A/N: And here we are to the next part. We're finally going to see what a team meeting is like in Jurassic World! Oh, the joy…

Constructive criticism is welcome. Just throwing that out there.

Also, attention, I have a tumblr blog where I post stuff (ideas and questions and thoughts and more) about this account. So… Follow me? The name is "stygianhazardff"

Disclaimer: I do not own Jurassic World or anything about it. I do love dinosaurs though.

It was just a normal day in Jurassic World. The sun was shining over the beautiful island, visitors were checking out the amazing attractions, workers were making their daily rounds, and Owen was still in possession of the Indominus Rex babies. Well, that part wasn't exactly normal. Owen wasn't supposed to be in possession of them. It was hard to tell if it was because of his insight or his luck that kept Owen from giving them back to the scientists right away. And elsewhere on the island, Vic's private security force was still searching the island tirelessly in order to find them. They weren't having any luck though, a fact that was pissing Vic off immensely.

"Goddamnit!" Vic yelled out suddenly. He threw his phone against the wall of the lab. Glaring at the pieces angrily, he huffed and turned to sit down.

Henry glared at him in irritation. Normally, he would have offered a sarcastic comment to Vic in response to the man's anger and his constant need to cause a mess in Henrys lab. At the moment, however, he figured it would be more prudent to keep quiet and watch carefully. The loss of the Indominus Rex was a setback. Still, it wasn't his fault. There was nothing for him to be worried about. The safety of the dinosaurs was Vic's department.

"What the Hell happened to those two monsters…" Vic muttered, staring angrily Henry's computers as though they had the answers he wanted.

Henry walked up, standing in-between Vic and the computers in case Vic decided to take out his anger on them next. While he did have backup files, he didn't want to have to wait for replacement computers to arrive.

On the screen in front of them, the genetic makeup and predicted stats of the Indominus Rex on display.

"How in blazes have we not found them yet?!" Vic asked.

"Wel-" Henry started to say.

"Rhetorical question, Doc," Vic said, cutting him off. "I'm just talking out loud here. You focus on your DNA shit."

"Need a remind you that it was because of me that they, no, that everything in this park exists?" Henry asked, gesturing to the relics around his private lab.

"You don't, you remind me and everyone else of that in regular conversation all the time." Vic rolled his eyes.

"Hmph," Henry went back to his desk in order to get back to work on his current project. "If you're done here, you can leave. Make sure to close the door behind you this time."

"Hold on," Vic sighed and stood up slowly. Cracking his neck, he made his way over to Henry and sat down on his desk. "Have you told Simon about the I-Rex situation yet?"

"Of course I have," Wu replied, glaring at Vic for sitting on his desk. His minimized the subject on his screen and pulled open his email. "I messaged him recently, I could only keep it quiet for so long. Any longer, and I would have been in trouble for covering it up knowingly."

"I suppose you have practice with that, considering what happened with Jurassic Park and all." Vic said snidely.

"It's a shame you weren't working here then." Henry said with a fake smile.

"True, I would've been able to handle things had I been there," Vic said, nodding in agreement. He completely ignored Henry's sarcasm. "It's a shame that they didn't ask me. But then again, I don't think I would've gotten along with old man Hammond. Simon is a lot more… agreeable."

"I suppose," Henry agreed. It was easier to work here in Jurassic World than it was in Jurassic Park. It was mainly due to the fact that Simon didn't stick around and check everything himself as John had. Due to that, it was far easier for Henry to experiment now than ever before. Sometimes, he was even told to. An order he greatly enjoyed following as he was able to do more than ever before with the creation of the Indominus Rex. "We're lucky that he's decided to give you some time to find them. Do you have any leads?"

"If I had any, I wouldn't be here." Vic replied snarkily.

"Then how about you go out and look for yourself since your lauded private security force isn't capable of finding two babies." Henry said.

Vic glared angrily at Henry for that. He opened his mouth to respond, but held back. It wouldn't do good to yell at him where others might be able hear him. So instead, he held it in, vowing to get back at the doctor for that comment later. Getting up without a word, he made his way out of Henry's private lab. He slammed the door open, kicking back as the door came back to make sure that it didn't slam shut behind him as he left.

Henry fought the urge to roll his eyes at Vic's childish behavior. For an apparent warmonger, the man was incredibly simple. Vic may not be childish like John Hammond had been, but he was definitely a child when it came to getting his way. If it weren't for the more interesting ideas that the man had, Henry wouldn't have bothered with him.

Pulling up the minimized window, he stared at it quizzically. It was certainly more interesting than his previous work. While most of the files dealt with animal and dinosaur DNA, this one was different. This file was detailing the theoretical union between dinosaur and human DNA.

Henry double-checked the current status of the project. It was still in progress. It would take a while to see some results since Vic had sent the samples recently. It would be interesting to see the next phase. But still, he would have to be patient. With any luck, the results would show quickly.

With that thought in mind, Henry sent the file as it was to his provider before erasing everything about the project. Getting up, he stretched and left the lab. He made sure to lock everything up behind him, even though it wasn't necessary. Everyone knew not to walk into his area. A few interns and other scientists had already been fired over that, after all.

"Doctor Wu!"

Henry turned and looked at the eager intern running towards him.

"Doctor Wu, the team meeting is about to start," The intern stated, trying not to look star struck as he stood in front of the lead scientist of Jurassic World. "Mr. Masrani has requested your presence there."

"He has?" Henry asked, inwardly a little displeased by this. The team meetings at Jurassic World were… interesting. He would rather not be a part of them. But it would be a bad idea to ignore a request from Simon Masrani, especially now. "Very well, I'll go there shortly."

"G-great." The intern nodded before quickly hurrying away.

"Kids." Henry muttered. At least the boy could follow orders.

As Henry left the labs, he instructed the other workers to not slack off and to have someone send up the files on the Mosasaurus. Chances were, Simon wanted him at the meeting to talk about it. Far be it from him to show up to the meeting unprepared.

"I am so fucking unprepared!" Owen groaned, quickly trying to fill in the reports as though he were a kid trying to finish his homework minutes before the class started. He hurriedly scribbled random notes and facts that he could recall happening this past month. A few times, he had to erase parts where he accidently wrote something that had happened with Frost or Gale.

The rest of the bungalow was a mess, more so than usual. It was to be expected, having a couple of hybrid dinosaurs running around. After waking up, Gale had thrown what Owen could only call a hissy fit. If he had to guess, he would say that she had been pissed off that she was left alone in the bed. Right now, it seemed that Gale was making up for it by staying within a few feet of him at all times. It would be endearing if it weren't for the glare on her face. It was hard to tell if that was just how she normally looked though. A default expression, maybe.

Looking back to his reports, Owen sighed tiredly. This wasn't going to go well. He may just have to wing it. He wrote a few more things down before deciding to just end it. This was most likely the best he could do. Anything else, he would just have to come up with it on the spot and present it. Luckily, he was really good at improvisation.

A few chirps alongside a dinging sound from the kitchen made Owen get up. Making his way over to the kitchen, he watched in bemusement as Frost was staring at the toaster with her mouth wide open.

"Is there anything that you two won't eat?" Owen asked rhetorically. While he was a bit astounded that these two would eat almost anything, he was also grateful. With them not having a special diet, he didn't have to go out of his way to get them special foods. Come to think of it, the Velociraptors didn't have much of a problem either with people food. Well, they do avoid vegetables. Gale also tended to avoid vegetables, unlike Frost. A fact that made Owen sure that the two girls had some differences in their DNA. It was kind of bothering him, seeing how different they acted when it came to the other. Sometimes, it seemed like Gale considered Frost prey. He always needed to keep an eye on her, just in case.

Frost looked up at him curiously. She chirped again, turning to look at the toaster expectantly.

Owen hummed thoughtfully and picked up the eggos he had prepared. He placed them on a plate before setting it carefully on the ground next to Frost.

Moving closer, Frost sniffed the food before opening her jaws wide to take a bite.

Gale walked up and bit into one, lifting it up in her mouth before walking out of the kitchen with it.

"Well ok then…" Owen sat down on the counter, watching the two of them eat curiously. It was plain to see from their movements and habits that they weren't completely identical. Owen took a few pictures on his phone, just as a reminder to look into it. The fact that they looked cute even while eating eggos had nothing to do with it.

As soon as Frost and Gale finished, they started to wander around the bungalow again. They were moving a bit sluggishly.

'Maybe I shouldn't have fed them so much so early.' Owen thought, following behind them to make sure they didn't run into anything.

Frost and Gale had moved back into his bedroom, jumping onto his bed and lie on a spot that was covered in sunlight. Blinking slowly, they both slowly started to doze off.

Owen watched them enviously. He wished he could sleep in too, but duty called. Speaking of duty, a quick glance at the clock showed him that he was running late. It was probably a good time to leave now. Grabbing what little amount of reports he had, he shoved them into his backpack unceremoniously and ran out of the door. He made sure to lock the door behind him this time, since now he had something inside of his bungalow that he didn't want to be taken. Or rather, he now had something inside of his bungalow that he didn't want to get loose.

Jumping on his bike, he started speeding towards the main building. Hopefully he would be able to smooth things over with management and Simon. It all depended on how the meeting went.

"Why should you get more money?!"

"My area needs the most help!"

"Aren't we forgetting the point?"

"I think the dinosaurs want to eat me…"

"I'm serious, someone literally asked me if we had any animals besides dinosaurs here. Can you believe that?!"

"If I hear one more dad joke, I might just kill myself."

"Does anyone else worry that today might be the day they're eaten by a dinosaur?"

"I think they can smell fear."

"The kids or the dinosaurs?"

"Both."

"Fuck this."

"I can't wait for Overwatch to come out tonight."

"Why are we here again?"

In all honesty, Owen should have expected the meeting to turn out this way. Most of the other meetings went a similar route. There was no reason to think this meeting would end any differently, even with Dr. Wu here. Speaking of the good doctor, he was looking a bit angry. That could just be how he normally looks though. The man seemed to always be unhappy unless he was messing with the genetic makeup of some creature. Owen smirked a bit at the thought.

"Is something funny, Mr. Grady?" Claire asked him, seeing the smirk on his face.

Behind her, Zara narrowed her eyes at Owen. She had warned him to not draw Claire's ire towards him. Shame on her though, she should have known that Owen was incapable of stopping that.

"Oh no, I'm just really enjoying this meeting," Owen said with a big smile on his face. "Might I add; I think that adding more dinosaurs to this deathtrap of an island is a great idea. Why don't we give one two heads?"

A few people perked up at this and looked at Henry hopefully.

Henry looked at Claire and shrugged. "I suppose if you want it, it is possible to do."

"No!" Claire said loudly. "Mr. Grady, do you have anything substantial to add to this?"

"Not right now, Claire." Owen glanced over at Simon.

At this point, Simon was smiling at the proceedings. It seemed like he didn't mind how insane it was. That was good. If Simon was in a good mood, it may help Owen out with his requests. If it didn't, it would at least soften him up a bit to compromise. Owen doubted that Henry would step in to stop him, since the man never cared about the finished results.

Claire bit her lip angrily, not amused by Owen's use of her first name in front of everyone. She would normally reprimand him. It wouldn't look good to do it here though, in front of the other team leaders. It would just look like she was whining. That was something she couldn't allow to be seen, considering her place in the park.

"Well, I suppose we should continue then?" Simon asked.

Immediately, everyone quieted down.

"Owen, I've read your reports," Simon said, looking over at Owen. "I must say, I enjoyed how short they were. Everything was clear and you only gave details when it was necessary."

"Thanks." Was all Owen could say in response. That wasn't what he had meant it to look like, but he would take it.

Zara fought not to smile at this, especially after seeing Claire fume silently at Simon's praise for Owen.

"So just keep up the good work," Simon said. "I'll have Vic send me updates for what I need to know. Have you figured out how trainable the Velociraptors are yet?"

Everyone turned to look at Owen after this question. It was something like a poorly kept secret about why Owen was on the island. While he may have been hired to conduct behavioral research on the Velociraptors, he was actually there through the security division in order to find out if they could be used for war. An order that, as time went on, Owen was starting to hate more and more.

"It's too soon to say," Owen said cautiously. He didn't want to rush things with the girls. However, at the same time, he didn't want to make it sound impossible or they may hire someone else. "They're still young. At the very least, they don't see me as prey. Whether or not this'll continue as they grow older remains to be seen. And that's the main point, right? To see if they can follow a human without eating them after they're fully grown? At this point, I'm too big for them. It will be easier to tell when they're older."

"I'm in agreement with Mr. Grady," Henry chimed in. "Only time will tell when it comes to that. I still think it's a foolish endeavor though. They're not normal animals. To believe otherwise would be a grave mistake."

'Emphasis on grave.' Owen thought morbidly. He was glad that Vic wasn't here to hear Henry's comment. Vic would have loved to debate about that. And right now, that debate was not needed. Owen would give anything to have this meeting end right now so he could leave. Well, after talking to Simon.

"Well, we'll wait and see then." Simon looked over Owen's report before turning to the report Henry submitted.

It was almost laughable, how different the reports looked. While Owen's was barely a page, Henry's was several. The Mosasaurus report had details, diagrams, and even rough sketches on it. At the same time, it was too much. No one completely read in. Instead, they skimmed it as best they could.

"So everything is on schedule for it?" Claire asked.

"Hey." Owen muttered under his breath.

"Yes," Henry nodded with a tight smile. "I'm confident that it will be on schedule."

"That's good. This park is long overdue for a water attraction." Simon said.

Several people spoke up in agreement.

"Owen; you trained dolphins during your time in the Navy, didn't you?" Simon asked. "I don't suppose you would be interested in helping with the Mosasaurus as well?"

"Um…" Owen fought to not yell out more immediately. Dolphins were one thing. A Mosasaurus? That was a whole new can of nope. "I'll think about it."

"Great!" Simon's eyes lit up with glee. He was taking that as a yes, apparently. "I'll let Vic know so we can work out the details later."

"Joy." Owen mumbled.

Off to the side, Zara stared at Owen with worry.

"Is there anything else to report?" Simon asked Claire.

"Well, the damage from the storm has finally been fully cleared." Claire said.

"The damage to the paddocks wasn't horrible," Nick added. "There's some issues with the new paddock though."

"We'll talk about that later." Simon said quickly.

Owen didn't miss that. Most of the others probably thought that they were talking about the Mosasaurus paddock. Owen knew that they got a new builder for that since it was an underwater structure. They could only be talking about the paddock for the Indominus Rex. A fact that bothered him since it sounded like it had been build up a bit. How come he hadn't seen it? All the areas were pretty near each other. It would be hard to miss a new paddock being built. Well, unless it was far away from everything else.

"Is there anything else anyone would to report?" Simon asked, looking around the room.

The worker near the back raised their hand.

"That doesn't involve the theory that dinosaurs understand human speech perfectly and are biding their time to take us over?" Simon said tiredly.

The worker slowly lowered their hand.

"Wonderful!" Simon got up and stretched. "Then this meeting is over. Good work, everyone. I will see you all in a few weeks."

Owen waited until everyone had left before running out after Simon.

Back in the room, Zara watched him quizzically. She would have said something, but Claire left through another exit and she reluctantly followed after her.

"Sir!" Owen called out after leaving the room.

Simon stopped and looked back at Owen in confusion. "I thought that we agreed you would call me Simon if I called you Owen?"

"Right," Owen nodded, remembering their first meeting. It was certainly a shock, considering he had only dealt with Vic beforehand. He had assumed that the owner of Jurassic World would be cut of the same cloth. Never had he been more glad to be wrong. "My bad, Simon."

"It's fine. So is everything alright?" Simon looked at Owen curiously.

"Oh, no! Not at all," Owen scratched his head nervously, unsure of how to continue. Maybe he should have thought this out beforehand. "It's just…"

"Just… what?" Simon asked.

"I have your Indominus Rex." Owen blurted out.

Well, at least he didn't stutter.

EXTRA

"Hey, Claire." Owen said.

Claire glanced at Owen.

"Claire?" Owen asked.

Claire huffed and gestured at Owen to speak.

"Why is this place called Jurassic World?" Owen questioned.

Claire was already regretting letting Owen talk.

"I mean… Velociraptors and T-Rex are from the Cretaceous Period, aren't they?" Owen asked.

Claire could feel the headache starting already.

"And a bunch of the other dinosaurs are from the Cretaceous Period as well…" Owen continued.

Claire really wished that Owen would shut up.

"So like… shouldn't this place be called Cretaceous World?" Owen asked, finally finishing his train of thought. "You know, to be more accurate."

Claire vowed that she was going to find a way to fire Owen one of these days.

A/N: To be honest, I was going to wait a lot longer to bring up what I did in the beginning. But thinking of it now, it didn't seem right. I thought that waiting too long would make it seem like it had come out of nowhere. So now I'm going to be putting more apparent foreshadowing than before. Let me know what you think.

In hindsight, I should have saved the board room meeting EXTRA for this chapter. Ah well.

Owen has told Simon. Now what will Simon do? And what will Vic do when he finds out?
