Enjoy chapter 7!
Grandma Jewel crocheted another block for the lap blanket. Beno watched her.
She said, "Welcome back!...Don't worry! You won't vanish suddenly without my good-bye."
She glared at Beno, while the dog suddenly got interested in the nearby blue soft yarn.
She continued, "Well, the cooking show is done and the fatal night had passed. What are they up too today?..."
After the cooking show was finished, Eleanor wandered in to the kitchen. Brittany came down and found her baby sister looking through the cabinets.
Brittany asked, "Are you hungry again?"
Eleanor sighed and closed the cabinets. She looked at Brittany pitifully.
She said, "No...I do not want to do anything. I really miss Theo."
Brittany went over and hugged her.
She said, "You just wait and see. They'll be back."
Eleanor cheered up a bit. They both wet and sat on the porch. Meanwhile Jeanette walked home from the library.
She thought, "You don't really mean that, Simon."
She glanced up and saw the chipmunks' house. She decided to go and see them. She went up to the door and knocked. Ten minutes past, Jeanette turned to leave.
She thought, "Hm…that is strange. They are usually home."
She continued on her walk home. She saw her sisters on the porch.
Brittany asked, "Not home?"
Jeanette said, "Nope, I wanted to talk to them."
Eleanor asked, "How was your library trip?"
Jeanette sat down beside them and sighed.
Jeanette answered, "Not fun really. I kept thinking about Simon."
In her mind, Jeanette thought, "Simon, cut that out! I am worried about you."
Meanwhile Brittany was getter angrier and angrier.
She thought, "Alvin! I can't believe you did that. Look what you caused to my sisters."
Suddenly out of the blue, Eleanor said, "Theodore acted strange a couple weeks ago. It was before that fight."
Both Brittany and Jeanette looked at her in surprised.
Brittany asked, 'Really?"
Eleanor nodded.
Jeanette added, "Simon and Alvin were strange too. It as though they have a project to do or something."
It was after 8pm when Brittany stood up and started down the street. Both of her sisters hurried after her.
Brittany said, "It time we get to the bottom of this once and for all. No one walks out of Brittany."
They went to the chipmunks' house where Brittany knocked on the door. An old woman next door watched them.
She spoke, "They are not home."
Jeanette turned and said, "Oh, do you know when they will be back?"
The old woman said, "Nope. Dave took them last night. The chipmunks were still asleep."
Jeanette nodded, Eleanor peeked in the winders.
Eleanor said, "She is right. Dave left suddenly. All the lights are sill on."
Brittany headed home.
She said "We'll call him!"…
Grandma Jewel concluded, "Brittany is sure mad. One thing for certain…The chipmunks are gone! Soon they will find out the real truth behind the chipmunks' actions. See you next time."
Beno added, "The story wrap up is combined with the last chapter. So we will see you at the ranch house!"
We left as Grandma wondered about the sudden change.
