Chapter 3
Shangar had found just what he needed, one of Caesar's hairs. By using a DNA tracking system Shangar stole from one of the humans he could track down anyone or anything with just one hair in Caesar's case.
"I will not fail you, Pax," Shangar shouted to himself.
Hours later underground. "Caesar, I think we should turn back. It could take us years to get to Monkey City. Despite how much I trust Virgil I think he's lead us in the wrong direction. Can we at least stop for a moment," Lisa moaned.
"I think there's a sink hole down here. My studies show that in ancient times animals would live in these holes. Lets spend the night in here but tomorrow morning we start back up. Virgil said that Monkey City is close to what used to be New York City and from what the map says if we start traveling first thing tomorrow morning we should be there by midnight of the third day," Caesar said fiddling around with the map.
"Thank God. My feet are killing me," Lisa said crawling down into the hole. Bret had long passed Caesar and Lisa but he had stayed at a hole a few miles away.
"Sir, look what I found. From what my DNA Tracking gizmo says Caesar is heading for Monkey City. That's almost all the way across the east coast," Shangar said panicking so obviously he did have some sympathy for Caesar and his pregnant wife.
"Get them. What route do you think they took?," Pax asked patience running out minute by minute. "Knowing Caesar, for Lisa's sake he probably took the shortest route possible. Even that route takes days even weeks to travel on foot"
"Maybe they didn't walk there. Maybe they traveled in some way that he knew we'd never figure out,"
"Sir, there is no other way,". Or at least a way that I'm not going to tell you, Shangar thought.
"Well guess who's going to have to walk that way then. Shangar...,"
"Sir, if you think I'm going to walk all that way than you got the wrong ape. I like Caesar and Lisa. In fact I'm not going to let you do ANYTHING to hurt them.,"
"If your against me than I'm going to have to go myself but your going with me even if I have to pull you on chains. I thought you were a follower of my father now your just like all those other apes, pacifists. Dang pacifists,"
"Lisa, Bret let's go. I want to get there at the time I said I would.," Caesar told the still sleepy Lisa and Bret.
"Ape, its 3 am. Could you have at least let us sleep til 6 am. Look at Lisa here she is miserable." Bret said. All Lisa did was groan.
"The sooner we get up, the sooner we can get there and the sooner we get there the more time we'll have to sleep," Caesar said.
So on they went unaware of the dangers that faced them up above.
