~~~~~~~~~~~~

We burst through old Jurassic Park gate and I smile when I hear Claire's boys laugh. In great speed we're getting closer and closer to the park and I hope Claire and Owen are waiting there as I told them. I wanted to call Owen but realized my walkie-talkie is gone and have nothing to contact neither Owen or Claire. 

"Alright, we are almost there. Soon you two will be safe with your aunt and.....my head probably chopped." I tell the two, mumbling the last part to myself and focused on driving, not noticing something behind us. That was until Gray spoke up.

"Go, go, go! Go!"

"Go!" Both Gray and Zach hit my seat and I look into back-mirror to see Pterosaurs flying right behind us, and it looks like they will be above us soon. 

"Oh, come on. You gotta be kidding me!" My foot hit the pedal and we go at full speed. Finally we see the gate and two guards on top of it, 'guarding'. Zach and Gray start screaming to them to open the gate and when they looked up to see what's coming from behind us, they open the gate and I drive through. 

I park up and we get out the jeep, right as sirens go off which means Pterosaurs are in the areal. It can't get any worse. Slidding my gun into my hands, I give the two younger boys a glance.

"Stay close to me and look for your aunt. They should be here somewhere." They nod and follow me squeezing and running between panicking people. It's hard to run, look for Claire or Owen, be careful and shoot those flying ones at once. At least we find Zara, who joined us looking for Claire and my bestie. Where could they be?

"Stop running!" Zara yell to us, well, to Zach and Gray as she tried to keep up with us in her stupid high heels I know Claire always wear. Wonder if she still has them on or gave up on them. Or she already broke a leg.

"Keep running!" I yell to them all. 

"Hey, wait!" Zach grabbed Gray and pulled him back, saving him from getting grabbed. I aim at the Pterosaur and shoot him, seeing him falling down into sleep. I could only take gun with sleeping darts but still does have smaller gun with bullets. Just in case.

"Don't just stand there!" Zara scream at the two brothers standing on one spot, although a Pterosaur grabbed her by shoulders, flying with her into air. They still aren't that much high so I aim and shoot, hitting him straight in neck and he goes down while letting go of Zara. When we thought she will land on ground, another one grabbed her but this time he flew above water, where is our Mososaur kept. Oh, no.

"Shit." I hiss and we ran to edge, watching as one wanted to lift Zara from the water. Before he could, Mososaur jumped from the water, snatching both Zara and Pterosaur in her mouth and disappearing under the water once again. I never was somehow close to Zara, hell I didn't even like her, but dying this way I wish to no one. Well maybe to Hoskins. 

"Move, you two!" I push both Zach and Gray and we run, avoiding bumbing into people which is like pretty hard when they're everywhere like ants. In distance I see more of the Pterosaurs falling down and cheer in my head that help finally came, even though there's not lot of them. 

"Come on!" I yell to the two brothers and we make our way to where they're shooting from, hoping Owen is there. As we run, me behind the two screaming kids, I catch something aiming it's way to us.

"Watch out!" Right before the Pterosaur could hit Zach or Gray, I push them off the way and we avoid getting grabbed. I ignore the pain from landing and shoot another one flying towards us.

"Aunt Claire!" When I'm helping Gray back onto his feet quickly, he point a direction and I look there, seeing Claire standing on top of a car and probably looking for her nephews. And she spot us, relief taking over her.

"Go!" I push the two forward and I notice Owen standing close to Claire, gun in hands. "Owen! Claire! O-!" Right as I want to yell Owen's name, a smaller Pterosaur fly into me, sending us to the ground and knocking my gun away. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!

"Ugh-! You stupid creature." It tries to bite my face, but my hands are keeping it as far from me as possible, which isn't much. One of my hands go to my belt, where I have my smaller gun and now I'm grateful it's there. I pull it out and aim at the Pterosaur's head, holding him with my other hand.

"Get off me!" A bang echo through the areal and I push the limp body of Pterosaur off me, spitting it's disgusting saliva which somehow managed to get onto my lips. Gross. I do love dinosaurs, but those flying ones are my least favourite. 

I stand up and look for the boys, seeing them watching Claire shoot a Pterosaur attacking Owen and then how he kissed her. I join the two brothers' side, watching my bestie and boss with crossed arms on my chest. The two pull away and when Claire notice us, she began running over.

"It's them. Zach! Gray! Jane! Oh my god! Thank god! What happened? What is this?" Claire grab Gray's face, checking him over and then Zach with tears filling her eyes. I stepped aside to avoid her scolding, for now, because I think she has a lot more to tell me than to her nephews. In the end they are still kids and I'm an fucking adult. Looks like I'm troublemaker until now. Instead I walk next to dazed Owen.

"Are you still sure you don't have hots for her?" It's like me speaking up snapped him from his love-gazing at Claire and turned to me, only now remembering I exist. Very kind of him. -_-

"Jay!" I have no time to respond because I'm brought into big bear hug, his grip tight. It's been not even two hours and he's hugging me like he hasn't seen me for ages. I manage to unstuck my arms and hug him around neck back, smiling into the hug. Alright, I missed him too.

"You idiot of woman!" Owen pulled away but still has good grip on my arms, like he's afraid I'd might disappear right here in front of him. "What were you thinking?! Going into jungle? All alone?! Are you crazy? You are lucky you are alive." And I hoped I can avoid scolding. 

"Geez, spare me from your scolding, please. There's still Claire to do that. Now give me another hug." I roll my eyes and give him grin. Owen chuckle and bring me into another bear hug. 

"Who's that with Jane?" I hear Zach ask from where he's standing with Claire and Gray, the two boys watching us instead of paying their attention to their sick worried aunt.

"Zach, Gray, I introduce you to my bestie, Owen, who is as it looks like now to be Claire's boyfriend." We walk closer to the trio so I can introduce them. My hand shot up with finger out to stop Claire from opening her mouth and scolding. "No, Claire, there's no time to be scolding my stupid ass. We have to go." 

Surprisingly she listened to my words with nod and we followed Owen, who's in lead. Claire dailed a number and he immadiately picked up, Lowery talking on the other end. 

"Lowery, I'm on my way back to you." She told him, holding her left ear shut so she can hear him better. I grew closer, enough to hear Lowery's voice.

"That's a bad idea. The board assigned emergency ops to Ingen's private security division. This guy Hoskins is in charge. And he has this insane plan to use the raptors to hunt down the Indominus." I frowned deeply, already planning how cruel will be Hoskins' death when i get to him. 

"Oh hell, no!" I rise my voice.

"What do you mean 'use the raptors'?" Claire asked loudly, getting Owen's attention who need only this sentence to grow furious. And I know he know who is Claire talking about.

"Son of a bitch!" he cursed, his features twisting into more furious than he's been till now. Helicopter flew above us, belonging to Hoskins' people.

"You shouldn't say 'bitch'." I caught Gray say from behind us before anger blinded me completely. Who does he think he is?! He has no fucking right to just call his minions, use Owen's raptors to kill MY Inza! My baby. I have been taking care of her for years, and I'm not gonna let some stupid, ugly guy with big ego kill her! I know it's probably only option how to stop this disaster, but I have to try and avoid it. There must be something else to do. I hope.

"Ugly stupid fucking piece of rodden shit! I will show him who's a fucking boss here! He's so dead." Along my way to a car I yelled my lungs out, not needing to turn around to know Claire's nephews wore worried expression for my anger and Owen agreeing with me in his head. 

I jumped into driver's seat, not a long after Owen jumping beside me and others in the back. Thankfully someone left the keys here and I can easily turn on the car. Like before, Gray and Zach are hitting my seat while saying to go and I stepped on the pedals, going backwards right as the gate opened with all tourists running through in attempt to get away from attacking Pterosaurs. I stopped once I pulled into alley, the five of us watching people running away. 

This was never supposed to happen, especially not again, but what was I expecting? A park with dinosaurs on island secured and safe all the time? I hoped after Jurassic Park they would have it better secured, prepared for EVERYTHING and knowing their limits, but no. In the first place I thought there won't be any park with living dinosaurs after what happened.

"This does not feel safe."

"Can we stay with you?" Zach said and Gray ask.

"I am never leaving you as long as you live." Claire's voice shook, her breath heavy from the rush of adrenaline and fear. 

"No, no, no, her." The two brothers are quick to fix themself and pat my shoulder, meaning me. Me? Are they sure they wanna stay with the one that attracts dinosaurs and trouble? Especially at this time? "Yeah, definitely her. And him." Alright.

I can't help and let the corners of my lips twist into small, amused smirk when Gray quickly added Owen into it and I turn my head to him, him looking already at me. 

"They like me moree~." I sing, cheering in my head for someone liking me more than Owen, especially kids. Laugh leaves me when Owen roll his eyes and flick my forehead. "Ow."

"Drive." I gave up on trying to bite his retreating finger that flicked me and stepped on the pedals once again, driving away.

🦖

Finally at Owen's raptors' paddock I stopped the car, not caring where and exit without bothering closing the door, Owen doing the same and we storm towards Hoskins. I started hating Hoskins since I meet him, and now he crossed the line. If I have to, I'll kill him myself no matter of they put me in jail then or something. 

"The mother hin has finally arrived." Right as Hoskins say that, Owen is the first to punch that smirk off his face, making Hoskins' head turn to side. 

"Get the hell out of here and stay away from our animals." Hoskins looked at Owen with glare.

"Who exactly do you mean when you said 'our animals'?" Hoskins asked harshly. That's when Owen stepped aside to reveal me and my fist connecting with Hoskins jaw and then stomach, this time making him bend from the pain. 

"His and mine animals, you piece of asshole." It took him a while to stand up to his full height and glare down at me, holding his twice punched jaw. I hoped it would be broken. 

"Hosking, you wanted this to happen, you son of a bitch!" Claire joined us and hissed at this stupid of man. Hm, I wouldn't say man. 

"Oh, jesus! How many more people have to die before this mission starts to make sense to you?" Hoskins hiss back into our faces when a familiar voice speak up.

"It's not a mission. It's a field test." All the anger I'm holding towards Hoskins, myself, to the whole world disappeared a little and my gaze softened when our black friend joined us.

"Barry." I breath out and with small relieved smile hug him around neck, feeling his arms around my body. "Thank God your alright." 

"You too, Jay." I hear him say back to me. At least one good thing we got and that's Barry is alright and no one tried anything. 

"This is INGen situation now." We pull back to face Hoskins again when he started talking. "Okay, there are gonna be cruise ships that show up here at first light. Everybody's gonna get off this island. You're gonna watch a news story tomorrow about how you all saved lives. no, better, how your animals saved lives." 

We all stayed quiet because we all know Hoskins is right in one thing. Inza has to be stopped, no matter what. According to them, I don't want Inza dead. She may caused a lot of trouble and killed a lot of dinosaurs and humans, but I just can't. Can't let her die. I was there when she hatched. I was there when she took first steps, the one who feed her and been paying attention to her. Just the imagine of Inza lying somewhere dead like Rexy in my nightmares is enough to make my stomach turn.

"They've never been out of containment. It's crazy." Barry commented when he saw the thinking look on Owen's face. 

"Let's move it out!" Hoskins yelled to his men then turned to us. "This is happening! With or without you." I glared back at him, praying to finally have his face away from me so I don't need to smell his breath.

We have no room to object and stop them so we can only go with them and that lead for us to stand in a room with table in the middle where Owen placed an opened map of the Jurassic World and pointed where we know Inza is.

"We know that she is in sector 5. This is a game we call hide-and-seek. It's a scent drill. We've done it about a thousand times with these animals." Owen explained the map to us, Hoskins' men and Barry standing around the table and listening to him. Unlike them I stood aside, leaning against a wall but still listening, though it's hard when thoughts are running through my mind. 

I know the situation already went wrong and shit happened, but I think that was only the beginning. I think it will only get worse. Still we have to try stop Inza somehow, unfortunately going by Hoskins' plan and use Owen's raptors. 

I can't believe so much shit happened in only one day, and almost exactly everything that happened at Jurassic Park, though I'd say this is worse situation. I still wonder what I put in myself years back and if Henry will be able to find something that can help us figure out what it was. 

What I know is I have special bond with dinosaurs, especially Rexy and Inza of course but that's because we worked on our relationship. Though apart from them, I don't remember a dinosaur that would try to kill me and almost done it. And when they tried or had the oppurity, they let me live. I hope I will be able to stop Inza without getting killed both of us.

Suddenly I remembered something when visiting Henry today and now I can't tell if I'm grateful or not because it may be already too late.

Inza is part raptor.
