Thomas, one of Alan's interns, slowed the truck down to a halt as they followed Felix on the motorcycle. Alan wondered what was going on however once he peered off into the distance he could see why they had stopped.
The fork in the road made it abundantly clear that Alan had to let his daughter go in a separate direction than he was going. He didn't want to but, he knew there was no way he could stop her. Kate was ten times more stubborn than Emma. He didn't know whether to like that or not. "Stay here." Alan instructed his interns who numbly nodded their heads in obedience.
With a stiff motion Alan propped the door open, hopping off to the ground as Felix and Kate approached him. "We're going to have to split off. It'll save us some time to get Emma back." Felix commanded as he sauntered over to Alan.
Alan placed his hands on his hips questionably. Felix couldn't help but, feel a bit small under his gaze. He didn't want to mess up but, this was the only way to get Emma back safely. He trusted Alan could handle himself on the InGen vessel.
He's survived three dinosaur attacks Alan was overflowing with luck. Lord knows Felix probably couldn't get her back. He cleared his throat as he pointed towards a dirt road to the right.
"This is the maintenance road to the dock where the freight that drops off food for all of the animals come in. It's also the ferry harbor. So it's the only place on the island, InGen could really bring dinosaurs through." Alan froze up as he said the word dinosaurs. Great. He was going to encounter more dinosaurs which was the exact opposite of what he wanted.
"Find the boat that Emma's on and get her to the evacuation center. She'll be safe there." Felix instructed, his voice quivering a bit at the end. He hoped that this would work. It was going somewhat against Owen's plan since he was supposed to help Alan get to Emma but, there was no time, and no one else could lure Rexie into the battle.
Alan pursed his lips firmly together in a frown. He glanced over at Kate who had been relatively quiet this whole time. No snide remarks or anything. He nodded his head towards Felix in a agreement before making his way over to his youngest daughter.
Kate kept her arms crossed as she looked at her father's tired eyes. She knew he was going to ask her to come with him to make sure that both of his kids were still safe but, she was going to give him a firm no. What she got was the exact opposite.
She jumped in surprised as Alan leaned towards her for a hug. Not saying a word. She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him tightly for a moment before he stood back up. "I know there's no chance of me convincing you to go back to the evacuation center-"
Kate let out a loud snort. There it was. Alan tried his best not to roll his eyes. He sighed. "But could you at least stay safe? For me? For your mother? For Emma?" Alan persisted, earning a modest look from Kate. "Yeah." She mumbled under her breath.
With one last embrace, Alan was headed off back to his truck. Alan climbed up into the truck, huffing in the process. "Head towards the docks." He instructed Thomas, pointing towards the dirt road.
Aria held up a questioning brow. "Aren't they coming too?" She asked her instructor. He solemnly shook his head. "No time. They're bringing the party." Alan chided.
-
The paddock was pitch black. Nothing but, the sounds of crickets was heard. Kate couldn't help but let out a yawn as they approached the tyrannosaur paddock.
She shuffled her feet along the concrete behind Felix who was lighting up the way with a flashlight. He had never been in the paddock when it was night time. He didn't know how Rexie was going to act.
He nervously placed the flashlight off as he approached the window from the paddock door. "What the hell?" Felix whispered as he watched two balls of light flicker from within the paddock. He had never seen something like that before.
Realization hit him. Those were flash lights. But who was in the paddock? Felix stepped further towards the window to get a better look at who was in the paddock.
One of the lights beamed over their shirts. InGen. Felix gasped. What were they doing here already? "Get down!" Felix whispered, dragging Kate down by her jacket with a squeal. Kate rubbed her elbow where she had fallen on it.
"Felix, what the hell?" Kate groaned out furious. Felix placed a finger to his lips, hushing her, which in turn made her even angrier. "InGen." He whispered as he pointed out towards the window. Kate poked her head up looking out of the glass to see two flashlights dancing around in the paddock.
"Okay so what do we do?" She whispered anxiously back to Felix while shoving her hands in her pockets. He thought of something very dark. Immoral some would say. But, unfortunately it was the only thing he could think of. He pursed his lips as he looked at her.
"You can't judge me for what I'm about to do." Felix said before raising up. Kate didn't even question what he was about to do. She just silently watched. Felix walked towards a control panel outside of the paddock.
Kate's eyes seemed to bulge out of her head piecing together his plan. "What are you doing?" Kate asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice. "Remember how I said you can't judge me? Well you also can't tell anyone either because," Felix pressed an orange button which made a high pitcher alarm sound to come within the paddock, startling the InGen operatives.
A gate from the ground rose up from its mossy bed, orange lights flickering around it, illuminating the darkness. The men's faces looked terrified. "I could go to jail for manslaughter."
With his words being uttered out Kate could hear the men shouting and asking what was going on. Felix stepped out towards the window to look at what was going on, Kate leaned up to join him.
He shined the flashlight on his face to show the InGen operatives who was the one who caused the beeping in the paddock. "Hi!" He sang out while waving.
"What the fuck!" One of the men screamed, his fist balled up as he look furiously over to Felix who had now childishly stuck out his tongue. A loud thumping startled the two operatives. The men looked behind them to see Rexie snarling over them. "Felix what the hell..." Kate whispered out, her eyes wide with horror.
With one sweep on Rexie's head she latched on to one of the operatives torsos, swinging it around like a rag doll before chomping him in half. The other operative took this time to bolt towards the paddock door but, it was too late.
She lunged downwards, grabbing the man by his upper torso and flinging him into the air. As he fell back down Rexie caught him midair, swallowing him whole.
Kate covered her mouth in horror from what she had witnessed. "Felix..." Kate whispered out. He looked down at her. He wasn't very proud of himself either. "Don't tell anyone." He hissed out. He gazed out towards Rexie as she turned and shook her head in irritation, blood on her muzzle.
He had seen her eat goats before but, it wasn't as sickening as watching her eat actual people. He had gone dark. The images of the man being thrown up and swallowed whole were flashing in his head. So that was the power the tyrannosaur held. Felix shook his head and shuffled his feet.
"That's not going to settle well in her stomach." He stated before glancing down at Kate who had turned pale. He couldn't even imagine what was going through her head right now. He wanted to desperately apologize for what he had made her witness. There was no other way.
"Why don't you go wait on the bike. Turn it on just in case we need to go." He instructed her. It looked like she needed some space. Kate numbly nodded her head towards him. She turned around, a shiver crawling up her spine. Psycho.
Felix ran his fingers through his hair, thinking about what he had done. Murder. There was no time to over think this now. He turned on his heel and pulling out his radio and clicked it to channel four as instructed. Perhaps talking with Owen would calm his nerves.
"Owen." Felix called over the radio. It took a few moments for Owen to respond. "Felix! Where are you?" His voice seethed through the static. Felix swear he heard animals snarling and gun shots. "I'm at the paddock. Just give me the okay and we'll bring her to you." More static. "We need her now! We've got company!" Owen shouted into the radio.
Felix hurriedly placed the radio back on his belt before running over to the paddock. "Do you know how to drive one of those?" He shouted over towards Kate as she shifted herself on the bike.
Kate looked down towards the handlebars of the bike and then back towards Felix. "Yeah, Owen taught me a while ago." She admitted. She thought back to how she failed miserably at trying to ride Owen's motorcycle. He forced her to stop after she fell off quite a few times.
"I'm gonna need you to drive." Felix informed her, grabbing a flare from underneath the control panel. "What!" Kate shouted from the entrance. There was no time to explain or question the butterflies in his stomach.
Felix pressed the large red button on the panel, causing a loud alarms to go off with several red lights beaming in warning. He threw off the cap of the flare, waving it through the air as the gate opened to Rexie.
"Hey! Hey!" He screamed out. Rexie turned her attention towards Felix with a growl. She had somewhat recognized the man in the dark. "Come get me!" He screamed, as she let out a tantalizing roar that sent shivers down his back.
With that he bolted down the lane, and jumped on to the bike that Kate was on. "Go! Now!" He shouted as he turned around and saw Rexie emerging from her habitat and swinging her large head to glare at them.
She let out a deafening roar, charging after them. "Oh shit." Kate cursed as she revved the bike. "Now!" Felix shouted again. Kate spun off towards the main strip of the park, tyrannosaur on her tail. Rexie surged after them trying to take a couple bites. Kate slowed a little as she approached Main Street. Both of their eyes widened.
InGen was everywhere.
