Ashley POV:

When I woke up the next day the sun was shining in my eye. I got out of bed and got dressed in a pair of cargo pants, a green cami, and a pair of black sneakers. I also wore the necklace my father had given for my 16th birthday. I went downstairs and saw that dad was still asleep so I decided to make him some breakfast. I made pancakes and bacon. This was his favorite thing to have for breakfast and I knew that if I wanted him to take me with him, so I could join the team, I needed to butter him up a little.

I walked into his room and kissed him on the forehead.

"Daddy wake up."

"Hi sweety," he then noticed the food, "okay what are you up to?"

"What makes you think I'm up to something?"

"I know you better than anyone. Now what do you want?"

"I want to… join your team!" I said quickly.

"No, no, no absolutely not! I don't want you anywhere near this!"

"Dad I can't protect myself if I don't know what to expect, you know that."

"I don't care you aren't getting anywhere near it, do you hear me young lady!?"
"Do you really want me to find a way to sneak in, because you know I can dad."

He knew I had him there. "Fine you can come, just don't be surprised if you get a cold welcome."

"Thank you daddy!" I kissed his cheek and ran to get my bag. I got back downstairs and he was waiting by the door keys in hand. We got in the car and then we were off.

-TIME SKIP-

We arrived at the ARC and we stopped by a military man holding a gun. Dad gave the man an ID and told him that I was with him. The man demanded to see my license after I handed it to him we were allowed in. We walked into the building and my god it was huge. My friend Jackson would have a field day in here. The dude was a wiz with computers. Anyway moving on, we walked into a gigantic room and my eyes almost popped out. There were machines everywhere. I changed my mind Jackson would have died of a heart attack if he saw this place. "Is it everything you imagined?" Dad asked me.

"I feel like at any second an alien is just going to walk in front of me" I replied.

Dad laughed and said it would probably be a dinosaur before it would be an alien. We walked up to a group of people and I noticed one of them was Stephen. They group turned around and most of them stood wide-eyed at me standing next to my dad. Stephen however shook out of his stupor first and gave me a hug.

"Stephen I can't breathe could you put me down please?"

He put me down and looked at my dad with questioning eyes. My dad raised his eyebrow and said, "It's Ashley you know she would have found a way to get here anyway."

A guy wearing a hat cleared his throat and asked my dad who I was and how Stephen knew me. "Sorry everyone, this is my daughter Ashley.'

Everybody's mouths were all open. I couldn't resist myself and laughed at their identical expressions. "You might want to close your mouth before you eat a fly. Just a thought." I said.

They immediately closed their mouths before they could see another word a phone went off. My dad answered my phone when he was done he told everyone to head to the mall, there was a sighting. My dad was adamant that they use tranqs instead of killing the dinos. He pulled me aside and asked if I was sure I wanted to continue. I told him I was going to keep going no matter what happened. He smiled, gave me a gun, and we headed off.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while I've had other things on my mind.
