"Sir, I just don't know about this." Grant had said for the third time. He was looking at his watch and realized that he needed to go if he was going to make it to his class on time. But this guy would not let up. He didn't even know his name, and yet he kept insisting on behalf of Dr. Wu that Grant needed to come see them about this Project Icarus.

"Dr. Grant, we really need your help. Please consider my offer." The voice said again.

"I will, alright, but right now I need to go, or else I will be late for my class. Now goodbye." Grant said. And he hung up before he could get another answer.

This is ridiculous, Grant thought as he started walking towards his car. That man was very persistent. He wasn't giving him a choice in the matter. And he had no idea what this Project Icarus was. He wouldn't even tell him. He had to let Tim and Lex know.

This couldn't have been good at all. But why was Henry Wu involved? All of this bothered him on his thirty minute commute to his classroom. When he arrived, his students were sitting patiently, waiting for him to come in.

"Sorry I'm late class, I had an important phone call, and I couldn't get away from it. Now everyone open your books to page 394, and we'll get started." Grant said. They were beginning a chapter on how to properly remove a fossil without destroying the samples.

Grant was still very distracted. He couldn't stop thinking about that call. All he could think about was what on earth InGen could be planning, or at least, he had assumed it was InGen. That was the company that Hammond had created and Dr. Wu worked for. He couldn't have been with another company. Could he?

"Dr. Grant?" One of his students asked. "Are you all right?" They must've noticed that he was distracted.

"Yes, yes, er-Sarah was it? Yes I'm fine. Thank you." Grant replied. He had to get his mind off of the phone call. The class was what's important now.

"So as you can see in your text, you never want to forcibly remove the fossil, no matter how stuck it is. This work requires patience, and therefore you will need to take your time and use your tools carefully. Remember, in this field, quickest isn't the answer. Yes, Thomas?"

"Sir, I know you told us never to ask you about this, but a lot of us wondered, what happened in Jurassic World?" Thomas asked.

Grant looked around at the eager eyes from everyone in his classroom. It was a harmless question. But one he never enjoyed answering. "Thomas, I don't know that that is something I'm comfortable talking about just yet. The dinosaurs that are there have changed our views and understandings of what we once thought of them, and so I may speak about the differences between the live animal and the dead ones. But I can not-" the bell rang before Grant could finish. "Children we will finish this tomorrow. Have a good night and be safe. For those of you coming with me today to see the dig site, I will will meet you there around 3pm." Grant said.

Grant dodged a bullet there. He hated talking about his experiences with Jurassic World or Jurassic Park. The things he's seen, it isn't like it is in the movies. This was real life, and people died. Talking about the animals is one thing, but discussing the entire incident, it was disrespectful in his eyes.

It was almost lunchtime and he was supposed to meet with Ellie. He hurried over to the sports bar before traffic could get any worse. When he got there, he noticed she wasn't there just yet. But that was ok, he thought. She was always running a little late.

He decided to save a table for her and ordered his drink as well. Since he had a bit of time he thought it would be best to give Tim and Lex a call about what had happened earlier. He dialed Tim's phone first, but there was no answer. Then he tried Lex, and still no answer. They must be busy, he thought. He didn't pay much attention to it.

"Alan!" Someone shouted.

Grant turned around to see it was Ellie. "Ellie, how are you?" He said.

"As good as I'll ever be. Some of the interns are driving me nuts though." Ellie said.

"Really now?" Grant said sarcastically. "All those years of you giving me hell seem to be coming back to bite you." Grant chuckled.

"Oh hush now old man. You deserved it." Ellie laughed. Her voice got low and quiet after that. "Alan, how has everything been since the last incident." She asked.

"Ellie, you know I don-"

"Alan, I think I'm being watched." Ellie interrupted.

Grant was startled at this. "Watched, by who? Why?"

"I don't know. I got this, this call the other day. They had asked me for advice on this project. I don't remember what it's called. Project Ica-"

"Project Icarus?" Grant said worried.

"Yes! That's it. Oh no. They've called you too?" Ellie asked frightened.

"Yes of course. I thought it was a bit off. But I wanted to tell Tim and Lex about it. I just tried calling them a few minutes ago, but there was no answer." Grant said.

"Something's wrong, Alan. I've been trying to get ahold of them all day but all I got was voicemail. It's unusual for Tim to go this long without at least sending me a message back to let me know he got my call. What if they're in trouble?" Ellie was getting worried now.

"I'm sure they're fine. I just saw them yesterday as a matter of fact. They're probably really busy with the park and everything that happened right now. Give them some time." Grant said assuringly. But Ellie wasn't so sure. She was upset and knowing her, she wouldn't get over it anytime soon.

They had been there about an hour or two before Grant had to leave for the dig site. He said goodbye to Ellie and gave her a little hug before leaving. "They're ok, I promise." Grant called out before he left.

He made sure Ellie was safely in her car before he drove out. But he wondered as he drove if maybe she was right about all this? Maybe Tim and Lex were in trouble, and he had no idea. But that would be impossible. He had only just saw them yesterday. Tim was much more worried about the Indominus Rex to care about anything else. Though Lex, on the other hand. She didn't look as concerned. In fact, now that he remembered it, she seemed uninterested in the entire ordeal, as if something else was on her mind. He thought he'd better try them again. Just to make sure. But what happened next, was too fast for him to understand.

A man slowly rose out from behind his seat. His face was covered, and he was draped all in black. He moved so quickly that Grant had no time to react. In a second he had his head pressed against his headrest and couldn't move. The steering wheel slipped out of his hands and his car drifted off towards the sidewalk. People were running, screaming at the oncoming car. The next thing he saw was pitch blackness.
