Chapter 4: The Rescue
After landing on the roof of the Cat Food Factory, the Rescue Rangers looked in through the skylight. They saw a male chipmunk in a cage while Fat Cat and Rat Capone were arguing over something.
They slipped the skylight open and threw down a rope that was tied to a vent.
"Your stupid henchmen couldn't capture a female chipmunk!" Fat Cat yelled.
"At least they got her brother. We can use him for ransom, see?"
"Yes. His safety for the jewel. I like it."
Meanwhile,
Chip motioned to Zipper and pointed to the lock. Clark was about to say something to greet his old friends, but was motioned to keep silent so not to attract attention.
"Long time no see." Clark whispered to Chip and Dale after the cage was opened and they started to climb the rope up.
Gadget and Chip were the last two on the rope. As they started climbing, they were grabbed.
"Thought you could rescue my hostage and get away from it, didn't you?" Fat Cat told his two new hostages.
He then threw them into the cage and locked it.
"You may have ruined my chances for the jewel, but at least now I have two Rescue Rangers at my disposal." Fat Cat taunted
The villains started laughing.

Two hours later,
Chip and Gadget were pacing in the cage. For an hour, Gadget had attempted to pick the lock, but couldn't reach the spring. Now, the only thing they could do was wait for either the Rangers to return for them, or for Fat Cat to do them in.
"What a mess." Chip sighed.
"Where are those guys?" Gadget asked looking at the skylight.
She only saw the moon and a few stars.
"I'm sure they're on their way." Chip tried to reassure Gadget (needing the reassurance himself)
The truth was, Chip knew it would take Dale and Monty longer to for a plan. He knew they were capable of it, it was just usually it was himself and Gadget forming the plans
"You're awfully antsy." Gadget said as she watched Chip attempt to stay in one place.
"I don't do well in cages." Chip admitted.
"Neither do I." Gadget told him. "What about Dale?"
"Not unless there's a working television in it, or nearby." Chip joked.
That did the trick. Gadget smiled.
"You seemed awfully distracted today." Chip said "Wanna talk?"
"Not really." She said with a blush. "I'm trying to figure it out myself."
Suddenly, the elevator bell rang. Chip subconsciously stood between Gadget and the elevator door.
The doors opened.
