Endangered

Sophie stops to listen and does not hear the peacekeepers following her. She realizes that she has placed herself and Otto in a dangerous situation by entering the enclosure. Sophie puts Otto on the ground, and he begins exploring, finding some beetles to play with and eat. Sophie climbs a tree for a better vantage point. She sees that the UN van is gone, but she also sees a nearby village on fire with a pile of bodies in the village’s center. She climbs down the tree to warn Patrice and the others, feeling stupid for not leaving with the van.

As Sophie approaches the enclosure gate, she hears gunshots and screams. The shots scare Otto, who hides under a bush. Sophie curls around him as she listens to the sounds of the attack on the sanctuary and sees the young bonobos escape the nursery and climb into the surrounding trees. Sophie then hears the rebels approach the enclosure fence and realizes that she is visible. She cradles the terrified Otto in her arms and slowly moves further back into the enclosure. The pair come to a small clearing and sit down to rest.
