The chimp has less time. As the chimp hears the elevator's cord snap, he's already in motion, swinging (with a large squid wrapped frantically around his head and body) in through the open doors just as the elevator drops down, narrowly missing the primate and mollusk.

His hands, however, are wet with ink and water, and what should be a graceful leap turns into a spinning, flailing, tentacled mess through the air, past several animal cages, and directly into one labeled, "Quarantine - fleas."

There's a crunch of chimpanzee on wire mesh.
