old dangers ⇾ jurassic world

10. Kingdom

A ringtone went off from under my pillow. The sun wasn't all the way up yet leaving the room at a soft orange and pink glow. To stop the awful ringing, I ran my hand under the pillow where I silenced my phone and lowered my head back to my pillow, then my phone rang again. I wanted to sleep but it was important whoever was calling.
I took the pillow out from under me and threw it against the wall in search for my phone. On my screen shown a picture of a red headed woman and the name printed 'Claire'. Of course she would call at the crack of dawn, she probably was outside our door.

"Claire, yes, hi" I said shaking off my sleepiness and raising myself from the bed slightly.

"We need to get moving now, Zach said he saw 3 helicopters fly over at 5 in the morning. Its 6:30 get up now" she said through the phone firmly before hanging up.

My phone later was tossed to the floor and I flipped to face the door. My arm extended out and slapped Owen who laid next to me snoring away. He grunted, his eyes still closed, and flipped over.

"Owen wake up" I said softly shaking his arm.

"No Sally don't put the cookies in the garbage I want to eat those" he mumbled in his sleep. I chuckled a little bit listening to his conversation with 'Sally'.

"OWEN" I screamed and his eyes darted open to stare right at me.

"God DAMN IT ANN" He screamed jolting up. He wasn't wearing a shirt so my eyes wandered "hey my eyes are up here"

"Sorry, uh Claire wants us up now. Over an hour ago 3 helicopters flew over us so we need to head out" I said standing up and making my way to my suitcase.

"Oh gotchya" he said getting up as well.

"So who's Sally?" I asked trying to hold in my laughter over the one man conversation he had in his sleep.

"Was I talking in my sleep?"

"Yes and it was pretty hilarious" I said putting on my old Jurassic Park shirt I snagged from a bidding war on Ebay. It was in poor taste, yes, but that first park was legit, they didn't need any hybrids or rides. They just needed dinosaurs.

"Okay we should grab a snack and head out, Claire is waiting for us to come and pick her up" Owen said leaving the room, I followed closely behind stringing my brown backpack around my shoulder. As we were just about to leave the bungalow, granola bars in hand, Owen grabbed my arm to stop and pull me back.

"Wait before I forget," he stopped and cupped my cheek and gave me a quick kiss. When he pulled away and walked out, my eyes remained closed still in lust. My feet frozen before the metal frame.

"Ann!" He yelled to get me out of shock.

"Coming!"

All 5 of us sat trembling in the car as Claire went over the plan and repeated it. It was a very intricate plan but it was something to our benefit.
We stopped the car in front of the innovation center to drop off Claire and Zach.

"If you need anything, remember, channel 2" Owen said driving away.

"Gray you are going to stay hidden in the car with the radio when me and Ann go inside the raptor base to free them. Claire is unlocking paddock 1-12 we don't have a lot of time till this place becomes a kill zone. Claire isn't letting out any herbivores, they will stay in the valley. As soon as we free the raptors we are breaking the aviary walls-"

"With this" I said cutting off Owen holding up 2 metal baseball bats.

"How did you get those through customs?" Gray asked

"They aren't mine, Owen keeps them in display in his garage" I said

"Does that help, Claire likes to add in additional thoughts and plans along with words you need a dictionary for" Owen said veering his eyes back to the gravel road.

We arrived at the paddock shortly after our conversation. There were a few trucks containing maybe 10 guys. Owen steered the car to hide in the brush behind the cage. Gray stayed behind as me and Owen got out. Owen told me there is a control at the top of the pen that in an emergency, with a code, will release the raptors. I had to go press it while he was my back up. He promised to me quietly he wouldn't let anyone lay a hand on me. Obviously I blushed and squeezed my eyes in happiness to his words.

"Right there" he pointed to a stand with a few controls on it. The guards looked in the other direction. Owen looked into the pen, there were 3 raptors, not one of them was Blue. Henry probably engineered new ones for an immediate field test.

"Be careful" he said as I climbed up the side. My feet slid along the sides as I pulled myself to the top walkways. Owen told me the code was 'Grady'-how easy.

"Hey get her!" Someone yelled from under me. I dropped down to an army crawl as they shot to the unknown. The sun blanked out any silhouette in front of them.

My hand reached up the panel to type in the code. G-R-A-D-Y. It was typed and the cage lifted, out of no where a man grabbed me and pulled me away. The sun was gradually disappearing to show Owen with his hands on my arm. Below us were the screams and yelled as the raptors snarled and ripped them apart.
Owen got us out of there quick and Gray sat startled in the back as questions.

"Anyone radio you?" Owen asked Gray

"Claire said they let out the paddock 1, 2, 3, and 4."

"Okay good we need to get the hell away from here" Owen looked back at Gray "excuse me I mean 'heck'"

I laughed as Owen turned a sharp corner to head toward the aviary. All the bird that were left loose were tranquilized and was brought back to the pen. They obviously made more pterodens but we just needed to break a hole in the side, these suckers are dangerous but that's what we need.

"So what if they escape and attack us" Gray asked

"Don't worry, we are in a very heavy duty car" Owen approached a large glass wall "nothing is getting in here"

I handed Owen a bat, "stay here"

Gray got off his seat and sat on the floor, his head pressed the door. Me and Owen got out.

"1"

"2"

"3"

We took our bats and immediately broke the glass. The wall wouldn't budge as much but we worked at it for a good 12 minutes when we were radioed in

"Owen, Zach here, Claire told me to tell you that a group of men are on the other side of the aviary. Break the glass fast" the line went flat and we continued to swing faster and harder.

We heard screeches inside and saw a pterodactyl approaching our hole. It swooped out and up break more glass than we had broken in that 12 minutes. Others followed after it as Owen and I rushed back inside. The car which was still running, was out in reverse and we immediately backed up to get on the main road to The Valley.

"I have an idea, get Claire on the radio" Owen said.
