The pack had been running towards the restricted area for only a few minutes of human time before the roar of Owen's motorcycle came to them. Blue barked to her sisters. It could be Owen but he had been too hurt. It could be someone else. So she split the pack, Delta behind her, Charlie and Echo hidden in the shrubberies to the side, ready to ambush the intruder.

The motorcycle came into view a minute later, Intern riding it. She braked to a stop when she saw Blue who hissed at her.

How dare she! She rode her alpha's bike and she wore her alpha's gun on her back. Intern rocked back a little and then stood up, balancing the bike between her thighs.

She held out her hands in the gesture Blue had learned meant surrender among humans, and meant weak to raptors.

"I'm here to help," Intern said. "If people find out you've been free, they'll blame you for a lot of things. You need a witness. You need someone who will tell them that you've done no harm to what mattered."

She took a breath and then continued. "The people who did this, they'll try anything to get what they want, including blaming you. They could get you killed with the right pressure and that means they might get your alpha in trouble."

Blue hissed at her and Echo barked at the weak human woman standing in front of them. Their alpha was not weak. And the pack would kill anyone who tried to harm him.

"You need someone to vouch for you. I can do that. I can stop the trouble before it starts."

It was…interesting... this idea. Blue understood that if Intern saw what happened she could tell the other humans and they would believe her. But Blue did not like this woman who was strange, who was not truly afraid, as if they were just trained animals and she had nothing to fear from them because they did as they were told.

Blue was going to cure her of that notion. They followed their alpha. They were not trained except in the ways to hunt better, faster. They were not to be taken lightly. They were to be respected. If Intern was true in her purpose, she would stay, she would stay after this.

Blue barked to Charlie and Delta and her sisters moved out the brush, arrows of death, stopping just short of their target. Intern jumped, twisted and then twisted back when the gravel of the road rattled under Blue's claws.

She knocked the woman off her alpha's bike, twisted so she wouldn't land on her. She waited patiently for the woman to scramble to her feet.

Intern's eyes were wide, her breath coming harshly. Blue walked up to her slowly, carefully rolling her muscles to intimidate. Intern swallowed hard but didn't move. Blue walked straight up to her and pushed her muzzle in her face.

Intern rocked back. She let out a stifled cry but cut it off. Blue pushed her in the face again and she twisted away but didn't move. Blue nudged her again and Intern took a sharp breath inward but still didn't move.

Blue stepped back and stared at her. After a moment, the human girl turned her head to look at the pack beta. She was shaking and her eyes showed wide, terrifying fear. They showed terrible things the way Carter-Safe-Warrior's did.

It took Blue a moment to realize that she had, in fact, figured out why she and the rest of the pack hadn't liked Kavita. It was because she hadn't been afraid of them and that had translated into them believing that she didn't respect them. The only person that wasn't afraid them, even instinctively, was Owen, because he had no reason, not a single one, to be afraid of them. He was alpha and that was all he needed.

Kavita had not been alpha, had not been pack, had not been anything remotely powerful enough to give her reason not to fear the pack. The only reason left, had been arrogance that spoke of a lack of respect for what they were and what they could do.

Looking at her, Blue acknowledged that her assessment had been wrong. Kavita was afraid of them. She was afraid of them in a bone-deep, body-shaking fear, that reeked and marked her as prey. Then, in a few seconds, the fear was gone, locked away in a place it couldn't touch her. Kavita was afraid them, she was just very, very good at hiding it.

Interesting.

Blue stepped back again and then tossed her head in the direction they'd been going. Keep up, she mentally snarled at the woman. Then she barked and the pack took off again.

A few moments later the motorbike roared to life, following them.

Claire got a call a few minutes later.

"The pack's gone," Cater said without greeting. "We found Owe and the medics have him. They're coming back to medical with him now."

"Good," said Claire, "Where is the pack?"

"Got prints on the road leading to the restricted area. If I had to say anything, I think they went to protect their territory."

"Sheesh," said Claire with feeling.

"Hamada's on his way to meet them," Carter said, "We have another problem."

"What?" said Claire.

"Owen's intern is missing. There are motorbike tracks on top of the raptor's. I'd say she went after them. Owen's rifle and knife are also missing, along with extra ammunition."

"Is she trying to kill them?" asked Claire alarmed.

"I have no idea," said Carter. "I sent a few guys to trail them, using the gps on Owen's bike. Hopefully they'll catch up before anything bad happens."

"Carter, she cannot kill those raptors!" Claire said.

"Don't I know that?" said Carter. "I'm more worried about her. You didn't see what happened when Owen was locked in that ship. I did. I'm not too worried. You might want to pull her file though. See if there is anything we missed."

"Alright," she said, "We'll get on that." She ended the call that then said "Shit!"

Owen was in a haze of pain. He heard voices at some times and other times he caught pieces of emotion from his pack. At times, he also caught pieces of emotion from the other dinosaurs.

Something was blocking him, clamping down on his connection to the pack so hard it felt like a tourniquet that was getting tighter and tighter and the tissue on either side was dying for lack of nutrient.

Something hovered between him and the pack. Something that was wrong. He tried to tell the people above him but he couldn't get his mouth to work.

"Owen!" Zack's voice was very clear for a moment and then gone.

Sue roared in the back of his mind, her anger a terrifying potent force. M was a dark swirling current, dragging him down. He was going to drown. Then he was gone from both of them. He couldn't feel any of them. Just the pain.

"Josh!" a frantic, terrifying sound, a sister's scream for her brother.

A tension that grabbed him, clung to him, refused to let go. Owen fought and fought. Something hot and metallic as it seeping into his mouth.

"Sedate him!" a voice said. Then a blanket-like cloud descended over him and Owen was dragged into unconsciousness. Before he reached the bottom he saw four bright specks of light and then he was gone.

Thoughts anyone?
