The End is the Beginning

The Grand Opening

Five years later

I feel like I've been through he'll and back. It's hard trying to keep something that's about twenty times your size at bay. The Indominous Rex had grown very large and more than what the lab rats had expected.

So they were building the paddock higher and with more precautions
added to it as well. Since she has only shown more aggressive behavioral status over the coursing years. I've now a scar on my back bite mark on my left arm and somewhere a scar on my head. I lost it though since my hair is really thick and a bit long.

Right now I'm in the observation room. Over the few years of working with her, I've made very little progress. The only things she listens to is 'no bite' and 'feeding time'. It was a long process. But I heard from Claire that I'll be helping Owen from now on. Which I call a win so now I don't have to worry about being bitten every two days seconds. I'm just waiting for Claire since she is the one taking over.

Claire finally came to the room looking as stuck up as ever. I don't really like her for certain reasons but she is chill sometimes. "So how is it doing? Do we have to make any adjustments before you officially leave it?" Ugh what is it with this woman and calling Indo it. "Well she is fine, but are you sure you want to do this?" Claire nodded not really giving a damn about what she was agreeing to. "Well then I guess I will take my leave. I hope to never hear that you screwed something up later."

She waved me off as I left. I don't think she cares much for the consequences of their newest creation. Again not my fault if everything goes down hill. Now time to go find Owen and annoy the ever living situation out of him.

It was a lot harder to do so than I thought it would be. The crowds are huge and loud. It wouldn't be much of surprise if some of the animals were overwhelmed with this many people coming in and out of their habitats.

I saw Owen at the top of the newer paddock for the raptors. I think he was too busy to notice me hopefully. I made my way to him. No one really paid much mind to me since I do this regularly. They find it funny Owen finds it annoying.

As I crept closer the raptors saw me and have me away. "Go! And Chester don't even think of scaring me." He turned around and already looked annoyed. "Aw c'mon Owen. Loosen up a bit. You used to tell me that." It's true, when he got the job and dragged me here he was the fun one and I was done with it already.

Owen rolled his eyes and walked past me holding a bucket that held the mice. I saw Hoskins walk up to Owen and it immediately killed my mood. I don't know what they are talking about, but I know it's no good based off of Owen's face. Hoskins only thinks about power and control over animals never considering the fact that they're alive.

I walked off the catwalk and down to where Owen was. Once I got there I saw a guy go over and off the wall. Owen opened the gate I shoved past him and ran under. Owen stopped and stared at me while I jumped in front of the rookie guy. "Back up Charlie. I can see you Delta now back off." I tried to stay as calm as possible. I heard the guy crawl away to safety behind the gate. I held my arms out to make sure I was far enough away from them. I slowly backed up to the entrance. Once I was close enough I had an idea. "Owen close the gate."

I looked back at him but he didn't move. "No way, not while you're still in there." "What are you doing man?! Close the gate!" I heard junior over there scared shitless. "Just trust me on this, and close the gates." I heard the buzzer go off after a minute. A few seconds later of keeping eye contact with the raptors, then made a run for it and dove under the the door before it closed completely. Though I did get a small scratch on my arm nothing really new though.

Owen looked at the kid who looked like he was just about ready to pass his pants. "You know there arejob openings for a reason, right?" He walked over to me and gave me a hug which I gladly returned. Then the moment was ruined when he hit me on the back of the head. I let him go and rubbed the spot he hit. "Oww.. what was that for?" "For scaring the crap out of me and going into the raptors pit!" I just continued pouting as he scolded me for another hour or so.

I tuned out most of it. A majority of it was disappointed sighs, looks, and yelling. By the time he was done it was time to go home. Well to the trailer we live in. I didn't have much of a choice but it's pretty cool here. But the way this worked is he didn't like the fancy crap they offered and didn't want me out of his sight.

Even though he can be a jerk sometimes he is nice other times.... when he wants to be anyways. As we settled down after a long day and one extra long lecture. Well long for him and his old age. I'm hungry right now. "Hey gramps, what's for dinner?" He was holding a random stack of papers and hit me with them on my head. "First of all I'm only ten years older than you. And secondly you can make your own damn food." Back to pouting for me I guess. "But Oweeennnn it's too hard to cook." He rolled his eyes and continued reading whatever was on the paper. "You're twenty-four years old. Quit acting like you're only four and go make yourself some food to eat. And don't burn it as a retaliation this time."

I got up from where I was in defeat and walked to where the stove is. "The least you could make me was a grilled cheese sandwich." He threw paper at me which I threw back this went on for a while. But when we finished up everything needed to be done. Specifically me doing the paperwork that he had to turn in a week ago. As much as I look up to him I also want to punch him in the throat. "Hey Claire wants to meet you outside for something private." "Ew gross. But okay." Wonder what she has to say.

Sorry this took so long I had to gap filler because I want to make this book longer than what I usually write. So I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye
