Cobra
Venus Maxwell breathed a sigh of relief. They were now at the Lotus Spring! It was a wonderful area to stop for a break, clean oneself with the water from the waterfall, get a drink, and eat some fruit. It had been so quiet and Maxwell hoped they wouldn't run into any ape. He sat at the water's edge, bathing what dirt had collected on his face. At least there were no rivers and his dirt was getting off his legs, arms, feet, and face. He was glad there was squishy moss to use as a washcloth and there was a single problem...Leaches! Stupid dumb chimpanzee. He shook his head. They would need to be burned off or cut off. "Ugh! I've got leaches all over me. What a dumb chimpanzee." He was trying to keep from removing the leaf clothes. "What about you?" He asked. "We either burn them off or pull them off?" Maxwell asked.
He began to pull them off one by one. Ones he could reach. With each pull, they hurt. But he had to get them off. They were disgusting and he'd toss them into an area away from the lotus spring itself. As he pulled, he pictured each one Cobra and Valhalla. He would toss one against a tree, or a rock. even as well as smashing them. "I hate leaches."

Venus got close to the spring, dipping her entire face into the refreshing pool. Much cleaner and welcoming then that intoxicating river. She flings her head upward after hearing a muffled holler. She sways her head around, and sighs. She coughs. "Uh, leeches? oh, uh. I have no fire." she sits down. "Come here, I'll pluck them," she happily offers assistance. "I'll be gentle. "

Maxwell walked over to her and sat down. "Now I know why they're called leeches. They latch on and don't let go unless you pull them off. They carry illnesses?" He hoped there would be none or else he would be infectious and it would slow them down tremendously.
The spring was so delightful, he wished they could stay. But it was probably better to be on the move. "Don't you wish we could stay here? It's so delightful, peaceful, and so refreshing." He smiled slightly, keeping his eyes on her face.

Cobra had secretly tracked where Maxwell was. He was highly sure the white human was with him. Those two seemed to bond close. So, it would be easy to trace them.
He grips the closest limb, then lands on another. He skillfully swings, landing on his feet, grasping the lowest branch near him. He pulls out his dart gun. Then pauses. What were they doing? Oh yes, when that human was viciously dunked, he gained the pesky bloodsuckers.
He pockets his precise gun, then amusingly watches from the distance. He wasn't sure if Val was nearby or venturing out some part of the jungle. There were multiple springs, just this one was the highest known.

Valhalla swung into a tree and looks down below. They were underneath him and he was watching with a satisfied smirk on his face. He thought about using his tranq. gun, but with the probability of missing, it would spook them. They would flee again and then they would have to pursue. He spotted Cobra and waved.
He began to stealthily move over to him and watched the humans. He grinned as they were peeling bloodsuckers from Maxwell's skin. They were quite the couple and probably had bonded more in their time together.
This was so amusing and interesting to him.

Venus heard rustling in the trees above, then having that eerily feeling of being watched. She foolishly brushed it off. One by one, Venus gently plucks the leeches off. She smiles, looking back into his eyes. A warm smile came. "I would assume so." One of her hands gently rubs her hand across the bloodsuckers rounds. "How come those two apes never got one?"

Maxwell wasn't sure how those two didn't get any leeches. "Maybe they don't notice them." He noticed that most of them were almost gone. "I'll be so happy when we don't see those two again. They make lousy company."
He heard the rustling as well, but shrugged. "Probably an animal." He said. "You know one of those little non-verbal non-enemy apes."

She removes the rest, tossing them into vast, random foliage. One that the cruel slugs would have a difficult time returning. "Or," she rose a finger, "because they're skilled, like everything out here." she sighs. "Not just lousy..but hurtful, and cruel. They only care for themselves." she stands up.
She listens carefully. "I don't know it sounds very close when that younger ape that prevented all my kill attempts while chasing. Also, when the older, freaky one was going through with us attached to their feet." She grips his arm hauling him up. "I have another idea, let's bolt."
She scurries off with Mathew forcibly in tow.

He smiles, "Thank you."
She was right about them being hurtful and cruel. As he stood there, he listens carefully as the rustling stopped. "My guts say it's not a creature of the jungle. That sounded much like an ape. He could feel it in his gut. Well, they had to follow them to the peaceful place of his choice. What were they using? Blood hounds? Their noses.
"Maybe we need to cover our scent." He whispered, as he bolted after her. It was easier to run now. Maxwell didn't feel tired, just annoyed because these two apes were complete idiots. "They must suffer from Idiotitis."

Cobra didn't need to fire a net, instead, a wall found them. Cobra and Valhalla might have aided him as he placed multiple nets in the surrounding area. Only one way did not have, where they were. He cackles as he tailed them, exposing himself to the two.
"Why run?" he taunts, following after. Once they were forced to stop, Cobra mercilessly fired darts at the two. He drops on the ground, knowing he never misses. "You will never escape!"

A wall net? Maxwell yelled out, "Venus! Watch out!" Then he felt a dart pierce his leg and whatever was it in it went through his bloodstream. His eyes became heavy and he fell onto a soft pile of leaves. He was asleep by the time he hit it.
His worst nightmare taunted them. He wished he would have not taken a break.

Valhalla whooped when they both were cornered by the net walls. This was the perfect opportunity to take Venus. He watched the darts soar into their legs and backs. It was a good idea to put them out. "Perfect aim, Cobra!" He landed near him as he watched Maxwell fall to the ground asleep. He walked over to Venus, readying a dart, in case she evaded it. Venus. |

Venus was the one that was hauling him. So, she crashed into the unexpected net. Where did that even come from? She couldn't even think once Maxwell smacked into her, into the net. There was no chance of an escape with crashing into the net and Maxwell pinning. The dart didn't fail it barely pierced her exposed shoulder. She'd collapsed within seconds.

Cobra leapt branch to limb until he was right overhead to Maxwell. He swings upside down, grasping Maxwell's foot. He evilly smiles over to Val. "Thank you. I'm sure you can as well."
He releases from the tree, lands on the one below after lounging Maxwell over his shoulder. He leapt down to the ground. "I love tracking collars. Let's take these two back to the lab. I have a few projects I'd like to do."

Valhalla secured his human by tying her up first and putting her over his shoulder. These humans were finally caught and he hoped they would stay caught. He readily agreed. "Yes, let's get them both to the labs before they try to escape once again
What projects?
Valhalla had a few in mind. Perhaps he needed to train Venus to be a bit more obedient. It was going to be a long walk with these two humans unless they had horses. "Have a horse Cobra?"
