators. And considering that T-Rex were also scavengers they will not pass up an easy meal. If her Rex had been any bigger she would not have a hand."
I looked at the guy and smirked. "OK you i like." i held out my good hand. "Alanna Grant. Rexy's mother." the guy shook my hand and smiled. "Glad I'm liked. Owen Grady. Future Raptor alpha." i raised an eyebrow. "Nice to meet you raptor boy." Claire had cleared her throat to gain our attention.
We both looked at her with boredom. "If you both are finished. We have business to attend to."
"All done." Owen had stood up and cleaned up his mess. "Thanks. Now what business is there to do Claire?" i stood up and started putting all my reports in the filing cabinet. "You are in charge of showing Mr. Grady around and get him associated with his assets."
"Again with the whole asset thing. They are dinosaurs Claire." Claire however wasn't listening she just looked at her phone. "Show him around. His housing unit is across from yours. Have a good day." she walked out of my office leaving me with Owen.
"I hope you don't mind chilling out here for a few minutes. I got a few things to finish up here then we can head out." Owen shook his head. "I'm in no rush Dr. Grant." i put my hand up. "Its just Alanna. Dr. Grant is my father." he nodded understanding. "What do you have to finish? Maybe i can help."
"Just gotta do a few more exercises then we're good to go." his eyes got a little big. "Do you think that's a good idea with you being injured?" i chuckled. "Nah. its not the first time this has happened. Me and Claire have had this conversation many times." Owen smiled. "Why am i not surprised?"
"You stick around long enough Grady you'll see worse between us." we started walking towards the paddock door. "Won't she fire you for it one day?" i shook my head. "No. Mr. Masrani would never allow it. And no matter how my father feels about this island he would have her head." he looked at me confused.
"What do you mean by "how your father feels about the island?" i sighed. Its difficult to talk about this. Mainly because most people don't believe me when i talk about the incident. Even though Jurassic World is popular.
"Back when John Hammond made the first park. He had invited my father and a few others to endorse the park. Me being about… 6 at the time begged my dad to let me come. It took a few puppy dog eyes and an "I'll love you forever" and he caved. We weren't even their a full day when everything went downhill. The power was cut and everything was loose. Long story short. I was attacked by a T-Rex and a pack of raptors."
I noticed Owen wasn't walking by me anymore. I stopped and looked at him. "What?" "you were attacked by two of the most dangerous carnivores of their time and now you are here working with one?" i shrugged. "I gained respect for them. I'm not saying that i didn't have nightmares or lasting effects."
"I don't know whether i should be amazed or scared shitless of you."
A/N i own nothing from Jurassic World.
