As soon as the chimp was spotted, hospital security jumped into action, calling for an evacuation right away. “Everyone, please proceed to the nearest exit calmly!” they shouted, their voices firm yet reassuring, cutting through the air. They moved quickly, guiding the bewildered crowd, making it clear they were leaving nothing to chance with a wild chimp on the loose inside the building. “Stay together and follow me!” they directed, ensuring no one was left behind in the scramble to safety.
The surge of adrenaline from the earlier moment was nothing compared to what Jessie felt next; her heart hammered in her chest with an intensity that drowned out everything else. This was it—her chance to make a difference, to alter the course of events unfolding before her eyes. The sight of the chimp was etched into her mind, a vivid image she couldn’t ignore. She was compelled to act, driven by a mix of concern and curiosity.
