Left Behind •Kenji Kon• Camp Cretaceous

💞Trinity💞

I push large jungle leaves out of my way before resting against a tree trunk, ignoring the dull ache in my torso thanks to the Scorpios Rex's stupid quills piercing my skin. "Trinny?" I wave Kenji's concern away and push away from the tree. "I'm okay. Don't see any sign of the t-rex."

"Yeah, but no sign of the other kids either," Dad says and Kenji steps forward, looking towards the dock. "Maybe they're back on the boat." I look and try to hide my smile. "I don't think so, Kenj." He arches his brow at me and I grab his shoulders turning him to the right in direct line of sight of the panting campers.

"They're right here. Safe and sound. Just like I told you they would be."

"Thank God, you're okay," Dad calls as we race towards each other, meeting halfway. "We thought you left on the chopper!" Darius exclaims as we all group hug. We pull back as Sammy laughs and I notice that we're missing a certain pink haired girl, Kenji notices too.

"Hold up. Where's Brooklynn?" Their smiles fall and they stare down at the ground. "Yeah, that's a long story," Yaz says and Ben nods in agreement. "And you won't believe who's back."

Darius and the others begin the tale of what went down when we got separated. As soon as the name Wu fell from his lips I tried not to cuss like a sailor as I'm reminded of the doctor who single handedly caused the downfall of this entire park. They told us about how they got Wu's laptop so it'll take him longer to recreate hybrids without all his extensive research, that's a plus.

But while trying to escape from Hawkes Brooklynn got grabbed and they had no idea how to get her free, resulting in Brooklynn telling the others to leave her behind and get the laptop as far away from Wu as possible. At the news Kenji's eyes widen and he stared at the other campers in disbelief.

"You left her with them?!"

"It's what Brooklynn wanted," Darius defends with a sad expression and my dad gestures for the laptop in his hands which he hands over. "We just need a plan to get her back."

"Give them the stupid laptop. Plan done!" He attempts to swipe it from Dad's hands, but the ex SEAL is much quicker and holds it out of reach. "It's not that easy," Darius says and Dad makes a noise of agreement. "Kenji, if Wu gets this laptop then he'll immediately be able to bust out a new hybrid in just a few months and if we're stuck on this island then none of us will be able to stop him."

"Owen's right. Everything that happened on the island, everything that went wrong, was because of Wu's research," Darius adds and I nod, taking Kenji's hand so he'll calm down. He looks down at me and I give him a determined look. "We can't let what happened here happen on the mainland, Kenji. Wu can't get his hands on this laptop."

"Yeah, if he gets it back, who knows how many more Indominus or Scorpios rexes he'll make?" Yaz adds and Kenji's face shows he understands what all of us are saying, but he's also really worried about Brooklynn. "But if we don't give it to them who knows what they'll do to Brooklynn?"

"Kenji's right. We can't let them hurt Brooklynn. And I agree we can't let Wu get his research, but we also can't risk Brooklynn's life like this." The raven haired boy gives me a grateful smile and squeezes my hand in thanks.

"Trinny and Kenji are right. We don't have a choice. We have to give Wu the laptop," Ben announces after a moment of silence. Darius stares down at the ground, thinking hard, before his eyes widen as he gets an idea. "Of course! We'll give it back after we copy and wipe it! We'll get Brooklynn, Dr. Wu gets nothing, and we turn him into the cops once we reach Costa Rica!"

"Okay, but how do we copy it?" Yaz asks and we try to think of something. "A flash drive! I got one back at Camp Cretaceous!" Sammy exclaims and I smile at her genius. "Then let's do this!" Ben shouts and tightens his bandana like it's supposed to be cool.
