I spy.

Jennifer wasn't alone that night and she hadn't really sneaked away without a fellow renegade who was armed with a gun. Her protection wasn't a member of an ape council member named Luca. It was young man named Arnie. He had became her protector and companion since Andrew hadn't returned. Her father had appointed someone who was 18 and wouldn't be returning to the city to spy. Jennifer was talking in a low voice. "Come on Arnie. It's not far. I've been there countless times during the day. It's a clear view of the stars. I left a note to Mom and Dad, too."

Arnie followed with his gun. He could tell Jennifer was always going somewhere. Like she couldn't sit still. "You'll get us both in trouble. You aren't supposed to leave the camp!" Arnie argued with her. "Plus, don't forget. There are Overlords. You need to be more careful, Jennifer."

"I heard they don't come out at night. They're afraid of the dark." She made that last bit up. "They would rather stay home than come out here to hunt. They don't like nights." She shined a light in front of her. "Besides, you're armed with a gun. I'm not able to shoot one yet." She paused, noticing her voice had gotten a little louder. More impatient.

Arnie shook his head. "Who told you that they don't come out at night? They do. Maybe not in the jungle. But they're out in that cursed city of theirs."

Shawn heard bickering and went to investigate. He knew a teenagers. One young and one adult. "Alright." He said stepping out from hiding. "Lets go back to the camp before they miss all of us." His gun was aimed downwards to the ground. Ever since he lost his daughter to the Overlords, he hadn't figured out how to find her. He was worried about her. "Especially you, Jennifer." He added, strolling over. "You are too young to be out here without your parents. No less your guard."

Shawn wasn't with the Renegades. But he had been staying with them under their protection. His wife, too. "Arnie is also right. There are Overlords and wild animals."

Daemon was silently listening to the bickering. One sounded awfully like a child and the other two were adults. Trying to get the child to obey. Well, she didn't know any better. She should have kept silent because they could hear them well. He also heard the faintest rustle with his ears.

He saw them and frowned. There was a child. Silently nodding to Ursus.

Actually, Norrix was already alerted by Ursus's secret presence within the darkened trees. Maybe Ursus wasn't aware he had already been detected before signaling the two over once rustling of a leaf. Well, at least the exceedingly faint sound was directed to the apes.

Norrix darkly grins, expecting the trio not detect shaded apes to camouflage within the folaige above them. Unlike humans where at times they were exposed by their clothes and possibly complexion. And not just that there was three! What were the odds? Perhaps there was more...?

Norrix already directing his prepped rifle, noiselessly aimed it at the trio. Without warning a 'silent' shot popped out. A heavy, large net soaring below, attempting to cover them in the net. Of course, there is always a chance it didn't get all. No one is a perfect shot.

Xyrrie was on a long, nightly hunt that moment. There was no luck! None! At all! This was insane, where we're all the nocturnal animals? Or the daytime 'blind' animals. Was there a danger in the area? As in a cat or ape? Though most jungle cats are sleeping, some do hunt during nightfall.

For a long time, after detecting the three within the trees. It wasn't that complicated to notice massive, 'round' shadows. That wasn't normal. Actually she wasn't at all behind, but above. Her exceedingly silent footsteps traveled above. Other than that, she heard the trio. What? Who would be that loud!?

She remains still, intently witnessing. She could have hollered down, to alert. But, then, it would alert her position. She was dressed in a black wolf attire to resemble the darkness that surrounded her.

Once the net was encased, she swung from a vine, then hastily removed it. With her 'strong' might, it wouldn't be that hard. She returns back into the depths of the dark, then momentarily hide. She disguised her scent as well. Since predators could catch a human's scent.

Ursus was pretty positive either the two would go forth and fire upon the mindless trio below, unaware of their foolishness causing only their 'end'. Ursus hadn't schemed to go straight after, no he'd wait.
Inaudibly his intense, wicked eyes monitored the group, seeming to survey the petite group for possible capture.
Two caught his eye, Shawn, who appeared to be a probable fighter and the young adult, a renegade? What intriguing options.
As the three were caped by the large net. Being directly across from the two, Ursus detected a faint, small shadow motion a little. With extreme swiftness, he fires just as Xyrrie lands gracefully. The cruel bullet wasn't to kill, but more to injure.
Once that human's leaks blood, her scent would draw anything, especially apes. He had no worry now. She could be a possible target. Besides, he would know if she was dangerously near. One down to easily sense their scent. Can't escape now. He just wants that Renegade.
He glides through the trees, blending in miraculously through the shadows of the night. Sneakily going after Arnie.
