Mission Indominus

Alice had finally admitted to herself that she trusted Lowery, and the human returned the affection and told her that he trusted her, too. Now, let's all hope that Owen is next on Alice's trust list. Alice had come a long way with learning how to put words together, even though she had been doing it for such a short amount of time. She still couldn't put together full sentences, but she could put together enough so that everyone could talk to her easily.

It was now Monday, and it's around noontime, and Claire, Owen, Ian, Alexis, and Ryan were on the search for Dom. The little Indominus got the chance to escape and run around the park when Ian went over to visit him. Alice was in a panic, and Lowery did his best to calm her down. They couldn't have her cause another rampage. So, here's how it all began...

(10:00 a.m.)

Alice watched the small Indominus as he cuddled closer to her as he slept. Alice loved watching Dom sleep. Seeing him peacefully breathe in and out and stir every now and then in his dreams was just adorable to watch. Dom began to stir from his sleep and was awake in seconds. Dom slowly lifted his head and then looked up at his big sister. Alice let out a soft croon at him and then gently nuzzled him. Dom chirped in delight from the loving greeting. Dom began to get up onto his feet, but decided to stay down until he had all his energy back into him. Alice decided to lick Dom's face, making the hatchling protest. Dom didn't like it when Alice did that. He didn't like being slobbered. He also didn't like getting baths, but Alice always found a way to give him one anyway.

Dom got up to his feet now and then looked around, only to see that Alice had curled around him during the night to comfort him in his sleep, which he loved. He walked over to her tail and then hopped over it and began to walk off into the brush, until Alice warbled at him, telling him to be careful. Dom responded with an affirming chirp and then ran off into the lush green vegetation and began to explore.

Dom loved exploring, and was always eager to sink his teeth into the first thing that intrigued him. Alice had told Dom that there was a much bigger world beyond the walls of the paddock, and Dom just wanted to go out and see the world. Alice told him that in a few years, he'd get the chance. She also told him that they'd go and see the ocean together. Alice still hadn't gotten the chance to see the ocean, but with Sorna's raptors arriving soon, then maybe Owen might give her the chance to tag along so that she could see the ocean.

Dom went over to the pond and saw a goat drinking from it. Dom then crouched down and camouflaged himself to blend in with the bushes around him. Dom loved tackling things, including his prey. Dom hadn't fully hunted and killed prey yet, but he knows that one day, Alice would let him try. Dom still had his baby daggers, but they could still do enough to injure someone, or something of course. But, they proved not effective when it came to killing something. The most he could do was sink his teeth in and hope that they would die from bleeding out.

The hatchling Indominus stepped closer with quiet steps and then, once he was close enough, he jumped out of the brush, and tackled the goat. Dom began to mash his teeth into every open part of the goat, from its neck, to it's legs. Soon after, Dom's snout was covered in blood, and the goat had died from blood loss. Dom let out a victory screech and then began to consume his fallen prey.

Alice stepped out of the brush and Dom didn't even heed his big sister approaching him. Alice's stomach turned a bit at seeing her sibling being so wild. It reminded her of when she went on her rampage. All the humans she ate, the dinosaurs she had murdered. It brought back memories that Alice would rather forget. Alice shook her head from the dark memories and then focused on the snacking hatchling. Alice would immediately give him a bath once he was done, protest or not, she didn't want him showing up at a show covered in blood.

Dom showed up every now and then during Alice's shows. Since Dom liked napping around noon, he wouldn't show up during her noon show. The first time he showed up, he stole Alice's thunder, which was expected by everyone, including Alice herself. The second time was during her last show when he got on her back and then let out war cries for a few minutes. Alice always tried swaying Dom away with telling him to hide began she was going to go and find him, and most of the time, it worked. Once her show concluded, she would quickly go throughout her paddock and find the hiding small Indominus.

Dom finished eating, for now that is, and was about to run off, until Alice quickly caught him by his tail and took I'm back to their nest. She set him down and curled around him and began to give him a bath. To Alice's surprise, Dom didn't protest this time, maybe because he didn't like being covered in blood, or so that Alice wouldn't be able to find him easily when playing 'Hide-and-Seek.' Dom gave a grateful croon at Alice for cleaning him up, and once she finished, he nuzzled her snout before dashing off into the brush once again.

Ian and Alexis came by to Alice's paddock to check on Dom and see how he was doing. Olivia was still getting dressed last time Alexis texted her, and Casey hadn't shown himself yet. Ian and Alexis entered the viewing room and walked up to the viewing glass. Since Ian was the one who imprinted on Dom, he was allowed to visit Alice's paddock, even when it wasn't during one of her shows.

Ian slid the window open and then called out, "Dom! Alice!"

The two stood in silence as they heard heavy footsteps approaching. After a few more seconds, Alice walked out of the brush and gave a happy croon at seeing Ian and his friend.

"Uh, Alice, this here is Alexis Pitcher, she's a friend of mine," Ian said with a smile.

"Hi Alice, I've heard a lot about you, in a good way of course," said Alexis.

Ian slowly put his hand in his face and let out a sigh.

"What?" Alexis asked with an arched eyebrow.

"'In a good way?' Why add that in there?" replied Ian.

"Well, I didn't want her to think that I heard about her because of the bad stuff she had done."

Alice let out an understanding chitter. It didn't bother her that most people had heard about her because of her rampage. It was understandable. But, she appreciated what Alexis tried doing.

"You see? Alice is grateful that I tried to sway the truth a little bit," said Alexis.

"Isn't that lying?" asked Ian.

"Anyway, how are you doing Alice?"

Alice let out a gentle croon, telling Alexis and Ian that she was fine.

"Well that's good," said Alexis with a smile.

"Say, where's Dom?" Ian asked.

Alice turned her head to look into the brush and then let out a bark, telling Dom that Ian was here.

In a matter of seconds, Dom ran up Alice's back and tackled Ian down to the floor. Dom began to nuzzle his human, making Ian laugh at the affectionate action. As Ian was getting nuzzled, Ryan came into the viewing room and greeted Alice.

"How's it going little lady?" he asked the Indominus.

Alice had finally understood what he meant when he said 'Little lady.' It was another expression that humans used. Alice loved learning new expressions that humans would say. Alice responded with a warm croon.

"Great! Ian, you need help?"

"No, I'm good."

After a few more seconds of nuzzling, Dom shot his crimson gaze at Ian's uncle, making Ryan take a small step back. Then, in a flash, Dom tackled down Ryan and began to sniff him.

"Can somebody get him off of me please?" Ryan asked.

"But, he's so adorable!" said Alexis as she pulled out her phone and took a picture.

"Come on Ryan, just enjoy the moment with the little guy," said Ian as he got up and rubbed his chest.

Dom always seemed to like standing on peoples' chest when he tackled them.

"All right Dom, I think Ryan's had enough," said Ian as he called Dom over.

But, before Dom could walk over to Ian, Owen opened the door to the viewing room, and then, it happened. Dom decided that he wanted to explore the world now. Dom jumped off of Ryan and ran as fast as he could past Owen, and, before anyone knew it, he was gone and out the door. Everyone's eyes, including Alice's eyes, widened and Owen looked out the door as Dom ran off.

"Uh oh," said Ian.

"Oh no," said Owen.

"You are so going to get fired Owen," said Ryan.

Everyone turned their attention to Ryan and then Ian said, "We need to get him back here, now!"

"Shouldn't we tell Control that Dom escaped?" asked Alexis.

"Claire's not going to be happy hearing that Dom got out," said Owen.

"Well, we need to find him, and fast."

Everyone nodded their head, and then turned their attention to Alice when she let out a low growl. She was getting anxious, and she could feel her Wild Side coming back to her, telling her to break out and find Dom.

"Alice, calm down," said Owen as he walked over to the Indominus and placed his hand on her snout, "We can't have you going on another rampage because of this."

"We'll bring him back as soon as we find him, I promise you that," said Ian as he and Alexis headed for the door.

Owen grabbed his radio and spoke into it, "Lowery, you there?"

"Yeah, and I saw everything that happened. I'll keep Alice calm while you guys go and search for Dom," said the tech geek.

"Right, thanks Lowery."

Owen and Ryan then proceeded to follow Ian and Alexis.

It was time to search for an M.I.A. Indominus.

Dom was finally outside of the walls and could see the world that Alice had told him about. He ran over and saw many humans walking through a vast street. Dom gave a war cry and then ran into the crowd of people. The crowd saw that Dom was out on the loose and soon began to panic. Many people ran indoors to stay away from the hatchling Indominus. Dom then tackled a few of the humans and sniffed them every time. Some had things attached to their backs, aka backpacks, book bags, etc., others had sweet tasting food in their hands. Dom was seeing all of this for the first time, and already loved it. After a few minutes, Dom saw that there was some kind of small box that smelled amazing! He ran up to it and dug through it, pulling out meat in the shape of small sticks. Dom continued to chow down as Owen, Ryan, Alexis, and Ian ran out onto Main Street and saw the hatchling Indominus eating his heart away.

"What do we do?" asked Alexis.

Ian looked over at the Innovation Center, and an idea sparked in his brain.

"The Innovation Center," he said.

"What about it?" asked Ryan.

"What if we lured him inside and distracted him with one of the holograms inside. Then, once we get close enough to him, we grab him and take him back to his paddock."

"Sounds like a plan."

"How are we going to lure him inside of the Innovation Center?"

"Dom loves jerky," said Ian, "Luckily, and coincidentally, I have a stick of beef jerky in my pocket right now. I'll try luring him over, and once he and I are inside, Alexis, you project the holographic dinosaur."

"All right."

The group then separated and prepared to catch Dom.

"The raptors aren't going to have babies, Lowery," argued Vivian.

"Yes they will. You'll see. They'll get here, sniff out the ladies and canoodle each other until some eggs pop out," said Lowery back.

"Lowery, don't you think that Owen taught his girls better than that?" asked one of the Control workers in the front of the room.

"I don't think Owen ever anticipated the fact that there would be male velociraptors on the same island as his girls. He's never had Sex one-o-one with them."

"Lowery! Don't be so weird about it."

"Asset out of containment!" yelled one of Security in the room.

"What?!"

The screens then showed the cameras to Main Street and showed Dom tackling a few people and sniffing them out.

"Oh no," said Lowery.

"What do we do?" asked Vivian.

"How did he get out?" asked one of Security.

"I don't know."

Lowery then looked at the corner of one of the screens and zoomed in.

"Owen and the others are already on it," said Lowery.

"Should we still get ACU to handle it?" Vivian asked.

"No! If we do that, God knows what hell Alice would rain down on this island."

"But-"

"Look, we're just going to have to wait things out and let Owen and the others handle it."

"Let Owen and the others handle what?" asked a familiar CEO's voice from behind.

Everyone went silent and turned to see Claire and Sarah walking in. Claire arched an eyebrow at everyone staring at her and then she glanced up at the screens. Claire dropped the coffee that was in her hand, but luckily Lowery caught it in his trash can. Claire stared at the screen for a few seconds until asking, "What is happening right now?"

"Dom got out somehow and is now running through Main Street," responded Vivian.

"Did you tell ACU to catch him?"

"No, Lowery says that we should let Owen and the others handle it."

Claire shot her deadly gaze to the tech geek and slowly approached him.

"Is this true Mr. Cruthers?"

Lowery gulped loudly and felt a bead of sweat beginning to form and run down the side of his head.

"Y-Yes," he nervously responded.

Claire stared deep into Lowery's eyes, deep down to his soul, sending shivers down his spine.

"As much as I hate to admit it, Lowery, you made a smart decision."

"Really?"

"Yes. If we were to send ACU after Dom and Alice heard about it, Lord knows what she'd do to this island."

"That's exactly what I said!"

"Well, Sarah, you go down to Main Street and do your best to keep everyone calm. Lowery, how's Alice doing?"

"I'm doing my best to calm her down."

"Right, keep doing that. I'll go down and help Owen and the others. Everyone, remain calm and continue your work. Lowery, keep me posted on Alice's status."

"Got it Boss."

Claire and Sarah then left the room and headed to Main Street.

Ian pulled out the jerky from his pocket and then went up the stairs leading to the Innovation Center.

"Dom!" he called out as he waved the dried meat in his hand.

The hatchling Indominus lifted his head and narrowed his focus on the slender piece of meat in his human's hand. Dom then charged for Ian, and Ian ran inside of the Innovation Center and ran past Alexis. Once Dom was inside and stood in the middle of the lobby, Alexis selected the newly added Indominus hologram, which was basically Alice but as a hologram. Dom backed up at seeing his big sister and then chirped at her. The hologram chirped back at Dom.

Alexis, Owen, Ryan, and Ian slowly approached Dom from all directions. They tried to approach the hatchling as quiet as they could. Dom, however, knew what was going on, and just before they lunged themselves at him, he jumped out of the way and ran off into the lab. The four humans lunged and couldn't do anything after Dom jumped out of the way, and bashed each other's heads together. The four then groaned in pain and rubbed their heads.

"Guys," said Ian as he rubbed his head, "I know that we're supposed to put our heads together to catch Dom, but this is ridiculous."

"Well, he went into the lab, he can't escape through there unless he came back out here and ran out the front door," said Owen, "Let's push him into Wu's secret lab and catch him there."

The other three nodded their heads and the four of them slowly got up and then slowly walked into the lab.

Claire and Sarah arrived at Main Street and Sarah began to tell the crowds to calm down and relax because the park had the situation under control. Claire walked into the Innovation Center and looked around and heard Dom in the distance. She stomped her way over to the lab, and then saw that Owen, Alexis, Ryan, and Ian were luring Dom back into Wu's secret lab.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Claire.

Owen shot up and the others just widened their eyes as they slowly turned their gazes to the CEO. Even Dom stopped moving and stared at the redhead.

"How. Did. This. Happen?" she asked with a stern voice.

Everyone looked at each other, and kept gesturing to each other for one of them to answer.

"Uh, Dom got out and we're just trying to bring him back," slowly responded Ian.

"How did he get out?" Claire asked.

"Well, you see, Alexis and I went in to go and check on how he and Alice were doing, but then, Dom went into the viewing room and tackled Ryan and I. Then, I forgot to close the door and he ran out."

Everyone looked at Ian and were surprised that he would hide the truth from Claire. But, it's not like Owen intentionally let Dom out. He didn't know that it was going to happen.

"Well, now that we have Dom, let's take him back before he does anything else."

Ian grabbed Dom and held him in his arms. Dom wasn't the small Indominus he used to be. He was now a bit above knee height, so, Ian had to find the right position to hold the hatchling. They then proceeded quietly out of the lab, through Main Street, and then finally arrived at the Indominus Paddock.

Alice was more than happy to see Dom fine and healthy! She had thought that something bad was going to happen to him, but it turns out that the small Indominus knew how to survive out in the park. Alice was grateful that Lowery helped her in keeping her calm. Alice was worried sick. She was more worried over the fact that her Wild Side might come out and wreak yet again havoc onto the park. But, luckily, that problem was avoided. Ian placed Dom on Alice's snout and then they closed the window of the viewing room. Alice placed Dom on the ground and then told him that it wasn't good to run off like that. Dom told Alice that he had fun on his little adventure and that he saw her outside of the paddock. Alice knew that Dom was talking about the hologram, but went along with it and told him that she just wanted to keep a very close eye on him.

Everyone in the viewing room watched as Alice spoke with Dom. Then, the four who hunted down Dom, tried to slowly back up and exit the room, but Claire stopped them by saying, "Don't. Move."

Everyone stopped in place and then waited for Claire to rain down hellfire on them.

"I'm glad that the four of you were able to catch Dom before he hurt himself by going deeper into park. I'm not upset whatsoever. I'm just, a little irritated that Ian would lie to me to save Owen's behind," she said as she stared at said velociraptor trainer.

"Claire-"

"No, Ian, don't. Look, I'm not going to rain down fire and brimstone. I know that it was just an accident. You guys just need to be more careful next time. Please, try your best to not let it happen again."

Everyone slowly nodded their heads, and then they stepped away from Owen, leaving him with Claire.

"I'm sorry that this happened Claire," said Owen softly.

"Owen, it's okay. I'm just glad Dom didn't hurt anyone, or himself," responded Claire.

"How are you this calm right now?"

"What? I just remembered something an old friend told me. 'The secret to being in control, is to learn that you are never in Control.'"

"Well, good job keeping it together."

Claire gave a small smile. She then gave Owen a quick peck on the lips and the two walked over to the viewing glass, where Ryan, Ian, and Alexis were.

Dom was beginning to fall asleep to take his noon nap.

"Alexis," began Ian, "you said that you can sing right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, why not sing a soft tune to get Dom to go to sleep?"

"Can I?" Alexis asked Claire.

"Be my guest."

"Anything but that song, please," said Ryan.

"No, I'm saying that Alexis can sing something."

"Oh."

Ian slid the window open and he and Alexis sat on the ledge.

"What song should I sing?" she asked them.

A song then came to Ian's mind.

"Alexis, follow my lead."

"Okay."

Ian cleared his voice and then began, "Wimoweh, Wimoweh, Wimoweh, Wimoweh..."

Ian continued tuning the familiar tune, and Alexis caught on to the song that he was trying to get her to sing.

Alexis then began with her golden voice, 'In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Indominus sleeps tonight. Oh, in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Indominus sleeps tonight.'

Everyone else began to hum along with Alexis, and soon, Dom fell asleep.

Dom went out on his own little adventure out on Main Street and got to see some of the world beyond the walls of his paddock. It was quite the adventure, and what better way to end it than with a song. It was good song, right?
