PROLOGUE

Gladys's mother was killed by evil men when she was just a few days old. She was eventually saved by really nice men and taken onto their ship. They took care of her and eventually taught her sign language so they could talk to each other. Several months later a huge storm caused the boat to sink. One of the men put a life jacket on her and they all got into life boats. The waves were so huge that they were separated.

She eventually found herself on an island where the other apes continued to raise her. Years later she met up with a very nice young man with a white hat and a red shirt who knew sign language. Coincidentally he happened to be friends with one of the really nice men who had saved her and had taught her sign language.

One day two men in a big metal fly landed on the island. Gilligan and the others were very excited that they were here but she got a really bad vibe from them.

That night she watched from a tree as they all suddenly grew anxious about something. Then one of the men holding a long pointy stick grabbed his forearm. At first Gilligan looked and felt scared and nervous then he began signing something behind his back.

'Gladys I know you're there!' Gilligan signed. 'Grab some of the other apes and meet me at the window later tonight!'

The two men escorted Gilligan away as Gladys jumped off.

Within the next few hours Gladys swung up into the mountain and retrieved Brock and his mate Diamond, Ruby the red haired ape, and Larsen who once cause trouble when he threw exploding avocados all over the place. Then she picked up Sandy the little monkey on the way back. Then Rudy the Mongoose and Sam the parrot

Back at the leaf covered caves Gladys had Sandy hop onto the windowsill and waved to Gilligan to let him know that they were there. A few seconds later Gilligan hopped out of the window.

'Gilligan what is going on?' Gladys signed.

'Here is what is happening!' Gilligan signed. 'That mean man in there wants to hunt and kill me!'

'What! That is horrible!' Gladys replied huffing. 'What can we do to help!'

'Here is where I need your help!' Gilligan signed.

Gilligan looked behind him in the window then began signing as fast as he could as the trees and bushes rustled all around them.

A couple of hours later Gilligan heard Sam whistle. He looked over at Kincaid, who was still sitting by the door asleep with his rifle on his lap, then kneeled up on the cot and looked out the window.

'Everything is set!' Gladys signed.

'Thanks c u in morning!' Gilligan replied back.

Gladys gave the okay sign then hopped back into the trees. Gilligan smiled checked back over at Kincaid, then yawned and laid back down on the cot and fell asleep.
