Missing a Minor Detail
Alice couldn't be more happy. She had been reunited with Blue One and the others and they had a blast playing with each other. Owen decided to let Alice stay in the paddock over night, and then took her back early in the morning, before the park opened for the day. Over the next few days, Alice enjoyed her shows more and more as the time went by. It seemed like when another show started, Alice would get even more excited. It was now Friday, and Claire and Owen asked Lowery to find out who Alice wanted to visit next.
Lowery was sitting on the soft brown soil as he laid out a dozen of pictures that showed the different dinosaurs on the island. He wanted Alice to pick one so that they could plan a visit for her. Lowery and Alice had actually been growing their bond with each passing day. Lowery would talk to Alice over the speakers, and sometimes he would go to her paddock and talk to her in person. Lowery liked Alice. She was fun to talk to and fun to teach new things. He liked Alice because she was a prankster. Alice loved pulling pranks on Owen and Red One. Alice was growing very fond of Lowery as well. He was actually not a boring human anymore. Now, he was nice and funny. Alice liked that he would keep her company between shows and then would visit her to show her pictures of the other dinosaurs on the island. Alice wanted to meet all of them. Most of them seemed very cool and interesting, but there were a few that she wanted to meet right away out of curiosity. There was Rexy, one that everyone on the island seemed to have a very fond respect and fear of. But, Alice wanted to meet Lime Eyes and the other with it out of all the dinosaurs on the island. Lime Eyes peaked her curiosity, and she needed to know why by asking them, because maybe they might have an answer for it.
"Hey, Alice," said Lowery as he snapped his fingers.
Alice snapped from her thoughts as she focused on the snapping sound and then looked straight at the man in front of her.
"So, who do you want to meet first, or well, second I mean?"
Alice looked at all of the pictures on the ground and scanned them to see if Lime Eyes was in one of the pictures. Then, she found it and then stuck out her middle talon and hovered it over the picture of Lime Eyes.
"You want to meet the Baryonyx first?"
Alice nodded her head at Lowery's question and then saw a picture of the other with Lime Eyes and pointed at it.
"The Suchomimus? You want to meet both of them?"
Again, Alice nodded her head.
"Okay, cool. I'll tell Owen and Claire as soon as they come back. You know, I here that they keep the Baryonyx and Suchomimus in the same paddock, because they are the tamest dinosaurs on the island. So, I guess that would help us kill two birds with one stone, right?"
What was this human talking about? Why would he want to kill birds? And with a stone? Alice began to ponder over Lowery's words.
"Oh, Alice, no, it's just an expression."
Alice tilted her head at his words. What was an expression?
"It's just a phrase."
What on Earth was a phrase?
"I'll tell you about that stuff later. Right now, I'm going to tell Owen and Claire that you want to see the Baryonyx and Suchomimus first. Which dinosaur do you want to see after them?"
Alice looked down at the photos and saw a forest green scaled dinosaur and pointed at it.
"You want to see Rexy?"
Alice nodded her head. So that's what Rexy looked like? She didn't seem like how everyone described her. Lowery picked up the rest of the pictures and then walked over to the door. He waved goodbye as the door opened and he stepped out of the paddock. Alice saw the man step into the viewing room and then pull out a phone from his pocket.
Owen and Claire were taking a walk through the Restricted Area of the park because Claire needed to take a small break from all the craziness that she's been having to deal with over these past few days. Last time Claire was in the Restricted Area was when she was chasing down Alice and when she was being chased by Delta and Echo. She never realized the beautiful scenery last time she was around the Area. She now could take time to admire the peaceful scenery. The lush green of the leaves of the trees, bushes and vines. The sounds of birds chirping echoing throughout the forest, or jungle, and bugs, like crickets, chirping away. Owen and Claire were walking alongside the river, the one that had the Cretaceous Cruise, and the one where Alice attacked ACU.
"Feeling a bit better?" Owen asked Claire.
"A little, yeah. Thanks for bringing me out here," said Claire as she turned her head to look at the flowing water.
"No problem."
"What do you think Lowery and Alice are doing right now?"
"Probably planning more pranks."
"How is it that those two can come up with more pranks? Especially a six year old hybrid dinosaur? And, not to mention that Alice is in a paddock."
"Yeah, but remember, the pranks that don't require Alice scaring the living hell out of us doesn't limit her spirit to prank us."
"That is true."
Claire turned her attention to the ground ahead of her, but didn't see what was in front of her feet, and fell to the floor, face first. Owen immediately picked Claire up and asked her if she was okay.
"Yeah, I'm fine. What was that?" she asked as she began to dust herself off.
Her and Owen turned to look at what it was that tripped up Claire and they saw a bag. Claire got down and picked up the bag and then began to inspect it.
"What do you think is in it?" asked Owen.
"I don't know," replied Claire as she then proceeded to open the bag.
She stuck her hand inside of the bag and began to rummage through it. What was this bag doing in the middle of nowhere? Claire felt lots of sheets of paper and then grabbed a sheet and pulled one out. The paper was filled with strange equations and some sketches of some strange creature. The sketch looked roughly like...Alice.
"What is this?" asked Claire.
"Looks like blueprints on making...Alice," replied Owen.
"Why would somebody carry a bag filled with Indominus blueprints?"
"Check the rest of the bag."
Claire arched an eyebrow at Owen and then grabbed a few more papers from the bag and saw that it wasn't just Indominus creation sheets, but every dinosaur in Jurassic World. Claire and Owen were extremely confused at what they were looking at.
"Why would somebody carry around a bag filled with information like this?" Claire asked as she began to put the papers back, but kept the Indominus sheet out.
"I don't know," replied Owen.
Claire began to ponder on why this bag was out here and why someone would leave a bag with its contents in the middle of a jungle. Owen and Claire began to walk towards the park and continued to think.
"What if," began Owen, "someone was going to try and sell this stuff to someone else?"
"Kind of like, how Denis Nedry did with John Hammond and the first park?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, kind of. The only thing is, they wouldn't be giving away embryos."
Owen's words made sense. What if someone was trying to sell the information to a buyer?
"If your theory is right, then the question at hand would be...who?"
"This is what we can do. We'll get back to the park, you go to Control and tell Lowery what we found. Then, work with him on finding out why this bag was out here and who was carrying it. Then, if you find a lead, we can work off of that."
"Say, this reminds me of something."
"What?"
"You know how Wu left with embryos during the Incident?"
"Yeah."
"Two things: What if some one was trying to betray Wu by selling his work, and what if he had another Indominus embryo?"
"Another Indominus embryo?"
"Yeah, think about it. We originally had two in the first place, in case one of them died during their younger years, but then Alice at her sister. I'm pretty sure, that if both died, Wu would've had a few more ready. So, what if there is another Indominus embryo out there?"
"Then, we try finding it and maybe bring it here."
"I knew you were smart, Owen."
Owen rolled his eyes at the red head and the two continued onto the park. Claire's phone went off and she saw that it was Lowery and picked up.
"What is it Lowery?" Claire asked.
"Alice wants to meet the Baryonyx and Suchomimus first, and after them, she wants to meet Rexy, which that could possibly result in a clash of titans and the end of the park, and possibly the world," replied Lowery.
"Don't over exaggerate Lowery. Anyway, that sounds great. I'll tell Owen and we'll see what we can do from there. Thanks Lowery."
"Right. Later, Claire."
Claire hung up and then put the phone back in her pocket and told Owen what Lowery had told her.
"So, are we going to go and talk to the caretakers?" asked Owen.
"Actually, caretaker. There's only one caretaker for the Baryonyx and Suchomimus."
"Really? Why?"
"Well, because they have to be the most tame dinosaurs on this island. They wouldn't even hurt a fly."
Owen arched an eyebrow at the defiant assumption.
"The most tame dinosaurs on the island? There is no way that any of the dinosaurs on this island can be fully tamed."
"Well, give it a few more weeks, and Alice will basically be fully tamed, too."
"That, is a fair point."
"Okay, so, here's what we'll do. We'll go and talk to the caretaker after Alice's last show today and see what they think about having their dinosaurs meet Alice."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Good. Now, let's get going. You have a show in a few minutes."
Today seemed to go by quickly. Alice's last show came by fast and then it was over, and now it was time for Owen and Claire to talk with the Baryonyx and Suchomimus caretaker. Claire and Lowery didn't find anything on the bag and the carrier. Lowery decided to see Alice again today and hang out with her for a little while, especially with Owen being somewhere else right now. Lowery was sitting off of the ledge of the opened window and watched as Alice walked around in the brush. Lowery gave a small smile as he watched the hybrid shuffle around. Then, Alice walked out of the brush and gave a gentle croon at Lowery.
"Hey Alice, what's up?" he asked her.
Alice gave a warm hearted chirp, telling Lowery that she as fine.
"Well, that's good, I guess."
Alice was surprised, Lowery seemed to be the one who understood her the most, or maybe he just conveniently knew what to say after Alice spoke to him.
"So, you excited to meet the Baryonyx and Suchomimus?"
Alice nodded her head and let out a happy warble.
"That excited, huh? Man, you're like a little kid that's super excited to meet their favorite super hero or something."
This must have been another expression of Lowery's. But, he was right in a sense, too. Alice was like a hatchling that was excited to meet their favorite super hero, or something.
"Well, let's just hope they're excited to meet you."
Owen and Claire arrived at the Barynoyx and Suchomimus paddock and met with the caretaker out front. The caretaker was a Caucasian man, standing at six feet and four inches. The man has short, dirty blonde hair, aqua blue eyes, a defined jaw, big arms, a big chest, and two tattoos, one on each arm. The tattoo on his left arm was the head of Rexy, and the other was the head of a spinosaurus, resembling a conflict between the two dinosaur. The man was wearing a plain white t shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots.
"Mr. Wells, how are you?" Claire asked him as she extended her hand out.
"Claire, I've told you before," said Wells in a relaxed, rough voice, "call me Jordan."
"Right, Jordan."
"You must be Owen Grady, right?"
"That's right," replied Owen as he shook Jordan's hand.
"Jordan Wells, I'm the Baryonyx and Suchomimus caretaker. It's really nice to finally meet you in person, Grady."
"Yeah, I get that a lot."
Wells let out a small chuckle and then led Claire and Owen up to the railing of the paddock. Claire and Owen looked around over the paddock and saw that it was very small. There were trees scattered about and small ponds and puddles, which contained fish for the dinosaurs to eat.
"Why's the paddock so small?" asked Owen.
"Well, since these two mostly go out and live near the river, we figured that they wouldn't need a big paddock, since the whole river is basically their paddock," replied Wells.
"Makes sense."
"So, where are they?" asked Claire.
"Well, they should be getting here any moment now."
Then, Claire and Owen heard a screech coming from outside the paddock and turned their attention to the big doors leading to the river. Then, a navy blue colored dinosaur with yellow stripes and underbelly stepped into the paddock.
"That's the Suchomimus," said Wells.
A few seconds later, a yellow and brown colored dinosaur with lime green markings around its eyes stepped into the paddock.
"And that's the Baryonyx."
"So, what are their names?" asked Claire.
"Well, before we move onto names, there a little something that you two should know."
"What is it?"
"Let's just say that the scientists in the labs missed a minor detail when creating these two."
"What?"
"The Baryonyx and Suchomimus are...boys."
"What?!"
"The scientists in the lab must have forgotten to deny them the gene that makes them girls, so they became guys. Believe me, it came as a shock when they hatched and told me that they were guys. I had girl names prepared for them, but then, I had to change it to guys names. I couldn't think of anything on the spot, so I gave them nicknames until I gave them names."
Owen thought about the many nicknames and then smiled before saying, "Oh please tell me that the Baryonyx's nickname was Bary."
"What?"
"Bary the Baryonyx? It's classic!"
"...His name was Bary-"
"Yes! Ah, my day is made."
"And then Suchomimus was Sucho, wasn't it?" asked Claire as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Look, it was a sudden thing, okay?"
Claire and Owen smiled at each other and held in their laughs.
"So, what are their names now?"
"The Suchomimus' name is Silas. And the Baryonyx's name is Felix."
"Those names are nice."
"Aren't they? One of the workers down at the petting zoo gave me the names when I told them what happened."
"Well, moving on, I hear that these two are the most tame dinosaurs on this island."
"I wouldn't go that far."
"Why?"
"They're just very respective and kind. They don't hurt humans, unless they feel threatened, or if they're being attacked. They don't attack any guests that pass by them, and all the interns here always seem to want to work with me, but I haven't found anyone that I'd like to work with me here."
"Would they attack any dinosaurs if they encountered any?"
"Well, they don't attack any of the herbivores along the river. Hell, they don't even hurt the goats that we set loose in the paddock for them to eat. All they eat if fish."
"So, Jordan, do you think that it would be all right if, Alice were to meet them?"
"The Indominus? Uh, I don't know guys. I know that she's become a nice dinosaur, but, I still have some doubts."
"We understand, Wells. But, Alice really wants to meet these two."
"I-I, it's too hard to make a decision right now."
"Well, what if you met Alice first?"
"There's an idea."
"Hm...it does sound like something that would help."
"Please Wells?"
"Okay, fine. I'll meet Alice."
"Great!"
"So, am I going to meet her now or later?"
"You want to get it out of the way as soon as possible?"
"Yeah."
"Then, let's go now."
"Lead the way Miss Dearing."
"Alice! Put me down!" yelled Lowery as he was being held inside of the Indominus' hand.
Alice was having fun with Lowery and held him in his hand as she began to run through out the paddock, nearly hitting trees, which would make Lowery yelp with every turn she made.
"Alice! This is not funny!"
If Alice could laugh, she would be dying right now. It was fun to mess with Lowery, especially when he would freak out. It was utterly hilarious.
"Alice, please! For God's sake! Put me down!"
Alice decided that she had enough fun with Lowery and placed him down on the ground. He got up and then ran over to a bush and threw up. Alice snorted at Lowery for being such a wimp. Alice then turned her head to the viewing room and saw Owen, Red One, and a man step into the room and up to the viewing glass. Alice gave a delighted croon at seeing Owen and Red One.
"This is Alice, Jordan," said Owen.
Jordan admired the snow scaled dinosaur as she stepped closer to the glass.
"She's...amazing," said Wells as he placed a hand on the glass.
Claire looked at Alice and said, "Alice, sweetie, this is Jordan Wells. He's the caretaker of the Barynoyx and Suchomimus."
So, this was Lime Eyes and the other with it's caretaker! Alice let out a warm chitter at the man, making him smile in return. The man's smile was strong, and relaxed. The man also had nice blue eyes that seemed to make his smile glow more.
"I think she likes you," said Owen.
"Really?"
"Well, we know that since Alice wants to meet Felix and Silas, then she'd be happy to meet their caretaker. And, smiles mean a lot to Alice. She can tell what kind of person someone is by their smile. That's how she chooses who she likes."
"So, I have a nice smile then?"
"It seems that way."
"You should say something to her," said Claire.
"Why?"
"Just, so that you can at least have something to help form a small bond with her."
"You're right."
"I know I am."
Owen rolled his eyes at Claire's words and waited for Wells to speak.
"Hey Alice, I'm Jordan. I take care of the Baryonyx and Suchomimus here in Jurassic World."
Alice let out a soft croon at the man and then opened the window and stuck her head in, making the three humans in the room step back. Alice then began to sniff Wells, trying to see if she could pick up the scent of Lime Eyes or the other with it. To her misfortune however, she couldn't pick up anything.
"What just happened?" asked Jordan.
"Maybe she was trying to pick up Felix and Silas' scents off of you," said Owen.
"Oh, well, I do tend to wash up after treating them. So, I don't think she'll be able to get their scent from me at all."
"So? What do you think?"
"Hm...sure, why not?"
"Great! You hear that sweetie? You're going to meet the Baryonyx and Suchomimus!" said Claire as she patted Alice's snout.
Alice let out an excited croon and then nudged Jordan, making him chuckle.
"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anyone super excited to see Felix and Silas."
"Well, there's always a first for everything, right?"
"That is true. So, when do you want her to see my boys?"
"How does tomorrow afternoon sound?"
"Sounds like a plan."
"Good. See you then Jordan."
Jordan waved goodbye to Alice and the others as he stepped out of the room and went back to his paddock. Alice pulled her head out of the viewing room and turned around to find Lowery, who had finished puking and was walking toward the door. Alice smiled at seeing Lowery walk ever so slowly to the door. The door opened and Lowery went up into the viewing room. Owen and Claire turned their attention to when Lowery stepped into the room and made disgusted faces at catching the scent of barf on him.
"Oh my God, Lowery, you smell terrible!" said Claire as she pinched her nose shut.
"I'm sorry, but Alice decided to have a little fun with me and hold me in her hand while running around in her paddock, intentionally getting too close to crashing into trees, before sharply turning in a different direction," he said.
Claire and Owen then laughed at the man's words. They loved it when Alice played small jokes with Lowery, too. It's always funny when it happens to other people. Now, all that was left was to prank Alice, but Owen and Claire feared that they would lose their trust from Alice if they pulled any prank on her.
As Claire, Lowery, and Owen were going to leave the viewing room, they were stopped by a voice yelling out Claire's name.
"Aunt Claire!" yelled a childish voice from behind.
Claire turned around to see Gray running towards her and nearly knocked her off her feet into a hug. Claire didn't know what was going on, but then got the picture when she saw Zach and the boys' parents walking towards them. The Mitchell-Dearing family was back.
