Regrets

Lookout Tower

Ian Malcom and Kenji were both using wired phones to try and call for help with little success. Alan and Ellie were both sitting down, clearly tired. Patrick walked past Ian with a bottle of water.

"Well, uh can't get a hold of anyone cause everything's..." Ian started.

"On fire." Kenji continued as Patrick handed Dr. Grant a bottle of water.

"I'm, uh... Patrick Grady." Patrick said. "I read your book..."

"I know who you are." Dr. Grant said with a smile before turning to the other Campers. "The Nublar Seven. The seven kids who survived being stranded on Jurassic World for a year."

"Jurassic World?" Ian said. "Not a fan."

"Join the club dude." Kenji remarked.

"Hi..." Darius said stepping towards Dr. Grant. "I'm..."

"Darius Bowman." Dr. Grant said with a smile. "I'm a big fan of yours."

Darius's eyes went wide. Brooklyn smiled proudly.

"Y... you are?" Darius asked.

"Yeah. Your book about the watering hole on Nublar was spectacular." Grant said, causing Darius to smile. "Tell me, was it as beautiful as you described?"

Darius smiled wider.

"I don't think words can do it justice." Darius said. Patrick left and turned to Ellie Sattler. The Doctor was talking to Claire, Sammy Ben, Yaz and Mia. Claire was holding Conner while Yaz was holding Mia Jr. Both the babies were okay, just terrified.

"Dr. Sattler." Patrick said, handing her a bottle of water.

"Thank you." she said.

Sammy looked over at Kenji.

"Kenji..." Sammy said gaining her boyfriends attention. "Can we talk?"

Kenji nodded and the two left. Kayla joined the group.

"Okay. We ready to get out of here?" Kayla asked.

"Yup." Owen said after tending Maisie's cuts.

"We'll have to reactivate the ADS." Claire pointed out.

"What?" Brooklyn asked.

"It keeps the flying reputations below 500 ft." Sattler explained.

He pulled out blueprints of the valley and the control center. Patrick, Grant and Owen all gathered around it.

"It looks like all these outposts are connected underground." Patrick pointed out as Yaz put Mia Jr on his back.

"They run through the control center." Grant pointed out.

"Look. All the systems run through the third floor." Owen said.

"It'll be guarded." Grant remarked causing Patrick to put a hand on the doctor's shoulder.

"Leave that to me." Patrick said smirking.

The trio went to a door labeled: "Hyperloop"

Patrick, Grant and Owen all forced the door open, revealing a circular staircase leading underground.

The group went down towards a tunnel. Claire led the way holding a torch. Patrick was walking next to Ian Malcom in the back of the group.

"So... you shoot arrows?" Ian asks. Patrick nodded. "If I may... why not use a gun?"
