"Here monkey monkey... I just want to teach you something funny! WAKE UP!!!!"
Mav and Rick heard a voice shout this. Mav peeked his head around the corner. There was no-one there. He turned to his side to see that Rick is gone! Turning back he sees his friend INSIDE the monkey enclosure, trying to wake up the monkeys!
"Rick!!!" Mav whispered as loud as he dared, "Rick get OUT of there! You are going to get ripped apart!"
Rick just laughed, and continued to taunt the groggy monkeys.
Suddenly the biggest one woke up. He was angry. And he could only see Mav. Mav scrambled back from the cage, and the monkey started to charge. He was making a very loud racket!
"RICK! We got to get OUT of here. NOW!" Mav grabbed Ricks hand, and ran.
Lights were opening all over the zoo. The noise had woken the other animals too. The owl swooped down over their heads. Soon the gate was in view. Freedom.
Rick ran through the other side, as Mav began to climb. Searchlights were combing the zoo. They were getting closer. Mav was almost at the top.
Behind him he heard dogs barking, and the owl hooting.
He wasn't sure he would make it.
Then Rick came to save the day. He turned back around and went back through the gate.
"I'll hold them off. You go home. Ill meet you there later!"
Mav felt a tear drip down his face. Rick may not make it back. But he was giving himself so Mav could get away, and he couldn't let it go to waste.
