InGen / Jurassic World

:16:

Oscar's eyes widened in shock as he turned to Cole. "Say what?!"

"That is all." The Boss said as he left the microphone.

Claire took time to process what had been said. Her headache prevented her to do so straight away.

Owen was descretly making his way over to her because he knew that when Claire realised what was said, she'd break down completely.

The silence in the room broke as discussion erupted.

Owen had nearly made it to Claire.

She was stock still in shock. Isla Nublar. Isla Nublar? Isla Nublar!? Claire squeaked as it hit her. She dropped the banana and the water as the first tears began to creep down her cheeks. She gasped and shot her hand over her mouth to stop the whimpers that escaped from it.

She stood up slowly and Owen increased his pace towards her. She was trembling violently.

Claire snapped out of it and dashed for the doors. Owen lunged forward to grab her but missed. "Claire!"

Isla whipped around from the coffee machine to see Claire's orange hair disappear through the door. Claire's body was in no state for running.

Isla ran across the room and out the doors with Owen behind her. "Claire wait!" Owen yelled after her.

"Go away!" Claire croaked through her tears.

Then Isla realised. "Mr. Grady please leave her alone. I've got this." She said inbetween breaths.

"No." He said, stubbornly.

Isla skidded to a stop and grabbed him. She pushed him against the wall. "Look, sir, if you want her to be okay, get lost." She spoke as calmly as possable as Claire was still running away. Owen nodded his head reluctantly and she left him.

God, Claire was fast. She was weak as well. "Miss! Please stop running! You'll hurt yourself!"

Tears were streaming down Claire's face now. Memories she had tried to hide away crashed down on her. She just wanted to be alone. "I'm not a baby! You don't know anything!" Claire shouted.

"Please Miss!" Isla didn't know the corridors very well, if she lost Claire she'd be lost too.

Claire suddenly tripped and hit the ground with a thump. She just curled up into a ball and cried.

Isla finally caught up. "Miss!" She gasped and knelt down beside her.

"I, I'm fine. Please call me Claire." She mumbled into her sleeve.

"Ok, but please don't do that again."

Claire looked up at her. "I, Isla Nublar. We, we can't go there."

"Well, it doesn't look like we have a choice Claire" Isla said solemnly.

Claire was so beaten up. Lying on the floor with nothing but a skeleton for a body.

"You can't take off like that when you're like this Claire, you need to get nutrients inside you." Isla spoke softly.

"Do you even consider that I might have done this for a reason?" Claire snapped.

"Yes but you still have to eat to live so-"

Claire cut her off. "What if I don't want to live? I've lost everything I ever had! Owen doesn't trust me, my daughter isn't even human, I lost my job at Jurassic World and nearly died! I wish I had!" Claire screamed as she stood up and ran away.

Isla knew she wouldn't catch her, so she let her go.

Claire ran through the corridors. Ingen was startled awake from the paddock door slamming closed. Ugh what now? People have no idea how hard sleeping is on the floor. She stood and stretched.
