Chain Reaction||| A Jurassic World Story

Ch.2

Owen's POV

"Annabeth!" I scream. I see my younger sister fall into the paddock with the new kid. I run away from Hoskins and open the gate. The sirens blast throughout my head. I can't lose her. She's all I have.

"No, hold your fire! Hold your fire," I tell towards my co-workers. "Put 12 amps in these animals, they're never gonna trust me again." I turn towards the raptors cornering Annabeth and the boy. I whistle and all eyes are on me.
"Blue, stand down. Stand down," I say calmly. Blue snaps her jaws at me and I whip my hand away, just in time. "Hey! What did I just say? Delta, I see you. Back up!"
I see the boy crawling out of the cage, and Barry pulling Annabeth out too.
"Okay. Good, good. Charlie? Stay right there. Good." I take a deep breath and say, "Close the gate."

"Are you crazy?" Barry yells.

"Owen! What the hell are you thinking!" Annabeth screams towards me.

"Just trust me. Close the gate!"

"Close the damn gate!" the new kid demands. Barry pushes the button and pushes Annabeth behind him. I flip backwards right before the raptors almost devour me.
"I'm okay. I'm okay." I sigh. Annabeth hugs me, shaking with fear.

"Your an idiot, but I love you for it," she whispers.

"Hey, you're the one who fell in," I teased. She smiled. "You're the new guy, right?"

"Yeah," he answers.

"You ever wonder why
there was a job opening?" I raise my eyebrows. "Hey. Don't ever turn your back to the cage."
He turned around and saw Charlie bearing his teeth. "Annabeth, let's get you home."

She sighed, "Ok."

*** time skip ***

I got Annabeth situated in the bungalow, she had a few bruises but nothing more. I was tinkering up my motorcycle when I saw a silver car pull up.

"What do they want now?" I grunt.

"Mr.Grady?" Claire steps forward. "I need you to.. come take a look at something."

"Why are you calling me Mr.Grady?" I sighed, taking a swig of my Coke.

"Owen. If you're not too busy."

"I'm pretty busy," I started to stand up.

"We have an attraction," Claire stated.

"That's not what you said the last time I saw you," I threw a rag down near the bike.

"I'm talking about the dinosaurs, Mr.Grady."

"Owen."

"A new species we've made."

"You just went and made a new dinosaur?"

"Yea, it's kinda what we do here. The exhibit opens to the public in three weeks- mr.masrani wanted me to consult with you."

My eyes traveled up and down her, as I said, "you wanna consult here, or in my bungalow?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"That's not funny."

"A little funny."

"We'd like you to evaluate the paddock for vulnerabilities."

"Why me?" I sighed.

" I guess Mr.Masrani thinks, since you're able to control the raptors.."

"It's all about control with you. I don't control the raptors, it's a relationship- based on mutual respect," I paused. "That's why you and I never had a second date."
