Guest 2: I think everyone is going to take a while to trust Josiah, even I don't fully trust him yet...

Cat girl: This is redemption time! Please don't haunt me!

Teddi 8347: Well, I haven't thought about it, but, I am considering writing a one shot about it. It sounds like fun!

It Was Her

Everyone arrived at the Innovation Center and did their best to help Alexis out. And oh did they arrive in the Knick of time. They rushed her to first aid and then were actually able to save her life. They stitched up her wound and then attended the smaller cuts made by getting shoved through the glass. Alexis was unconscious still, and her aunt Sasha wasn't going to leave her side until Alexis came to. Owen and the others now had a bit more of a manageable crime scene to work with, but they couldn't get anything. All they got were traces of Alexis's blood. Ian felt terrible for all of this. If he had gotten to Alexis sooner, maybe he might've been able to save her, of maybe she wouldn't have even gone into the Innovation Center.

It was now Wednesday, and Alexis still hadn't come to. It was around noontime, and Ian was trying his best to figure out who attacked Alexis. Claire and the others were at Reggie's office, discussing what Tim and Reggie told them.

"Alice is sterile?" Claire asked.

"Yeah," said Reggie.

"What does that mean?" Owen asked.

"It means that Alice can't have children," replied Tim.

"Oh..."

"Poor Alice," said Claire.

"Who's going to tell her?" Reggie asked.

"No, we're not telling Alice."

"Why not Claire?"

"Because I want you to run some tests. There is no way Wu could have made a mistake like that. If he wanted the Indominus species to thrive, then he wouldn't make either of them sterile or impotent."

"What if Josiah's castrated?" Tim asked.

"I'll run tests on both of them then. I can give you results in a day or two."

"Okay."

Reggie then nodded his head and exited his office to go and deal with a sick triceratops.

Ian was sitting in the room that Alexis was in, along with Sasha, Alexis's aunt. Sasha was praying to God that Alexis would wake up and that they could go back to living normal lives on Nublar. Ian stared at Alexis's scars and then got up from his chair and stepped out of the room for a second. He looked around and saw Commander Jones walking by.

"Hey, Commander Jones, can I use your radio for a second?" Ian asked.

"What for?" Jones asked.

"I need to make a call to Lowery."

"Oh, okay."

Jones pulled out his radio and handed it to Ian.

"Lowery, you there?" Ian asked.

"Ian, what do you need?" Lowery asked.

"Did you get anything on Alexis's attack?"

"Yeah actually."

"What?"

"Alexis knows who's under the mask."

"Explain."

"Before being pushed through the glass, Alexis took off the figure's mask. Alexis is the key to figuring all this out."

"Then I guess we'll have to wait for our key to wake up."

"And let's hope that our mysterious figure doesn't show up to off her for good."

"Right, well, thanks Lowery."

"Anytime."

Ian then handed Jones his radio and then he went back into the room. Sasha couldn't stop shedding tears.

"She's so young," said Sasha to Ian, even though she kept her gaze on Alexis.

Ian didn't say anything, he just continued to listen to Sasha.

"Her parents died in a plane crash, and I took her in. She's the daughter that I always wanted. She can't leave like this."

Ian wanted to give Sasha a hug for assurance, but instead just stared at Alexis's cuts. Most of the cuts she received were from the glass that she went through. The main gash was in her stomach from the stab she received from the figure. Ian needed to figure out who the figure was and fast.

Claire, Reggie, Owen and Tim reunited at Reggie's office once again because Reggie called them over to tell them something.

"Alice isn't sterile," said Reggie.

"That was fast," said Owen.

"Well, the results haven't come back, but, I got into contact with an old friend of mine, she's a reptile expert, and she told me that Alice could possibly be capable of parthenogenesis."

"English, please."

"It's when a female doesn't need a male to reproduce. She can reproduce asexually."

"No, that doesn't make sense. Alice being sterile actually makes a bit more sense," said Claire.

"How Claire?" asked Tim.

"Human DNA..."

Everyone turned to look at Owen and then Claire asked, "Owen, what are you talking about?"

"Alice has human DNA in her, right? What if her human side is the problem? If there is a problem," responded Owen.

"That could very well be a factor," said Reggie as he went to grab Alice's file.

"So, stepping a bit away from the topic, who's DNA did Wu use?" Tim asked.

"There's a question that's worth answering."

"Can we even run a test on that?"

"Yes, we keep blood samples of every employee at Jurassic World for various reasons. It's possible that we can get some blood from Alice and then try matching it with one of the employees' blood."

"Okay. But, if Alice has human DNA, then doesn't that mean every Indominus has human DNA?" Claire asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, if we were to find the DNA of the human that they have, maybe it could help us work with them a bit easier, because it would help us do things that revolve around the human's character."

"Which could help us with Josiah?" Tim asked.

"Exactly."

"Well, I've got a very busy schedule ahead of me then. I better get to work," said Reggie, "I'll contact you when I get the results of all the tests."

Reggie then left his office and then the others soon followed.

Alice awoke in her paddock, with Dom already bouncing around. She slowly got up and then scanned for Josiah. Alice didn't fully trust the new Indominus, but since he was going to be living here, she and Dom had to make an effort in trusting the male. Alice walked out to the pond to get a drink, and Dom ran over to her and jumped in the water, splashing some of the water on Alice's face. Alice lightly shook her head to get some of the water off and she told Dom not to do that again. Alice could only take so much of Dom when she woke up. Dom got out of the water and then ran into the brush in search of Josiah. Dom didn't fully know Josiah, but, that didn't stop Dom from trying to get the other Indominus to play Hide and Seek with him. Dom located Josiah, who was sleeping at the other end of the paddock, near the paddock door to be exact. Dom slowly trotted over to the bigger Indominus and then tried waking him up by thrusting his head into the bigger Indominus's snout.

Josiah felt something poking at his snout, and he slowly cracked open his ruby eyes to see what was pestering him. He saw that it was the small Indominus, Dom, who was pecking at him. Josiah lightly pushed Dom away with his snout and told him to piss off. Dom huffed and then thrusted his head into Josiah's snout again. Now was not the time for sleeping, it was a time for games! Josiah was not going to have this right now, so he shoved Dom again, this time making the small Indominus roll back. Dom was getting a little irritated, so, he retaliated by jumping on Josiah's snout and chewed it vigorously. Josiah couldn't feel anything, but it sure was annoying as hell. Josiah then slowly got up and began to shake his head rigorously. He understood that he couldn't hurt the little guy, but right now, he really didn't care; he wanted more sleep. Josiah was a bit happy that Alice wasn't around, because if she was, he was certain that she would lash at him for trying to hurt the little one. Josiah, after seeing that Dom wasn't going to give up so easily, decided to give in to the little guy's wishes, and then set him down on the ground. Josiah then asked Dom what he wanted. Dom told Josiah that he wanted to play Hide and Seek. Josiah didn't know what that was, so he asked Dom what it was. Dom was shocked at the question. How could Josiah have lived his life without knowing or even playing Hide and Seek? It was blasphemy! Dom explained the game to Josiah and then told Josiah to be the Seeker. Josiah sighed a sigh of slight annoyance, but decided to play anyway. Dom ran off into the brush and hid as best as he could, and Josiah soon went in search for the small hybrid.

Ian and Sasha were still in Alexis's room, waiting for her to come to.

"Ouch," said a soft voice.

Ian and Sasha looked over and saw that Alexis had finally woken up. Ian sighed a great sigh of relief, and Sasha gasped and began to cry tears of joy as she got close to Alexis and ran her hand over Alexis's scared face.

"Alexis, you're alive," said Sasha, "thank God!"

"Oh man," began Alexis, "I've never been in a situation like this."

"Yep, nice to have you back Alexis," said Ian.

Alexis smiled and then said, "Yeah well, I wasn't planning on leaving yet. That's not on my schedule for anytime soon."

Ian gave a light chuckle and then said, "Alexis, I know that you have to rest a bit more and all, but, I need to know something."

"You want to know what the figure looks like?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

Ian pulled his phone out and then opened the notes app and waited for Alexis to talk.

"First," she began, "the figure is a girl. Black hair, pale skin, rosy cheeks, red lips, light blue eyes, and pronounced cheek bones."

Ian typed everything Alexis said and then said, "If this lady had green eyes, you would've basically described my mom. I'll find Claire and tell her about this. Maybe she might know someone who has these features. Get some rest and get better soon Alexis."

"Thanks Ian."

Ian then exited the room and went to go find Claire to tell her what Alexis had told him.

Josiah had to admit, Dom was a good hider. He hadn't seen Dom in a good amount of time. Josiah was actually a little scared that Dom completely disappeared. Josiah sniffed the air, and couldn't pick up Dom's scent whatsoever. Josiah then decided to use his heat sensing, but Dom must've cooled down his temperature, because all he could find was Alice walking around. Josiah then heard a snapping sound and quickly stepped toward where the sound came from. Found him! Josiah quickly grabbed Dom by his tail and held him up high. Dom squirmed and then told Josiah to let him down. Josiah did as the small Indominus said and then asked him how he hid so well. Dom said that he couldn't reveal his secret, because then both Josiah and Alice would then know Dom's game. Josiah gave a snort and then paused at when Alice appeared.

Alice stared at Josiah and then told Dom to follow her and to stay close to her. Dom ran over to Alice and then went up her back and chirped his goodbye to Josiah. Josiah blinked at Alice and then huffed air through his nostrils.

Alice was going to be a bit of a tough nut to crack.

Ian told Claire what Alexis had told her, and she couldn't believe who he was describing. Alexis had perfectly described Zara, Claire's ex-assistant. Claire didn't want to believe it, so she sent Ian to Control to see if Lowery could help him out. Claire went back to her room to get a bit of rest, because a lot was happening at the moment. Ian told Lowery everything that had happened and then asked Lowery about Zara. Lowery explained everything he knew about Zara, and then Ian began to wonder how on Earth Zara tied in to all of this and told Lowery his crazed theory.

"You think Zara was thrown up by the Mosasaur?" Lowery asked.

"Well, Julie said that a week before the Indominus Incident, that she started throwing up two out of the five times they fed her," replied Ian.

"Hm, it's a crazy theory, but I guess we can work with it."

Lowery was searching through articles of the park's reopening because he was a little bored at the moment. Ian saw something that caught his eye and then told Lowery to stop scrolling.

"Lowery! Look!" said Ian as he pointed at the picture of the article.

"What?" Lowery asked.

The picture was of Main Street and how it was flooded with people. But, there was one person that stood out in the crowd.

"Zara was here when the park reopened," said Ian.

Ian and Lowery looked at each other and then Lowery grabbed the phone and called Claire immediately. She didn't pick up, so Lowery hung up the phone and radioed Owen.

"What's up Lowery?" Owen asked.

"Owen! You need to find Claire now!" said Lowery.

"Why?"

"Because she's in danger!" said Ian.

"She went to her room to get some rest," said Owen.

"Well, if you don't get over there now, she might end up resting, forever!"

"I'll head over now."

Lowery then let go of the button and then Ian said, "Let's get over there, too."

"Why?"

"Because, we can explain everything."

"Fine, let's get going."

Lowery and Ian got up from the chairs and began to run for Claire's room.

Claire was in the hallway that led to her room. She got in front of the door and pulled out the key. She opened the door and then, before she could close it, an arm and a knife came in and swung at Claire, and cut Claire's right arm, making her scream in retaliation. Claire then backed up and saw as the door fully opened, revealing the murderous female figure. Claire then ran into the bathroom and locked the door. She stepped away from the door when she saw the knife come through it. Her eyes began to water. It was only a matter of time before the door was broken down and her life would end. Claire pulled out her phone and then tried calling someone, but dropped her phone and looked at her shaky hands. She was too scared right now.

Owen ran into the hallway and saw that the door to Claire's room was open, and proceeded with caution. Owen pulled out the knife that he had attached to his belt. He stepped in and checked all his surroundings.

"Claire, you here?" he asked.

"Owen! I'm in the bathroom," said Claire with a shaky voice.

Owen stepped in front of the bathroom door and then Claire opened it, but it was a bit too late.

"Owen behind you!" yelled Claire.

Owen turned around and was startled at the figure being directly in front of him. The figure stabbed Owen in the left shoulder, making him shout in pain. He then punched the figure away and pulled the knife out of his shoulder. He dropped the knife and then held his own knife in his right hand.

"Who the hell are you?" Owen asked.

The figure stood up and then saw the open doorway and tried heading for it, until Lowery and Ian showed up, and Ian had a gun in hand.

"Give up now," said Ian as he pointed the gun at the figure.

The gun was empty, but obviously the figure didn't know that, so it actually believed that it was loaded.

"It's over. You've been busted...Zara," said Lowery.

"What?" asked Claire.

The figure then put their arms down to their side and then took their mask off, revealing none other than Zara Young herself.

"Zara? H-How did-" began Claire until she was cut off by Ian.

"The Mosasaur was starting to throw up two out of the fives times it was fed a week before Alice's rampage. Zara was fortunate to be thrown up be Ariel," responded Ian.

"But, why?" Owen asked.

Zara stayed quiet and stared at Ian.

"Well, there are a few reasons for motive. There's feeling underappreciated by Claire; Claire being a bitch to Zara; maybe even Zara actually loving Claire; or, money."

"Money?"

"Yeah, it's possible Zara was hired by the person she was working with in the whole drop off bag ordeal to kill some people."

"You only have part of it, right," said Zara.

"Well then explain the rest, please."

Zara let out a sigh and then said, "All those reasons are my motives for killing Claire."

"Oh, well, that was a bit unexpected," said Lowery.

"I've said a bit much already."

"Say, is it possible that the person you were working with was Gabriel Ortiz?"

Zara looked at Ian and then saw the knife on the ground and quickly grabbed it. She then lifted it up to her neck and in an instant, Zara had slit her own throat and bled out on the floor.

Everyone watched as a pool of blood grew wider on the floor and then Owen looked at Claire and asked softly, "You okay?"

"Just a cut, but otherwise, I'm a little shaken up," responded Claire.

"But, why would she go out and try killing Sarah and Alexis?"

"Well, it's your typical Scream protocol. Kill various innocents to keep away from the killers' true target," said Ian.

"So, Zara was working with Ortiz?" Claire asked.

"I don't know, but killing yourself after asking the question seems a little convincing."

"Ortiz has a lot of explaining to do," said Owen.

"Well, on a little bit of the bright side, it looks like we can reopen the park. We caught the killer and now, no one else should die here."

Lowery and Ian then stepped out of the room for a second as they contacted Security and First Aid. Owen looked at Claire and said, "You should stay the night with me and Ryan. I think you need it."

"Owen-"

"No, I'm serious Claire. You can't sleep here tonight after what just happened."

"You know what? Fine. I won't argue with you."

Owen gave a small smile and then both he and Claire tried attending their wounds.

Ortiz paced back and forth in the small secret lab in the labs of the Innovation Center. He then received a call and answered the phone.

"Did she do it?" he asked.

"I'm afraid not, boss," responded the other person on the other side of the line.

"Well, is she at least close?"

"Not exactly. She killed herself Ortiz."

"God damn it! She was my best assistant! Well then, it's time to take matters into our own hands."

"Tell me what you need Boss."

"Just, keep me posted with everything that goes on."

"You got it."

Ortiz then hung up the phone and mentally cursed at himself for thinking he could trust Zara to kill Claire.

Zara was the killer. She survived the Incident and became Ortiz's assistant to get revenge on Claire for being ruthless to her. She also did it because Ortiz was going to pay a handsome amount of money to her for killing Claire. Zara had many motives, but it ended up with her killing herself, for good this time.
