My shift was over along with Ben's. To my surprise, we weren't allowed to stay in control room. They wanted as much people under control as possible, and they didn't want us spreading more than we already know. Ben than stands in front of me. 

"What do we do?" 

I stare at Ben. There is nothing we can do, the boat doesn't arrive until 3 hours from now, and it's probably already reserved. 

"Let's go back to our hotel room and reserve a spot on the boats." 

"Good Idea." 

We head up to my room and I look into my laptop. 

Next Available Ship 

Today at 4 AM 

No fucking way. Was every single boat reserved full? I reserve the spot anyway, and spill the beans to Ben, while he's eating dinner. I see him eating his food and head over to seat beside him. 

"Next ship is today at 4 AM. Believe it." 

He looks at me and rolls his eyes, but he just continues eating... And eating... He smacks his fork right into the meatball and then shoves it in his mouth.

"Do you find that stuff good? Honestly?"

"I made you some the other day. Did you like it?" 

I was gonna lie for a second, but then I realized it doesn't really matter. Better be honest... 

"It was disgusting. I threw it out." 

The look on his face changed from being happy to sad to disappointment. 

"I think I lost my appetite." 

I immediately feel really bad about saying that. I stop him from throwing away his food. 

"I'll eat the rest."

"I thought you..."

I quickly dump the spaghetti into my mouth and start chewing for a couple of seconds. Gross. But I keep chewing and chewing until it all goes down. He then looks at me with a very confused face and then sits down. 

"You know, you're really nice. You always try to cheer people up when their down." 

"I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've done it." 

He then starts to recall times from the bus, where I thought he was a creepy stalker, but than became friends after he started feeling bad. Or how I gave up my position in the control room for him to work there, even though I really did want to work with the Velociraptors. 

I then realized something deep down in my mind. I liked Ben, not as a friend, but as an actual partner, like a boyfriend. Then, at the very moment I leaned in a kissed him. I didn't realize I was doing it, until he started doing it back to me, eventually, we had to stop because I got a phone call. 

"Hi this is Rachel..." 

"Rachel. It's Owen, I'm with Claire right now, But I want you to check on the Velociraptors, The control room sent as a very weird call. Get there ASAP." 

He than hung up on me, and I told Ben the situation. He decided to come along and as soon as we got to the Velociraptor station, I saw something was wrong. Millions of InGen members surrounded the 4 Velociraptors, mostly Blue. Than, Owen's assistant comes up to me. 

"They want to use the raptors against the Indominus. I think that's a crazy idea." 

Than, behind me I look at the sky and I see millions of Pterodactyl and other dinosaurs from the Aviary fly towards the main area of Jurassic World. They all go down and come back up with people in there mouths, I start running towards there, with Ben right behind me. I get a text message on my phone, But I can't really check it. Upon arriving where the dinosaurs are, it's chaotic as hell. Billions of people are getting picked up, and the unlucky ones getting eaten by the Mosasaurus when the Pterodactyls were holding them. I quickly check my phone now. 

Masrani is dead. 

I head back to the Velociraptors, but it's too late. InGen is gone, and their locks are secured with InGen security.
