We pull up to a building that's swarmed with a bunch of armed guards. Owen, the guy from earlier jumps out the car, leaving it open, Claire does as well, but closes the door. I look at them and that's when Bella gets out, I try to talk to her before she slams the door.

"Shit.." I look back at Owen as soon as he punches some over weight guy across the face, me and Gray gasp.

"Oh shit-" gray whispers and I smack his arm and that's when he points, "no look!" I run back and see Bella punch him in the other side of his cheek before full on attacking him, yelling and kicking at his ribs.

"Oh," I grab the door handle and jump out the car, running to grab her off of him. She smacks him one more time before I rip her off of him.

"Hey hey hey," Owen tries calming her down but she doesn't acknowledge him. She pants and I pull her behind me, Claire and Owen stare at her in shock before the guy stands up groaning.

"Isabella-" he begins before I stare daggers at him.

"You know her?" I ask, Bella takes deep breathes behind me.

"She's one of my friends daughters," he spits on blood to the side.

"Are they..." Owen asks, pointing to both of us, I give him an odd look.

"I-i don't know..." Claire shrugs and I roll my eyes before nodding.

"We'll leave you to whatever the hell you guys do," I turn around wrapping my arms around Bella's shoulder, "you have anger issues," I joke and she laughs lightly.

"Sorry, it's just, that guys taking the raptors' and using them, I just- I cant-," she sighs, "I can't even imagine that." She says, she clenches her small fists and I smile.

Feisty.

Gray comes out of the car as well before everyone goes inside.

"You don't understand Zach," she turns me around, "the raptors' have never been out captivity, they could either kill a bunch of people or help, I don't think any of this is okay. He can't just use them and expect the best of the situation!" She pleads and I stare at her, I can't do anything.

"I'm sorry Isabella, I can't do anything about this, I wish I could," I friend and she nods.

"I-i know," she shakes her head before sighing and turning back around. Owen and Claire walk inside, she's quick to follow, asking Owen multiple questions.

"I like her, a lot." Gray smiles, watching as she walks into the building.

"I do too..."

We know that she is in sector five. This is a game we call hide-and-seek. It's a scent drill. We've done it about a thousand times with these animals. When they get on target, and they will get on target, wait to engage. Velociraptors are pack hunters. They like to herd the animal into a kill zone. That's when we take our shot. Get a clear shot, wait on my command, and give her everything you got. We got one good target, gentlemen. Do not shoot my Raptors," Owen looks around at the guards he's explaining the mission too, "please!" He says demandingly. Me and Gray watch as Isabella tries to find an explanation or a way out of this with other guards and scientists, but they have no choice. Owen walks over to a growling dinosaur, a raptor I'm guessing. Isabella walks over to him, pleading him not to go through with this.

They seem to know each other...

She looks back at the enraged dinosaur that's trapped in the wall, it's head being held on by metal. Her cheeks are a dark shade of red and her eyes are glossy. Owen gives her a sympathetic speech, she rolls her eyes and combs through her hair with her hand before tears roll down her cheek for the millionth time today... Owen pulls her into a tight hug, she shares his embrace, wrapping her small arms around him. I sigh and stare down at my feet.

I wish I could help...

After the hug, she walks over to me and Gray. Gray looks up at her with sad eyes.

"You okay?" He asks and she nods, running his arm.

"I'll be alright," she sniffles and sits in between us, "what about you?" She looks at him, he shrugs.

"Could be better," he laughs and she smiles along with him. Owen walks over to the angry dinosaur, in hopes of calming it down. Bella puts her head on my shoulder as we watch Owen calm down a dinosaur named, 'Blue'.

"Easy, Blue. Easy. Attagirl. You don't scare me." I tilt my head at his choice of words. I put my arm around Isabella and she nuzzles into my neck.

"Owen. Are they safe?" Gray messes with his fingers nervously as he asks Owen.

"No, they're not," he sighs, moving away from, 'Blue', looking instinctively at Isabella.

"What are their names?" I tell him and he looks back at the dinosaurs locked in a row.

"Well, you got Charlie. There's Echo. Here is Delta. This one's called Blue.
She's the beta." He chuckles, clasping his hands together, he smiles at Bella.

"Who's the alpha?" I ask and he smiles.

"You're looking at him, kid." Owen winks at us, we smile before Claire comes to gather us. We stand up and walk towards the van, Bella goes up to Owen and yells him something. He smiles softly at her before nodding, she looks worried. He reassures her before hugging her, Aunt Claire tugs me back towards the van, leaving me clueless.

"See? Totally safe," she croaks as she opens the back of the vans large doors, "All right, get in, Come on," she helps gray up and I climb inside, "Get in there," Bella walks up next to her, she looks concerned, worry written all over her, "go ahead," Claire smiles at her, I extend my hand and help her up before letting her sit in the chair, "If you need me, I'll be right up front.
Just open that window," she points to the sliding window that's on the wall to our backs, we all nod, Gray sits down, I sit on the seat that's on the side of the van, "Okay? Put your seatbelts on." We nod, turning to get our seatbelts but quite frankly, there aren't any. We look back at her and her mouth hangs open.

"Okay, so just, hold hands," she insists before nodding and shutting the doors. I lower my head and run my fingers through my hair.

"Um... " Gray looks around tediously, "Nothing's getting in here, right?" He gulps and I sit up and bend down in front of him.

"Hey. Do you remember that
ghost at the old house? Remember, the one in the garage?I protected you, right?" I remind him and he smiles at the ground before nodding.

"You made a battle ax out of
a ruler and a paper plate." He messes with his fingers, I glance at Bella who has a warm smile spread across her mouth.

"Yeah," I look back at Gray, "See, nothing is gonna get you while I'm around, okay?" I grab onto his hand and he looks up at me.

"But you're not always gonna be around." He frowns and I bite my inner cheek.

"Yeah, well..." I try to think of what to say, "Hey... We're brothers, okay? We'll always be brothers, and we'll always come back to one another. No matter what." I swear to him, meaning every word. I know I'm really hard on him most of the time, and I hate it, but I can't help it. It's just how I've known to be.

"No matter what?" A spark of hope glistens in him.

"No matter what." He engulfs me in a hug, slightly pushing me back before I chuckle, holding tightly onto my little brother.
