The control was buzzing with people typing away and talking into head pieces. I sat on the floor between Lowery and Vivian's desk, staring at the tablet that showed an empty padlock that once was home to the Indominus Rex who is now running freely in the park. Lowery and Vivian where both busy trying to get control and sent out teams, but Lowery was able to keep one hand down for me to hold. No words where shared but he knows me all too well.
I was in my own little world when I heard a voice I never thought I would hear again, looking up I saw Owen stepping out of the elevator and side stepping the security guard. "What the hell happened out there? There are thermal camera's all over that padlock! She did not just disappear!" Owen yelled out as he walked over to where Claire was standing.

"Owen?" I whispered loud enough so he could hear me. Standing up, Owen took me in his arms and held me to his chest as he waited for a response to his question.
"It must have been some kind of technical malfunction." Claire tried to find some logical response. I could see my brother shake his head at her answer and right now I trust him over anything Claire can say about the whole situation. I could hear Owen and Claire sharing a bunch of words.
"Four hundred meets from beacon." Vivian's voice rang out through the whole control room. I froze in Owen's arms before slowly turning around.
On the huge screen of the control room, you can see six staff pictures of the members of the ACU (Asset Containment Unit) and a mini camera that was showing the jungle like terrain of the island.
"Please tell me that they have lethal's on them." I muttered.
"They're going after it with non-lethal's?!" Owen exclaimed.
"We have $26 million invested in the asset. We can't just kill it." Mr.Masrani pointed out.
"She's had a taste of better food. Human. She will just keep killing." I tried to argue back.

"Those men are going to die out there." Owen stated.
"Three hundred meters to the beacon." Vivian called out.
"You need to call this off, right now." Owen demanded.
"They're right on top of it." Lowery's voice rang out. Everyone's eyes where glued to the screen.
"Call it off! You still have time." I demanded looking back at Mr.Masrani. "You have wanted our opinion on the asset. Kill it, before it kills anyone else."
Claire snapped her head towards me. "You are not in control in here!"
"And neither are you." I practically growled out. Owen held me tighter to him.
We all turned back and watched ACU as Hamada, the head of ACU; found a chunk of flesh on the ground. He knelt down and picked up the chunk and found the tracker inside the flesh. My eyes widen as I realized what it was. "Oh my god, she remembered where they placed the tracker." I whispered to myself.
"What on earth is that?" Mr.Masrani asked confused.
"That's her tracking implant that was placed in her as a baby. She clawed it out." I answered him.
"How..how would it know to do that?" Claire asked me.
"She remembered." I simply answered. I was amazed but scared at the same time.
Suddenly the rex came out of hiding. "Oh shit." I muttered before all hell broke lose for ACU. Gun shots rung through the control room. You can hear the team's screams and yells through the speakers and everyone in the control started talking at once. Owen was talking to Claire and Mr.Masrani. As I watched the life lines of the unit quickly flat line.

"Owen!" I called out. He turned to me and pointed to the screen. He went back at it with Claire and Mr.Masrani.
When the last memeber of the team flat line I turned towards the trio, but my main attention was Mr.Masrani. "Listen to me. Asset containment can use live ammunition in an emergency situation. You have an M1-34 in your armory. Put it on a helicopter and smoke that thing. You have just killed over thirteen people. How many more must die before you realize you need to kill it?"
"We have families here. I'm not about to turn this place into a war zone." Claire spoke up from the silence I left.
I looked her dead in the eyes. "You already have when that thing got out. The events that occurred twenty-two years ago on this island is happening again. If we do not kill that thing now, we are going to lose a whole lot of families. Listen to Owen and evacuate the island. But don't, but you'll be the one responsible for thousands of deaths. I know I wouldn't want that blood on my hands." I said before walking out, shoving my shoulder into hers as I walked past her.
I went into the elevator with a blank look on my face, Owen joined me. Taking my hand and squeezing it tightly.
"So about that kiss?" Owen started off, attempt to distract me.
"Not now Owen."
