A/N: Short Chapter...forgive me my turtles :(

Awkward Liplocking

Styler watched Ortiz as he paced back and forth in the room, slowly building up rage inside of him.

"Tell me something Roberto?" he began, "Why don't people ever learn to mind their own damned business?"

"I don't know Gabe. But, honestly, don't you think you should've expected this to happen at some point?" Styler asked.

Ortiz shot his assistant an irritated glare before answering, "Obviously, I expected something like this to happen, but why them?"

"I understand that you like them Gabe, but, you being a notorious man, you're going to have do what you think is necessary so that they don't find out."

"I hate it when you're right Roberto."

"I know you do."

"What do you suggest I do?"

"Well, think about what's happening Gabe. Claire, Owen and Lowery found the drop off bag that Zara was carrying around, but we don't know if what was inside was for us, or for someone else. From what they said, it was a bunch on files on the DNA makeup of the dinosaurs on the island, so that means that you have nothing to worry about."

"Be that as it may, I want to know who on Earth Zara was going to give that bag to."

"Why does it matter? As long as she wasn't trying to do something that would sell you out, you're fine."

Ortiz turned to look at his assistant and then stepped up in front of him until their faces were inches apart and said, "Roberto, are you even listening to me right now?"

"Yeah I am, but are you listening to me?" asked the assistant.

Ortiz smiled lightly before giving a small chuckle and saying to Styler, "You're lucky that you're my favorite assistant, or I probably would've killed you years ago."

Styler rolled his eyes before saying, "Gabe, you and I both know why I'm your favorite assistant and why you haven't killed me...yet."

"Let's focus on the matter at hand, shall we?"

"What do you want to do?"

"We need to retrieve that bag."

"Gabe, I don't understand why that bag is so important. All it has is files of dinosaurs on it. It has nothing to do with drugs, or anything else in your realm of expertise."

"Roberto, me cago en la madre contigo algunas veces sabes?"

"English Gabe."

"If this bag tarnishes my reputation as a drug lord, then I will truly kill you."

"I hear you loud and clear, but then..."

"Don't even try it again Roberto. I've already fallen for a few of your persuasions. I will not fall for it again."

"Eh, it was worth a try, right?"

"So, will you help me get the bag?"

"Fine."

"Finally."

"We'll get it when they go and check out the old Visitor Center."

"You know, I'm curious to know what's at the old Visitor Center."

"So, you want to go check it out now?"

"What time is it?"

"Gabe, you don't have anything scheduled for today."

"In that case, let's get going."

"Great. I'll grab the flashlights and we'll go and check it out as soon as possible."

Styler got up from his chair and grabbed a couple of flashlights and the two left for the old Visitor Center as fast as they could.

"So, have you heard from your sister recently?" Claire asked Owen as she took a sip of her chamomile tea.

"She called me a few hours ago and told me that Ian didn't take the news very well," he replied as he took a sip of Coke from the bottle in his hand.

"That's not good. So, how do you plan on handling him?"

"I'm just going to have to help him get settled down here. And hopefully, with the help of Ryan, we can help him settle down and be more open to the fact of living here."

"You really think he'll listen to you?"

"Have you ever met my nephew?"

"No, why?"

"Ian is the only nephew I have, and the only child of any of the Grady children. Ryan and I love that kid to death, even if he is eighteen right now and he looks up to Ryan and I, but I always wonder who he looks up to more, me or Ryan?"

"Probably Ryan."

Owen rolled his eyes at Claire's response before saying, "Just wait 'til you meet him."

Claire smiled at Owen before saying, "Maybe, if Ian would be open to it, he could be a part of the medical team here."

"Like, the vets?"

"No. We actually have doctors and nurses here in case people suffer injuries, or other emergencies."

"Oh, okay. He might, but it'll take a lot of convincing."

"Nothing his two uncles couldn't try talking to him about, right?"

"You have a point Claire."

"Did your sister say when she was coming?"

"Yeah, she did actually."

"When?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"You ready to see them?"

"I hope I am."

"Let's hope nothing crazy happens."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, with a bunch of Gradys coming to the island, God knows what craziness is going to happen while they're here."

Owen rolled his eyes and then said, "Well, let's hope your ready for the great stress that's going to fall upon your shoulders."

Claire didn't say anything, because she knew that Owen was right.

"So, want me to walk you home?" Owen asked Claire.

"Yeah, that would be nice," she replied.

Owen then walked Claire home.

Styler and Ortiz arrived at the old Visitor Center. Styler found the place extremely creepy, especially at night. The old Visitor Center was something right out of a horror movie. It was run down, covered in foliage, and a simple poke of a finger could bring it crashing down. Why would this place hold any secrets whatsoever?

"Gabe, can we make this as quick as possible, please?" Styler asked.

"We can and we will. This place gives me the creeps, too," replied Ortiz.

Ortiz and Styler then entered the old Visitor Center and began to look around for anything suspicious.

Alice was walking back to her nest as she walked through the forest. Alice looked up at the night sky, and admired the small twinkling lights and the big round light in the sky that gave the world a nice glow.

"The twinkling lights are stars," said Lowery over the speakers, "and the big round light is the moon."

Alice gave a thankful croon to Lowery for telling her what the lights in the sky were. Alice liked how Lowery would take the time to keep her company when she was alone in her paddock. She was grateful that he would drop by often times and hang around with Alice. Lowery had to be Alice's favorite human, but not because of the trust that wasn't there, yet of course, but it was because Lowery would always keep her company and the fact that Lowery was a funny human. Alice was starting to learn how to trust humans, and other dinosaurs. She had a want inside of her that was to lay her life on the line to save another life. Alice still didn't fully trust any humans, but she was secure in the bond of friendships that she had with each of them. Owen taught Alice that just because someone might seem nice most of the time, doesn't mean they're trustworthy, making her think twice about the man they called Ortiz. His smile was nice, but his presence was dark. His body heat was unnerving, and his scent was a sour one. Alice didn't like Ortiz at all, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't be nice around him. Alice then thought back about who she was starting to trust and her bonds with them. So far, the only beings that she trusted were Blue One and her sisters. She was still growing fonder of Felix and Silas, and hoped that in the future they would become a kind of family. There weren't many humans Alice trusted, then again, she didn't trust any human for now. She didn't know many humans, but the ones that she liked were Owen, Lowery, Zach, Gray, Jordan, and even Red One. Alice hoped that there would be scenarios in which the end result would be that Alice would fully trust the human, or humans. Alice then thought back to the nightmare that she had about eating her sister, and Owen stepping into the paddock to comfort her and calm her down. Alice told herself that she wasn't going to let a nightmare bring her to fully trust Owen. She wanted life threatening situations to make her trust them, or at least a deep, heartfelt moment when Alice felt really down, which hasn't happened...yet of course.

"Well, good night Alice," said Lowery, "don't let the, uh, bugs bite."

Alice let out a chitter at the man on the speakers and then finally arrived at her nest. Alice then lied down and curled her body and then fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Owen and Claire arrived at Claire's room, which was located in a small building complex that most of the Jurassic World staff lived in. Owen was the only one who didn't live in the building, and Claire began to wonder why, but then decided to let bygones be bygones on that one. The couple were standing in front of her door and then looked at each other.

"So, here we are," said Owen.

"Yeah," said Claire.

A very awkward silence fell upon them, and they didn't speak for a good minute, until Claire said, "Well, uh, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you Claire."

Claire couldn't help what happened next. What she did made her want the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Claire inched forward and then soft cherry red lips met rough salmon pink ones. But, it wasn't exactly a kiss of passion. It was, well, an awkward one. For starters, the kiss startled Owen a little, and he didn't know whether to kiss her back or stop. Second, Claire wasn't the best kisser. She didn't kiss many guys, and she didn't have much practice, so Owen felt like she was trying to suck his lips off. Claire then separated their lips before turning a very tomato red and then said to Owen, "I-I'm sorry. It's just, we've been dating for a month now, and, I just felt like it was kind of appropriate."

"Right," said Owen.

"So, uh, good night."

"Claire wait."

"What?"

Owen took a deep breath, and then put his hands on the back of Claire's head and then kissed her again. This time, the kiss was better. It was more passionate, vigorous, and enticing. Claire then put her arms around Owen's neck as the kiss intensified. After, a minute, Claire and Owen separated and looked at each other again.

"Good night Claire," said Owen with a smirk.

"Y-Yeah. Good night Owen," she said with a flushed face as she fiddled for her room key and then quickly stepped inside.

Owen looked at the door for a few seconds and then left to his bungalow, with a smile on his face.

Ortiz and Styler looked around the old Visitor Center for an hour and a half and couldn't find anything, until they found the old lab room where Dr. Grant watched a velociraptor hatch for the first time. Ortiz was surprised to see that, the lab was still on.

"Someone's been here recently," he said to Styler.

"Yeah, but who?" Styler asked.

"We'll find out soon enough Roberto."

Styler looked around a bit more until he saw something. And that something, was something that would change things around, forever.

"Gabe, you should come see this," said the assistant.

Ortiz walked over to Styler and then dropped his flashlight when he saw what Styler was talking about.

"Oh my God..."

A/N: Turtles! I know that this chapter was short, but it was mostly filler. I apologize for the fact that this chapter was everywhere. I jumped from one thing to the next without proper transition. I know, a few more questions arose because of this, but they'll be answered soon I promise you! I'll just let the cliffhanger eat at you guys until I reveal what Styler and Ortiz saw, which won't be until a few more chapters. So, yeah, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope that you stick around for more! Review, if you want to, and remember to stay tuned for more!
