Chapter 1: Meetings
Gadget was at Ranger Headquarters alone. The boys were off shopping and she was finishing up making adjustments to the Ranger Wing.
"Excuse me?" a female voice asked.
Gadget popped her head from the pilot side of the airplane to see a worried female chipmunk.
"Hello." Gadget greeted. "How may I help you?"
"Is this the home of the Rescue Rangers?" the chipmunk asked.
"Yeah." Gadget said. "I'm Gadget."
"I'm Clarisse. I really need your help."
"Golly. What seems to be the trouble?"
"It's my brother." Clarisse said. "You see, we just moved here, and he was kidnapped. I asked around…."
Flashback
"Pardon me," Clarisse said to a mouse. "I need help. You see,"
"Sorry. Busy." The mouse said.
"Excuse me." Clarisse said to a raccoon. "I need,"
But the raccoon was busy doing something else, and ignored her.
"Please. I need help!" Clarisse said to nobody in particular.
"What's the matter?" a teenage squirrel asked.
"My brother was kidnapped." Clarisse told the squirrel. "And I don't know who to go to."
"Have you tried the Rescue Rangers?" the squirrel asked. "They helped me and my sister a few times."
"I've never heard of them."
"You've NEVER heard of the Rescue Rangers?!" The squirrel exclaimed. "They're only the greatest rescue team ever in the animal world!"
"Would they help me?"
"In a heartbeat."
"Where can I find them?"
End Flashback
"So the squirrel gave me the directions." Clarisse finished.
"Well, you've come to the right place. The others are out right now, but they should be back soon. Why don't we go inside and tell me what you know?"

In the kitchen a few minutes later,
"Well," Clarisse said. "I'm a singer. My brother is my manager. When we got here, we were grabbed. I managed to escape, but my brother didn't."
"Do you know why?" Gadget asked.
"Probably because of my necklace." She said as she pulled a gold chain on her neck.
The pendant was a ruby surrounded by diamonds.
"Golly." Gadget said. "It's beautiful."
"Thanks. My brother gave it to me."
"Did you see who the crooks were?"
"A cat, two lizards, a mole, a rat, and a strong mouse. "
"Sounds like Rat Capone and Fat Cat working together." Gadget said half to herself.
"You know the villains?"
"Unfortunately yes." Gadget told her. "We've dealt with them before. Now all we have to do is wait for the boys. Who was the squirrel who referred us to you?"
"A teenage one named Tammy." Clarisse said. "Do you know her?"
Gadget started laughing.
"Oh yeah." She told the chipmunk. "Sorry. It's just, we rescued her and her baby sister from Fat Cat. We snuck into Fat Cat's Casino as the entertainment. The guys were dressed up as girls and actually pulled it off for a while. It was just when we were sneaking out when we were caught."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Tammy had the biggest crush on…"
"C'mon. Just one small bite." A voice with an Australian accent said from the other side of the door.
"Absolutely not." Another said. "You'll eat all of the cheese before we get it to the kitchen."
"They're back." Gadget said walking into the living room. "Don't worry. We'll come up with a plan and…"
The door swung open and Dale jumped over the couch and turned on the T.V. to the Sci-Fi channel.
"Back from shopping?" Gadget asked as she picked up the grocery bag Dale dropped.
"Yeah. Now I have enough material for my Walnut Walaroos. Except for the walnuts." Monterey Jack said going into the kitchen with Chip and Gadget.
"We can get Dale to get those." Chip said.
"Guys." Gadget introduced when she put her bag on the counter. "This is Clarisse. Her brother was kidnapped."
"Hello there." Monterey said as he put down his bag.
"Hello." Clarisse said.
"Clarisse?" Chip asked.
"Chip?" she asked.
