Lily and Jennifer were grabbing their radios for the day when they found Zara with two boys in the park walking around Main Street. Lily walked over to the two as Zara had her infamous glasses on with Lily's book in hand.
"Are you actually reading it?" Lily asked Zara.
"There's nothing else to do." Zara said. "That one hardly speaks, and I can't get the other to stop talking." she whispered to Lily. Jennifer shook her head.
"It's probably because they want to be with their aunt, not you."
"Well blame, Claire then."
Lily stood in front of the boys. "Welcome to the park, gentlemen. Having a good time so far?"
"We literally just started." the older one said looking away from her.
"I'm having a great time!" said the younger one.
Lily smiled. "That's what we like to hear. I'm Lily."
"I know who you are!" the young boy said. "You're Dr. Lily Goodwin. I'm Gray Mitchell and this is my brother Zach."
"Nice to meet you. Zara is going to take good care of you today." she said. Zara snorted before Jennifer whacked her arm. "But if you head out to the Gryospheres later on, I'll meet you out there and we can have some fun. Sound good?"
"Yes!" Gray said excitedly.
"Sure." Zach shrugged.
"Alright," Jennifer said as Lily returned to her side. "I have a show to put on. Happy smiles, all around." she said putting on a fake smile and walking off.
"See you later!" Lily called after her. "Have fun Zara." she added quietly to the woman before leaving herself.
Owen was observing the girls with Barry when they heard someone approaching. Owen glanced over to see Vic Hoskins.
"Great." he muttered under his breath to Barry who eyed the InGen man.
"Vic, what can we help you with?"
Vic's eyes fell to the velociraptors.
Vic continued on with a spiel about using Blue and her pack in the military as front line war machines.
"You're joking right?" Owen said irritated by the stupid concept.
"No, not at all. We've heard great things about your work with them and you've made some incredible strides."
"That doesn't me-"
A pig squealed highly distracting the men.
A young worker ran out onto the walkway with a catch pole in attempts to rescue the pig from the raptors. The pig was running full tilt into the loop which ultimately yanked the man over the railing. He fell directly onto his back. The girls were no longer paying attention to the pig now.
Owen moved quickly pushing pass Vic and running down the stairs towards the gate.
"Owen, don't-" Barry ran after him but Owen was already inside the enclosure.

He reached the man's aid who was attempting to sit up as his back ached something fierce.Workers lined up on the walkway armed and ready to shoot the girls.
"Hey, no! Hold your fire!" he called up to them standing between the man and the raptors. "Hold your fire, do not fire."
The workers held their aim.
"If you put twelve amps into these animals, they're never going to trust me again."
Barry entered through the gate and moved carefully towards the injured man before assisting him out. Blue and the others watched taking a step closer.
"Blue!" Owen said grabbing the leader's attention. "Stand down."
Blue was certainly not in the listening mood that day as she stepped forward with a screech and snapped at him.
Owen's face hardened. "Hey!" he growled. "Hey, hey, what did I just say?"
His arms were out as he tried to create space as the raptors edged in closer.
"Delta,..." he called out the one in the back, " I see you, back up."
They weren't moving now, their tails were lashing side to side.
"Okay, good."He looked over to Barry quickly.
"Close the gate."
"What? No-"
"Just do it!" he said gruffly keeping his eyes focused on the four.He heard the gate begin to close as he slowly backed away. With every step he took, so did the girls. He took one last step back before he bolted to the gate sliding under it.
Lily headed to the hatchery in hopes of seeing Winston before she had to go feed Hopper and Toothless. She walked in to find the hatchery quiet.
"Winston?" she called. Some of the babies were awake and crying out in hunger.
"Dr. Goodwin."
She spun around to see Dr. Wu.
"Dr. Wu," she began, "where's Winston?" she asked.
"I'm afraid, Winston doesn't work here anymore."
"What? Why not?" she asked.
"He figured it was his time to retire finally. With his leg acting up, he just wasn't able to get around like he wanted to."
Lily watched Dr. Wu with a cautious look, she didn't believe him for a second.
"So he just got up and left?"
Dr. Wu shrugged. "His decision."
"That doesn't sound like Winston." she said.
"Maybe he wasn't who you thought he was." Dr. Wu told her.
The two stared at each other before Dr. Wu cleared his throat and looked away. "We have workers coming in to take care of the hatchlings, so you can go." he said.
"I'm going to find out what really happened." she blurted out. Dr. Wu turned around, a smile no longer planted on his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Lily left the building with a frustrated huff and was walking through main street when she saw Winston and his familiar awkward gate heading towards the port to leave the island.

"Winston!" she called. She pushed through the crowds of people. "Winston!"
The old man turned his head and caught sight of her. She finally reached him.
"Winston, what happened, where are you going?"
"I'm going back to the States, kiddo."
"But why?" she asked sadly.
"This place isn't what it used to be, in my opinion. That's a sign for me to retire."
"But you love working in the hatchery."
"I did." he said.
"Winston, please, tell me what happened? What did Dr. Wu say to you?!"
Winston eyed her. "How do you know about that stuff?"
"I overheard you guys talking at one point. I...I'm sorry but Dr. Wu has been acting very strange. Since I spoke with him and Mr. Masrani in the lab about the dinosaurs, they've been trying to keep me away from-"
"What did you tell Mr. Masrani and Dr. Wu?" he asked grabbing her shoulders catching her off guard.
"Wh-what?"
"What did you tell them? What information did they want from you?" he shook her slightly.
"Winston-"
"What did you tell them, Lily?!" he yelled.
She pulled away from him. "We just were discussing T-Rex and Velociraptors as hunters." she told him quickly.
Winston shook his head. "Lily, you need to get off of this island, right now."
"What?Winston you're not making any sense..."
"Get off of this island!" he went to grab for her but she dodged him last minute. He lost his balance and fell over. She wanted to help him but he continued yelling at her until she ran off.
"Sounds like a complete loon." Harold's voice said through the phone.
"I don't know Dad, he's never acted like that before...he looked so scared."
"Sometimes work finally gets to a person." he reassured her. "Sounds like he just had a break finally."
"I suppose." she sighed. "But it doesn't change the fact that Dr. Wu is being weird."
"He sounds like a complete wank." Harold said. "Dear, for now the best I can offer you is to worry about yourself."
"I wish it were that easy." Lily told her father over the phone as she sat in the paddock with Hopper who bothering the hell out of Toothless. "Quit it!" she called to him.
"I didn't do anything." Harold said.
"Not you Dad!" she laughed
"I'm teasing love. Well,besides the mishap this morning, everything sounds like it's going great for you." he said. "Working with dinosaurs, found yourself a nice bloke...you tell him he better treat you right or he won't know what's coming to him."
Lily giggled. "Alright Dad." she said with a slight eye roll.
"I mean it, I'll show him how we got the term fightin' Irish."
"Yeah, yeah. So what about you Dad?"
"What about me?"
"Daaad..."
"Well, there isn't much going on in my life, deary. Been working at the factory trying to find a flat here of my own...this man can snore, I can't catch a bloody wink."
She laughed. "Ear plugs?"
"If I had ear plugs, I'd never get out of bed." he said.
"Fair enough." She heard the gate open and saw Todd coming in with some equipment.
She waved at him as Hopper went over to investigate.
"Hey, Dad, I'll call you back later, alright?"
"Of course, I know you're busy."
"I promise I'll make more time when we talk."
"Alright lass. You take care of yourself."
'I will."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
She turned to Todd. "What's in the box?" she asked curiously.
"You made a new dinosaur?" Owen said looking at Claire bewildered as he walked away from working on his bike. He was waiting for Lily to return from the paddock so they could grab something to eat.
"It's kind of what we do here." Claire said holding her jacket over her shoulders. "Our new exhibit is opening in a couple of weeks and we need you to look in the enclosure and see if there's any vulnerabilities. Things like that. Mr. Masrani has requested you himself. " she said in somewhat disbelief at her own words.
He hopped up the stairs of the Bungalow. "Why me?" he called back.
"I guess, since Mr. Masrani thinks you can control the raptors-"
"I don't control them."
"Well, I was going through a couple of the storage closests here." Todd told her. "You know how many storage places we have around here?"
"No, how many?"
"A lot." he answered. She grinned.
"Anyways, I'm rummaging through some stuff and I kept finding some things, that I think would be pretty beneficial to mostly Hopper but I found some things for Toothless too."
"Oooh let me see!" she said looking into the box.
"Easy!" Todd laughed. "I'm getting to it."
"You see half of this stuff can be used for Hopper as perches and just so she can get up high and not ride around on Toothless all day."
"Good luck telling her that." Lily said pointing over to the two. Hopper was dozing off in the sun while Toothless was walking around slowly.
Lowery was in the control room as Jennifer came in. She had mustered up enough courage to go ask Lowery for lunch, but unfortunately for her that wouldn't be happening any time soon.
"I need location on the Indominus Rex." Claire's voice said.
Lowery looked to the map in confusion before responding. "She's in there."
"What? No, it's not possible, we were just in there. There was no dinosaur. It looked like she clawed up the wall getting out."
Jennifer stood wide eyed. "Claire, I'm telling you, her tracker says she's in there."
"What in the hell is an Indominus Rex?" Jennifer asked.
