Jurassic World: Reign (Completed)

Chapter 13: Eye of the Storm

She didn't know what it was, but she felt like she had just woken up from a long slumber. One that lasted for days. The last time she was awake, she was being driven away to an airport, that's the last thing she remembered before blacking out.

Maisie opened her eyes slowly, her head was spinning. When she fell asleep, she felt something piercing one of her wrists. It felt like a needle. What purpose that "needle" was meant for is unknown but it still stung even now.

When her vision was coming back to her, she saw that she wasn't in the car anymore. She was in a room, no, a laboratory. There were tables that had computers and vials. There were incubation domes where dinosaur eggs would be placed in. And there were DNA samples at the far side of the room.

The girl tried her best to stay calm, but she couldn't. Was she going to be experimented on? What did they think she was, a lab rat?

"Ms. Lockwood. I hope you rested well." A calm voice said from nearby.

She turned her head swiftly towards where the voice was coming from, and she was met with a Chinese American man who had long, black hair that was tied into a ponytail, he had black eyes, a light brown jacket with a white undershirt, dark brown pants, and caramel colored shoes.

He wasn't someone who Maisie knew immediately when she first glaced at him. But the more she looked at him closely, the more he started to remind her of a certain man she's only seen once but has quite a history when it came to the Raptors that lived in Owen's backyard.

This man almost looked like a spitting image of him. There's no way that it could be anyone else, right?

"Doctor Wu?" Maisie gulped.

The man chuckled.

"You probably think I'm my brother, Henry. Me and him are twins so we look alike. My name is Elliot." The man responded.

"B-brother? Owen and Claire never told me he had a brother." Maisie replied.

"They probably didn't know. Not a lot of people know about me. Let's just say I prefer staying under the radar. I'm not really into fame as much as my brother is." Elliot said.

Maisie was tensing. If this man was Henry's brother, could he be as cruel as him? Maisie may not know much but what she does know about Henry is that he's one of the most disgusting human beings on this planet. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that his brother was the same.

"S-so you torture dinosaurs too?" Maisie questioned.

Elliot raised an eyebrow.

"What? That's not my line of work- wait, are you talking about my brother? Does he do that?" Elliot wondered.

What does she mean torture? Henry is a scientists isn't he? Why would he torture something that to most people would be a revolutionary achievement?

"He does it to Indoraptors, doesn't he?" Maisie shot back.

"Indoraptor? Ms. Lockwood, I'm sorry if you're confused, but the Indominus is deceased. And it is not simply a gigantic Velociraptor." Elliot said back.

"Wait... You don't know, do you?" Maisie narrowed her eyes.

"Don't know what? Can you please elaborate?" Elliot asked.

She was still unsure if she should trust this man, but there was something about him that made him feel... Welcoming? He didn't feel threatening like Delacourt or Santos.

His voice was the reason why Maisie didn't feel too threatened. It sounded soothing and relaxing to listen to. Like a father having a civil conversation with their child. This man did not feel the least bit threatening at all. If anything, she was actually getting a little comfortable now since he was being fairly polite.
