"I--" Darius pauses, "I don't know. There's gotta be someone we can trust." He tugs on the door handle and sighs, "Locked."

"There's another one!" Sammy points over to a second door and Yaz runs ahead to check.

"Also locked!" She calls out.

Kenji runs to a third door, tugging at the handle, "Ugh! None of these door's work!?"

"That's a heck of a coincidence..." Ben mumbles.

"Unless it's not..." Darius rushes towards the large garage door, his steps faltering as it slowly begins to rise up.

The group scrambles to get out of sight, hiding behind the shipping containers and peering out to see who's behind the door. The figure comes into light and reveals themself as no other than 'Creepy Micro-bangs'.

She steps inside, her icy eyes peering around the room with distaste. All the dinosaurs inside fall silent.

"What are you doing here?" Cabrera limps over. "I told you to stay away."

"I'm not cleaning up any more of your messes."

The woman turns towards him, her eerie expression unchanging.

"I-- In fact..." Cabrera stumbles, clearly uneasy, "This isn't working out. You're fired."

She tilts her head at him calmly, as if she doesn't understand.

Just then, another worker comes along, carrying a large case along with him.

"Oh, Jensen," Dudley turns towards the man, "Perfect timing. Escort our friend here out."

Jensen silently strides past his boss, moving to stand next to the woman.

"Hello?" Dudley looks them both over, "D-Did you hear me? I said--"

Jensen scoffs, "You really think you're the one whose been calling the shots this whole time?"

The woman slowly raises the whistle from her neck and blows into it lowly, summoning three Atrociraptors to her side.

"What-- what are those?" Dudley takes a step back.

"Gets the job done much better than leaving it to chance with an Allosaurus." Jensen grins.

"You killed that girl on purpose..." Dudley gasps quietly, "With... those."

The woman whispers something to Jensen and he nods an affirmative before turning and leaving, hitting the button to close the garage door behind him.

"Wh-- what did she say?" Cabrera calls after him.

"She said out boss doesn't like loose ends." Jensen glances back at Dudley as the door shuts.

The area goes dark, and the whistle is blown again, sending the three raptors chasing after Cabrera as he tries to escape.

The group shrinks down, hiding away to avoid being detected by the woman or her evil little pets. They all hold their breath, terrified by the obedient creatures.

Just as she makes her way towards the door, one of the Atrociraptors stops in its tracks, looking right at the group. They duck down lower, hoping the dinosaur will just pass over them and the terrifying woman won't notice.

But... why would that ever be the case? After moments of suspense, she blows her whistle, sending the dinosaurs charging towards them.

"Run!" Darius shouts and everyone disperses.

They start climbing up a ladder to the higher platform of the garage, knocking things over to slow the Atrociraptors down. The woman continues blowing her whistle as they sprint across the metal platform.
