After about an hour or so of sleep, Owen shook me awake with one hand. I look out the front window of the jeep to see a giant metal paddock. I can't believe I'm going to see live raptors! I tried to keep my excitement. But I couldn't. Owen got out of the car, grabbed my hand I looked up at him and calmed down. He started to walk down the road and I followed. I kept following him when he stopped me mid-paced.
"Listen, You know that these animals are carnivores, so they can be ruthless. So don't get close to them and if you feel uncomfortable at any time. Let me or my partner, Barry, know. Okay?" He said. I gave him a thumbs up and nodded. We began to walk towards the paddock until my brother was stopped by this bold, chubby, guy. By the looks of it, I could tell he was a jackass
"Hello, Hoskins." Owen greeted him in a cold manner. I poke out from behind him. Yep, a complete and total jackass. "Hello, Owen." The man known as Hoskins replied in the same cold manner way that Owen greeted him.
"What do you want?" Owen asked. I heard him say. "Oh, I just came by to check on my raptors." I gave Hoskins a questioning look from behind Owen's back. "Your raptors?" Owen responded.
"Well, I work for the company that creates dinosaurs and funded the park. So yeah, my raptors." He spits at Owen. I had to step in. I walked in between both Owen and Hoskins,
"By the sound of your words, you think you are the one in control of these raptors. But these animals are living beings. not some creation that can take orders from somebody like you, just because you made them you believe they can take orders from you. But my brother has been working with these raptors for months now, maybe even longer. But, what have you done?" I said
Owen chuckled at my statement and Hoskins was red in the face. But he gave me a weird look. I look at him confused. "What is up with his eyes?" He asked Owen, he turned to me. "Jay, what is with your eyes?" Owen asked in a serious tone I looked up at him with a confused expression. I took out my phone and opened the camera app and looked at my right eye, it was completely fine. "I don't know what you guys are talking about?" I asked Owen, he lets out a sigh and drops the subject.
"So, who is the fiesty kid over here?"He asked with a smirk on his face. Before I could respond. Owen took a step in front of me in a protective-brotherly-way. "None of your damn business!" He replied to Hoskins.
Hoskins seemed pissed that he walked away from us to talk to an operator. I laugh a little bit and I and Owen made our way to the paddock.
Once we got close to it, another man came up to Owen. He was tall, black, and pretty much a nice guy, unlike Hoskins. He and Owen give each other a 'bro hug'. "Barry, this is my lil bro Jason." Barry turned to me with a smile on his face "Hello, I'm Barry. I'm your brother's partner for the raptors." He said shaking my hand. "Jason" I replied. "Ready to go see the raptors?" He asked, I nodded and we went inside.
Owen went right to the top of the paddock, while Barry and I stand on the side. I could still see-through. But, the only thing that separated me from the dinosaurs were a set of bars. I stared into the paddock when a pig run inside, then finally came the raptors. I couldn't believe my eyes, they were freakin real. I'm seeing these creatures, these living dinosaurs, with my own two eyes. There were four in total and seeing them working together as a team was incredible.
The pig ran into a small door that prevented the raptors from going in. "Want to move to the top?" Barry asked I nodded. We moved to the top of the paddock around where Owen was. Owen had a clicker in his hand and hits to get the raptor's attention. "Their names are Charlie, Echo, Delta, and Blue," Barry told me while pointing at each one. All the raptors were looking at Owen when one of them looked at me. It was Echo. I felt a weird sudden change within my body, Echo looked at me and I looked right back, suddenly she came to the edge where I was standing and continued to look right back at me.
The rest of the raptors didn't notice what Echo was looking at. Owen tried to get Echo's attention but no prevail. Why is she looking at me that way? She is not looking at me with hunger or preparation to attack me, but with kindness? I don't know nor can I tell what is going through its head. Barry pulled me away from the railing and downstairs and the weird feeling suddenly disappeared.
Once I came downstairs, Echo went wild, and all hell broke loose. I went inside the cage section that blocks off the entrance to the paddock and stretched out my hand and placed on Echo's head, and she calmed down. Owen came downstairs and ran up to me and pulled me away while Echo ran back to the others.
"What the hell just happened?" He said with a stern tone clearly evident in his voice. "I-I don't know." I just stood there, confused about what just occurred, then something flashed I saw an albino dinosaur, the raptors, me, Owen and three other people standing aside from the raptors, I grabbed my head "What's wrong?"Barry asked in alarm.
"My head hurts." I said "Why doesn't Barry take you to the park? I'll come and pick you up when I'm done working. Keep in touch with me okay?" Owen said I knew because of what happened he would need to work for a longer period.
"Sure." I said and I begin walking until I felt his arm on my shoulder "I thought I should let you know, you'll be staying with me, I'll show you later, but I live in a cabin close to here. And you have some explaining to do" He said. I felt myself getting nervous, but I nodded. Barry leads me to the jeep and drove me back to the park.
