As they were riding towards the dam, Blue eyes was having trouble concentrating. He was juggling on holding onto the reigns while his little brother kept squirming in his arms trying to break free and climb over his shoulder to get to the human behind them. Lily replied "I can hold him for you if you want." Blue eyes looked over his shoulder at Lily then turned back then huffed and said nothing. Lily softly muttered under her breath and replied "Well, fine, then. Just thought I'd offer some help."

As they arrived, Lily noticed that Ellie and Alex were tending to Carver, while Malcolm was coughing covered in rubble and dust ,worried, she hopped down off of Blue eyes horse and ran over to them "What happened?!" Alex looked and saw that it was her and answered "Dad and Carver set up some explosions and the dam collapsed on top of them. Luckily, they weren't seriously injured. The apes helped get them out." then he pointed behind him at Rocket. Lily looked at the ape who was talking with Caesar (He still helped even though his son was injured by one of our own.)

Then a loud groan broke her out of her thoughts. She looked down at Carver while Ellie was cleaning up the wound on his ankle. She bent down to inspect it and he noticed "What are you doing?" Lily signed "It actually doesn't look that bad, you big baby. You can walk it off." Ellie shot her a look "Lily, don't start. Not now." Lily shrugged and signed "What? Just stating the obvious."

Malcolm approached Caesar and Blue eyes then looked at the ape leader and replied gratefully "Thank you. You saved our lives. We've got a lot of debris to clear now. We might need a little more time."

Caesar asked "How long?"

While they were talking, Cornelius managed to escape out of his brother's arms while he was distracted and hopped onto the neck of his horse and slid down. Blue eyes reached out and tried to grab him but it was already too late. The little ape quickly ran over to the group and started to climb up on Ellie's back. She looked back to see what it was when she felt something crawling up. She let out a surprised "Oh." The baby chimp looked at her then Alex and chirped curiously.

Then he climbed and crawled over her shoulder over to Alex on to his lap and he replied "Hey buddy." The chimp looked around studying each of the humans. Then Lily noticed that Blue eyes standing behind them, looking very tense and peeking up over their shoulders to see his brother. Then Cornelius climbed down the Alex's leg and started playing with his shoes. But, the sweet moment was ruined when Carver nudged Alex and replied "What are you doing? Are you finished?"

Ellie and Alex both looked at him and he shrugged "What are you looking at?" Bored, the baby chimp eventually started to wonder until Carver's tool kit caught his eyes. Curious, he climbed in and pulled down a rag. Carver turned around and quickly stood up when he saw the baby in the box and yelled "Hey!" Blue eyes screeched as he saw Carver running towards his baby brother and ran after him. The man grabbed the cloth and pulled it from under Cornelius and swatted it at him "Get out of there!"

Blue eyes quickly rammed into him knocking the human to the ground. He quickly turned around and started screeching at Kemp and Foster while they tried to help Carver. Cornelius quickly ran heading towards Lily, with his arms out, terrified. She bent down and quickly picked him up. Lily's eyes widen in shock as Carver quickly pulled the what he was hiding in the tool box,...a shot gun. He quickly aimed it Blue eyes and yelled "I'll kill you!" Blue eyes, glared, and hissed baring his fangs at him.

Then the next thing, Carver was on the ground when Caesar grabbed the gun from and knocked him off of his feet. The ape growled and brought it up getting ready to bring it down on him.

Malcolm quickly yelled "Don't! No! Caesar! No!"

He stopped and stepped off of the human then looked at the shot gun in his hands. Then he glared and aimed it the group "Said no guns!" Ellie and Alex quickly took a step back and she raised her hand in defense "No, please."

Malcolm shook his head and softly replied "I didn't know."

Caesar raised the shot gun up and walked over towards the lake and threw it into it. Without a word, Lily quickly handed Cornelius over to Caesar as he approached with Blue eyes following behind, and he snatched him from her. He growled then looked at Malcolm and roared "Human...leave. NOW!" Then left with the other apes leaving the group behind.

Lily felt a surge of anger run through her and she frowned looking at Carver then stormed over to him and pushed him and yelled "What is wrong with you?!" The man looked at her surprised and scoffed and answered "Excuse me?!" Malcolm replied, trying to step in "Lily stop." She quickly turned around and signed furiously "NO! I've had it! I WARNED you that he was a liability! I'm leaving! I'm not staying with him around."

Carver replied "It's about time you left! Its not like anyone would take you?" Ellie snapped "Carver..." Lily signed and replied "I've been on my own before. I can do so, again." then turned around getting ready to leave but a hand stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. Malcolm replied "Hold it. You're not going anywhere. Let's just all calm down and talk this out rationally." Carver mumbled under his breath "Half mute, can barely speak. Its almost like your one of those infected."

...

Carvers eyes widen in horror and he quickly looked at Lily "Good god. You're infected!" and took a step back. Malcolm held out his hand trying to calm him and replied "Carver, calm down." Carver looked at him with disbelief and replied "Calm down?! I've been living with that diseased ridden thing! She probably spreaded it throughout the settlement!" Ellie shook her head and quickly interjected "That's impossible. We're all immune." Carver snapped at her "You don't know that for sure!" Alex looked at Lily "Is this true? Are you really infected?" Lily glared at Carver before answering Alex and signed "I did have the Simian flu. But I don't anymore."

Carver replied "She's lying! No one can recover from it. They only get worse!" Lily replied and signed "I'm not lying." Carver frowned and looked at the group, ignoring Lily, and replied "I'm not taking any chances, Malcolm. She has to go." Malcolm shook his head and replied "She's not going anywhere. But, what YOU are going to do, is keep your mouth shut. We don't need any more paranoia than they're already is."

As the apes returned back to the colony. They were met by Tinker who rushed out, hooting frantically, getting their attention. She looked at Caesar and quickly signed:

"Caesar! It's Cornelia! She's awake!"
