Ian Malcolm x Dr. Grant's Daughter

Shutting Down the System

~Readers pov ~

I have been sitting there in the control room for a while with everyone Muldoon decided to join us after an hour.

He told Hammond he was going to go see if anything happened to the Raptor Paddock.

I was still by Ian's side I didn't want to leave his side ever and I mean't it.

I over heard Arnold and Hammond arguing.

They were arguing about shutting off the system and rebooting it.

I wasn't on board with this idea either in my head.

Because for one you have to run across the park just to reboot it and who knows what else escaped from its enclosure.

"You can get someone else to do it because I won't do it" Arnold said.

Hammond looked annoyed.

"Shutting down the system is the only way to erase everything that Dennis has done" Hammond said.

Arnold puffed some smoke from his cigarette.

"Yes but we have never shut down the system and we don't know if it will come back on at all or not" Arnold explained.

"Will we get the phones back?" Ellie asked.

"Yes and the lights and-"Arnold started to say.

I looked up to Ian and held his hand.

He kissed my head he knew I was scared of what was happening around us.

"People are dying!" Hammond yelled.

Everyone went silent.

"Will you please shut down the system" Hammond said calmly.

Arnold got off his chair and went over to a power box that was put into the wall and unlocked it with a key.

He started to turn the switches.

Ellie and Muldoon got their flashlights turned on.

The lights turned off.

"Hold onto your butts" Arnold said and he flipped a red switch.

Everyone was still silent.

All you could see was the light from the flashlights in the background.

A small beeping sound could be heard from a computer.

Arnold walked towards it and sat down in a rolling chair.

"See that look it's on it worked " Arnold said.

Ian sat up a little.

"Wait wait what do you mean it worked everything is still off" Ian said as he sat back down carefully.

"Well maybe the shutdown took down the circuit breakers all we have to do is turn them back on and reboot a few systems in here. Like the security system and the phones and maybe a few dozen but the system is ready" Arnold explained.

"Where are the breakers?" Muldoon asked.

"Maintenance shed at the end of the compound in 3 minutes I can have all the power turned back on in the park" Arnold explained.

"Now just to be safe I want everyone in the emergency bunker until Mr. Arnold returns we will remain there" Hammond suggested.

We all agreed to this.

I stood up slowly and started to limp slowly.

I tripped a little but Muldoon caught me.

"Watch yourself we don't want anymore injuries" Muldoon said as he held me by the waist it stung like hell.

He took notice and put me up right.

Ian was put in the wheelchair I was using before I got out of it.

Ellie pushed him through the door but Hammond was in the front of all of us mostly because he knew where the emergency bunker was not even Muldoon knows.

We all didn't want to get lost.

Arnold already left to go to the Maintenance shed across the park.

As we walked I still wondered if dad and Lex and Tim are alright like are they even still alive?

I started tear up a bit.

We were about to pass the rest rooms I decided to excuse myself for a minute or two.

"Can you guys give me a moment I need to go to the bathroom " I said.

"Sure dear go on ahead" Hammond said.

"Go on ahead I will catch up" I said as I walked into the restroom and everyone else continued on.

As I walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror I took notice that my eyes were already teary.

I missed my dad dearly like really badly.

"D-dad please be a-alright..." I stuttered to myself as I started to cry.

It has already been a minute and I took notice that everyone must be worried that I haven't caught up.

I quickly cleaned my face just so that way I don't look like a mess I know the lights were off but I borrowed Muldoons flashlight.

I sighed as I walked out of the bathroom and I forgot and wondered which way they went.

"Hello?" I yelled.

No answer.

I was starting to get scared.

Did they all just leave me behind?

I did notice that I was in the front part of the Visitor Center I decided to go with my gut and go through the front door to the open air.

This place was a total mess after that storm I can tell you that.

I walked down the steps as quickly as possible.

Not wanting to make a lot of sound.

As soon as I walked to a pathway I saw someone in a brush of leaves.

I got closer and realised it wasn't a person it was a damn Velociraptor.

It lunged out at me and I let out the loudly blood curling scream ever.

I ran as it snarled at me loudly.

I could hear it chasing after me it wouldn't give up so easily.

I turned a sharp corner and ran into the side of a tree.

"Fuck!" I yelled in pain.

I could still hear it chasing after me.

It was roaring and snarling it's way towards me as I continued to run.

I tripped for a second and realised that I probably wouldn't survive this.

I screamed as it lunged at me.

I felt sharp pain in my left arm all the sudden.

Blood gushed out.

I screamed as the raptor tried to bite me but was stopped by a gun shot.

The next thing I knew was the Raptor had been shot and was on the ground dead.

I was laying on the ground breathing hard from all that running and getting more hurt.

I heard footsteps running towards me.

"(Y,N)!" I heard a familiar voice yell.

I looked up at the corner of my eyes to see my own father running towards me.

I sat up quickly and grunted in pain and ran towards him.

"Dad!" I yelled as I ran into a hug and cried.

"it's alright I'm back now and im not leaving" dad said and I couldn't break off from this hug.

I was so relieved for dad being alright and safe but then I forgot about everyone else and Hammonds grand children.
