I SIT ON A CHAIR WITH AIDEN SAT OPPOSITE ME WITH A FIRST AID KIT TO HIS LEFT AS HE ATTEMPTS TO AID MY WOUNDED LEG WHICH LAY ON HIS LAP. i still am questioning myself how i coped without him. his face remains concentrated as he analysed the wound. the second i sat down catching my breath he turned his attention to me offering to clear out the wound.
ian has been trying to the phone for about 5 minutes in hope for help until he gives up.
"can't get hold of anybody since everything is, uh, on fire." he announces to the group as dad walks past him holding bottles of water giving him a glare.
"dr. sattler, get some water." he says handing him the bottle
"oh. thanks." she appreciates as he moves over to alan
"dr. grant? here you are." he hands him the bottle "i'm, uh... owen grady." he introduces "big fan. i read your book." he says causing me to snort earning a smile from aiden "well, book on tape." dad confirms
"owen grady, owen grady." alan repeats his name causing dad to squint "yeah, i know who you are. you trained raptors."
"yeah. i tried. yeah." he chuckles
mom walks over to maisie carrying an extra first aid kit she found in the building aiding the wounds that were on maisie's face.
"you, uh... were at jurassic world." ellie says at dad, i frown at the sudden memory
"jurassic world?" ian speaks up "not a fan." as dad hums. i feel aiden's piercing eyes staring through my skull as i turn to face him; that thrown then becomes a smile.
"hey." i mutter "hi." he responds with a light chuckle as he zips up the first kit slowly placing my leg on the floor carefully.
"you know, when this is all over we should go on a date." i suggest as he moves his chair closer
"where? a museum?" he guesses, my eyes automatically lighting up at his answer
"you know me too well." i tell him
"i was thinking maybe a plane museum next on the list?" he asks me
"definitely." i concur, however our moment is ended when kayla jumps down from the ladder.
"okay, so we good to find a way out of here?" she asks
"yep." both dad and aiden say together
"let's get it." she tells us as both make our way to the table dad was leaning on soon to be joined by mom "there's a helicopter out in the main complex. we turn the ADS back on, we go home."
"wait what's an ADS?" ellie asks kayla "aerial deterrent system" i tell her as all eyes turn to me
"yeah." kayla confirms
"oh, uh..."
"you know, for the pterodactyls and shit." kayla explains "keeps them away from the helicopters."
"well, how do we turn it back on?" maisie questions joining us at the table
"okay, it looks like all the systems run through to the control room which is on the third floor." mom tells the group following the pathways shown on the map
"these outposts are all connected underground." dad tells us
he soon makes his way towards a door which took both him and alan to open. "all right, easy, rambo." he warns ian who appears to be holding a gun
mom climbs down the ladder first lighting the torch through the long hallway.
"so you worked in a raptor pen, huh?" ian asks dad in disbelief
"yeah."
"wow, and what- what happens? do you just tell 'em what to do, and they, uh... they comply or...?" the older man wonders
"well, it's a human/animal bond based on mutual respect." dad says resulting in me nudging aiden "here he goes." i mutter trying to hold in my laughter. ian hums in understanding before dad turns around checking for anything behind.
"had a dog once. humped my leg so much, i... I got a callous on my shinbone." ian says causing my laughter to slip out
"are you being serious?" i ask him
"it's a true story, honest."
"jesus." i reply as we continue to walk.
we make it to the control room and get a huge view of biosyns destruction. the control panels sitting in-front of us.
"oh, this is very bad." ian says reading my thoughts
"this is the same system we used at the park." mom realises
"great, so we can, uh, turn on the... the thing, and then we all get out of here?" ian says in hope
"let's see. ADS..." she mutters to herself tapping away until a red error comes upon the screen "what's this? what- what's error 99? she questions
a voice erupts from the distance.
"not enough power. in a breakdown, all available power is seized by the primary system to keep running. we need all that power to reactivate the the ADS." ramsay informs us
"so they system's safety feature is what's gonna kill us?" alan asks in disbelief
"of course." kayla mutters to herself
"how do we get more power?" aiden asks ramsay
"uh, we'll, we can't, but we can redistribute what we have if we just... just need to..." he rambles
"shut down the primary system." i fill in the blank for him as he turns to face me
"yes, exactly."
"where is it?" mom asks him moving from the chair
"uh, next floor up."
"i'm coming with you." ellie says following after her
maisie points at the screen "we escaped from here."
"where is that?" dad asks
"water treatment center."
"hydroelectric system— sub eight"
mom looks up at dad
"give me eight minutes, i could find her."
"wait, who's this now?" ellie asks
"beta." maisie says
"blue's baby." i confirm
"velociraptor." kayla tells her
"what?"
"a baby raptor?" alan asks
"and you gave her a name. how about that?"
"i made a promise we would bring her home." aiden smiles most likely recalling that moment
"you made a promise to a dinosaur." he challenges
"that's normal for him." i reassure
"you're coming with us, right?" maisie asks alan
"maisie, i..."
"please."
"i'll be on channel five." dad tells ian chucking the walkie-talkie to him
"okay."
"we're on three." ellie leans reaching forwards
"we'll be on six." i tell the group leaning forwards
mom sighs facing dad "come back." he tilts his head "i always come back."
"I'll have that chopper hot in ten. wait for my signal." kayla tells the group "aiden, haze." she calls us
i grab aiden's forearm following kayla who took the lead
