Sanctuary | Part 2

Plot: After finding strange unidentified tracks in the dinosaur sanctuary, everyone is put on high alert. The next day, something else is discovered on surveillance cameras and the sanctuary goes into lockdown.

Pairing: Zach Mitchell (Nick Robinson) x Reader

Warnings: swearing

Masterlist and Requests/Prompts

You were woken up earlier than usual by a distressing phone call that left you rushing to get ready. You pulled on your jeans and a tank top and ran down to the surveillance room.

“What is it, what’s going on?” You asked in a panic as you saw Owen, Dr. Grant, Dr. Sattler, and Claire look at you with confused expressions.

“Look” one of the members of the surveillance team said, gesturing to his screen.

Live footage showed the nesting site you had surveyed yesterday. At least a dozen triceratops lay dead near their nests, which were now filled with crushed eggs.

“How did this happen?” You asked, trying not break down at the sight of a decimated nesting site that had on Ed housed peaceful creatures.

“That’s the worst part…this footage was recorded last night, be warned, it’s…..brutal”

You were showed a minute long clip of something tearing through the nesting site, killing everything in its path.

“What the hell is that?” You asked terrified.

“We’re not able to identify it, it doesn’t match any known species of carnivore from any period” Dr. Grant said.

“How did it get here? Who put it here?”

“We don’t know who, but we know how” the surveillance tech said before showing you another clip from Tower 8.

It was blurry and from a distance, but you could make out a helicopter lowering a sedated dinosaur into the valley on a stretcher. Though it was the dead of night, you could still make out the features of the creature, it was practically identical to the one seen in the footage from later in the night.

“The alarms never went off, why didn’t the alarms sound?”

“Security personnel at tower 8 found cut wires when they arrived this morning. Someone intentionally cut off power to that particular sector to let that thing loose” Owen said crossing his arms. “Fortunately cams at tower 8 didn’t lose power and caught everything from a distance”

“How did they get in? The facility is off limits to visitors, unless they’ve been invited and you’re required to badge in upon entrance”

“It’s possible it could be an inside job” Owen said, only making you feel more uncomfortable about the situation.

“What do we do now?” You asked.

“We’re putting the facility on lockdown, bringing in all living assets. They’ll be safer in emergency containment than they will be in the valley” Claire mentioned. “All staff will also be required to shelter in place, security checks will be done on everyone.”

You nodded. You didn’t know everyone who worked at the sanctuary, just the ones you worked with directly. There were plenty of scientists, researchers, security, and interns that you didn’t know. The idea that anyone working at the facility would endanger the creatures living here was scary. This place was protected by law.

A few moments later you escorted to the lobby, waiting to be called upon by the head of security for your security check. All dorms, lockers, offices, and computers were being searched for evidence. You weren’t allowed to be around while they searched your belongings. After about an hour you were called by security.

“Good morning Dr. {y/l/n}. Your living quarters and office have been searched and you have been cleared. You are free to return to your normal work duties”

“Thank you” you said. You hung up the phone and walked out to the lookout tower.

You looked down at an empty valley. Where there were once dozens of prehistoric roaming about, there was now nothing. Nothing except a rogue creature of unknown origin. The thought terrified you, yet again.

Suddenly you heard an announcement over the intercom of the facility.

“All staff, please report to the atrium for a mandatory meeting. I repeat, all staff, please report to the atrium for a mandatory meeting, thank you.”

You rushed down to atrium where everyone seemed to be standing around. The room was crowded, but silent, eerily silent. You stood beside Zach, who looked at you concerned before the head of security and Claire came out.

“Everyone, we have news. After searching the entire facility, doing background checks on all staff, and checking all offices and living quarters, we have concluded that everyone here has been cleared.” Claire said “However, weren’t not exactly in the clear” she looked over at the head of security.

“We did find the badge of a staff member discarded at gate 12, however, this employee had reported his badge as missing or stolen early this morning before he left to perform his daily duties. Mr. Conrad assumed that he had just dropped his badge somewhere at the facility, as he resides here year round and never left the facility yesterday. Upon retracing his steps the badge could not be located by either himself or security” the head of security stated “However, we did have a group of grad students from the local university visiting yesterday. We keep an extensive log of all visitors to the facility, so all students are being called in for questioning by the CIA”

“Thank you sir” Claire said quietly “Until we know more about the situation, the valley is off limits to all staff, unless given special permissions. You are free to take the remainder of the day off, but please do not leave the facility. Any questions?”

When nobody spoke up she nodded.

“Okay, meeting dismissed, everyone please stay safe”

You looked at Zach and sighed. He rubbed your shoulder gently “you okay?” He asked

“No” you said. You didn’t really need to say anything more, he knew you weren’t doing well.

“Come on, let’s go get some lunch and talk” he said putting his arm around your shoulders and walking with you to his living quarters. When you got like this he knew you didn’t want to be around a lot of people.

He unlocked the door with his key code to the living area he shared with his brother. You’d visited them several times so you made yourself comfortable at the table.

“What do you want to eat?” He asked smiling.

“Anything, I’m not picky” you said looking out the window.

“Pizza?” He asked, knowing it was one of your comfort foods.

You smiled softly “you always know how to cheer me up”

He smiled at you and pre-heated the oven, taking a frozen pizza out of the freezer.

You watched as he prepared lunch, subconsciously wondering if this is what it’d be like to date him. Cute lunch dates away from the crowds of people, him always cooking for you cause you sucked at it, and just him genuinely always making sure you were alright.

You were cut off your train of thought when you heard his voice again.

“What are you thinking about?”

You blushed “nothing, just…stuff”

“Keeping secrets?” He asked chuckling

You couldn’t help but smile “maybe”

Now was not a good time to be discussing your feelings for him. Honestly, there would never be a good time. He was your best friend and your boss’ nephew. He probably didn’t even like you that way, plus you were so wrong for him. You weren’t even his type, or at least you didn’t think you were, you didn’t really know what his type was but you knew it most likely wasn’t someone like you.

The two of you had lunch and were just about to sit down to watch a movie when you got a call.

“Hello?….yeah?…..what?….okay, I’m coming down now” you said

“It’s back” you said “and it’s close…”

Zach nodded “I’m coming with you”

The two of you got up and rushed down to the surveillance room where they had live feed on the large monitor of the creature in question prowling far too close to the live asset emergency containment.

You got a close look at it. It was big. Bigger than a Vilocaraptor, but smaller than the larger carnivores, like the T-Rex or Giganotosaurus. It was somewhere in between. It had huge claws on both its feet and appendages, an elongated neck, and razor sharp teeth.

You assumed with definitely an engineered hybrid, but who made it and why was a mystery, at least for now.

“What do we do? What if it gets in?” You asked

“Security is already out there monitoring the site from a distance, they’re heavily armed, ready to tranq if necessary” Claire mentioned.

“Non lethals?!” You asked “are you crazy Claire?!”

“Listen kid, I know it’s not ideal, but we can’t risk anything” Owen spoke up “if they miss and kill one of our animals, even they’ll be in deep shit”

You sighed. Killing, trafficking, and breeding dinosaurs was illegal. Even in a situation such as this, killing even an illegally engineered hybrid could cost someone their job and a heavy fine. Accident killing an animal that was a resident at the sanctuary could land them in federal prison.

You watched the screen, your hand shaking, as the creature prowled around the gates of the sanctuaries emergency containment.

“It’s hunting….it smells them” you said quietly.

“The other animals? Or the people?” One of the surveillance staff asked.

“Both” you and Zach said at the same time.

You just looked at each other than back to the screen. Your heart was racing. Within seconds you noticed the snipers on the roof lift their weapons and shoot the creature with their tranquilizers. At least 20 shots could be heard, but the creature never went down, despite having been shot with enough tranqs to paralyze 3 Giganotosaurus’, the largest known terrestrial carnivore ever to roam Earth.

You panicked watching as the creature reared its head, letting out the most spine chilling sound you’d ever heard. It tore through the gate, ripping apart the guard tower, before retreating back into the wooded area after being shot several more times by the surviving security personnel.

“We need an emergency rescue by emergency containment, I repeat emergency rescue by emergency containment” one of the surveillance staff reported over the radios and intercom system.

“I have to go” Zach said

“I’m coming with you” you blurted out

“Like hell you are {y/n}, you need to stay here” he said

“I’m coming with you Zach” you said sternly

He sighed and instead of arguing, grabbed your wrist, dragging you down the hall to grab supplies. He fitted you into a vest and handed you something.

“I can’t use a gun!” You said frantically

“It’s not a gun, it’s a taser, the powerful ones we use to deter carnivores” he said “if I felt comfortable handing you a real weapon I would have”

You nodded and followed him out to the armor vehicles. You saw a glimpse of Claire and Owen watching you from the doorway.

“I’ll be okay” you said, trying to reassure them. They were practically like your secondary parents at this point.

You got into the vehicle next to Zach as they prepared to leave. Once in the road to the location, Zach looked at you.

“You stay by me at all times, got it?” He said

You nodded.

“Don’t make me regret this…” he said as you arrived.

It was quiet. Too quiet. Your heart raced as you exited the vehicle. No turning back now.

To be continued…
