Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Forty-Two

Another one!

Thanks everyone for reading! Hope yellow have a good day, stay home, stay safe.

The next afternoon, Darius and Brooklynn were hanging out with Ben and Sammy. Yaz had joined them because she was taking time off of training. Darius felt like everything was going right for once. It had been years since they all sat together. Ever since Kenji died. The adults were sitting around the table, playing cards. Darius had gotten really good at Poker. The current pot was twenty Oreos, forty MnM's, and eight skittles. Ben, Sammy, and Yaz folded. Brooklynn and Darius were trying to figure the other one out. Darius had her all figured out. He got her tell. She always played with her hair whenever she had a bad hand or when she was panicking. He smirked as he looked at his two pairs of 8s and 2s.

Brooklynn's phone started to ring, and she said, "I'll be back. I've gotta take this." Looking back at Darius, she said, "No peeking!" She went into the other room, and said, "What's up Claire?"

"Brooklynn, I just got done with my meeting with Lockwood and his assistant." Claire said. "They're going to get the dinosaurs out!"

"Oh my God! Really?!" Brooklynn screamed in disbelief.

"They have already got a team on their way to the island right now." Claire explained. "But here's the thing. They also want to get Blue out. And I wouldn't ask this if it was absolutely necessary, but in order to find her, they want you and Darius at least to help them. They said they need a guide."

Brooklynn said, "I want to be as much help as I can. I'm in. When do we leave?"

"Three days. There's a plane in L.A. that's willing to take us to Nublar." Clarie took another breath. "I'm currently in the process of recruiting ANOTHER member to the team. Owen knows how Blue thinks, so we'll see how that goes."

"Good luck. I'm going to see how things go on my end." Brooklynn told her.

"You too. I can only guess how Darius is going to react." With that, the two women hung up. Brooklynn went back to the living room.

"Who was that?" Sammy asked.

Brooklynn answered, "Just Claire." She sat down and picked up her cards.

Darius asked, "What did she want? Her meeting go okay?" He saw that she was really working on her hair, then went all in. "Call."

Brooklynn went all in as well. "Call." They flipped their cards, and Brooklynn showed three 6s. Darius's mouth fell. Brooklynn gave him a smile, and took the pot full of cookies and candy.

"You gave me the wrong tell, didn't you?" Darius said.

Brooklynn smirked. "Um, Claire said that Lockwood is going through with a rescue mission for the dinosaurs." Sammy and Ben gasped. "They're going to get as many out as they can. But, they also need guides. And Claire asked if we would like to go."

"I'm in." Ben said immediately. "I'm not leaving Bumpy to die. I'm gonna get her."

Sammy said, "I'm coming too."

Yaz said, "Sorry Brooklynn. I don't think I could ever step foot on that island ever again."

Brooklynn said, "Don't worry Yaz. I get it. Alright, Ben, Sammy, we leave with Claire in three days."

"Wait, 'we'?" Darius interrupted. "You're going back? You want to go back to that hell hole?"

"I do." Brooklynn said. "I know the island. We know the island. We spent months scouting and walking through the jungle together."

"Did you forget that we also ran into every possible death trap you could think of?" Darius countered. "Because I do."

"And we also know how to avoid them." Brooklynn said.
