Chapter 29 - Humans

Tree house.

The next day Caesar was with his wife and baby boy Cornelius, while his eldest son Blue Eyes went to hunt with Rocket's son Ash.

'Boom' a gunshot rang through the whole forest, instantly every ape was awake.

Caesar got up, took his two weapons and commanded the combat group to go with him.

Everyone arrived in less than 20 seconds and they saw it was humans, Rocket hurriedly ran to his son and saw he was shot, and he exclaimed in sign language, "they shot my son" and every ape started screaming.

Caesar signaled everyone to be silent and looked at the one who shot Ash and his group.

Malcolm the group leader screamed: "We don't mean any harm".

Carver the one who shot whispered to Malcolm: "Do you think they understand?" while looking at the apes.

Malcolm whispered back: "Do they look apes to you" while relaxing his gun he said, "guys put your guns down".

The group replied: "Are you crazy" but looking at the situation they did so.

Caesar jumped down the road and slowly walked to Malcolm and removed the gun from him. Before they could react, he threw the guns of the others too.

Malcolm's group was scared, and they took steps back without realizing it.

Caesar suddenly spoke human language which scared them more: "Rocket come here, and Buck leave with Ash to treat him".

Rocket asked in sign language: "Caesar, what?"

Caesar: "Take the gun and shoot exactly the same place as he shot your son" said while handing the gun.

Rocket took the gun and slowly walked toward Carver, just as Malcolm and his group wanted to obstruct him, all apes started screaming and pointing their weapons to them and so they couldn't do anything.

Rocket pointed the same place as his sons wound and 'Boom'.

Dead silence in the forest.
