The light in the room grew dimmer as Claire pulled out the dull coloured chair. "Tell me everything you know.... starting from the beginning."

 "I don't know what you're talking about."

 "Yes you do. Now tell me where she is! Where did you put Blue!?"

 "I told you I was working at the Lockwood mansion the night of the meet. I smelled smoke so I went downstairs to see what was going on. And Blue was down there along with several other dinosaurs. There was a Pachy out of her cage so I called security and they helped me put her back in. That was the only interaction I have ever had with Blue." 

"That's not what you told Owen."

 "What's the point of doing this. Dinosaurs are real. They are alive!" 

"I am fully aware they are alive. But that's not the point."

 "People have not yet found a proper and safe way to co-exists with these beasts! You know that Claire!"

 "Of course I know that. I've been working with dinosaurs my whole life. And I can tell when they feel threatened! And when they are threatened they hunt even if they aren't hungry. So we need to know where you put Blue! Before she teams up with Rexy and destroys this planet and life as we know it! So you're gonna get me the coordinates for Blue or you can say goodbye to your promotion!" He gives her a distorted look. *Sigh* Then leans back in his chair and puts his hands to the back of his head.

"He still won't tell us." Owen throws his hands up and kicks a chair

"Shit! We need to find her!" 

"I know Owen! That!.... that's the whole point of him being here." 

"You threatened his promotion right?"

 "Yes. And his spot on the force and his allowance to be in contact with any type of dinosaur." Claire looked at him hopefully. Trying to find a sense of happiness in his lost eyes. 

 "And he said that it's nearly impossible to not be in contact with a dinosaur considering there are 12 species." 

"Damnit!" 

"I know." 

"What do we do now?"

 "You're the expert! Aren't you supposed to keep track of these kinds of things?" The room is dark and Owen looks free through the one sided glass. 

"We need to go get Maisie." She looks down at the table, knowing that Owen won't want to go with her to get Maisie

 "I know. You get back. I'm not leaving until we know where Blue is." 

"Okay..... bye." She gives him a kiss on the cheek, folds her jacket in her arms and walks off. 

 "Wait." Owen says before the doors open. 

"Yes?" 

"I'll see you at home." 

Claire looks down at the ground again. 

"Yeah. See you at home."

"I thought he was going to say 'I love you.' But all he said was 'I'll see you at home.' Who says that!?" 

"An idiot that's who." Says her sister over the phone. "Listen. You've known Owen for a long time. Now if you wanted him to say that too you. You're obviously feeling it. Just go for it. You guys have been together for three years." 

"I know. But he should have said it. I have to go. Maisie is calling. Bye"

 "Bye." 

Claire hangs up the phone and switches the line over to Maisie. She puts her hands back on the wheel. "Hey Maisie."
