The Jurassic Family

Chapter 4: Meet the T-Rex and Tylosaurus

The next day, Peyton put her cousin at the daycare, having told to Joseline about the hybrids. Joseline was a Brazilian woman in her 50s with an exceptional ability to handle children. She accepted to take Valentina among other children in the daycare, as she knew Peyton volunteered to accompany Tim and his men while her father was training the Utahraptors.

Peyton also told her cousin to do whatever Joseline ordered, no matter what. Valentina had to obey, as she didn't want to be reprimanded by her uncle and cousin again. As Valentina was playing with Arya and Ygrit, Peyton came in Main Street alongside Tim and his men, practicing close-quarter battle drills in an abandonned shed separated from the visitors thanks to a high wall.

Meanwhile, Owen was with Hoskins and Barry overseeing the Utahraptors. Owen saw Blue and her sisters were much more obedient than prior to Valentina's arrival.

"They're so peaceful now." Hoskins remarked.

"Yes, and I still don't know why. Probably Valentina or something in her." Barry commented.

"True. And even when the little girl's away, they still remain calm. They didn't even get angry when Peyton scolded her." Hoskins said.

As they were discussing of Utahraptor behavior, Owen came by and waved at them.

"Hi guys. Bad news is I gotta go help Dr. Wu measure the T-Rex paddock so we can build a real home for our two new hybrids he created." Owen announced.

"Ah, and what are their names?" Barry asked.

"Peyton named the Ygrid and Arya." Owen explained.

"Game of Thrones" Hoskins answered as Owen nodded.

Then Owen got a text from Dr. Wu, who informed him he would need a sharpshooter to cover him from a perch while he was busy taking some notes in Paddock 9. Owen texted back he'll come now and ran to his motorcycle and drove towards Paddock 9.

At Main Street, Peyton has finished training with Tim and his men. The group then headed to Paddock 9, where they saw Owen preparing both his Marlin rifle and a M4A1 carbine fitted with a Pentagon M3d light, a Magpul angled foregrip, a DBAL laser module, a Magpul stock and a Tasco red dot sight. Owen saw his daughter, Tim and his men coming in the exhibit.

"Dr. Wu, I think we got some unexpected help." Owen informed Wu.

"Tim Murphy and his guys. And your daughter Peyton" Wu told Owen

With that said, Peyton, her father, Tim and his men went inside the T-Rex paddock, which housed a forest looking like the ones we could see in Canada or Oregon. In the glassway, Joseline and other children, among whom Valentina with Arya and Ygrid in her satchel, came close to the soundproof glass. Valentina, Ygrid and Arya saw Owen, his daughter, Tim and his men inside the paddock alongside Dr. Wu. Fortunately for them, Rexy was busy eating a huge chunk of meat as Wu prepared a tranquilizer rifle with some carfentanil to sedate Rexy.

As Rexy was still busy eating her lunch, Wu aimed his tranquilizer rifle at her neck and fired it, hitting the dinosaur right behind the ear. The dinosaur roared before going to sleep in a calm erea of the paddock. Owen then took a laser rangefinder, aimed it at the other end of the paddock and wrote down the length of the wall. For the width of the future paddock, he just wrote down the lenght of the glassway. Owen then quadrupled the dimensions while Wu wrote down environmental notes so that the vegetation would fit Arya and Ygrid in their new paddock.

Peyton kept an eye on Rexy with her M4A1 carbine, fitted with an AN/PAS-13 thermal sight, an AN/PEQ-2 laser module, a Surefire M900 grip-light and a Magpul CTR stock. Thanks to the thermal sight on her carbine, Peyton saw a sleeping Rexy glowing white in a red crosshair. Just then, Owen nodded to Wu and Tim, meaning everyone was to get out of Paddock 9. Tim and his men exited first, followed by Owen and Dr. Wu with Peyton exiting last before the gate was closed.
