"Gray! What time is it?" I shouted back to Gray. We had been walking for quite some time now, and honestly, I didn't know where we were going.

"1:49". He answered. I sighed. We were doing okay on time. Everyone has been complaining, except Claire and Barry, but on the inside they have to be.

"Jess, why don't we take a break?" Claire suggested. I turned around, taking my eyes off the map.

"We can't," I told her. "There's not enough time, Claire." I said while shaking my head.

"Jess, I know but we're all exhausted." She told me pointing to each member of my team. Lowery was leaning on a tree, Barry looked beaded down from the sun, Gray looked like he wanted to sit down, and Zach was sitting down.

"Yes, and I'm sorry, but we have to keep going." I protested. "You agreed to this. You signed up for it, and boys you really wanted to come!"

"Jess-" Zach started as he pushed himself out of the dirt. I cut him off with my hand.

"No. Look I am not stopping. Anyone who wants to if welcome, but I need to keep going." I told them and walked back in the direction I needed to go. I heard Gray say something and then follow me. I'm not sure who else did though.

Gray had kept quiet most of the day. He was tired, probably worried and thinking of something important I guess.

Claire led the group with me until about two hours ago when her energy just dropped. Lowery and Barry have kept quiet. Lowery made a few remarks but hasn't bothered me.

Now, Zach is right beside me at all times talking about nonsense. I should have been listening, but honestly I zoned out. About an hour ago Zach gave up on trying to talk to me and he started talking to Barry about the gun he gave him.

I never really understood why he just had to tag along, and bring Gray with him. I didn't know if I wanted to find out...

What I want to find out is who I am. What was life like when my parents were alive and Owen wasn't in the Army, or Navy, or whatever it was. What did I do Christmas morning? Did I have friends? Or a dog? What was Jurassic World like (Besides the parts I remember)?

I can't imagine anything good from these islands. It has barely been 24 hours and I'm already petrified. I want nothing more than to remember everything I ever knew so I could handle this situation better.

"Jess." I spun around to the people who chose to keep following me. "Look over here." Lowery pointed in a direction I looked past. It was a camp. With rows of what seemed to be cabins, a big arena, a big box which was what I'm guessing is the control center and lab.

"That's it." I said. Practically breathless. "We made it." After all the planning, worrying, walking, packing, and ordering, we made it.

"Finally." I heard Zach groan. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay." This is where we part ways. I turned to face my team. "Claire, Lowery and Gray. You three will go towards the front where the main building is. That's where you split up. Claire go to the lab. Act like you're meant to be there, and gather anything and everything." She nodded. "Lowery and Gray, I want you two to find a secluded, deserted room and hack into the security footage. Put a video on a loop so we can sneak around with out getting caught. Send me a text when we're clear." I held up my phone. Gray held his up and Lowery gave me a thumbs up. "Barry and I will go-"

Zach started to cough rapidly. I sighed.

"Barry, Zach, and I," I looked to Zach, who seemed satisfied now. "Will go down to the cabins. We will find a storage closet or something and dress like them. Once we find Oscar-"
