Forza Di Volontà ➢ Jurassic World

Owen took me back to his home, its small trailer like mine own but his was next to a small lake that was dino free. Rummaging through Owen's shelves, I was able to find enough food to make a semi-decent meal before I changed out of my dirty shirt into a cleaner one. I have a stash of clothing in his trailer while he has a stash at mine. 

Owen was working on his bike while I sat on the front steps relaxing when we both heard a a car pulling up. Sitting up it was none other than Clair Dearing; our boss; Owen cleaned his hands off a rag as I stepped up.

"Mr. Grady. Ms.Cruthers." Clair greeted us.

"Owen and Haley." Owen clarified for Claire.

With my arms crossed my chest, I moved off the steps. "What can we help you with Claire?"

"Mr.Masrani would like for you two to come and check out our new attraction." Claire said speaking business.

"That's not what you said the last time I saw you." Owen said with a grin.

"We are talking about Dinosaurs, Mr.Grady."

"Owen." He said walking towards Claire.

"A new species has been made." Claire said trying to get back on topic. 

"You just went and made a new dinosaur?" I asked taking a glare to Owen.

"Yeah its kind of what we do here...the exhibit opens in three weeks to the public. Mr.Masrani wanted me to consult with the both of you."

"You want to consult here or in my bungalow?" Owen asked with a smirk. I rolled my eyes.

"That's not funny." Claire defended herself. "We need you two to evaluate the padlock for vulnerabilities."

"Why us?" I asked beating Owen.

"I guess Mr.Masrani thinks that since you work and control the raptors." Claire started.

Owen cut her off before she could finish. "Its all about control with you. I don't control the raptors and neither does Haley. Its a relationship based on mutual respect. That's why me and you never had a second date." 

"Excuse me! I never wanted a second date." Claire exclaimed. 

I sat down and watched the little show in front of me, giving me the reason why I never gave Owen that chance cause he was still on about Claire.

"Who prints out an itinerary for the night?" Owen asked.

"I'm an organized person." Claire defended herself. 

"What kind of diet doesn't include tequila?" Owen asked again.

"I'm wondering that too." I muttered to myself.

"All of them actually." Claire said defending herself. "And what kind of man turns up to a date in board shorts?"

"Its Central America, its hot." Owen said defending himself.

Standing up, I'd had it with the both of them, "Can we please talk about why we are needed. About this new dinosaur."

"Yes lets focus on the asset." Claire said with a nod of her head.

My head snapped towards her. "Asset?"

Own puts his hands up, stepping between me and Claire. "Look I get it, you're in charge out here. You gotta make tough decisions, its probably easier to pretend these animals are just numbers on a spreadsheet. But they're not, they're alive."

"I'm fully aware they're alive." Claire said looking confused on where Owen was going with this.

"You may have made them in a test tube but they don't know that." I pitched in from behind Owen.

"They're thinking; I gotta eat, I gotta hunt, I gotta..." Owen made a hand gesture by punching the air. "You can relate to at least one of those things, right?"

I shook my head at his antics, it didn't surprise me that he went that far in mentioning their sexual needs. That was Owen for you. Grabbing him back the back of the shirt I pulled him. "Go get changed."

Owen made a face and looked back at me. "Only if you join me." He whispered low enough so only I could hear him.

Reaching up I smacked him back of the head. "Go get changed you giant child."

Owen walked inside so I turned back around and faced Claire. "Lets go see  this new dinosaur."

Not to look Owen walked back out with a fresh set of clothing. Both Owen and I got into Claire's work car heading towards the new attraction. Not knowing what to expect.
