Down in the depths of the control center, people scurried about. Claire has alerted all park personal to evacuate to the docks, like they had when the unfortunate incident had happened. However what was left of the ACU units flourished all over the the control center and visitor center. They had longed for a moment when they would be needed.

During the scampering mess, down a long corridor hallway, four men stood, two of them in what appeared to grey and black ACU uniforms. "So we know they're going to contact us at 8 with Emma's "ransom" and we have to refuse?" Owen clarified with Hunter, who in turn nodded his head with his arms crossed in the middle of the hallway.

"And we're refusing, why?" Felix chimed in, a confused look placed upon his face.
"Because they're going to bring the fight and Emma to us." Hunter explained with a small triumphant smile playing on his lips. This was starting to sound like another suicide mission. Felix and Emmett looked confused at each other before glancing to Owen, who gave a reassuring nod of his head.

Felix made a grunting sound as he placed his hands on his hips frustratedly as he thought of the repercussions that would most likely effect them. "I'm failing to see how us begging for a fight with only a few raptors and a tyrannosaur would be a good idea to get Emma back." Felix countered logically, earning a scoff and a glare from Hunter. "That's why we're going back to the nest. To get the raptors-"

Felix let out a low chuckle. "You want to grab the raptors that tried to eat us?"

"That's exactly what we're going to do." Owen stated, backing Hunter's idea up. He began rubbing his wrists in a calming manner as the questionable looks coming from Emmett and Felix resided on him. "For fucks sake, have you gone insane?" Emmett questioned walking towards Owen, prying back his eyelids to look into his pupils.

Owen jerked back, slapping Emmett's hand away from his face with an annoyed look on his face. "Don't pull that doctors crap on me. I'm not insane. It's the only thing we can do for this attack." Owen defended, quickly turning on his heel to look over at Felix, who now had his arms crossed begrudgingly. Owen wanted to slap his arms down to his sides, he knew Felix wasn't a coward and he shouldn't be acting out like this. His work partner was on the line, he wouldn't refuse. "Felix-"

"Nope."

"Felix, be a god damn man for once." Hunter spoke with agitation in his voice, glaring into the brown eyes of the tyrannosaur handler. Felix expression looked almost hurt by Hunter's words, like they had just stabbed him in the heart. "Why do you have to make it personal." Felix whispered out under his breath while looking to the ground.

Owen rolled his eyes at Felix, sighing, before placing a hand on his slumped shoulder. "We need your help. We need everyone's help no matter how scary this seems. You have your brother and girlfriend here don't you?" Owen questioned, earning a head nod from Felix.
"You have to protect them, from InGen. They're mean people," There was a distinct cough from behind Owen. "Most of them." Emmett stepped forward out of the group towards Owen, making it clear that he wanted to be noticed.

"So what do we do?" He asked Owen, who just scanned him up and down. "Emmett you know you don't have to do this." Owen whispered out pleadingly, as Emmett threw his head back and guffawed. "You're kidding right? Emma's family now. I have to. Just like I have to make sure you're alright." Owen rolled his eyes in annoyance at the protectiveness of his older brother.

Even though Owen was probably more skilled and dangerous than Emmett he still obliged to the weak little brother part. "Then, you're going with us." Owen pointed towards him and Hunter. Emmett perked an intrigued eyebrow up at him. "How do we know we can trust him?" He pointed to Hunter for a moment with guarded eyes before placing his gaze back on his brother.
