We're a Team ◇ Jurassic World {2}

Chapter 07

"She's crazy" was the first thing Gray said when I told him and Zach my plan.

"No, Gray," I denied. "I know exactly what I'm doing."

"Doesn't sound like it." He commented.

After explaining Claire and I's plan to the boys (that should have been a secret), they shot it down. We wanted to build a team of very experienced, techy people to take us to the island and get Owen back along with my memories. Zach and Gray were not invited.

"Let us come." Zach said. I shook my head rapidly from side to side.

"Yeah, no."

He signed heavily. "Seriously, Jess. You can't be stubborn anymore and do these things."

"Like when you followed Claire to get the T-Rex!" Gray exclaimed, remembering. As I sadly did.

Suddenly, a loud buzzing rang. And the doors went up. Claire and I prepared ourselves for what would happen. She lit the red flare.

It's footsteps rang heavily to us. I stood there, fearlessly, but shaking. It's glowing eyes appeared before the actual thing did itself. The dinosaur was close enough for us to run.

"Ready?" I asked quietly. Claire and I backed up and took off running with the flare, not looking back. It roared, chasing after us.

My heart dropped at the memory and I slid off the bed, hitting the wooden floor. Zach appeared at my side in seconds.

"Jess!" His eyes were full of worry. "What just happened?"

"I remember jumping out of the booth, talking to Lowery on the radio, the T-Rex was chasing us, and Claire had this red flare..." I explained, chesting beating rapidly.

"Oh shoot..." Gray commented.

"This sucks" I said, calming my heart rate down.

"Look, Jess, you need us there." Zach said, as a shook my head. "Yeah, you do. We saved your life at least five times that day." That got me thinking.

"Yeah, Zach even shot a couple of dinosaurs." Gray agreed.

"I don't remember that..." I said, unsure if they were being honest or not.

"Well to be fair you don't remember a lot of things." Gray told me, which got him a punch in the arm from his brother.

"No. Whatever happened that day doesn't matter. There's no way you're coming." I said.

"Jess-" Zach protested.

"No, Zach, okay? You wouldn't even be allowed to come." Right as he was about to say something a knock came from the door.

"Sorry, Jess." Claire walked in, cautiously. "Uh, we need to talk, and boys, your mom wants you home now." The nodded regretfully and walked out.

Gray waved goodbye, and Zach didn't do anything. What was he thinking about?

Claire sat down at the edge of my bed. "Okay. I've thought it over and I'll help you." My eyes lit up. "Owen needs to come home and if you and I don't do anything we don't know when he could be back. But, we aren't doing this alone." I nodded, agreeing. "I called in Lowery and Barry."

"I still don't know who they are." I reminder her.

"Barry worked along side your brother at Jurassic World, and Lowery worked in the control room with me. They're both extremely intelligent and I think they can get us there."

"Okay, sounds good." I nodded. "I was thinking that our first step needs to be figuring out where they are."

Claire nodded in agreement. "I'll call Owen, if he answers and we can track his call."

"Why can't he just tell us where he is?" I questioned.

"He might not know and people could be listening to him. I don't want to risk it." She said nervously. Claire had set up a way to track the call, and we had the phone in front of us. "Do you want to be here for this?"

"Yeah." I answered, staring at it, and preparing myself.

As far as I know, it took a lot of persuasion to get them to agree to this. And we learned that Lowery had been taking classes to earn his helicopter license in honor of Masrani, the guy who owned the park. In 4 days, he'd have it. That's just enough time to plan, rent a helicopter, get some supplies and go.

We had to two come over so we could begin planning. Knocking came from the door. I opened it to see Barry and Lowery. "Jess. It's good to see you again." Barry greeted.

"Same to you." I smiled small, lying. Looking back at Lowery. "Lowery, how have you been?" I asked to be polite.

"You know, busy." He stated. I stepped aside to let the men in. They walked into my house.

Claire had made small talk. It was fairly awkward. I decided we needed to begin. So I took charge of everything.

"Okay!" Everyone's attention came to me. "We know they're on Isla Sun.

"What?" Lowery asked.

"Sorna. Isla Sorna." Claire corrected me.

"Right. You know that there was another incident a few years after the first park incident. We know Owen is training raptors. We also know the guy responsible for all this has a small role in running this operation. Now, getting there is simple. Lowery once you get your license, you'll rent a helicopter, that I will pay for, and you'll fly us to the island. Barry, you'll need to provide weapons. Long and short range. In case we get caught by a InGen or a dinosaur. That leads me to what we don't know." Everyone was listening to me. I felt good. Claire, being Claire, was taking notes. I knew I'd appreciate that later. All this was basically memorization. I know nothing.

"What we don't know is what dinosaurs they have on this island. We don't know where they've set up a base camp. We don't know how many men are there and we don't have a map. Lowery, we'll need you're expertise to hack into their system and get any information you can." He nodded. Just as Claire was going to continue, a phone went off. Mine. "Sorry! I'll be back..."

I ran off into my room, and answered Zach's call. "What?" I asked.

"Oh wow. Hi, Jess?"

"Sorry! Hello, Zach. How can I help you?" I replied sarcastically.

"How's you're rescue mission?" He asked me.

"We're only talking to Lowery and Barry at the moment of you must know." I sighed.

"When can I come over and help?" Zach questioned, hopefully.

"We've been through this... You are not coming." I told him.

"Jess, I really feel like I should be there. I can help you, and you actually, somewhat, know me so-"

I cut him off. "I'm leaving now, okay? Bye." I hung up. And left for the kitchen. "Okay. Let's get back to work." And so we did.

Sorry, I had MAJOR writers block.

Thanks for the wait :)
