The adventure commence (part Deux)

What ever Owen had imagined could have never compared to the actual gravity of the situation. Ingen not only were building another smaller complex, but had one of those temporary labs. He saw some white coats; the entire thing looked very sterile. Just like the old lab in the main complex. Ingen moved the entire operation to the raptors site, not only to cover their actual work, but because this place was going to be the home of the new bred raptors. After the I-Rex fiasco Ingen decided to breed only "pure" dinos, no more genetics freaks. Of course, if one could think of them as pure. Every animal here was a "cocktail" of at least four different species, nothing about Jurassic World wasn't normal.

Owen looked around. The rain started to intensify, the storm was coming faster than expected and soon the entire land would be one big mud pool. He had to hurry up and report everything to Crest. This thing here would be the last nail in Ingen's coffin.

Owen was just about to head to the camp, when he felt dull pain at the back of his head. Seconds later Owen Grady was fully out with Elias Patterson standing almost victorious over him.

It appears that Mr. Grady had made out our little secret, gentlemen! Maybe next time, when I say to keep an eye on him, one of you would actually have to do it. – Elias's voice was getting louder, not only because he was annoyed by the rookie mistake his people had made, but because the rain now was pouring. The sound of a thunder tore the air. Now, that out uninvited guest is here, we should make sure he is will feel comfortable enough. Patterson called some of his man, two big guys, and ordered them to make sure that Owen doesn't leave this place. At least not alive!

Take him away!

For the rest of you, I would strongly suggest to find better cover, hell is about to break loose over our heads!

Almost everyone got evacuated, leaving just the two guys and Owen behind. Patterson ordered Owen to be kept here until the storm is over. After that he would come back and deal with him, properly and for good. On an island like Isla Nublar incidents tend to happen. Especially for the people that work here. Hosking loved to say that nature is the gift that keeps on giving, and finally Patterson was ready to understand his logic. Tomorrow Owen Grady's death, his unfortunate and untimely death, would be one of the many gifts that nature had prepared for him.

Claire got to the raptors enclosure just by the time the last vehicle was leaving. She spotted the other ATV, but there was no sign of Owen. The rain was now like a solid wall of water, but at least it was warm. She had put the raincoat from the emergency bag to protect herself.

Not my brightness moment! – She mumbled to herself. – What are you doing Claire? Call for help and get the hell out of here! When I find Owen I AM GOING TO KILL HIM! Shit! - Claire almost tripped when she noticed it. Her blood froze. 3 feet in front of her there was a giant T-Rex print in the sand. Well, sand is not the proper term, everything has turned into mud. Even though the rain was pretty strong, she still could make the tyrannosaurs footprint.

But of course that damn thing is around! Normal people would not be chased by something that was supposed to be dead for 65 million years, but nooooooooooo! I hate this island.

Claire now was almost at the door. It was now or never. She grabbed the doorknob and pushed. She entered and noticed fade light coming from the last room down the hall.

Now or never, girl!

As she approached she heard his voice and almost screamed his name. But she heard the other people, maybe two or three, but all defiantly men. The discussion was heated and Claire immediately knew that Owen was in trouble.

You're good guys, really good! – Owen was sitting against the wall, rubbing his head in effort to reduce the shooting pain. – How long, ha? Six mounts or maybe even more? No wonder that Ingen was playing the "we messed up, now we want to help" card. Stupid, arrogant, narrow minded group of fools. Jerks!

Owen placed his head against the wall and kept on talking. For the two men it was nothing much, but Owen was just gathering every strength in his body, so he could take on them. If he was going to die, then let it happen this way.

The raptors are not just dangerous animals. The will kill everyone is their way. You, bozos, you are not gonna last even a day. How many millions will Ingen loose before you get it? I didn't know that Ingen was recruiting people with suicidal tendencies. You, boys, will die horrible, terrible death. But, hey, at least with your great sacrifice Ingen would have to drop the moronic idea and just give up.

The guards where laughing, they thought that Owen was just teasing them. If he had done it, anyone else could do it. They lowered their weapons enough, not being threatened by him. Why would they, he was alone and they were two, they were packed and he had nowhere else to go.

It took only a second for Owen to take advantage of their distraction. His attack was swift and vicious; he took at the closest to him guy and slammed him to the wall. The guy's head bounce from it and he fell face first on the ground. But the other guy was now aiming his gun at Owen.

Who's the idiot now?

Owen heart was going to rip his chest open, he felt little dizzy from the abrupt jumping and now he was probably going to be shot to death. Great!

Go the hell!

After you, Mister Grady!

He aimed his '22 at Owen's head and was ready to shot him when…

Hey, asshole! – Both Owen and the guard stared at Claire like they were saying a ghost!

No one gets to call him idiot but me! – Claire swung and hit the guard with a shovel right on the left side if his face. As a result of the blow, the guard's body slammed against the door frame until he finally dropped on the floor. Blood was gushing from both his nose and eyebrow.

These people never learn! – Claire made a snarky remark.

Claire, what the hell? – Owen was standing with genuine disbelieve on his face.

You ok?

What do you mean I am Ok? What are you doing here? - Owen was almost a kiss away from her, but he didn't go for it.

Saving your life! And you're welcome! – Claire didn't understand why he was acting like this.

I was fine. What if he had shot you, then what?

Excuse me; you call this „fine"? – Claire made air quotes with her fingers when she said fine.

Yes! – Owen hated to admit that is wasn't fine at all. - Maybe, ok, but still what are you doing here?

We need to talk!

Please don't tell me you came here to talk?

Yes!

For what? –

For something important!

Couldn't it wait?

No! – The first guard started to wake up.

Babe, I don't think it's the best time!

Owen grabbed the guns and the radios. He dragged the guards to the wall and went to Claire.

Look, these two are gonna wake up soon. I suggest you hold that thing you need to tell me little longer and just get the hell away from here, ok?

Ok! – Claire didn't argue much. Owen was right. – Owen, there is a storm raging outside. The radios won't work. These two are not going to be out for long and I am pretty sure the damn T-Rex in the neighborhood, the camp is 30 minutes from here and with this weather it will take at least two hours. I am not spending two hours outside, forget about it!

I know, I know! – Owen was getting nervous. The situation was bad. He could handle himself, but with Claire there she became his main concern. If something happens to her he won't be able to take it. He came up a plan.

Some of the old buildings are not far away from here. We will go there and wait for the storm to pass. These people don't even know about them. I think we will be safe there.

Great idea!

Are you surprised? – Owen smirked at Claire. – One of these days, Mister Grady, I will make you pay for all of this. – Claire returned the gesture and smiled to Owen with the most devilish smile.

I love when you call me Mister Grady!

Pull another stunt like this and you won't hear it again, are we clear! Things have changed Owen and so should you!

Claire walked pass Owen and headed to the door. Owen made sure the guards will stay there long enough. As he followed Claire to the door, her last words finally hit him- things have changed! – Even though he didn't know what, there was something different about Claire.

Only god knows why, but love you too, babe!

Owen only said it to himself, but soon he was going to say it to her. Very soon!
