Me and Owen soon arrive at the new dinosaur enclosure, we were meeting Claire outside. The paddock did look pretty amazing but there was a construction building more of it which confused me why they even needed this but I didn't say anything knowing if I said something other than ' oh how exciting ' with a fake smile I would get fired or something.

" We have been pre-booking tickets for months," Claire starts to explain as she leads us towards the paddock, walking in front of us. " The park needs a new attraction every few years in order to reinvigorate the public's interest; kind of like the space program."

Claire continued as we walk up the stairs. " Corporate left genetic modification would up the wow factor."

" They're dinosaurs," Owen said while rolling his eyes. " Wow enough."

" Such wow." I comment and cross my arms over my chest.

" Not according to our focus groups." Claire told us. " The Indominous Rex makes us relevant again."

Owen starts laughing and I couldn't help but giggle as well. " The indominous Rex?"

I could just tell Claire was rolling her eyes while she said, " We needed something scary and easy to pronounce." once we get to the top she turns around and faces the both of us.

" You should hear a four-year-old try to say ' Archaeornithomimus.' " Claire said.

Me and Owen share a look. " You should hear you try to say it." Owen commented and I let out a small laugh as we follow Claire inside.

We follow Claire over to the large windows and I stand between her and Owen.

" So, what's this thing made of?" Owen asks her.

" The base genome is a T -Rex. The rest is classified." Claire answers.

I scoff. " Of course it is."

She looks over at us and as I glance at Owen he had an annoyed look on his face. " You made a new dinosaur and you don't even know what it is?"

" The lab delivers us finished assets, and we show them to the public." Claire told him and looked back at the window.

" Can we drop a steer, please?" she said to the security guard.

I look over my shoulder seeing the guard nodding and pressed a button. " How long has the animal been here?" Owen asks and I look back at the window.

My eyes widened as Claire said, " All its life."

I turn to look at her. " That's awful keeping it trapped here. It's an animal of some sort." Claire rolled her eyes and ignored my comment.

" Never seen anything outside of these walls?" Owen speaks up and Claire shakes her head. " We can't exactly walk it."

" And you feed it with that?" Owen points to the steer that was being brought inside of the exhibit. Claire looks over at Owen. " Is there a problem?"

Owen scoffs. " Animals raised in isolation aren't always the most functional." I nod in agreement. " Exactly what I was trying to say."

Claire rolls her eyes. " Your Raptors are kept in captivity."

Owen turns to face her. " With siblings. They learn social skills. And I imprint on them when they're born. There's trust."

Claire looks over at me. " Well, what about you? Phoenix is alone."

I nod. " That's true but almost always someone is with him."

" The only positive relationship this animal has is with that crane." Owen points at the crane. " At least she knows she needs food."

" So, she needs a friend. We should schedule play-dates? That sort of things?" Claire asked and it was clear she was annoyed as she walked up to us.

Me and Owen share a look. " Probably not a good idea." Owen says and puts his hands on his hips.

Claire leans forward and taps on the glass. " What are you doing now?" I ask with a raised brow.

" Where is it?" she questioned and now that I thought about it, she should've showed herself by now. Something must've happened. But what?

" Is it in the basement?" he asks sarcastically. " Is there a downstairs? Maybe it's in the rec room."

I cover my mouth to stifle my giggle. Claire shakes her head. " It was just here. We were just here."

Me and Owen step back as Claire walks over towards the panel on the left by the guard as Owen walks over to the right but I stay standing where I was.

Claire presses some buttons but an error noise appears and I look over at the security screens that showed the inside of the enclosure. The four of them showed there was an error.

I look over my shoulder seeing Owen looking at something so I go over to stand besides him and my eyes widened. " Woah."

" Were those claw marks always there?" Owen asks and points towards the claw marks as he looks back at Claire and the guard.

Claire walks over to us with wide eyes. " Do you think it..." her voice trailed off and it actually sounded like she was scared.

" She has an implant in her back." Claire says as she walks out of the room to the control room, her heels clicking loudly against the floor. " I can track it in the control room."

Me and Owen share a look. " Where do you think she is?" I ask as we both look back at the claw marks on the side of the building.

" She could be anywhere by now." Owen says as I look over at him." Let's just hope she hasn't killed anyone yet."

" We should go in there and check it out." Owen said as he looked back at the window.

My eyes widened as I looked at him." Are you crazy or are you asking for a death wish?"

Owen rolled his eyes. " Oh, come on. We will be fine. There's no harm in looking." he said as he starts walking to the door that you walk in to the enclosure.

I quickly walk over to him so I am now walking besides him. " There's is harm in looking if she hurts us."

We get permission by the security guard and he lets us in the enclosure. Owen walks over to the claw marks on the wall and I follow him. He places his hand on the claw marks before taking a step back to stand besides me.

" That wall is 40 feet high." he says as we look up at the wall. " Do you really think she could have climbed up that wall?" the security guard asked.

" It depends." Owen said and I nod in agreement.

" On what?" the security guard questions as he looks at us. " What kind of dinosaur they cooked up in that lab." Owen says.

I turn around, hearing a voice over the announcement system but it sounded staticky. " Paddock 11. Paddock 11, do you copy?"

I hit Owen's shoulder to get his attention and he looks over at me.

" What?" he asks. " Listen." I tell him.

The security guard holds his walkie talkie. " It's in the cage! It's in there with you!" one of the workers that were in the control room yells.

" Go!" Owen yells as me and Owen share a worried look before we take off running back to the door, gesturing for the security guard and worker to follow us.

We stop running when a foot appears in front of us and my breath hitched as I looked up to see the Indominous Rex and I felt like my heart rate was never going to slow down.

Owen grabs my arm, pulling me back behind him as she lets out a roar. Owen pushes me in front of him as us and the worker start running away from the I-Rex. I wince but I don't turn back as I hear the worker yell knowing that the I-rex got him and I keep running faster.

I watch as the security guard puts his hand on the scanner and presses in the password that opens the door.

" Owen, come on! We can make it!" I yell as I look over my shoulder to see him right behind me but the I-Rex was right behind us.

I look back at the door seeing it was closing. " Stupid automatic doors!"

" Go, Alex!" he pushes me towards the door once we got close enough and I stumble out of the enclosure with him right behind me.

I quickly move out of the way so he wouldn't run into me and as he runs past me he grabs onto my arm and pulls me with him under a nearby car as the I-Rex gets caught between the door and the wall but we both knew she would get out.

Owen wraps his arm around me as we lay on our stomachs on the ground, watching the I-Rex closely and try to stay as quiet as we can as she walks by.

We slowly move to the side as the I-Rex walks around so we can keep a eye on it and see the security guard hiding behind one of the trucks the I-Rex was near and I feared for the worst.

I would've gasped as the I-Rex grabs the truck and throws it to the side if it wasn't for Owen who covered my mouth with his hand to keep me quiet. He takes his hand off of my mouth once he knows I'll stay quiet and I couldn't help but instantly move closer to Owen as the truck lands right in front of us and he wraps his arms around me, shielding me with his body.

He lets go of me and we move back on our stomachs so we can see what was happening as we look through a whole of the truck where the security guard and the I-Rex was.

My eyes widened and my heart beat quickened as the security guard was picked up by the I-Rex. I roll onto my side as I watch Owen take his pocket knife out and cut one of the pipes and I realize that he was trying to cover his scent.

" Smart move." I say barely above a whisper and he slides over, pulling me with him making sure that I was covered in oil as well.

I look over my shoulder seeing the I-Rex walking back around and my eyes widened as I realized she was making her way towards the car we were hiding under and I laid back on my back as Owen was doing and held my breath. I didn't dare to look over as I could feel the breath of the I-Rex on my left side. I just knew from now on I would have nightmares about this.

I jumped as I felt something on my hand and my heart rate slowed down realizing it was Owen's hand intertwining with mine.

He squeezed my hand, his way of comforting me in the situation we were in right now. I held onto his hand tightly as the moments go by with the I-Rex right next to me and I try not to jump as I hear the loud thump of her feat land beside me as she walks away.

Me and Owen let out a breath of relief once we think the I-Rex is gone and lay our heads back on the ground.

" And you said that there was no harm in looking." I said as I looked over at Owen to see him give me an annoyed look. I look down at our hands that were still holding onto each other tightly.

" Um, you can let go now." I say as I look back up at him and it was as if he realized we were still holding hands.

" Oh, r-right. Yeah, sorry." he says as he quickly lets go of my hand and slides out from under the car and I follow him.

Me and Owen into the control room a few minutes later.

A man in a suit walked up to us. " Sir, Miss, I need to see a badge." we ignore him and continue walking in the room and you could tell we were both angry.

I look over at my aunt. " Claire, what happened out there? We almost died!" I yelled at her as I gesture to me and Owen.

Me and Owen continue walking in the control room. " There are thermal cameras all over that paddock." Owen says angrily as the man in the suit stops us from going any further but Owen pushes him away. " She did not just disappear!"

Claire sighs as she turns around to face us. " It must have been some kind of technical malfunction." I roll my eyes and cross my arms. " Was it a technical malfunction when she was trying to kill us?"

She ignores my comment as Owen says, " Were you not watching? She marked up that wall as a distraction. She wanted us to think she escaped!"

Claire looks at him. " Hold on. We are talking about an animal here."

I nod. " Yes, that's true but she happens to be a highly intelligent animal."

" 400 meters to the beacon." one of the control workers says and we all look at the screen.

My eyes widened as I noticed the guns the men were carrying. " You're going after her with non-lethahs?" Owen asked the question I was thinking.

" We have $26 million invested in that asset. We can't just kill it." Masrani tells him as he looks at Owen.

" Then you might as well say goodbye to those men." I say and cross my arms.

" 300 meters to the beacon." the girl worker speaks up. I look over at Claire. " Please, Claire, you need to call this mission off."

Owen nods in agreemet. " You need to call it off right now."

" You are not in control here!" Claire yells at us and I sigh as I look at the screen. " Bye-bye men."

My eyes widened as one of the men picks up something. " Is that..." my voice trails off as I look over at Owen who nods. " That's her tracking implant. She clawed it out."

" How would it know to do that?" Claire asks as Owen walks to stand in front of us. " She remembered where they put it in."

I wince as the I-Rex picks him up and then slams him to the ground and soon he's dead. From then on it gets worse. The I-Rex starts killing each of them.

I bit my lower lip. " I hate to be that person but," I look over at Claire as she looks at me. " I told you so." Owen turns around and looks at Claire. " Evacuate the island."

Claire shakes her head. " We'd never reopen." I sigh in realization as I slump my shoulders. " Maybe that's a good thing."

" You made a genetic hybrid, raised it in captivity. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. She will kill everything that moves." Owen walks over to stand in front of the desk that was in front of us.

Masrani looks at us. " Do you think the animal is contemplating its own existence?"

Me and Owen share a look. I look over at him. " I'm not so sure you would want her to figure her place in the food chain out."

" Now, Asset Containment can use live ammunition in an emergency situation. You have an M134 in your armory." Owen says and his voice gets louder with each word. " Put it on a chopper and smoke this thing!"

" We have families here. I'm not gonna turn this place into some kind of war zone." Claire speaks up and for once I would have to agree with her. I don't want the boys to get hurt.

 " You already have." Owen tells her.

Claire sighs. " Mr. Grady if you are not gonna help there's no reason for you to be in here." I watch as Owen angrily knocks something off of the desk before walking to the door.

I look at Claire disappointingly before following Owen. I stop for a moment as Owen leans over to Masrani and says, " I would have a word with the people in your lab. That thing out there, that's no dinosaur."

I follow Owen as he walks to the elevator. I bit my lower lip nervously as the elevator closes. " I need to get my brothers." I look over at Owen seeing that he was already looking at me. " I don't even know where they are. They could be anywhere on the Island."

He smiled at me and somehow that smile calmed me down. " Don't worry, Alex. We'll find them. I promise."

Once we get out of the building Zara, Claire's assistant, runs up to us. " Alex! Do you know where your brothers are? I haven't seen them. I don't know where they went. I've been looking everywhere for them." she started talking at a million miles per hour and my eyes widened.

" Zara, whoa, slow down. Take a deep breath." I tell her and she does. I glance over at Owen before looking back at her. " Now, tell me what you just said, but slower."

" I don't know where the boys are." Zara said but it still sounded rush and my heart beat quickens as I share a look with Owen before looking back at her.

" Don't worry, we'll...we'll find them. Thank you for looking for them." she nods and walks off. I take my phone out of my pocket.

" Are you calling them?" Owen asks and I nod as I pull up Zach's number. " Hopefully he answers." I mumble nervously as I bring my phone up to my ear while it rings.

It's a minute or two until I hear Zach's voice. " Hey, Alex. What's up?"

I let out a breath of relief. " Is Gray with you?"

" Yeah, were riding the Gyrosphere. Why'd you ask?" Zach asks and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as I have trouble hearing Zach since he was starting to sound staticky.

" Zach?" I ask and I hear him speak but I can't understand what he's saying and that only makes me panic more.

A beep goes off and I look at my phone seeing the line went dead. I look up at Owen worriedly. " We got cut off. I'm gonna tell Claire, maybe she can send people out there to look for them."

I call Claire and a few seconds later I hear her voice and she sounded worried and panicked." Alex! Are the boys with you?"

" No. Zach said they were on the Gyrosphere. Claire, you need to send people out there to get them or do something to get them. Please." I say and it's only then I realize how desperate I sound but this is an emergency.

" Okay, don't worry. We will find them." Claire says before she hangs up. I put my phone back in my pocket and look at Owen. " Claire is gonna send some people out to look for them."

Owen smirks as he wraps an arm around me. " So, what I'm hearing is that we have time for ourself?"

I roll my eyes and shove his arm off of me even though my heart beat was beating faster because of how close we were and I was sure I was blushing so I look away from him. " We - we should be looking for them. They're out there all alone. Owen, they're just kids."

Owen places his hands on my shoulders to get me to look at him. " Hey, calm down. We can go look for them ourselves. I promised you we would fine them, didn't I?"

I nod. " Yeah, you did, but..." he shakes his head and interrupts me. " We're gonna go find them. C'mon." he said and leads me to one of the cars.
