That night it was hard to sleep. Why? Well, two reasons. One, because tomorrow I was going to call the doctors Malcolm, Grant and Sattler to propose the Lockwood island as a safe place for the dinosaurs. Two, because, however annoying she might be, Karen was right. I should tell Owen. I thought. I should tell him and just be done with it. But... what if he gets angry though? I mean, it's a pretty big secret I've been keeping from him for quite a long time. It would only be normal for him to get angry and that won't be very helpful. Besides, these times are way too stressful. It would be better to wait a while longer. So that's what I decided to do. I decided to wait a while longer, even though waiting is partly what caused that mess.

The next morning I woke up after about three hours of sleep, feeling like I had been sleeping on a bed made of cacti. Needless to say I felt a bit like a sloth. Everything went too fast for me to actually keep up with it. Sadly I had to, mostly because I had to call Malcolm, Grant and Sattler. Fortunately that was all that was on my task list for that day. So I did it early in the morning, mostly just to be rid of it.

"Good morning," Dr. Sattler said as she picked up the phone. "Good morning, to you too." "Ah, Claire Dearing. Have you already thought of some place to put the dinosaurs?" "Well, actually my sister came up with it." "That's quick. What were you thinking of?" "The island created by the people of Mr. Lockwood. It actually exists. It would be safe for the animals since it's man made and it's far away from human population." "Sounds like a good option. I will inform Ian and Alan." "That would be great." "Thank you for your help, miss Dearing." "You're welcome." Dr. Sattler hung up.

"Well, that was a short phone call," Owen said from the other side of the table. "It was long enough," I said. "I guess. Hey, do we even know where this island is?" Damn, I knew I forgot something. "Your face says no. Oh well, there must be some way to figure it out, right?" "There should be a map in the Lockwood estate." "The Lockwood estate? Well, that's great," the sarcasm dripped off his voice as he said that. "Yeah..." "Well, guess we got no other choice right? I mean, that place might be crawling with dinosaurs, cause that's where they were locked up and all and some might be scared to explore this new world cause that's how animals are, but we need that map." "Yeah, we do need that map." "So, when are we going back?" I sighed, "Soon I'm afraid."

Luckily soon wasn't as soon as I thought it would be, because we had to arrange everything with the doctors Grant, Sattler and Malcolm, who all wanted to come along, just to make sure that somebody would get to the map and try to get the dinosaurs to safety. I also had to deal with a stubborn young woman named Zia who somehow had heard of our plans and who had announced that she'd come along. I told her it could be dangerous, she just said, "I don't care." So that was that, because I knew that whenever she set her mind on something there was no way to stop her. It was one of the reasons why I had hired her. The third problem was our tech guy. Because we were gonna need a tech guy and none of the doctors knew a tech guy so I was going to have to ask Franklin. Even before I called him, a week after calling doctor Sattler about the island, I it wasn't gonna be easy to convince him.

"Claire?" "Hey Franklin." "Why are you calling me?" "I got a question for you." "Uh oh." "It's not too bad." "Not too bad?" "Well, look, you know how the dinosaurs need to be... captured and send to a secured area, right?" "Yeah, I do." "Well to do that we need to go to the Lockwood estate. And we're gonna need a tech guy for that, because, well, you remember last time, a lot of stuff has been torn apart by dinosaurs and we can't exactly go during the day, cause it's basically locked down by the police." "You want me to do something illegal?" "Well... yes... but it's to save the world... kinda." "Aren't there still a lot of dinosaurs there?" "Possibly." "And you want me to go there?" "To help us, Owen and Zia will be there too, and Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler and Dr. Malcolm." "A bunch of old people, cause that's helpful against dinosaurs." "Well... they're slower, the dinosaurs might go for them instead of for us." "That's harsh." "It's also true." "Still, I don't think going back to that estate is a very good idea. It's certainly very bad for my mental health." "Yeah, you think it's good for my mental health? You realize I have dealt with those creatures twice by now, right?" "You can handle a lot more than me." I sighed, "Dammit Franklin, we need you!" "Can be, but I don't want to get involved with dinosaurs again. Good day Claire," and with that he hung up.
