Separate Ways

Thomas, one of Alan's interns, slowed the truck down to a halt as they followed Felix on the motorcycle. Alan wondered what was going on however once he peered off into the distance he could see why they had stopped.

The fork in the road made it abundantly clear that Alan had to let his daughter go in a separate direction than he was going. He didn't want to but, he knew there was no way he could stop her. Kate was ten times more stubborn than Emma. He didn't know whether to like that or not. "Stay here." Alan instructed his interns who numbly nodded their heads in obedience.

With a stiff motion Alan propped the door open, hopping off to the ground as Felix and Kate approached him. "We're going to have to split off. It'll save us some time to get Emma back." Felix commanded as he sauntered over to Alan.

Alan placed his hands on his hips questionably. Felix couldn't help but, feel a bit small under his gaze. He didn't want to mess up but, this was the only way to get Emma back safely. He trusted Alan could handle himself on the InGen vessel.

He's survived three dinosaur attacks Alan was overflowing with luck. Lord knows Felix probably couldn't get her back. He cleared his throat as he pointed towards a dirt road to the right.

"This is the maintenance road to the dock where the freight that drops off food for all of the animals come in. It's also the ferry harbor. So it's the only place on the island, InGen could really bring dinosaurs through." Alan froze up as he said the word dinosaurs. Great. He was going to encounter more dinosaurs which was the exact opposite of what he wanted.

"Find the boat that Emma's on and get her to the evacuation center. She'll be safe there." Felix instructed, his voice quivering a bit at the end. He hoped that this would work. It was going somewhat against Owen's plan since he was supposed to help Alan get to Emma but, there was no time, and no one else could lure Rexie into the battle.

Alan pursed his lips firmly together in a frown. He glanced over at Kate who had been relatively quiet this whole time. No snide remarks or anything. He nodded his head towards Felix in a agreement before making his way over to his youngest daughter.

Kate kept her arms crossed as she looked at her father's tired eyes. She knew he was going to ask her to come with him to make sure that both of his kids were still safe but, she was going to give him a firm no. What she got was the exact opposite.

She jumped in surprised as Alan leaned towards her for a hug. Not saying a word. She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly for a moment before he stood back up. "I know there's no chance of me convincing you to go back to the evacuation center-"

Kate let out a loud snort. There it was. Alan tried his best not to roll his eyes. He sighed. "But could you at least stay safe? For me? For your mother? For Emma?" Alan persisted, earning a modest look from Kate. "Yeah." She mumbled under her breath.

With one last embrace, Alan was headed off back to his truck. Alan climbed up into the truck, huffing in the process. "Head towards the docks." He instructed Thomas, pointing towards the dirt road.

Aria held up a questioning brow. "Aren't they coming too?" She asked her instructor. He solemnly shook his head. "No time. They're bringing the party." Alan chided.

The paddock was pitch black. Nothing but, the sounds of crickets was heard. Kate couldn't help but let out a yawn as they approached the tyrannosaur paddock.

She shuffled her feet along the concrete behind Felix who was lighting up the way with a flashlight. He had never been in the paddock when it was night time. He didn't know how Rexie was going to act.
