Summary: The park was left alone for a year, then Masrani's son, Joseph Masrani, took over his father's position. Claire and Owen were together for that year, but when Claire was offered her job back, things got messy. Now, Owen has been brought back to the park. That's where our story begins.

Three years after the events of Jurassic World….

"Absolutely not," Owen Grady spoke calmly, but resolutely through the phone.

"Mr. Grady , if we thought there was anyone else for the job, we would've gotten them," Masrani begged .

"I understand that, and if I thought there was any reason for me to accept, I would," Owen's voice began to tense a bit.

"Oh, you don't believe there is even one reason why you should take care of these animals, or better yet take care that these animals don't hurt anyone else? Okay, maybe you aren't the man for the job, maybe you aren't the man my father," Masrani's voice shook, "may he rest in peace as the hero he was for trying to kill the Indominus,"

"Look.." Owen began to say, but was cut off.

"Maybe you aren't the man my father said you were, or the man that saved 20,000 people three years ago, but I bet you are, I bet we both know why you won't come back, and bet it begins with a C and ends with a Dearing," Masrani was shouting by the time he got to the end of his rant.

There was silence then, one end was huffing from yelling, the other end just silent.

"How did you know that?" Owen whispered.

"Just because I inherited this company, does not mean I don't take every interest in my employees."

There was another pause. "You're not completely correct, but you got a big gist of it. I am the man your father described, or at least I should be. What is it you would have me do?" Owen thought he could almost hear Joseph Masrani, son of the Late Simon Masrani, smile on the other end.

"I have sent you a ticket to your email, first class, for tomorrow at 4 am from the Dallas Fort Worth Airport to the Costa Rica airport, and then speed boat to Isla Nublar. I know it's early, but it will give you a chance to settle in before the briefing at 4 pm in the Command Center," he paused, "I expect you know your way around, but I should warn you that your bungalow on the lake, uh, well… it's been destroyed. We tried to go in and see if it could be fixed, but it looks like some dinos had ravaged it. I'm sorry to tell you, but we've made other accommodations," Masrani quickly blurted out the bad news.

"Hmm, ok, but you should know I will make my own arrangements if I stay long," Owen continued, "I have two questions though, that I'll have answered now," Owen spoke sternly, "First, does Claire know I'm coming? And second, as I assume she will be at the briefing, could we arrange it so her and I are in as minimal contact as possible otherwise?"

He waited a second, Masrani began to speak, but he cut him off.

"Because I assume, considering that you take interest in your employees, then you know why it is I do not feel comfortable working "for" or "with" her," he said it slowly and calmly, but Owen's voice still betrayed a deep silent pain.

Masrani sighed, "Yes, I've heard bits and pieces about you two's relationship. I have not told her about your coming, and I don't plan on it. From what I understand, I believe it would be best for her to see you and know your position on the team, and then deal with that knowledge instead of me tell her you're coming and her try to talk me out of it," he paused, "As for the keeping you out of each other's way, I can't guarantee you won't see her, but you both should be fairly separated."

"Alright, I guess I will make do. I will see you tomorrow," Owen droned out.

Masrani replied, "Thank you, I understand this to be hard for you, but you are doing the right thing I assure you, " Masrani quieted to add gravity to his point, "Till tomorrow,Mr. Grady."

"It's Owen, and yes till tomorrow," Owen sighed and hung up.

Author's Note: This is my first story, I have a big idea, but I honestly am having hard time figuring out this site. Bare with me, the story is complete in my head. I would really appreciate feedback and support to keep this up!
