"woahhh" me and zach both say in unison. we enter the clearly abandoned building, covered with overgrown vines hanging from the shattered windows on the ceiling. with all sorts of trees and shrubs coming from the ground below us. zach grabs an old dinosaur bone and picks up the banner from underneath. "you still have those matches?" zach asks gray, to which he pulls a box of them out of his fanny pack. "here you go" he then hands them over. zach wraps the banner around the bone and lights it on fire. as he's doing that i climb up one of the fallen platforms to get a better look over the place. as i look from the top i 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 realise where we are, it's the abandoned visitor centre from jurassic park, the original one that got closed in 1993. i climb down again as we keep walking further into the building.

as we walk into a darker area, we walk past a huge painting on one of the walls, i grab zachs hand to stop him. "hold on a sec come here" i pull him back a bit and he holds up the makeshift torch to show a slightly scaled down velociraptor. i quickly run my hand over the uneven surface before we keep walking. as we continue going further into the building, me and zach keep our fingers intertwined. "hey gray" i yell back at him as i catch him still staring at the painting. "you have to keep up, claire would kill me if something happened to you." i say with a slightly annoyed tone although i really am worried about him.

we walk through a smaller doorway into what seems to be a garage sort of room. boxes full of nails, screws and bolts cover the walls. we can hear a faint drip of liquid echo through the room every so often. i let go of zach's hand and walk over to gray. he's knelt down next to a grimy looking shelf holding what i think are night vision goggles, he clicks a button making the lenses extend towards us, causing him to jump back a little. i let out a small snicker at him then keep walking.

all three of us approach an old car though i'm not quite sure what model- "1992 jeep wrangler sahara. sand beige." gray blurts out as though he can read my mind. i just stare at him in front of me for a second. "you remember when we fixed up grandpa's old malibu, right?" zach asks gray. "yeah..." he replies. "well then let's get started on this" without hesitation zach walks over to all the wrenches and screwdrivers to grab what he needs while gray goes to get fuel i think.

"HEY WHAT DO I DO?!" i yell over to zach. "JUST STAY THERE FOR A SECOND" i do as he says and sit on top of the car hood while waiting. after a minute or two he walks back over and places everything on the passenger seat. "come on let's go and help gray" he says to me, we both walk outside to where gray is trying to sort out fuel. we kneel down beside him and reach for the petrol.

leaves rustle behind us causing us all to turn around. "you think it's out there?" zach asks us. i give him a look that says 'you and i both know it's out there' but i turn to face gray, only to see fear in his eyes and heavy breathing causing his chest to rise and fall at an uncomfortably fast pace. "i mean, i know for a fact that it's definitely not out there. alright? we're totally safe." i hear zac state from beside me. "here, go take this. you're stronger than me." he hands the canister of petrol over to gray to try and lift his courage.

the two boys get to work on actually fixing the car while i just sit here in the passenger seat with my feet up on the dashboard. as they do their thing we get a conversation rolling. " so y/n are you actually going to explain this 'training' thing to us now?" zach asks me. "do you do some sort of martial arts? because that would be really cool" gray adds.

"actually no, i'm not the one doing the training, i'm actually the one teaching it" i stop for a second before i continue to explain. "i work with my older brother owen and we are in charge of the velociraptors, meaning..." i get cut off "HOLD ON, WHAT?!" gray nearly yells. "did you just say the velociraptors?" zach also asks. "yeah i work with the velociraptors, we train them to respond to commands and just generally be obedient. it's an often misconception that these creatures are monsters but that simply isn't the case. me and owen have formed quite a trusting bond with these animals and have never been properly attacked. it's all about showing dominance." they both stand there for a minute, completely stopping what they're working on.

"that's really crapping cool"
"that's not how you use the word gray" zach points out " but i do agree that is pretty cool" his mouth curls into a smile as he says this, causing a slight blush to flush through my cheeks.

they keep working for a while and we keep talking about the velociraptors. "alright, turn it over" zach says to me and then closes the hood of the car. i turn the key in the car and the engine starts. we all let out little victory noises then i move back into the passenger seat while zach moves into the drivers seat next to me. gray crawls into the the middle seat in the back, then we all clip our seatbelts in (safety first)

"i thought you failed your drivers test." gray says to zach "no. only the driving part." he jokes, we all smile then we set on our way. the car speeds forwards into the forest and we leave the building far behind.
