Chad's right butt ached. He looked down and saw the orange feathers of the tranq dart buried in his thigh.
"Thanks, Damian, for alerting us about this loose female gorilla. I think someone around here must be breeding them. She's pretty young, just recently pubescent. Maybe 4-7 years old. The zoo vet can give a more accurate age. Maestro the Silverback will be thrilled to add her to his harem.
"Since you spotted her. Do you want to name her?"
"How about Chad?" Damian said with a smirk.
"Ain't that a guy's name?"
"It's a country in Africa where gorillas come from."
"This is the second ape you found for us. This one at the high school, and last summer at that music camp. How do you?"
"I lived in Africa with my folks when I was younger. Apes may be good at hiding, but I recognize the signs. Bushes broken a certain way. Their scent and such."
"Looks like Chad is down for the count, better her get her to the zoo before she wakes. Thanks again, Damian. And keep your eyes out for more apes."
"Oh, I will. When I found this one, I was expecting a male Chimp, based on the signs. So there may be a Chimp or two out and about or maybe more gorillas?"
Chad snored.
When she woke she was inside the zoo's gorillas habitat.
