Shots Fired
"Michelle, don't." Keira said taking a step but her father held onto her arm. "Killing people isn't going to bring your parents back."
"It'll make me feel better about it." she aimed it at Claire.
"No, it won't."
Michelle growled before turning it on Keira. "You know, this is just as much your fault Keira."
Keira's eyes widened. "What? How?!"
"You still have faith in this park!"
"It's not a -"
"It's not a park." Michelle mimicked her voiced. "Shut up. You kept this place running after all that has happened here. As if it didn't matter. You keep these animals alive that kill people, you and Owen with your velociraptors, acting like they're a pack of dogs! They are dangerous beasts. I would think someone like you would learn from your parents that this place isn't a good idea. Nice job, Dr. Grant." she said casting a look his way.
Alan glared at the young woman.
"And I tried to save you guys, I really did. I was just going to rid the world of the dinosaurs. I told you Keira, have the wedding somewhere else, go on a honeymoon somewhere, but you're so damn stubborn!"
"Michelle," Lowery said in a sad voice, "I thought..."
"You thought what?" Michelle said hotly. "That I was in love with you. Please, it was easy to prey on you Lowery, you were so desperate for someone to love you because you couldn't have your best friend. It was the perfect opportunity. Sorry." she said with a shoulder shrug.
Keira placed her hand on Lowery's shoulder.
"I think I did rather good, didn't I?"
"But you told me you loved me?"
Michelle sighed rubbing her temple. "It's called acting Lowery. Christ, I thought you were smart."
Owen rushed into the main building to only be greeted with silence. He walked down the halls and suddenly saw two workers on the ground.
"The fu-" he jogged down the hallway to the control room. He could hear Michelle's voice.
"...it was easy to prey on you Lowery, you were so desperate..." Owen's breath got caught in his throat.
"Michelle?" he mouthed to himself. He had not seen that coming. He looked in and saw Doug on the floor bleeding with Claire applying pressure to the wound. Michelle had a gun in hand pointing it directly at Keira who stood behind Lowery, with Zach and Alan behind her.
He waved his hand quickly catching Keira's sight as Michelle rubbed her face in irritation. Her eyes were full of fear, he motioned her to stay quiet. She gave a slight nod before turning back to Michelle. He rested his back against the wall trying to figure out a plan.
"You're crazy, you know that?" Claire said. "We all trusted you."
"That didn't work out so well did it. Maybe next time you'll think about how karma will come and bite you right back." she said. "It's not just my parents I'm doing this for. I'll be a hero to all the other families that lost someone and all they were given was a fucking card!"
"What do you want Michelle? Money?" Claire said. "Because we can give you money."
Michelle greeted her teeth before walking over and putting the gun to Claire's forehead. "I don't want your damn money, I want my parents back!"
"Michelle, take a step back and look at what you're doing..." Alan tried to reason with her.
"I know exactly what I'm doing. No one is going to leave this island but me." she said. "The only thing that will be living, will be the plants when I'm done."
Keira took a step forward but Michelle stopped her. "Don't even think about it."
Suddenly, Michelle was tackled to the ground, a stray bullet was shot off and everyone fell to the floor. Owen wrestled her onto the floor causing the gun to fly out of her hand. The group saw Owen knock her back but Michelle was quick and used her small size to her advantage dodging him and kicking him back going for the gun, before anyone could react she had it.
"That was stupid on your part." she growled before aiming it at them.
"No" Keira said. Owen backed up until Keira grabbed him holding him into her.
"That gun doesn't have much shots left." Alan said. "You can't kill everyone in here and once you're out of bullets, you'll be outnumbered still."
"Outnumbered sure, but I just have to outrun you until I get the other gun down the hall. So that means I just have to kill the ones who can catch me." she decided. "Speaking of which, Dr. Grant, you run quite fast for your age."
"No!" Keira said. "Don't, please!"
"Maybe it's time you learned how dangerous this place really is Keira. You can finally feel my pain instead of prancing around here like everything is so fucking magical." she turned back to Alan. 'Bye."
She pulled the trigger, Alan closed his eyes awaiting the bullet but it never came.
"NOO!" He heard Keira scream. Alan opened his eyes and saw Owen on the ground before him, shot in the chest.
"You miserable-!" Keira tackled into Michelle hard knocking the small woman back down to the ground. But this time Lowery and Zach joined in. Zach grabbed the gun quickly and Lowery pinned her down.
Keira moved away from them quickly over to Owen. His eyes were still open but he looked so disoriented. "Oh god..please no...don't...please don't leave me Owen."
"Hey," he said," don't you worry, I'm always going to be with you." he said before gritting his teeth in pain.
They heard shouts down the hallways and Ellie and Barry appeared.
"Owen!" Barry said running in. "What the hell happened here?!"
Ellie cried out at the scene of Owen and Doug down. Alan was holding onto Owen as Keira was by his side sobbing. She ran over to her daughter's side who held onto her tightly as Keira cried into her. She looked up at Alan who was trying to help the man in his arms as Owen's eyes began to close slowly.
