Out of the Pack
Inside of Mae's cave, the six teens all sat in the living room, eating toast. Patrick propped his thigh on a pillow while he took a bite.
"When the Kons and Palmer come back, they'll want more of the control chips." Darius said.
"We gotta destroy them." Brooklyn said.
"And the files so he can't make more." Patrick said. "Where would they keep the files?"
"My best guess is Kash's computer." Darius said. "Okay, Me and Brooklyn will go to the office and delete the files. Sammy Yaz and Ben will go to the workshop and destroy the chips."
"Actually..." Ben interjected. "I think I've moved beyond pure destruction. I want to be on team delete the blueprints."
"Really?" Darius questioned.
"What happened to explosions are my thing?" Brooklyn questioned.
"Hey, don't put me into a box." Ben said. "A guy can evolve."
"What do we say to a friendly competition?" Yaz asked.
"Like a race?" Darius asked. "You're on."
"Loser roasts the marshmallow!" Ben exclaimed.
"Wait!" Patrick interrupted causing the group to look at him as he tried to stand, leaning on the arm rest. "What about me? I could go with Team destroy the chips."
The group all frowned looking down, as if they were ashamed. Yaz turned and gestured towards the door, causing the group to exit the cave, leaving her and Patrick alone.
"What's going on?" Patrick asked causing Yaz to take a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Pat... you need to stay here." Yaz whispered shocking Patrick.
"What? Are you serious?" Patrick asked grabbing the walking stick. "I can pull my own weight."
"No." Yaz shot, trying to hold back her tears. "Patrick, the Dino's are still out there. Not to mention the BRADs."
"I'm not helpless!" Patrick pleaded causing Yaz to turn away, crossing her arms.
"I know you're not." Yaz assured grabbing his shoulders.
"Then you know I can do this." Patrick whispered. "Please Yaz..."
"Alright, fine." Yaz whispered gesturing to the exit. "You're being chased by a Raptor. Get to the exit as fast as you can."
Patrick narrowed his eyes and began to move towards the exit as fast as he could. He only made it three steps before stumbling to the ground with a grunt. He held himself up, tears filling his eyes.
Yaz kneeled next to him and grab his shoulders only for Patrick to shake her off. She sighed and stood up. Patrick watched as she exited the cave. Patrick got up and sat on the couch before lightly crying.
Meanwhile, Yaz exited the cave to see Sammy, Ben, Brooklyn and Darius looking at her concerned.
"What?" Yaz whispered with a fake smile. "Come on. Let the race begin."
The group all nodded and ran towards their respective destinations.
Timeskip
In the jungle Biome, Yaz and Sammy both walked towards the warehouse. Sammy looked at her friend concerned.
"I'm fine." Yaz shot, seeing Sammy's face.
