Everyone in the room was shock to know that Val holds a powerful serum. Owen was the most shock of them all. His niece, his little Dino Princess, has been experimented. "Why?" Val whispered hugging her Uncle's legs while Monica perched on her shoulder.

"Your mother wanted it safe. She knows she can't hide it, Mortem might track it down. And the only way to hide it is in you." Carl said. "You were the most precious treasure that your mother ever made."

"Why her?" Owen asked picking up his niece, "She could've just injected to someone else. Not a little girl!"

"The serum doesn't work that way." Carl explained, "The serum could only work on a vessel that isn't born yet."

"So she injected the serum to herself so it will get to Val's unborn body state." Wu said.

"Yes," Carl sighs, "Alma made sure that the serum will become Valentina's blood."

"Wait..." Barry interrupted, "The serum became her blood?"

Carl nodded, "The serum became one with her and it cannot be taken away."

"What do you mean?" Claire asked.

"Once the serum is removed from its host, it will atomically evaporate in a few minutes and if someone injected himself, it will kill him." Carl explains, "The blood in Val's veins cannot live with out its life host."

"So the serum is deadly to be removed and to be injected." Vic said.

"That's right and Mortem knows that. Then he heard that Alma got married. Mortem started to hunt her down because he knows that she'll get a child and inject the serum to her baby. But now, he knows that Alma is dead and he found Val's location."

Owen hugs his niece close to him, "There is nowhere in hell that bastard is going to get my niece."

"That maybe a problem," Carl said, "He's a deadly man and he will stop at nothing to get that serum. He'll even hire an assassin to get what he wants."

"But, how did he know that Val lives here?" Gray asked.

"Mortem must've sent a spy to find her." Carl said. "The spy must've been a skilled one to infiltrate the park with ease."

"So we have a spy on the park." Barry said looking at the screen with many tourists walking about.

"Do you know who the spy is?" Owen asked.

"I don't know..." Dale said, "But all I know is that Mortem hires a skilled fighter and escape artist."

While the adults talk, Val hugs her uncle close. Her mind is both confused and scared. All she wanted was to live with her Uncle. Owen saw this and said. "I'm gonna take Val home."

Everyone looks at him, "Alright." Claire said.

"I'll go back to the paddock and bring the girls back to their pens." Barry said, "Mike, Jay, help me out." The two male teens nodded and followed Barry. Jay looks back and watched Owen carries Val, with Monica on his shoulder, home. Jay clenches his fists before going out with Mike and Barry.

As he did, Claire looks at Carl, "Can you tell us about the serum and what it is purpose?" she asked.

"The serum of Alma is very powerful." Dale said walking towards the screen, "It can give the person abilities."

"Like?" Wu asked.

"To understand life, have pheromones of different animal species, advance hearing, smelling, high intelligence and having strong bonds with creatures unknown. It also can give the user the ability to make a distress call and has healing abilities." Carl explained.
