Chapter Text
Owen eventually woke up from the tranq dart.
"Owen! What the hell happened?" Claire asked.
"They sold Foxtrot and he's gone!" Owen answered.
"Those bastards!" Barry said. Maisie had snuck down to the area after discovering that her grandfather was dead, she heard what they were saying and went over to the cage.
"What's going on here?" Maisie asked. The others were surprised to see Maisie.
"Just being kept prisoner by some rich snob." Zia answered.
"I recognize you. You raised the Raptors like Blue and Foxtrot." Maisie said looking at Owen.
"What's your name?" Claire asked.
"Maisie." She answered.
"Look we need to let your grandfather know about this. Can you tell him?" Claire asked.
"No. He's... He's gone." Maisie answered, beginning to tear up.
"Oh. Hey kid, it's alright. Tell you what, if you help get us out of here, I'll tell you everything you want to know about the Raptors. Deal?" Owen asked.
"Okay." Maisie replied. She began searching for a way to get them out. Maisie eventually managed to find the key and opened the cage.
"Nice work. Now let's go." Barry said.
(At the cage with the Raptors)
The Raptors were worried about how Foxtrot and Owen hadn't returned yet.
*Where are they?* Charlie asked.
*I'm sure they're both fine, right Blue?* Delta said. Blue hesitated to answer.
*Blue?* Delta asked.
*I... I don't know. Maybe Foxtrot was right that things won't get better.* Blue answered. Owen and the others arrived at the cage.
*Alpha where's Foxtrot?* Charlie asked. Owen didn't understand what Charlie said, but had a feeling of what the Raptors were wondering.
"Hey girls. I'm sorry, but Foxtrot's gone." Owen said.
*WHAT?!* Charlie, Delta, and Echo all said at the same time. Blue didn't say anything, she couldn't believe that her best friend was gone. Blue just began panting heavily as if she was in a state of shock, the others noticed this.
*Blue?* Charlie asked, she moved closer and nudged Blue with her snout. Blue's only response was letting out several loud calls that were filled with so much anguish it was hard for any of the others to listen to. Owen reached into the cage and began to rub Blue's snout causing her to calm down slightly.
"Shh... It's gonna be okay Blue." Owen comforted. After a few minutes, Blue managed to calm down.
*O-Okay Alpha.* Blue said.
"Alright, now we're getting out of here so you guys can't attack any of us here." Owen said. He then pulled out the bar keeping the cage closed and the Raptors came out.
"Let's go." Owen said. The group began to look for a way out of the building.
