Hearing Claire Dearing's name coming from Owen's mouth always seem to make Izzy's skin crawl. She still hasn't forgive Owen for going out with her during their last break up. She assumed that Claire Dearing hasn't fully forgotten about the time she almost kicked her ass, when she saw Owen and Claire together.
"Did you tell her that we can't do it because we're with OUR daughter?" Izzy asks, trying not to sound annoyed. "And that we have the weekend off?"
Owen tenses up a bit. "I did. I did."
"So what's the problem?" Izzy questions. She was trying her best not to yell at Owen.
"Mr. Masrani insisted that we, as in me and you, check a new dinosaur paddock." Owen explains.
"What new dinosaur? I never got any e-mail about a new dinosaurs," Izzy complains. "They usually send me e-mails about this."
"Actually they made a dinosaur." Owen states.
"Well duh,"
"No no they created a new species."
Izzy looks at Owen in disbelief as Gemma was silent looking back and forth between their conversation. Gemma nibbles on a piece of chocolate cover banana.
"A new species? They just made a new species of dinosaur?"
"That's what I said."
Izzy groans in disappointment. "I can't believe it…I just can't believe you made a decision without consulting with me."
"C'mon Izzy I told her it will only be for a hour,"
"What about Gemma? We can't just leave her here by herself." Izzy argues, getting the attention of several guest.
"Hun, keep your voice down." Owen said, his eyes gesturing at the guest that was staring at them. "Gemma is 15-years-old not 5. She can handle being by herself."
"You guys are fighting again," Gemma mumbles, picking at her food.
"We're not fighting," Owen said quickly. He looks over to Izzy. "Right?"
Izzy nods. "No we just have a small…disagreement." She blushes we Owen gave her cheek a quick kiss.
"We still love each other." Owen said.
While Izzy did still love Owen, she was still reluctant. She looks at Gemma. "Are you okay with this? You'll be alright by yourself for an hour?"
Gemma merely shrugs it off. "Yeah, it's not a big deal."
Owen and Izzy was escorted to the newly built paddock by a Jurassic World employee. The soon to be 'great' attraction was located a few miles away from the nearest attraction. However the two raptor trainers barely spoke a word to each other since they left Gemma. The employee who was driving them noticed the awkward silence and can feel the tension tries to do small talk with them. However, he all he got was two word sentences and he jut settle with turning on the radio.
"You know Gemma was lying," Izzy finally said to Owen.
"Yes I know," Owen agrees.
"You're just agreeing with me. You can't tell when she's mad." Izzy accused, crossing her arms.
"Izzy please," Owen sighs. "don't start. I wanted to spend time with Gem. I don't want her to resent me." He looks out the window. "If she already does."
Izzy felt a slight pang of guilt. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to get mad. It's just that when ever we have free time for Gem…it's like we have no time..."
Owen places his arm around her shoulder. "Hey now don't you start beating yourself up. I hate when you get this upset." He saw a couple of tears threaten to spill from her eyes and gently wipes them away with his thumb.
"I'm not upset," Izzy mutters.
"You don't have to be tough all the time." Owen told her. "This is our daughter not a pack of raptors."
"Actually taming raptors is easier than raising a teenage girl."
Claire Dearing was the Senior Asset Manager for Jurassic World. She was a very definition of an 'perfectionist', everything had to be right and in order. Claire needed to be in control. She felt out of control when Simon Masrani, CEO and Jurassic World owner, asked for Owen Grady and Isabel Perez. A few months ago, Owen had asked Claire on a date. She didn't know that Mr. Grady had recently broken up with his girlfriend. But their one time date was an complete disaster. He had the nerve to show up wearing cargo shorts like it was acceptable attire for a first date. Then he tried to get her to do those tequila shots. But those incidents was nothing when Claire and Owen was confronted by his ex-girlfriend. The woman was acting like a wild animal, spitting profanity in Spanish. Worst than the velociraptor, Claire thought.
She force herself to smile when the car that contained Owen Grady and Isabel Perez pulls up. Claire straightens up her work skirt, a bit anxious in seeing the couple.
"Mr. Grady." She greets Owen as he steps out of the car with Isabel following suit. " ."
"Ms. Dearing," Isabel said, her face doing a horrible attempt at a fake smile.
"Well then. We have been pre-booking tickets for months. The park needs a new attraction every few years." Claire explains as she shows them the entrance into the Idominus Rex paddock. "In order to regain the public's interest. Similar to the Space program."
"I see." Owen said.
"Corporate thought that genetic modification would up the 'wow' factor."
"They're dinosaurs. Wow enough." Owen argues.
"Not according to our recent focus group." Claire said. "The Idominus Rex makes us relevant again."
Both Owen and Isabel laughs at the name like it was the most feeble word she ever said.
"Idominus Rex?" Owen questions.
"Yes we wanted something scary and easy to pronounce." Claire informs. "You should here a four-year-old try to say 'Archaeornithomimus'."
"You hear yourself saying it," Owen mutters, earning a small laugh from Isabel.
The viewing room for the Idominus Rex paddock was pretty small, could possible fit up to fifty people when the attraction open. The paddock security guard was sitting in a rotating next to several monitors, which shows different areas of the Idomious Rex paddock. Claire had given Izzy her tablet to look over the Idomious Rex information such as diet, feeding times, behavior etc.
"So what's this thing made of?" Owen asks, looking at the inside of the paddock in-between glass windows.
"The basic gnomes of an T-Rex and the rest is…classified." Claire informs.
Owen looks at Claire skeptical. "You made a new dinosaur and you don't even know what it is?"
"The lab delivers us the finished asset result and we put them out for the public." Claire says. She looks at the security guard. "Can you have them lower the crane?"
He obeys her orders.
"It says here that two Idominus Rexes was bred." Izzy said. "What happened to the other one?"
"She ate it."
"How long has the animal been in captivity?" Owen asks.
"Most of its life." Claire replies.
"It hasn't seen anything outside these walls?" Owen questions, watching as the crane was lowering a large animal carcass into the paddock. "And you feed it with that?"
"We can't exactly walk it."
"She attack to workers?" Izzy said in slight surprise. She saw some of the cracks the hybrid had created on the viewing window. "These are some major red flags."
"What are you getting at exactly."
"Animals raised in isolation like this aren't always functional."
"Genetically modified hybrid like this tend to be unstable in a psychological sense. It's like a recipe for very aggressive behavior and cannibalism." Izzy informs.
"Your raptors were born in captivity."
"They're siblings. Teaches them social skills. Izzy and I imprinted on them." Owen explains. "That builds trust. The only positive relationship this animal has is with that crane. At least she knows it means food."
"So she needs a playdate?" Claire suggests.
"Probably not a good idea."
Claire goes to tap on the window a few times, in hopes of attracting the hybrid. "Where is it?" She looks deep into the paddock but she couldn't much because of the trees.
"Maybe it's downstairs. Or in the basement?" Owen said sarcastically. "Maybe it's in the rec room."
"It was here. It was just here." Claire said, sounding completely frustrated. She activated the thermal sensors. Each sensor came up with nothing.
"That's impossible." Claire mumbles.
"Holy..shot," Owen said loudly.
"What is-oh my god.." Izzy said.
On of the walls inside the paddock was all marked up with giant three-clawed gashes. It was hard to tell how long they had been there but if Claire hadn't seen the marked up wall the last time she was here…
"Has these claw marks been here before?" Owen asks Claire.
Seeing these marking, Claire had an uneasy feeling in her stomach. 'It couldn't have gotten out,' There had to been a reason why it wasn't showing up on the thermal sensors.
It climbed out.
Taking a deep breath, Claire forced herself to remain calm. "She has a implant on her back." Claire informs leaving the paddock view room. "I can track it from the control room."
Owen and Izzy, along the security guard for the paddock, enter the inside of the paddock. It was mostly silently but it still gave off a intimidating vibe. One worker was looking over the claw marks. Izzy, feeling not completely safe, stayed very close to Owen.
"This doesn't feel right Owen." Izzy admits.
"I know," His tone was serious. He presses his hand on one of the claw inflicted mark. It wasn't deep like he thought.
"This wall is forty feet in height," The security guard informs. "You really think she climbed out?"
Owen looks up at the wall. "That depends."
"Oh what?"
"What kind of dinosaur they cooked up in that lab." Owen replies.
"Owen," Izzy says, feeling over the claw marks. "These marks are slightly shallow. If she did climb out-"
"What do you mean if she did climb out?"
There was sudden static coming from within the paddock. It caught everyone by surprise. Owen and a Jurassic World worker looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. It came from the security guard's walkie talkie.
'Paddock 11 do you copy?"
"What's the problem?"
The voice was still static but this time more audible. 'It's in the cage! It's in there with you!'
"Go!" Owen orders. He, Izzy and a worker began running back towards the paddock viewing room.
The ground began to shake horrible that Izzy almost lost her balance. The trees was shifting and rustling by the movement of the I-Rex. Owen could hear it growling but he couldn't see where it was which made him run fast.
The I-Rex reveals itself by stepping in the way of the three humans trying to avoid being killed. Owen stop moving instantly for a brief moment before turning around and running the other way.
"Owen!" Izzy screams in his ear, probably not liking how Owen was pulling at her wrist. He could feel its hot breath close on his neck. Then he heard bones crunching and screaming. He forced himself not to look back, he just wanted to make sure he and Izzy was away from the damn thing. Owen would have carried her but decided against it.
The security guard was in full panic. He could hear the I-Rex eating the worker. When the gate started to open, he looks back at the two trainers running towards the exit and the I-Rex consuming what was left of the worker. He whimpers and slide his overweight body in-between the small opening.
Owen and Izzy kept running towards the exit with the I-Rex now in full pursuit of them. The ground shock with such violence with each step it took. It's roar felt like it broke the sound barrier. They manage to make it pass the closing gate but the Idomious was breaking through it so Owen had them both hide under a truck.
They watch as the Idominus rex was trying to sniff them out. The paddock security guard was basically hiding in front of a truck. Owen and Izzy watches as the Idomious Rex sniffed out the security guard and knocks the truck he was using as a hiding spot onto its side. He was slightly shaking and trying to keep still, in hopes that the hybrid wouldn't notice him. The Idomious Rex slams her mouth on the frighten security guard and literally swallowed him.
Izzy gasps. 'He didn't get the chance to scream.' Owen pulls out one of his knifes and cuts the tube attracted to the bottom of the truck. He dosed himself and Izzy what smells like gasoline to hide their scents.
The I-Rex made her way towards the truck Owen and Izzy was hiding under. She growls and sniffs, trying to find them. Izzy could feel and smell its hot rotten breath. She and Owen held hands and squeezed them tightly. After a few moments, the hybrid left leaving destruction in its wake.
