Chapter 10 Home Coming

Tyler told everyone the next day about what he did, where they all took it pretty shocked. They thought he was crazy for giving up his powers, even if it was temporary. But they all respected Tyler's wish. Tyler's parents still hadn't heard from his parents, but Tyler figure he give them time.

Brittany was starting to show as well, and all the symptoms of pregnancy were starting to show. But she remained happy at the thought of her and Alvin having a child.

A week had passed since Tyler gave Alvin his spark. Tyler kept doing what he did best, being positive and happy. Alvin went back home for a day because Dave had to go over their next tour with him. He didn't yet plan to tell Dave or Claire, he figure he would tell them when they all came home.

He didn't want to leave Tyler's side when he didn't have his powers, but he had no choice. He left his family with Tyler, figuring that he would be back within a day.

Everyone was outside swimming in the river next to Tyler's house except Brittany. She just sat on a chair at the end of the dock, munching on some food . Tyler occasionally jumped off the dock, doing a cannon ball making big waves, and occasionally hitting Brittany with water.

"Watch the cannon balls" she yelled at Tyler as he surfaced, the mood swings taking effect. All the chipmunks giggled as Tyler turned around, "Oh come on" said Tyler as he chuckled, "a little water never hurt anyone".

Before she could say anything, a country song filled the air. Brittany looked at the table beside her and saw it was Tyler's phone ringing. "What does the caller ID say?" said Tyler as he swam up to the dock ladder. Brittany looked at the screen and read the display, "It says Detachment 1 on it" she said as she looked at Tyler.

"What do they want" groaned Tyler as he pulled himself out of the water and grabed his phone. "Hello" he said as he placed the phone next to his ear.

There was a moment of silence as Tyler listened. "Didn't I fill it out before I left John?" he said as he remained still. "Alright, I'll be there in a hour". Tyler then closed his phone just as everyone was getting out of the water. "Who was that?" said Jeanette as she and Simon helped each other dry off.

"That was the RCMP detachment where I work" said Tyler as he began to dry himself off. "Appently, some paper work I did is missing a few of my signatures, now I have to get down there and sign it". Tyler quickly finished drying himself as he looked at everyone.

"I'm going to have to drop you guys off at Sarah's. I don't want to leave you all here by yourself". Everyone nodded as they quickly dried themselves off and went into Tyler's house. Everyone went into their rooms as they all quickly changed and met Tyler down stairs.

He was already ready, wearing a plaid T-shirt and blue jeans. "Is eveyone ready?' said Tyler as he grabed the keys to his truck. "Yeah" said Brittany as the all walked out the door. They all went to Tyler's truck and hopped in. Tyler climbed in and quickly checked some papers he had in the glove compartment. As soon as he was done, he put the keys in the ignition and started the truck..

A half hour later, Tyler pulled into Sarah's farm and parked in the yard. Tyler opened the door for everyone as they all jumped out. Tyler went for the front door and knocked as the chipmunks came up behind. After a moment, the door opened, revealing Sarah standing there, a small tear on her cheek, but with a big smile.

"Are you alright Sarah?" said Tyler noticing the tear. "I'm fine" said Sarah as she quickly wiped it away. "What do you need?" Tyler then turned and looked down at the chipmumks. "I need you to watch over them for a while. I have to take care of some paperwork at my detachment".

"Sure" said Sarah happily, "I'd be happy to". Tyler smiled as he looked down at the chipmunks then at Sarah. "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" he said. "I'm sure Tyler" she said with a big smile. "Alright" he said as he turned around, "I should be back in about a hour".

Tyler then jumped into his truck and drove off. "Sarah" said Theodore as they all entered her house, "Can you tell use more funny stories about Tyler?". "Sure" said Sarah as they moved into her living room. "Lets see, there are so many, I don't know where to start". Everyone giggled as Sarah thought of one.

Tyler pulled into his detachment and got out of his truck. He quickly typed his security code on the door walked through the front door and went to the office. There was one officer there at the desk, going over some paper work. "Hey John" said Tyler as he walked over to his mail box, grabbing the paper work, "Having fun?" he said with a chuckle.

"Sure" groaned the officer, "How's vacation?" he said looked up from his work. "It was going good until I got a call saying some paper work needed my signature". "Price you pay for being second in command of the detachment. Is it the paper work on the drunk driving accident on Picton".

"Yeah" said Tyler as he quickly scanned the papers. Tyler then reached for a pen and quickly scribbled his signature. He then quickly looked it all over, making sure there were no errors and placed it back in his mail box. "I'll see you later John" said Tyler as he went back for the doors.

"Wait for sec Tyler" said John as he reached a sheet of folded paper next to his computer. "All RCMP detachment in Canada got this wanted photo. Appently, some genacidal mad man escaped a UN prison with several others and high jacked several vehicles. They shot past a border patrol and are now somewhere in Canada".

He then handed the folded poster to Tyler, but he didn't bother to look at it. "Thanks John, I'll see you later". John gave a nod as he went back to his paper work. Tyler walked out the building and got into his truck, placing the poster on his paasanger seat.

After about 5 minutes of driving, a small gust of wind went though the truck by the slightly open windows. The gust caused the paper to open up, with face of who was on it facing Tyler. Tyler quickly looked down at the poster and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

He quickly pulled to the side of the road and slowly raised the photo up to his face. He felt his blood run cold at the face he saw. There, right on the poster, was the mug shot of Jordan, with the same evil in his eyes that he had over a year ago when Tyler last saw him.

It didn't take long for Tyler to figure out what Jordan was doing as reached for his phone, and began to dial. He listen for moment, then heard Alvin's answering machine come on. "Damn it" he growled. "Alvin, if you get this message, get to me as quick as you can, Jordan escaped". Tyler then hung up and dial another number.

Meanwhile, back at Sarah's, everyone was laughing from all the funny stories Sarah was telling. Everyone was just catching their breath as Sarah's cell phone began to ring. Sarah looked at the ID and smiled. "Tyler must have known we were talking about him" she smiled as she pressed the speaker phone. "Hey Tyler, we were just talking about you".

"Sarah, listen to me, you have to find some place to hide right now". Sarah looked up at the chipmunks as they all gave confused looks to each other. "Why" said Sarah, "are we playing hide and seek for when you get back". "Sarah, Jordan escaped".

Everyone instantly froze as soon as they heard that name. "How could he escape a prison when he doesn't have his powers?" said Sarah as she stared at her phone. "Jordan may not have his powers, but he still has the skills he learned from his powers, as do I".

Everyone remained silent until Tyler continued. "Sarah, listen, you are the mostly likely person Jordan is going for. He doesn't know where my parensts live, and he will think I still am a Prime, that just leaves you. You have to find someplace to hide now, because he and his accomplices are armed to the teeth. I called for back up, but the nearest cruiser is almost a half hour away".

Fear ran though everybody, not knowing what was going to happen.

"Sarah, take everyone and find a place to hide. I'm coming, I won't let them hurt you, I won't let them hurt any of you". "Ty" said Sarah as tears ran down her face, "I have to tell you I-", "Damn it Sarah, hide, now. We will talk later, go now".

Sarah instantly hung up her phone and reached for the chipmunks. "Everyone get on" she said. All the chipmunks instantly climbed onto Sarah as she quickly ran out her house and to the barn. "Where are we hiding" said Simon as Sarah neared the barn.

"There is a hidden cellar in the barn, we should be safe in there for a while". Just before Sarah entered the barn, she looked to her lane way going to the road and saw a cloud of dust slowly rising, indicating someone was coming.

Sarah ran inside and moved to a dark corner of the barn. There sat a old metal tub with rope handles sitting on a layer of hay. Sarah grabed the handles and lifted, the tub pulled away from the floor, with the hay and a wooden hatch attached on the bottom.

Sarah instanlty climbed down the small ladder as the chipmunks jumped off. Sarah pulled the hatch over the opening and climbed to the bottom. The small cellar was only big enough to hold maybe four people, with one very small window looking towards the house.

Everyone went right up to it and looked out, seeing three trucks pull in with turrets mounted on the roof. They all held their breaths as they saw men carrying rifles jump out the back of the trucks and several other men climbing out the cab, with Jordan in the middle, the same glare of evil on his face.

He then raised his hands as he pointed in mutiple directions. "Go, find the girl, find her".
