As we entered the park through a side dirt road, people were running every which way. My phone rang and I answered it.
"Claire, where are you?" I answered, slightly out of breath.
"I've spotted the boys at the west gate, I'm on my way to get them" She said
"Okay, stay with them when you find them. Don't go anywhere! We'll be right there" I assured
"Hey, get on!" Owen yelled and I turned to see him on a four wheeler. I hung up and shoved my phone back into my pocket.
I ran over to him and jumped on the back.
"Go to the west gate! Claire said she spotted the boys there!" I shouted over the noise of people screaming. I held on tight to his body as he sped off.
Once we got near the west gate we hopped off as ACU began deploying units with liquid tranquilizers.
I locked my glocks to my thigh holsters and grabbed a tranquilizer as Owen did and followed ACU to the main street. The birds were flying over head picking people up, and even stabbing people.
Once on the main street we met with Claire.
"Where are the boys?" I shouted as i fired the tranquilizers at the birds. Each shot was a perfect hit.
"They should be here!" She replied jumping on a table for a higher view. I covered her as she scanned the road, screaming for the boys.
I heard them in the distance calling for Claire.
I saw them and began shooting at the birds following behind them, but then heard Owen yell in pain. As Claire ran towards the boys, I looked over to see a dimorphodon on top of Owen trying to chomp on his face.
Adrenaline was pumping through my body and panic hit me as I automatically smacked the bird with the back of my gun. It let out a whimper of pain and I fired 5 shots at it. Owen rolled it off of himself and looked up at me in surprise and thankfulness.
I let my hand out of him and he grabbed it as I helped him up. In that moment he was standing over me and pulled me into him.
I love him and he loves me. Why am I so afraid?
"I'm pregnant!" I exclaimed without thinking, tears coming down my face.
His eyes slightly bugged out, then a smiled came across his face, all within a matter of seconds. He immediately pulled me in for a deep kiss while chaos surrounded us.
I pulled away to catch my breath.
"I love you and we can do this" He whispered, wiping my tear. I nodded but had no time to respond
"Julissa! Owen! Let's go!" Claire yelled from down the street. She was embracing the two boys, who were looking at Owen and I like they saw a ghost.
Owen and I led them as we made our way back to control. Claire got on the phone with Larry.
"Larry I'm on my way back to you" I heard her say.
A few helicopters went over head and you saw InGen plastered on the side of them.
"What do you mean he wants to use the raptors?" Claire asked into her phone. Owen and I looked at each other and then to the helicopters.
Damn, Hoskins!
"Son of a bitch!" Owen snapped
"You shouldn't say bitch" The little one, Gray muttered as we turned to hear banging from the doors that kept the public away from the employee lot we were in.
"Take the kids and take them somewhere safe" I said to Claire realizing a stampede of people and dinosaurs were about to burst through.
But it was too late. The doors bursted open. I pulled Owen and the kids towards the Benz behind us and reversed into an alleyway to let the rush through.
"This does not feel safe!" Zach exclaimed as we watched hundreds of people rush by
"Can we stay with you?" Gray pleaded.
"I am never leaving you as long as you live" Claire assured.
"No, no! Them!" Gray explained pointing at Owen and I.
I couldn't help but smirk as Zach agreed.
Once the rush went down I hit the gas and drove as fast as I could to the raptor paddock. We had to stop Hoskins.
"Stay in the car" Owen ordered Claire and the boys as we stepped out. Owen at a quicker pace and I saw a fist forming as we walked towards Hoskins.
"The mother hen has finally arrived!" Hoskins said with a proud grin but before he could get any more out Owen punched him so hard in the face doubled back and grabbed his jaw.
His team began walking up to us.
"Get the hell away from here and stay away from my animals" Owen said in anger.
"Hoskins you wanted this to happen, you son of a bitch" I snapped.
"Oh jesus, how many more people have to die before this mission makes sense to you guys?" He snapped back.
"This is not a mission. This is a field test!" Barry exclaimed, walking up.
"This is an InGen situation now. There are going to be cruise ships that will show up at first light and everyone is getting off this island. You're going to watch a news story tomorrow about how you all saved lives, no better yet, how your animals saved lives" Hoskins yelled.
Owen looked conflicted from Barry to me.
"They've never been out of containment" Barry said
"And they'll be seeing a lot of this for the first time" I added, not sure if it was the best idea.
"It's crazy!" Barry said as Hoskins shook his head.
"Let's move it out!" He yelled at his men.
I heard the distinct shrill of the girls' voice.
"This is happening with or without you!" Hoskins said. He began to walk away.
"If we have no choice its better that you lead the pack. You are the alpha" I said to Owen.
"She's right Owen. If you want any chance of survival for the girls, you had to lead them" Barry encouraged.
The next few minutes Owen was debriefing Hoskin's men on how to approach and attack the I. Rex once the Raptors have herded her. He pleaded that they not shoot the girls.
I walked over towards the girls as they were in harnesses with the tracking device over one of their eyes. They were agitated and scared.
I was cooing and calming down delta, then echo, and charlie, while Owen focused on Blue.
"Owen! Dr. Parker" I heard Gray's young voice call out. We turned around to see him and his brothers on the other side of the bars.
"Are they safe?" He asked.
"No, no where near safe" I said
"What are their names?" Zach asked
"Well, we have Charlie, Echo, Delta, and this pretty girl here is Blue. Blue is the beta" I explained gently stroking Blue and she cooed.
"Who's the alpha?" Gray asked
"You're looking at him kid" Owen replied with a small smile making me smile.
While Claire pulled the boys to the side to find a safe spot for them, I began double checking my guns.
"Julissa, you're staying with Claire and the boys" He said.
"No, I'm not" I said, knowing this was going to happen.
"I can't handle you being out there" He said turning me around to face him.
"I will be fine. I've been find since this shit show started" I said clicking my gun together.
He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I love you and I-I can't-what if something happens to the both of you?" He whispered stepping closer to me. I looked up at him and realized he was worried about the baby.
"I love you too. I'm not leaving your side. We'll be fine" I assured softly as I rested his hand on my slightly raised belly. His clammy hands were comforting against my skin.
He was about to protest but Barry called us both as Hoskins began to call his mean for action.
"Stay close to me and don't do anything stupid" He said sternly. I gave him a salute and we both ran towards Hoskin's men.
Owen walked to the girls and had each one sniff the I. Rex's tracking implant.
Getting into position, Owen lead the group on his bike. Behind him, Barry and I flanked him on four wheelers. I was on his right and Barry on the left. The Ingen men followed behind. Owen looked back at me and I nodded. He looked up at the new kid and nodded. THe kid pushed a button and the doors for the raptors opened. The girls took off towards the jungle and we followed behind closely.
After about five miles in the girls began slowing down.
"Owen they are slowing down"! I yelled.
"They got something!" Owen said into his voice transmitter.
The girls came to an opening and stopped. Owen stopped his bike and put his hand up to signal for everyone else to stop and get ready.
I jumped off my four wheeler and pulled out my guns.
I took position next to Owen as we propped up against an old fallen tree. We watched the girls look around.
That's when branches began snapping. The I. Rex appeared and I lost my breath for a second.
This is bad. This is going to be bad. I thought and i released the safety off of my guns.
And I was right. The girls began communicating with the I. Rex. I lowered my guns in shock and looked at Barry and he was just as in shock.
"Something's wrong. They are communicating" I whispered to Owen.
"I know why they wouldn't tell us what it's made of" Owen said
"Why?" Barry asked.
"That thing is part raptor" I finished for Owen.
All four girls suddenly turned around and locked their target on Owen.
"Oh shit" I muttered.
I heard Hoskins yell for his men to light it up over an intercom and one of the men yelled "Engage" and immediately shots were being fired.
I shot at the I. Rex, but she and the raptors ran away.
Someone fired a m14 at her and she fell to the ground as trees caught on fire.
We stopped and stood up to see the damage, but she got up and ran. We fired more rounds until she disappeared.
"Watch your six! Raptors got a new alpha!" Owen shouted as we moved forward. I stayed near Owen as we slowly made our way forward.
But the girls were sneaky. They were jumping out and attacking each of Hoskin's men.
Owen and I stopped as we heard branches. Suddenly Echo's head popped up. I lowered my guns as Owen did as she tilted her head, recognizing us.
It was too late though, an M14 was shot at her and exploded, causing us to be thrown back and incinerated Echo.
Owen grabbed me and propped me up against him and we looked towards Echo. She was no more and for the first time you saw pure sadness in Owen's eyes. His hands were trembling as he realized he just lost one of his prized babies.
"We have to keep moving, Owen" I said softly but with urgency, pulling him up.
I felt a sudden cramp in my lower stomach and hid my pain from Owen as we ran. I jumped on the back of bike. We were about to go, but heard Barry screaming. I looked over and saw Blue digging into a log, trying to get Barry.
Owen revved his engine and I whistled to get her attention. She saw us and lunged towards us, leaving Barry alone.
She followed us but we out ran her.
Getting back on the main dirt road, we wound up behind the truck Claire and the boys were in. The boys shouted in excitement as they saw us and we pulled next to Claire.
"We have to get indoors! Follow us!" I yelled at Claire. She nodded as we sped up.
We got to the main part of the park and ran inside towards the control room. Passing the lab we stopped.
"They evacuated the lab" Claire said softly. We went in towards the back that was blocked off from the public. Inside were mutated creatures on on computers were mutated dinosaurs. Some ingen men came in and took eggs.
"What are you doing?" Claire asked
"I'm afraid that's above your pay grade, honey" Hoskins said, appearing.
"Where's Henry?" I asked
"Dr. Wu works for us now." Hoskins said
"That's not a real dinosaur" Gray piped up pointing to a monstrous creature on the computer.
"No, it aint kid, but somebody has to make sure this company has a future. Imagine that one, a fraction of its size, deadly, intelligent, able to hide from the most advanced military technology. A living weapon unlike anything we've ever seen. You see millions of years of evolution, what did we learn, Dr. Parker? Nature is the gi-"
Hoskin's rant was cut off by delta's screech. She came out of nowhere from behind us.
"Oh shit!" Hoskins yelled as Owen and I pushed Claire and the boys back.
Delta had Hoskins as a target. He tried cooing her and bargaining with her. But she wasn't having it. He stretched his hand out, thinking if Owen could do it that he could.
But Delta knew better. She chomped down on his arm and he screamed a blood curdling scream as she ripped him to shreds. I pushed the boys towards the exit.
"Go!" I screamed
We ran down the glass hallways but stopped when Delta ran through the glass. Claire shrieked and we began running the other way as Delta tried to regain her footing.
She chased us through the indoor park and we ran outside and down the stairs, but were met and trapped by blue, charlie, and delta.
They herded us. My heart dropped as the girls began their intimidation techniques.
