The wind tore through her wild hair as Echo sprinted forward. 

Zach watched from the web camera on Echo's back as she ducked beneath branches and limbs that were thrown her way. Along side her, the other raptors weaved the same way echo did beneath her. Just having her out there worried him beyond belief. 

It was clear enough for Grey to see. "She'll be okay Zach..." He tried comforting his older brother. In return, all he got was a sideways glance. The guy wasn't willing to take his eyes off of the screen for a second. He wasn't willing to take his eyes off of her.

"They got something!" Ty yelled through the radio to Owen. "Moving in now!" 

The game of hide and seek was like an underprivileged cousin to this game. Once found, what they were going to do next was completely unknown to Ty. It was up to the raptors and what they wanted. Control wasn't the factor in this equation, it was cooperation. 

"Remember to bail Ty." Owen reminded her. "On my command!" 

"Yeah I got it." 

It wasn't much longer before the raptors started clicking and communicating, a language she was always jealous that she couldn't understand. 

"Ty! Now!" Holding her breath, she dove off of Echo and grunted as soon as her right shoulder connected with the ground. Using her momentum, she rolled over and over again eventually landing on the balls of her feet. The rest of the raptors rushed past her leaping over her tumbling body. 

The plan ran through her head right away. With a huff, she was running through the forest and into cover. Meanwhile, jeeps, soldiers, ATV's and Owen's motorcycle parked around the scene. She needed high ground, and she needed to gain it fast. 

Reaching the nearest tree, Tyler climbed with all her might to the sturdiest branch possible. Once there, she sunk into the trunk, pulled off the rifle from her back, and took aim to where the Raptors were targeting. Tyler needed to plant the tracking beacon. 

Owen commanded everyone to hold, to keep their aims steady and wait for their signal. 

Each member of the Raptor group stopped and looked upwards towards the bundle of trees. Time passed, silence overcame the forest, and then eventually, it all started to move. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zach could see her breathing, the fog rolling with every exhale. Tyler was scared, that much he knew. However, covering his mouth with his hand he couldn't help but relax knowing she could handle herself. 

Then he saw it though, the same thing that she was looking at too. the forest wall, trees, branches, they all began to move. Before he knew it, the adominous rex stood tall right before her. It was loud, it was heavy, and it had death in it's eyes. 

"Oh my god." He whispered. 

For the longest time, the raptors all just stood in place. Somewhere in claire's passenger seat, they could hear the Owen through the radio telling everyone to hold. The Raptors were communicating, throats clenching and releasing at the same time. 

However, when they all turned back towards the soliders, his heart sank. "TY!" Owen yelled into the mike. "Take the shot take the shot!" 

Her screen jolted showing she fired the rifle, soon enough a new flashing red light was embedded into the spine of the monster. It wasn't enough though. Now the raptors were against the humans, and the adominious? It's tail was the last thing Zach saw before Tyler's camera flashed to static.
