Guest 2: I promise you that I will not kill Alice! She's too precious to me and all my other turtles!
Cat girl: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to squeeze you so hard! I'm just so happy that you're back!
Teddi 8347: He won't hurt Dom. Dom is too adorable to be hurt even by the meanest of Indominus Rexes! You know, you've given me an idea to write a little one shot for this story in which the girl raptors, including a survived Charlie, meet James' boys. I'll put it into consideration.
Oceasia: You know, I didn't think about how similar they were until you pointed it out. So, I guess it can be an easter egg!
Unsung Words/The Park Is Closed?
Reggie finally stepped into the scene and helped check on Dom and figure out the Alice never ate her sibling. Dom met Rexy, and Rexy loved Dom so much! The group is hitting brick walls when it comes to trying to figure out a few things between Gracie and Styler's disappearance, the other existing Indominus that Alice was accused of devouring at birth, and now they're trying to figure out what's the deal with the mysterious figure. Also, there's another Indominus out in the world, and Ortiz is keeping him at an InGen warehouse, but he's plotting something a bit more sinister for the Indominus.
It's now Saturday, and over these next two days, the group would search for answers as oppose to raising more questions. On Friday, Sarah ran into the Innovation Center and told Claire everything that happened, and everyone was on high alert. Owen, Ryan and Ian were the most worried about it. Sarah was nearly killed, but they were more than relieved that she survived. Claire told Sarah to stay in her room, with her doors locked and to not let anyone in, even if it was Owen, Ryan, or Ian. Sasha, Alexis' aunt, had become good friends with Sarah and said that she would watch over her for the day and keep her safe.
The group was then divided into small groups: The teens, Owen, Ryan, and James, Tim and Reggie, and Lowery and Vivian. Different tasks were deemed upon them to solve. Owen, Ryan, and James were trying to get to the bottom of the killer figure that tried to kill Sarah. The teens were to look more into the drop off bag and as to why Zara was giving off seemingly false information to the hybrids. Tim and Reggie were to look into more of the Indominus that was located somewhere else. And, Lowery and Vivian were going to look deeper into Gracie and Styler's disappearance, now with the figure to in motion, they could actually use that to say how the two disappeared.
The teens were discussing the drop off bag at Alice's paddock, with Alice watching them with the highest interest. Alice didn't know who this Zara was, but she knew that she was dead. Alice also saw the fake file that was in the bag because they showed it to her. Alice then wanted to help the teens out and they placed out the laminated letters in front of her. Lucky for everyone, Dom was always sleepy and lazy on the weekends, so they wouldn't have to worry about him one bit. The teens were sitting in a semicircle in front of the viewing glass, with Alice on the other side looking through the opened window.
"Okay, so, from what we got so far, Zara was giving these false files to the hybrids, but the question is, why? If she was working with them, why would she give them bad info?" Ian asked.
"Maybe she wasn't truly working with them," said Alexis.
Ian turned his head to look at Alexis and then said, "There's a thought. Good job Alexis."
Alexis smiled as she then grabbed another one of the files and read over it.
"Well, my question is, what if only one of these files was messed up?" Olivia asked as she held an Apatotaurus file in her hand.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, think about it. The hybrids biggest bet for serious cash would have been the Indominus, right? What if Zara and whoever she was truly working with messed up the data on the file and then gave it to them, leaving the rest of the files uncorrupted?"
"Casey, write all of that down."
"On it," responded Casey as he jotted down the theories.
"Okay, so we have Zara possibly working with someone else and that they messed up the file of the Indominus on purpose and gave it to the hybrids. Alice, what do you think?"
Alice then began to rearrange the letters.
'Ortiz'
"Ortiz? What are you getting at Alice?"
'Ortiz is bad man'
"And that's relevant to this because?" asked Alexis.
"Wait!" yelled out Olivia, "Alice might be onto something!"
"What?" asked Ian.
"Well, if I'm getting what Alice is trying to hint at is that Zara was working with Ortiz."
Alice nodded her head and then rearranged letters again.
'Mean to me'
"He was mean to you?" Alexis asked.
Alice nodded her head and then rearranged the letters once again.
'Death by Noah'
"Death by Noah?" Ian asked, "What do you mean by that?"
'Flood'
"Flood? What flood?" Casey asked.
"You mean the Biblical flood?" Ian asked.
Alice nodded her head.
"Biblical flood?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, in the Bible, God chose a man called Noah to construct an ark that would save every species of animal on the planet and mankind. Every species that entered the ark went in pairs, one male and one female. Only eight people got onto the ark: Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons' wives."
"You read the Bible Ian?" Alexis asked.
"In my spare time, I do tend to read it."
"You religious?"
"You can say something like that."
"So, what does the Biblical flood and Ortiz have to do with any of this?" Olivia asked.
"Well, let's try putting two and two together."
"Well, from the few times I've talked to him, Ortiz is a religious fanatic."
"So, what? He threatened Alice with the flood?"
Alice nodded her head.
"Ortiz told Alice that he would destroy her by a flood?" Alexis asked.
Alice nodded her head again.
"Hm, it's pretty hard to believe that Ortiz could be an insane religious fanatic," said Ian.
"Maybe, that's why he acts differently when he's here," said Olivia.
Ian thought about Olivia's words and then turned to Alice and then asked, "Did he say anything else to you?"
'Abomination'
"Geez, that Ortiz guy sounds really mean," said Alexis.
"Alice, why didn't you say anything before? I mean, I get that you didn't get these letters in your paddock until a few days ago, but even then, you should have said something," said Ian.
"Well, maybe she didn't feel like the time was appropriate," said Olivia.
"Regardless, now we have a new suspect, Ortiz."
"Great, now we have to interrogate him."
"I think it'll be easy though."
"How so Ian?"
"Well, think about how open he is for giving any kind of information. I'm pretty sure he'd tell us if what Alice says is true or not."
"Wouldn't that just make him more suspicious?"
"Yes actually. His over enthusiastic demeanor, his openness with giving information without any kind of negotiation, all those are just factors that he uses to make him seem more innocent."
"So, in reality, all those factors are-"
"Distractions so that we don't pin anything on him."
Casey wrote everything down as Ian continued to talk. Olivia grabbed another file and scanned it, while Alexis pulled out her phone and texted Zach. Alice simply stared at Ian and listened to all the words that came out of his mouth.
"So, instead of Gracie killing Styler, this figure killed them both?" Vivian asked as she watched Lowery replay the video footage.
"Seems that way," said Lowery.
"Well, it's hard to tell, because that figure doesn't show up at all."
"Why were we tasked with this?"
"Because not everyone can get to see this footage as much as we can."
"Viv, why do you always have to say something when I say something?"
Vivian smiled at Lowery and then watched the footage again.
"Wait, rewind it a little bit," said Vivian.
Lowery did as Vivian asked and then she said, "Stop! Pause it there!"
Lowery paused the video and then asked, "You see something?"
"Yeah, look at the corner of the screen."
Lowery looked at the corner of the screen and saw what Vivian saw.
"Is that the figure?" he asked.
"Some of it," replied Vivian.
"You know, how is it that some of these cameras aren't angled perfectly to catch the whole scene?"
"I don't know. I don't work with the Tech guys."
"Yeah, but you dated one of them."
Vivian gave Lowery a smug face before saying, "Anyway, maybe there is another camera that we can look through."
"I'll check."
Lowery then began to look through the system to find any other angles of cameras while Vivian went back over to her desk and watched the screens, which displayed a map of the park.
"So, a murderous figure attacks your sister and you guys are just trying to figure out who the figure is?" James asked the Grady brothers as he leaned on the railing of the catwalk that was in the Sorna raptors' paddock.
"Pretty much," replied Ryan.
"Man, and I thought this park was crazy for having dinosaurs breaking out and causing chaos. But, a killer?"
"Well, we've also had some people who dressed up as dinosaur hybrids, we found Dom's egg at the old Visitor Center, there have ben vandals jumping around every now and then, one of them was poisoned, but that means that the others were poisoned as well, and now we have another Indominus out in the world somewhere and a mysterious murder figure. And, we still haven't fully figured out the whole thing with Zara and the drop off bag," replied Owen.
"Ay mi madre," said James as he sighed, "Well, whatever help you need, I'll provide it."
"Great! But, before we get on with anything else, I need to talk to you about something James."
"What is it?"
"Well, after much thinking and talking with Ryan over here, I'm considering my girls meet your boys."
"Really? Well, that's great! But, let's discuss that after we get through with these problems that the park has."
"Okay."
"So, where do we start?"
"Well, we're going to have to go to where Sarah was attacked."
"Then, let's get going."
Owen, Ryan and James then left to where Sarah was attacked.
"I thought we were trying to find out where the other Indominus was located," said Tim as he was handed another file by Reggie.
"We will, but I just want to check a few things with Alice and Dom's files," said Reggie as he placed a few folders on his desk.
"So, what do you think of all this?"
"This is a bunch of crazy hoopla. Who'd a thought that so much could go on an island?"
"We've got attackers, vandals, a missing Indominus, and yet there still remains one question."
"What?"
"Who's behind it all?"
"You think that there's one person who's the Puppet Master of all of this?"
"You don't think so?"
"No, I don't."
"Well, I believe so."
"You know, with all this crap going on,"began Reggie as he grabbed a folder off of his desk, "I don't understand why we don't get professionals to figure this out."
"Well, you know, who's going to believe a bunch of crazy people and their theories? Especially when we try pinning it on a seemingly innocent CEO or a missing mad scientist?"
"Very true Tim."
Tim handed Reggie a file and then they examined its contents.
Claire was not having it today. She wanted everyone to be safe, because she knew that the figure was going to return. They weren't going to be able to solve everything in a weekend. It was possible, but it wasn't going to be probable on this island. She went to Security, which was located in the same building where Control was located. Security was just a few floors down. There, Claire went to Commander Jones' office and saw him doing some paperwork.
"What can I help you with Miss Dearing?" he asked her.
"Mr. Jones, I know this might sound crazy, but I'm going to need Security to be upped a little bit," replied Claire.
"Why so?"
"Well, recently, someone was attacked by some kind of murderous figure, and that figure is still on this island, roaming around somewhere with the guests. I don't want to risk any deaths here, and I don't want the reputation of this park to become the same as the first park, please."
"Hold on Miss Dearing, explain a bit more of this would you?"
"My assistant was attacked by someone the other day and was nearly killed. With all this crazy stuff that's been happening, like the vandals, and now this, I just feel like Security should boost their officer count."
"Miss Dearing, to do something like that, you are going to have to talk to Mr. Ortiz first, or, you bring it up to the board."
"I will not bring this up to the board. They'll close the park until the problem is solved, and that could take weeks."
"But, don't you care about the safety of all these guests?"
"I do, but-"
"Then the choice is clear, isn't it?"
Claire sighed a small sigh of defeat, she needed to consult with some people before making that kind of decision. But, this decision was as clear as day, Claire mentally smacked herself for trying to think otherwise. Her experience in the Indominus Incident has helped her realize that both people and dinosaurs' safety should be her number one priority.
"Maybe, if you call the board, even if they close the park for a little bit, I can probably get more Security on the island to help you with your problem," said Jones.
"No, you see, I'm not so much as worried that the park will be closed for a while, I'm more worried on what the board will try to do afterwards," said Claire.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if someone were to die here, then I feel like they'd get bigger corporations involved."
"Like who?"
"I don't know. If an American dies, then it's pretty obvious who they'll send."
"F.B.I. But, you know, if you want to prevent that, you can just call the board now and have them close the park for a few days."
"That is true. All right, thank you Mr. Jones, you've helped me realize a few things that weren't clear to me at first."
"Anytime Miss Dearing."
Claire nodded her head with a smile and then exited Jones' office and then pulled out her phone and decided to make a phone call to the board.
"Orlando! I swear to God, you better fix this mess before I feed you to it!" yelled out Ortiz in anger.
Orlando wasn't doing very well with Josiah, the male Indominus Rex that Ortiz has kept under the wraps for God knows how long. Orlando was actually doing worse than the previous guy, Hodgins.
"I'm trying Boss! He just doesn't seem to like me! He only likes you!" responded Orlando.
Ortiz sighed a sigh of rage and then said, "I can't do everything around here Orlando! I have meetings to attend, a park to watch over, and an Indominus that needs to be moved to said park before he breaks out and destroys everything I've come to create!"
"What the hell are you talking about? What you call meetings, normal people would call murdering your colleagues. What you call watching over a park, normal people would call a fucking psychopath creepily watching a female Indominus Rex, only to picture livid and eccentric ways to murder her! What you call an Indominus that needs to be moved, well, that's pretty self explanatory. Point is, since you have all the time in the world, and I mean that in that utmost way possible, you should help this guy cooperate more so that he can get along with Alice!"
Ortiz stepped up to the man and then said, "Listen to me, I don't have time to deal with little pedasos de mierda like you, okay? If I'm going to help Josiah, that means that I'll have to kill you first. But, since I know that you have a wife and kid to take care of and feed, and since I actually tolerate you, I don't feel like murdering you. Don't push my buttons Orlando."
"You know what? Fuck you. I'm done with this bullshit."
Orlando pushed pass Ortiz, who turned around and then said, "Orlando! Don't you dare step out of this warehouse!"
"Watch me."
"Step out of those doors, and you'll never see your family again."
With that, Orlando stopped in his tracks and then turned around.
"Seems like you don't have much of an option."
"Oh, but I do. You see, you never listen to me when I speak to you don't you. My wife and kid died in a car accident a few years ago. And you can't even try to go for my parents, because they passed away a year ago. Good thing I'm an only child, too huh?"
"Orlando, I need you here to watch over Josiah."
"No, I'm tired of working in the company of death."
Orlando turned around and then stepped out of the warehouse. Ortiz ran to the door and then pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. A gunshot was heard and a hole was made in Orlando's back. Orlando let out a scream and fell to the floor, groaning in pain. Orlando felt the red hot pain spreading throughout his body and then he tried getting up again. Ortiz slowly walked over to Orlando and then said, "You see Orlando, there's something that you don't understand."
Ortiz aimed the gun at Orlando's head and then said, "Once you sign up to work with me, you've basically sold your soul to the Devil."
Ortiz pulled the trigger, and a bullet went through Orlando's head. Ortiz then called a few men over to clean up the mess.
"Seems like I'll just do it myself," said Ortiz.
Gabriel Ortiz wasn't going to take anymore shit from anyone. He needs to get Josiah to Jurassic World, so that his plan could finally go into play.
A/N: Turtles! Man, a lot is happening now huh? But, I hope that you like it nonetheless! Review, if you want to and please come back for more!
