A/N: Chapter 4 is up! At this time I would like to thank my two reviewers, an anonymous reviewer and Kali101… I would like to thank you both for your reviews they have given me encouragement to continue this story.

So yeah….please leave a review after you've finished reading thank you.

About 5 days ago back home in LA:

"D.J, please you have to do something" Dave pleaded the officer and ex-colonel, D.J who was sitting across from him tapped a pen on his desk as he thought about it, "Dave you know I can't do anything… legally, those guys were government agents" he replied.

"I know… but what they're planning to do to them will ruin their lives forever" Dave said still pleading the sergeant for his help.

The Colonel thought about it some more then nodded, Dave was right and those six chipmunks had become like family to him over the past few months "ok… I'll fly up to D.C and see what I can do" he then pressed a button on his desk and said "pull Hogan and Pepper off the street" he ordered into the intercom.

Half hour later the two officers came into the office, "what's up Boss?" Hogan asked curiously

"You two remember Mr. Seville" D.J said, both officers in turn shook hands with Dave while exchanging greetings.

"His chipmunks were kidnapped again" D.J said, Hogan sighed "I thought we locked that sleaze bag up?"

"This is different… I'll explain on the flight…. As of now we are off duty, let's go" the sergeant said then left the office with his two men. Dave nodded his head approvingly as he headed home knowing the situation was in good hands.

The three men boarded a flight for D.C then D.J dialed yet another one of his fellow officers and friend's number on his cell phone, "hey Jerry, D.J here I need you to do me a favor….."

Present time in D.C.:

"Doctor Brown" a young man inquired as he entered the laboratory.

The gray haired doctor turned around as the other said "my name's Jerry I'm your new assistant" the man said with a warm smile.

"Jerry?" Alvin asked curiously recognizing the officer, the doctor was thoughtful stole a glance at the chipmunk and said "I really don't need help" he said "but tell them thank you any way".

"I don't think you understand" Jerry said "I was sent to learn from you… you should be getting a fax from my Colonel about now" and as if on cue the fax machine started printing out a paper. The doctor put down his chemicals and picked up the paper, "Colonel D.J Bond… I thought he retired a while ago... that was a sad day for the Marine Corp and the whole military" the man said.

"He is retired but he's still my commanding officer" Jerry said confidently,

"But how did you get in here this lab has black level security….nobody can get in here without a black pass"

"I have a black pass" he said retrieving his pass key from his coat pocket "but somehow they screwed up my picture" he said shaking his head at the photo of some other scientist. Dr. Brown shook his head "D.J will never change… any friend of D.J is welcome in my lab" he said shaking the man's hand.

Turning to the six chipmunks he rubbed his hands together eagerly, "ok fellas let's start your tests" he said. As he looked at the cage he thought about something then said "there's no need for this… you guys will behave yourselves right?" he said opening the door to the cage. Jerry was somewhat surprised, when D.J told him somebody kidnapped the chipmunks again, and when he found the doctor he was sure that he would be the stereotypical evil scientist, but this fellow was actually a very nice guy.

The six chipmunks enjoyed the freedom of being able to roam around the lab, but the doctor wasn't all that nice, he made them stay in a central area so he could keep track of them. "Ok" he said pulling up a chair in front of the counter they were standing on, he glanced at the clipboard he held then asked "who's Alvin?"

The red clad chipmunk raised his hand and said "here"

The doctor nodded and wrote something down "Simon?"

"Here" the bespectacled chipmunk replied

"And Theodore" the doctor asked

"Right here" he answered shyly

"Ok very good… Brittany?"

"Here" the chipette replied

"Jeanette?"

"Here" she replied

"And last but not least… Eleanor?" the doctor said with a smile

"I'm here" she replied with a small giggle

"Good" the doctor said "now I know all of your names"

Jerry watched all of this somewhat surprised, the scientist wasn't in any hurry at all to start his tests he sat their talking and conversing with the chipmunks for some time getting to know them better, taking the opportunity Jerry turned away and took out a small radio.

"D.J, do you copy?" he asked

"Loud and clear" the sergeant replied

"They don't seem to be in any danger right now… the scientist conducting the tests happens to be an admirer of yours" Jerry replied

"Ok" the sergeant said then paused for a second "just hang out there… don't let anything happen without him explaining what he's doing; remember your trying to learn stuff".

"D.J I've got PhD's in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and-" Jerry was quickly cut off by D.J

"I know what you got, I also know that you're the best scientist I ever knew and I can trust you" D.J said then signed off. Jerry complied and went back over to the table were the man was talking to the chipmunks.

"Ok Brittany we'll start with you" he said gently picking her up and carrying her over to his examination counter, he set her down and turned to Jerry, "what I'm about to do now is-" he started but was cut off by Jerry, holding out his qualifications, listing all the degrees he had received, "I see" the doctor said "you could have said something". Jerry nodded "you may continue".

"Ok Brittany" Dr. Brown said "right now I'm going to take a few samples" he said reaching for something, "does that require a needle?" Brittany asked just as he turned around to reveal the answer was yes, "I'm afraid so" he replied sadly. The chipette sighed loudly as she plopped down, "don't worry… I've perfected the art of administering shots and taking samples without causing pain" he said, Brittany really didn't believe him as she turned her head away waiting for the pain but it never came "all done" he announced. Brittany was intrigued; he had actually taken a blood sample without causing her any pain.

The doctor quickly took samples from the other five then began to run physical tests while Jerry tested the blood samples. By late afternoon everybody was pretty well tired out, and during early evening a man came down dressed in a security uniform, "hey doc, just came down to check on you make sure everything was alright".

"Why… they don't usually care?"

"Well to be honest they really don't but I do… and I'm sorry to say the big shots upstairs are pretty mad right now because you missed the board meeting this morning" the security officer said leaning against the counter.

"Who do they think I am?" the doctor asked "they tell me I've only got a week to finish testing on the chipmunks, but yet I'm supposed to take time out of my day, time away from my research to listen to them talk about replacing me… let's face it every time I go and try to present something they just shoot it down".

"I kinda liked the Taser pen… heck I've used it like four times in the past week… and the actually slip resident boots… I was chasing a guy across ice last winter and realized that that guy was having trouble standing upright, but I was running across it as if it were pavement" the security guard said.

"At least I have one vote of confidence" the doctor said "they didn't vote to have me replaced did they?" he asked worry seeping into his voice.

"No your job is safe for now… being head of security I moved that the vote be closed so I could talk about some security systems that need to be updated… but I don't understand it, why wouldn't you want to retire… get a nice government pension and just relax".

"You don't get it Bob, nobody seems too… I love doing this….I grew up in this very same lab, I started here as an apprentice when I was fresh out of college and moved my way up the ranks… and I'm not ready to let it go, not yet" he said "besides I've got some very high level research going on that I've got to finish".

Bob nodded "how about we catch a bite… I'm on my way out and by the looks of it you're wrapping things up here". Dr. Brown nodded "just give me second".

"Ok meet you by the front door" the security guard said then left. Turning to Jerry, Dr. Brown said "you coming?"

"No… I better stay here overnight… I can't risk using this fake pass that often or somebody might figure out that I'm not who they think I am, I'll spend the night in here" he said with a smile. The elder man nodded then departed.

Later that evening the chipmunks began to go to bed in the padded cage that the door was open on, while Jerry slept on a cot against one of the walls. Good thing for the chipmunks Jerry was an extremely light sleeper, because later that night the sound of the lock on the door unlatching woke the officer up. He sprung out of bed and ran over behind the door just in time for it to swing in concealing him against the wall.

Two men walked in one of them carrying a small cage, "we only need two of them" the one whispered gaining a nod from his partner. They slowly made their way over to the larger cage and reached in, they carefully picked up two and put them in the cage and was about to dart out when Jerry appeared out of nowhere and blocked their path.

"Going somewhere?" he asked, the man with the cage tried to punch him but he blocked it and punched him back causing him to drop the cage onto the hard tiled floor. The man quickly recovered and started backing Jerry up against the wall with his partner, and that's when it took off, Jerry and the other two men started swinging, blocking and kicking out at each other. 'Dang Pepper makes this look easy' he thought remembering watching his partner take out 5 professional fighters.

Quickly gaining the upper hand by using his foot in a sweeping motion and knocking the one man on his back he quickly disposed of the second guy. Seeing them both unconscious he quickly tied them up and shoved them in the closet. "Jerry… get us out of here!" Alvin called up from the small cage that had been dropped on the ground, the officer quickly let out Alvin and Jeanette. "What happened?" the red clad chipmunk asked having only woken up when the cage hit the floor.

"Never mind….I'll explain some other time" he said then put them back in the other larger cage before returning to his own bed.

Although very unsatisfied with the answer the tired chipmunks went back to bed as well.

The next day they were awoken by the sound of the doctor coming into the lab, he walked over and opened up the closet he kept his lab coat in and was surprised to find two other scientists tied to each other and gagged. "What's this?" he asked Jerry who was just waking up, the man shook the sleep away and said "they broke in last night and tried to steal two of the chipmunks… Do you know who they are?"

"Yes, they work for a rival of mine… he's trying to get my position and wants this project" the doctor replied furiously he then turned to the men and untied them, "get out of my lab, and if you ever try something like that again I'll have you fired!" he ordered furiously.

Both men darted out of the lab and back to their own which was some ways down the hall, turning back to the chipmunks who were all finally waking up he said "I'm sorry this is so unpleasant for you … I'm doing the best I can to make this tolerable".

"We know" Simon replied for the group, "and we thank you, a lesser man wouldn't care what happened to us".

The day's seemed to pass more quickly and so did the tests. By the end of the week they still had no idea what they were doing here, but they did as they were instructed for the most part. One day the doctor came into the lab very depressed and saddened. As he gathered up his journals, Jeanette noticed and scurried up to him and asked "what's wrong?"

The man shook his head "I didn't want this to happen, but they did it, they retired me and made that other younger scientist you met, the Head Scientist… and he's taking over the project you're a part of".

Jeanette was terrified "but… you can't….he's not near as nice as you are, he'll end up hurting us I just know it".

Dr. Brown shrugged "I'm sorry Jeanette I did everything I could".

Just as the older doctor finished gathering up his stuff the other younger scientist walked in, and began to set up, he walked over to the older man and said "I told you I would have this position and your project… I always win". The older man ignored him and went over to the chipmunks "if he does anything you don't like or if he hurts you, tell Jerry he'll take care of it" he said.

"I don't think so… your buddy Jerry here is about to be escorted off the premises by security for having a stolen pass key" the man said grabbing the fake idea. Jerry smirked "they'll never catch me….me and my squad are pros" he retorted.

"You talk as if you work with the great and wonderful D.J Bond for Pete's sake" the doctor replied.

"You have no idea" Jerry replied, and as if on cue the door swung open "Jerry let's get out of here security's on their way" D.J announced.

"The D.J Bond" the younger scientist muttered in awe upon seeing the famed Colonel, Jerry disappeared out of the lab with his fellow officer. Quickly recomposing himself he said "now 'Mr.' Brown you can vacate my lab before I have security throw you out" the younger man said turning away from the older man. The chipmunks turned to the new doctor, "so what's your name?" Theodore asked innocently. "I don't hold conversation with my test subjects" he said then quickly locked them in the cage.

"Guys… I think we have a huge problem" Alvin said watching the man look at the data from the previous test they had undergone.

"That fool could have had the project wrapped up 3 days ago" the new doctor said, then began to look at other notes "ok this might come in handy" he said looking at the clipboard that had the chipmunk's names on it. He then walked over to the cage and began subdividing them into groups of two, Brittany and Alvin in a cage, Theodore and Eleanor in a cage and Simon and Jeanette in a cage. Each set was placed in their cage and put side by side on the counter. The doctor looked at them satisfied then began working on something else.

"I want to know what this guy is up to" Alvin stated in a whisper so only the others could hear him, "I think we better keep a watchful eye on this guy" Simon remarked.

For the next couple of days they weren't allowed out of the cages at all, they were kept locked up; Alvin was getting extremely restless which seemed to please the scientist. While Brittany did nothing but sit against one of the walls and talk to either Jeanette who was on her left or Eleanor who was on her right.

As the doctor came over to take note of how they were doing Alvin asked for the umpteenth time "what are you going to do with us?"

At this point the scientist concluded that it wouldn't hurt to tell them what the game plan was, "oh….nothing much, just replenish the chipmunk population of the United States" the scientist said

"You want me to do WHAT with her/him?" Alvin and Brittany shouted together

"Come, come… it's not that bad" the scientist replied "look at it as an opportunity to get to know each other a little better".

"I really don't want to know him that 'close', no offence Alvin" Brittany said

Alvin shrugged "none taken"

"Regardless of how you feel about it none of you will leave until I'm able to record some sort of… activity" the man said turning back to his data sheets. Simon seemed intrigued by this "and what happens when… something does happen?" he asked curiously.

"If one of the girls tests positive on a pregnancy test that couple will be relocated out in the wild completely free for good" the scientist replied.

Simon nodded "sounds… interesting"

For the rest of the day the scientist worked on other projects paying the chipmunk's very little attention,

"I don't want to get home that bad… I'll sit here until I rot if that's the only way out" Brittany stated sitting down in one of the corners. Alvin shook his head as he rolled his eyes "would it really be all that bad?"

"Do you really think I want any of my children growing up looking and acting like you?" Brittany asked giving him a sideways smirk.

As Alvin was about to retort the scientist walked over and checked on them one last time before leaving for the day, as he exited the door he bumped into a janitor who had a dark bushy mustache, "sorry senor" he said in a Spanish accent, the scientist scoffed and walked off letting the man push his cart into the lab.

Once inside the man checked the door then took off his hat and mustache to reveal that it was actually D.J Bond in a very clever disguise. He quietly made his way into the next room where he found the cages the chipmunks were in, "D.J!" Alvin cried out being the first one to spot the man, the officer ran over and looked at the locks, then at the fact that the cages were securely fastened to the table as well.

"Most likely has an alarm too" he said thoughtfully looking at the various wires running about under the table. "You fellas alright?… they didn't hurt you did they?" he asked, "not yet… I don't think they plan on hurting us" Simon replied. D.J nodded, he already knew what they were planning so he said "I'll come up with a way to get you out of here… just give me and my team a little time" he said then began to leave "where are you going?" Brittany asked.

"Being the janitor if I'm not out of here within a certain amount of time they'll start to get suspicious that I may be tampering with something, so I've got to clean this place up and get out of here, hang tough" he said then departed the room after donning his disguise as to not be spotted by anybody who might recognize him.

As the evening turned into night the chipmunks started to drop off to sleep, all except Simon, he was determined to figure out the combination to the lock, he already tried all the obvious ones so he sat thinking and thinking. Then it hit him he hopped up and tried todays date, it popped open, 'go figure… he just got his promotion, and the project he wanted on the same day that should have been obvious' Simon thought then ran over to the other side of the cage where Jeanette was sleeping soundly.

He knelt down and began to shake her gently, she stirred then finally woke up, "Simon… what is it?" she asked barely opening her eyes, "I got the lock open, let's get to work" Simon said happily.

After hearing what he had said she snapped awake, "if my plan works we could all be home in time for Christmas" Simon said then leapt for the cage door but was stopped by Jeanette "Simon… what's your plan?" she asked. Simon nodded realizing he was rushing, taking a deep breath to slow his mind down he walked over to her and whispered something into her ear. "I don't know…" she said hesitantly, but Simon wasn't going to let this chance pass, "it's our only choice… if we don't act fast I'm afraid our impulsive older siblings might do something foolish" Simon said convincing Jeanette into helping him in his plan.

The next morning while he was still lying down Alvin yawned and stretched his arms above his head then down, as he did his hands came into contact with the softest fur he had ever felt and it wasn't his own, he lifted his head and saw Brittany curled up next to him using his stomach as a pillow. Alvin shook his head letting it fall freely, he had forgotten he wasn't in his bed but in a cage. The chipmunk's furry head hit the hard cage with a dull thud; he moaned in pain and grasped the back of his head in pain while Brittany continued to sleep using him as a pillow.

Within the course of a couple of minutes the scientist came in and played with a few data pads then started examining the chipettes one by one starting with Eleanor and finishing with Brittany.

As he grabbed Brittany he tore her right out of her sleep, "huh?… what?" she mumbled being pulled out of the cage, "why does he even bother doesn't he know we aren't going to do anything like that" Alvin said slumping against the wall of his cage as he watched the scientist carry the chipette out in to the other room.

When the scientist emerged from the other room, Brittany looked terrified and confused but the young scientist had a very pleased and satisfied expression on his face. "Looks like someone's going to be relocated this afternoon" he said in a joyful tone putting her back into the cage.

"Does the mean she's….she's going to have a…." Alvin said having a very sudden loss for words, "but we didn't do anything!" he cried out.

Their two youngest siblings were completely speechless as they stared with their mouths hanging agape. While Simon and Jeanette seemed to be strangely staying calm in this interesting and confusing situation and nor did they say anything. The scientist who was thrilled his project was progressing quickly made arrangements for Alvin and Brittany to be relocated; the happy scientist tossed the clipboard on the table and walked over to the phone on the other counter. Simon curiously began reading the paperwork on the clipboard and came to a realization that startled him "we would all be relocated to different areas?"

The scientist over heard him and said "yeah… that way we can get even population spread throughout the US" he said, Jeanette looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

"Where are we going?" Alvin asked not really caring because he was still confused about everything that has happened thus far this morning. Simon looked at the clipboard that had the various locations on it "some national park in Minnesota" he replied. Alvin didn't really care where he was going; he had other more important things to think about.

Once the relocation team arrived later that morning Alvin and Brittany's cage was taken away leaving the other four in the laboratory. "Simon… maybe this wasn't such a good idea" Jeanette commented in a quiet whisper so the other two wouldn't hear, Simon shrugged "it's too late to reverse it now, we'll just have to be more careful with the other two" Simon replied quietly, "I just hope those two have enough sense to head home".

Brittany had remained silent the whole time feeling extremely distressed and depressed, she hadn't even bothered to speak until they were in midflight somewhere when she began to open up a bit. "Alvin… what are we going to do?... we're not ready for this" she said worry overtaking her voice, the chipmunk shrugged sadly "I really don't know I've never been in a situation like this before" he paused and thought for a long moment, "Brittany did we do anything, I have no memory of doing anything that could result in this" he said. The chipette shrugged "I guess we did somewhere somehow, I know I don't remember anything either" she replied.

Several hours later the airplane touched down at an airport, from there the cage was transported to a truck and they were drove out into the middle of the woods then were walked even further into the woods. The door to the cage was opened and Alvin hopped out quickly but Brittany on the other hand took her time trying not to hurt herself as she slowly and carefully climbed out through the open doorway. Alvin noticed that the chipette was moving more slowly and carefully, he quickly realized he might have to slow down a little bit to help her from time to time.

Both chipmunks looked around the densely wooded forest and quickly found a hollow tree they could use as a nest. Alvin thought since they began living with Dave that his wild instincts wouldn't be needed anymore, but they sure came in handy now, the red clad chipmunk quickly assembled a warm cozy nest in the hollow tree for him and Brittany. That evening Alvin settled into his new home with Brittany, "Alvin… now that we're out of the lab we could go home" she said hopefully.

"We could but Brittany we're all the way up here in Minnesota, how would we get all the way down to California?" Alvin replied

"We could mail ourselves again… now that they're not looking for us we would be able to make it all the way home" she said still remaining hopeful. But Alvin shook his head "that would jostle you around too much and in your condition that could be extremely dangerous" he replied.

Brittany nodded "we could walk… that wouldn't be too hard on any of us at least for a while" she said then added "besides I want to get home before I give birth that way we won't have to travel with a baby".

"Or three" Alvin put in, Brittany shot him a glare that could split rocks "don't even go there Alvin"

"Brittany let's face it, triplets is in our genes… and I've got my money on three" he replied.

"Somehow Alvin I think this is all your fault" Brittany said, Alvin thought for a second then said "actually for the first time in history something isn't completely my fault… after all it's got to be as much as your fault as it is mine" he replied. Brittany only snorted as she shook her head. With that discussion closed they decided it was time for bed and went to sleep without saying another word.

A/N: Getting kinda interesting isn't it? Anyway… I need more reviews for this story, if you believe it or not it's REALLY hard to write a story without the feedback, positive or negative from the readers… and this lack of feedback is the greatest killer of our authors on FanFiction, so please leave a review positive or negative I really don't care just submit something.

Oh and don't forget to vote on my poll if you haven't already ready :)
