Will Pov

I woke up feeling more pain in my lower part. I opened my eyes and saw that the apes were already working. I sat on the floor and tried to see Caesar among them, but I could not see him.

"Will?" Malcolm asked me and I turned my head towards him.

''Oh, hey,'' I replied exhaustedly.

''Are you feeling better?'' He asked.

"If I don't survive here please promise me that you will always look out for Caesar," I said.

''What? Will, you're not going to die here. Trust me, we'll save ourselves--'' he didn't finish because I looked at him with pleading eyes.

''I promise,'' he said.

"But we already came up with a plan while you were unconscious. We make holes underground, and Maurice and the other apes who are not in captivity help us,'' he added.

"Really?" I asked and he nodded.

"You don't do that because you're too exhausted, we'll save you. For now just rest,'' he said and I closed my eyes trying to relax.

It's been a few hours since the apes worked. Dusk could come in an hour. I am very worried especially about Caesar's condition. I'm not sure he can work this long. Then the soldiers put the apes back in the cage. I turned to Caesar and looked at him. I wanted to talk to him but someone interrupted me. I looked back to see the soldier opening my cage. I stood up, sighed deeply and let him take me. They brought me to the same place where the Colonel raped me. I waited like that for half an hour and then I heard the door open.

Will was taken away by the soldiers, this was already a warning sign for another rape. I couldn't allow that. The soldiers were no longer outside so we could continue with the plan. Maurice dug the hole under me. Before I went down I looked at where the other cages were so that I could predict where to dig the next hole. I got down and we started moving underground through a tunnel dug by apes. First, of course, we freed Caesar and then the other apes. Now is the time for real action.
