Darius ushers everyone along and they begin sprinting away, inadvertently splitting up.

Y/N stops for a moment, whirling around, looking for any of his friends. In the corner of his eye he spots Sammy, cornered by one of the raptors and desperately clutching the empty tranq gun. Without thinking, he rushes forward, tackling the dinosaur, which is something he definitely did not know he could do.

"Y/N!?" Sammy gasps.

"Shoot it!" Y/N urges, tossing her the dart as he scrambles away from the now enraged dino.

Sammy quickly loads up the tranq gun and shoots the raptor, sending it scampering off in fear.

Y/N gets to his feet with a heavy, relieved sigh.

Sammy let's out a quick chuckle, "You really Kenji'd that one up, huh?" She pats him on the shoulder.

"I wonder how mad he'd be if he found out we still say that." Y/N grins.

But they don't have much time to reminisce, Yaz comes charging towards them, pushing them both forward.

"Come on!" She shouts.

The three of them start running, dodging around the fighting creatures and meeting back up with the others. They all find themselves cornered in between containers, the raptors approaching them quickly.

"Darius--" Ben turns around, but doesn't find Darius where he had just been, "Darius!?"

"Look!" Kenji shouts, pointing towards a speeding blur.

Darius runs out towards Big Eatie, shock prod in his hand. Behind him... the Allosaurus. Darius doesn't stop running and the dinosaur doesn't stop chasing him. Not until he chucks the prod at Big Eatie and dives for cover, the Allosaurus distracting both Big Eatie, and the raptors.

The group shuffles away, quietly this time, not wanting to draw any attention to themselves. They huddle up behind some equipment and watch Big Eatie and the Allosaurus thrash around.

Eventually, Big Eatie asserts her dominance, throwing the Allosaurus to the ground, leaving the other dino with no choice but to back off, cowering away.

"We don't have time to load em all!" Jensen huffs, shouting at the other workers as they load the ship, "But we gotta get something to the Broker or head will roll."

"The Broker?" Darius whispers.

"Pick up, pick up!" Jensen paces around, his phone to his ear.

He only pauses when he senses a presence behind him. Sammy moves to warn him, but Y/N holds her back as the Allosaurus consumes Jensen entirely.

"We should move..." Darius whispers, motioning for the rest of them to follow along.

They only take one step out of their hiding spot before Darius jumps back with a yelp, encouraging them all to stay behind. Up on the roof of the garage stands the raptor woman. She doesn't hesitate to blow her whistle, summoning her raptor lackies.

One comes up beside her, breathing heavily and clearly weakened. The other two practically drag themselves over, their injuries from the previous events clear.

The woman thinks, her gaze cold as she stares at the group, all huddled up. Suddenly, she lets out a long, low whistle. The raptors back off.

Sirens approach and she pets the dino beside her, shooting everyone one last terrifying glare before disappearing.

"Well, that was... unnerving." Mateo gulps.

"But hey, looks like backup arrived just in time."

Everyone takes a moment to breath, Y/N wraps Ben in a tight hug as the large boat beside them blows its horn.
