Welcome to Jurassic World

Out of the estate

"So... you sure about this?" He asked me as he stopped the car. "Well, no, but I have no idea where else we could go, since my apartment is too small for the three of us, just like that van you sleep in." "Hey, I'm building a cabin." "I know, but the van is still too small. Anyhow, I... don't want to be separated, you know? Not now." "Yeah, I get it, neither do I, but you really think she'll take us in?" "We can try." "I still think a hotel is a better idea." "And risk the press finding us?" "They'll find us anyway." "They'll find us sooner if we stay at a hotel." He sighed, "Whatever." He started the car again, "Where does she live." I gave him the address. "Huh, not too far from here. Did they move?" together for a while after what happened, for the sake of the boys but, they couldn't keep it up much longer." "Sad." "Oh well, it would have been worse for them if they'd stayed together." "That's true." "So, yes, it may be said, but it's probably for the better."

It wasn't long before Owen pulled into the driveway. "Where are we?" Maisie asked us from behind us. "We're... well... at the house of a family member of mine," I told her. "And we can stay here?" "I hope. Maybe it's a good idea if I talk to her first, you know, just for a few seconds," I said as I turned to Owen. "Yeah, but don't take too long." "I won't, I promise."

I opened the door of the car and got out. I took a deep breath, slammed the car door shut and walked up to the door. There I breathed out before ringing the bell. It didn't take long for the door to open up. "Hey Karen," I said as my sister appeared in view. "Claire?" "Hi." "You... ARE YOU OKAY?" "You heard about what happened on the island, didn't you?" "OF COURSE I DID, THE WHOLE BLOODY PLACE WAS COVERED IN LAVA!" Can you maybe stop screaming?" "WE THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT!" "Well... I did... surprise?" She then hugged me, "Dammit Claire, don't ever do that to me again!" "Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going back to an island with an active volcano. Not really an ideal holiday destination." She chuckled as she let go of me to take me in. "What happened to your leg?" "Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs happened. Uh... look, I have a lot to explain and I've had quite a rough 24 or I don't know how many hours... could we talk inside?" "You me and the people in that car?" She asked me as she looked past me, "Is that Owen?" "Yes, and yes." "Claire..." "It's a long story..." "Are you guys back together again?" "Well... uh... maybe. I did kiss him." "Did you tell him about..?" "You really think I had the time for that? Tonight? After the whole dinosaur thing?" "You could have told him when you tried to get him on your team." "Yeah, like he would have come then. Can we come in or no?" "Sure, come in. I want to hear your story, how you survived the lava and all." "Good, let me call them. Owen, Maisie, are you guys coming?"

"You did what?" I was telling the story, but Karen kept interrupting me. "You fell into the water in one of those giant hamster balls?" "Yes." "You could have drowned!" "But I didn't, I mean, I almost did, but I didn't." "You almost drowned?" "Mom, cam you please calm down?" Grey had come downstairs as soon as I had rang the doorbell, now he was sitting next to his mom, listening to the story Owen and I were telling them. "She almost drowned Grey!" "But I got out! And we got to the coast safely!" "You could have been dead!" "Mom, come on, she's alive, and she's okay. Can you please relax?" She took a deep breath, "Okay, fine, continue." "So, we reached the coast safely, like Claire said, you know, dodging all the dinosaurs and all." "Not working, Owen." "And as we got there we were angry as we realized that all of this, well, most of this had been a lie. Because well... they did take the dinosaurs, but they were gonna sell them on a bidding." "That's awful!" Grey exclaimed. "Yeah, it was." "So, we followed them onto their ship, because they thought we were dead." "You should have seen it," Owen said, "Claire drove the truck and literally jumped onto the ship with it." "Awesome!" Grey said in response. "Really Owen?" He grinned at me, "What?" "Are you trying to freak Karen out even more, look at her." She looked pretty freaked out by what she'd heard. "Hey, at least I didn't tell her about you riding the t-rex to tap her blood." "You tapped blood from a t-rex?" "It was to save Blue!" "The velociraptor?" "Yes." "Yeah, that makes it better." "Oh come on, you would have done the same thing if you'd known her. I did something good, okay?" She sighed, "If that's what you call it." "Yes, that's what I call it, can you please let us continue our story now?" she nodded, "Sure, go on."
