I sat on a crate touching up my bike, dad doing the same.
"What ya doin squirt?" Dad asked.
"Just some touch ups, nothing to big, you?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Same as you" I nodded, jamming to the music I was playing through my headphones.
"What are you listening too?" He asked. I took the headphones out of the jack and played the song out loud. He laughed.
"Our favourite song" I said, smiling. We both stared singing along to (favourite song) and thumping our feet to the beat while working on our bikes. It's moments like these I cherish with my dad, I truely love him. I then noticed a silver SUV park.
"Claire" I smirked, knowing her and dads history. Personally I like her and think they suit each other. Dad noticed the car pull up too and sighed, continuing with his bike. I put my headphones back in, leaving one out so I can here their conversation. I smiled and waved at her, she returned the gesture.
"What do they want now?" Dad asked.
"Mr. Grady" Claire greeted, walking over to dad. I snickered at get professionalism. "We need you to come, take a look at something"
"Why are you callin me Mr Grady?" Dad asked confused. I snorted, still working on my bike.
"Owen" she sighed. "If your not to busy"
"I'm pretty busy" dad said, drinking his coke.
"We have an attraction" Claire stated.
"That's not what you said the last time I saw ya" dad said and I chuckled.
"I'm talking about the dinosaurs Mr. Grady" she sighed at my dads humour.
"Owen" he corrected.
"A new species was made" she said, trying to shoo off a fly. Dad walked up and caught it with his hand.
"Show off" I mumbled, maintaining my peaceful state.
"You jus went and made a new dinosaur?" Dad asked. I don't see the attraction with that, their wow enough.
"Yeah, it's uh kinda what we do here" she said obnoxiously.
"The exhibit opens to the public in three weeks. Mr. Masrani wanted me to consult with you" she informed.
"You wanna consult here?... or... in my bungalow?" He asked. I snorted and spat my coke out of my mouth, laughing.
"That's not funny" Claire said.
"Yeah it is" I said, speaking up for the first time. Dad chuckled and walked up the stairs of the van.

"A little funny" he stated.
"We'd like you to inspect the paddock for vulnerabilities" she asked.
"Why me?" Dad asked.
"I guess Mr. Masrani thinks, since your able to control the Raptors-" dad cut her off.
"See its all about control with you, I don't control the Raptors it's a relationship, it's based on mutual respect" he said passionately. "That's why you and I never had a second date"
"Oohhh that's harsh" I though. "Poor Claire"
"Excussse me I never wanted a second date" she said offended.
"Who prints out an itinerary for a night out?" Dad asked making me snicker.
"I'm an organised person" she defended.
"No what kind of diet doesn't allow tiquila?" He asked.
"All of them actually" Claire said matter-o-factly.
"And what kind of a man shows up to a date in board shorts?" She counted.
"It's Central America, it's hot" he defended making me sigh.
"Okay okay can we just focus on the asset please?" She pleaded, trying to defuse the situation.
"The asset? Look I get it, your in charge out here and have to make a lot of tough decisions it's probably easier for you to pretend these animals are just numbers on a spread sheet, but their not, their alive" dad argued, a little annoyed that she called the dinosaur an asset.
"I'm fully aware their alive" she stated.
"You might have made them in a test tube but they don't know that, they're thinkin I gotta eat, I gotta hunt, I gotta" he said making a humping move.
"You can relate to at lease one of those things right?" He asked amused making me chuckle. Claire approached dad and stood in front of him.
"I'll be in the car. You might want to change your shirt, there very sensitive to smell" she said.
"Haha burrrn" I smirked. Dad just glared at me playfully.
Dad, Claire and I hopped out of the car.
"We've been pre-booking tickets for months. The park needs a new attraction every few years in order to reinvigorate the public's interest. Kind of like the space program. Corporate throught genetic modification would up the wow factor" she informed.
"Their dinosaurs, wow enough" I stated.
"Not according to our focus groups. The Indominous Rex-" She was cut off by dad and I chuckling.

"The Indominous Rex" we repeated.
"We needed something scary and easy to pronounce" she said, trying to us.
"You should hear a four year old try to say Arciornythamimus (don't know how to spell it)" she said, walking into the control room for the enclosure.
"You should here you try to say it" he mumbled. I laughed and nudged his arm, following Claire inside.
"So what's this thing made of?" He asked.
"The base genome is a T-Rex the rest is classified" she informed playing with her hair. I snickered.
"You made a new dinosaur but you don't even know what it is?" I asked, looking out the glass.
"The lab delivers finished assets and we show them to the public" Claire informed.
"Can we drop a steer please?" She asked. The heavy security guard nodded, putting down his sandwich and pressing a button.
"How long has the animal been in here?" Dad asked curiously.
"All it's life" Claire responded.
"Never seen anything outside of these walls?" I asked.
"We can't exactly walk it" She sassed.
"And you feed it with that?" Dad said, pointing to the crane.
"Is there a problem?" She asked annoyed.
"Animals raised in isolation aren't always the most functional" he responded, watching the steer drop.
"Your Raptors are born in captivity" she stated.
"With siblings. They learn social skills and dad and I imprinted on them when they were born. There's trust. The only positive relationships this animal has is with that crane" I said, pointing at the food crane.
"And she knows that means food" dad finished.
"So she needs a friend? We should schedule play dates? That sort of thing" she said sarcastically.
"Probably not a good idea" dad and I said in sinc staring out into the enclosure waiting to see the dinosaur. Claire then tapped on the glass impatiently.
"Where is it?" She asked.
"Is it in the basement? Is there a downstairs?" Dad asked.
"Maybe it's in the rec room?" I said humorously.
"No it was just here, we were just here" Claire said annoyed, walking over to the console. She pulled up cameras of the enclosure but the thermal cameras weren't picking anything up.
"Fuck" I murmured.
"Oh shit" dad said. I walked over to him and gasped. There were claw marks on the wall.
"We're those claw marks always there?" Dad asked. She came over and stared at the markings.
"You think it..?" Claire asked in disbelief. "Oh god"
"She has a implant in her back I can track it from the control room" Claire informed, leaving us. Dad and I turned back to the claw marks and sighed.
"Let us in" I said to the security man. We walked through the door cautiously. I ran my fingers over the marks on the wall.
"That walls forty feet high, you really think she could have climbed out?" The man asked.
"Depends" dad said.
"On what?" The man asked.
"What kind of dinosaur they cooked up in that lab" I said, still staring at the claw marks. I then heard a static voice coming from the comms.
"What?" I asked.
"Yeah what's the problem?" The guard asked into his walkie talkie.
"It's in the cage it's in there with you!" A woman yelled panicked.
"Fuck" I mumbled, starting to panic.
"Go!" Dad yelled. The four of us started running for the door we just went through. The Indominous Rex stopped our path and started chasing us. The sound of bones crunching echoed through the enclosure as it grabbed the other guard and devoured him. The original guard put in a pin and opened the gate, squeezing through, however people in control must have closed it because it started shutting again. I looked at dad determined then pushed myself faster, making it through the gate, though the dinosaur broke through too. Dad grabbed me and we ducked under a car, hiding from the creature. The guard started crying and looked at us. Next minute the car he was hiding in front of flipped and crashed next to us. We watched as the man except his fate and braced for death. I grabbed out my pocket knife and cut the fuel pipe in the car, covering dad and I and masking our scent. The Indominous Rex's nose stopped right in front on my face, making me stop breathing. I only released my breath when it walked off.
"Well fuck" I thought, watching the dinosaur walk off.
