Hello everyone, it's me again, and here's another chapter of Chipmunk detective, enjoy.
Summary: Alvin has been accused of a crime he didn't commit, now it is up to Simon to prove his brother's innocence.
Another year has past, it was now the year 1993.
It was night time, 23 year old Simon Seville and 22 year old Jeanette Miller were watching the TV.
" I'm so glad I got the weekend off", said Jeanette.
" Me too Jeanette, glad we get to have the whole night to ourselves, and we get to sleep in", said Simon.
The phone then rang.
" I spoke too soon", said Simon, he then answered it.
" Hello...What is it Alvin...Okay...I'll see you when you arrived", Simon then hung up.
" That was Alvin, he's coming in, he sounded upset", said Simon.
" It might be involving Brittany", said Jeanette.
" Whatever it is, it sounded like something that wasn't his fault, which is highly unusual", said Simon.
" Once he come's in, we might find out what's going on, it might not sound like any of our business, but at least we could try and help", said Jeanette.
Half an hour later the door knocked, Jeanette answered it revealing Alvin, he did not look happy.
" Hey Alvin", said Jeanette.
" Hey", said Alvin.
" Now Alvin can you tell me what happened", said Simon.
" Okay, you remember Logan, one of Brittany's ex boyfriends", said Alvin.
" Yeah", said Simon.
" He's returned, and him and Brittany have been seeing each other lately, I knew so, but Brittany told me they were just friends, I was okay with that, and even though I knew I was being a bit jealous, I didn't trust Logan", said Alvin.
" Okay, anything else", said Simon.
" Well tonight was going to be a special night for just me and Brittany, I went out to get some ice, and when I returned there I saw her on the bed with Logan on top of her, they were kissing", said Alvin.
" Oh my god", said Jeanette.
" I can't believe Brittany would do that, what happened then", said Simon.
" I could do was leave, I packed my clothes and left the apartment, I could hear Brittany calling me but I just couldn't look at her, after what she did, I just left away from her", said Alvin.
" I can't believe my sister would do a stupid thing like that", said Jeanette wrapping her arms around Alvin.
" We need to sort this out, it's not like Brittany to something crappy like that, I think, anyway, Jeanette, she's your sister, why don't you talk to her about it, and here her side of the story, and maybe we can come to an agreement", said Simon.
" Wow Simon, why didn't you study to become a psychiatrist or a counselor instead of a detective", said Alvin.
" I don't know, I guess back then I was interested in solving crime more than solving other peoples problems, but since this is about you and Brittany, I might help you two talk it out", said Simon.
" Yeah well until then I don't want to be in the same room as her", said Alvin, he then opened the door to the guest room of the apartment and went in.
" I'm going to call Brittany and tell her to meet me for lunch tomorrow, I'm going to call Eleanor too, I feel like this is a situation I can't do alone", said Jeanette.
Jeanette, Brittany and Eleanor sat down at a table inside a cafe.
It was silent for a few minutes then Jeanette broke the silence.
" I heard about Alvin", said Jeanette.
" So you did", said Brittany.
" He was really upset when he arrived at my apartment, he wouldn't come out of his room", said Jeanette.
" What gave you the idea to cheat on Alvin with Logan", said Eleanor.
" I didn't cheat, what Alvin saw last night was a misunderstanding", said Brittany.
" Oh so he didn't see you on the bed with Logan on top of you", said Jeanette.
"Exactly, Logan was on top of me, he was the one who came onto me", said Brittany.
" Explain everything", said Jeanette.
" I knew Logan was still into me, and last night he entered my apartment, I did let him in, but I thought he changed, but he didn't he's still the same douche bag he always was, he started asking me to take him back, I told him I wouldn't because I already have a boyfriend, Alvin, I tried to tell him to leave, but then he threw me on the bed, came on top of me, and started kissing me, then Alvin came in, and saw everything and ran off, after Alvin left I used my strength to get Logan off of me, and I threatened to call the cops if he didn't leave, now thanks to him, Alvin hates me", said Brittany.
" Are you sure he came onto you", said Jeanette.
" Of course I'm sure, why would I be lying, do I look like a liar to you, don't answer that, because what you're going to say is the opposite of the truth", said Brittany.
" I was actually going to say you don't look like a liar, but as you said it's the opposite of the truth, okay then", said Jeanette.
" Look, Alvin is in your's and Simon's apartment, and now that I told you pretty much the truth, can you convince him, I just want my boyfriend back", said Brittany.
" I'll talk to him, if not me then I can get Simon to talk to him, let him hear both sides of the story, once we talk to him, I am sure Alvin will return to you, keep in mind it will take a while", said Jeanette.
" Okay, thanks Jeanette", said Brittany.
After lunch, Jeanette went home and told Simon everything Brittany said, Simon told Alvin afterwards but Alvin still isn't leaving his room, even though he's slowly starting to come round, Simon reminded Alvin that if he doesn't talk to Brittany any time soon, he might not ever see her again.
At 7:30 PM the next day Simon and Jeanette were watching TV in the living room, Alvin then came in wearing his sweater.
" Hey Alvin, want to watch TV with us", said Simon.
" No, it's been a couple of days since I last spoke to Brittany, and I think I should talk to her, sort some things out", said Alvin.
" Hang on Alvin, can't you wait until tomorrow, it's night, you don't want to be out in the city alone at night", said Simon.
" No Simon, I need to talk to her, like you said, if I don't talk to her, I might not ever see her again, besides my apartments just 10 minutes from us, I'll be back in a couple hours", said Alvin, he then left the apartment.
" I guess things can go well, once Alvin and Brittany talk it out, things will go back to normal", said Jeanette.
" But still though, he could have waited until tomorrow", said Simon.
" Well once he gets back lets hope there's good news", said Jeanette.
" Of course there'll be good news, Alvin is the one forgiving her, he's not the bad guy this time, so it is up to Alvin who decides whether or not they get back together, if he was the one who cheated then it would be up to Brittany", said Simon.
15 minutes later the phone once again rang.
" This better not be another case, at this time of night", said Simon, he picked up the phone.
" Hello.. Hey Theodore...What's going on...wait what...Okay we'll be on our way", said Simon.
He hung up on the phone and turned to Jeanette.
" That was Theodore, him and Eleanor are at the hospital, Brittany's been shot", said Simon.
" What", Jeanette gasped.
" We need to get the hospital quickly", said Simon as he picked up his coat, Jeanette picked up her coat to and the two left the apartment.
Simon and Jeanette arrived at the hospital, where they met Theodore and Eleanor, in the waiting room.
" Hey I came as soon as I heard your call, any word on Brittany", said Simon, as Jeanette and Eleanor hugged each other.
" Before you came in, the doctor said she's in a coma, luckily not a serious one, but she won't wake up until about a week or two", said Theodore.
" Who could have done something like this", said Jeanette.
" I bet it was Logan, he became sick of Brittany rejecting him he shot her", said Simon.
" He didn't, he's in another hospital bed too, also in a coma, he's been shot as well, only his injury was more serious than Brittany, he's on life support, him and Brittany were in the same room when the paramedics found them", said Theodore.
" And where the hell is Alvin, I know Brittany cheated on him and all, but not showing up at a hospital when his girlfriend is in a medical situation is just low", said Eleanor.
" Maybe he doesn't know yet", said Jeanette.
" He does", said Theodore.
" How did you know", said Simon.
" He's been arrested for pulling the trigger", said Theodore.
" Alvin wouldn't do anything like that would he", said Jeanette.
" Of course he wouldn't, Brittany may have been unfaithful to him but he wouldn't be that stupid to shoot her, I'm going to talk to the chief", said Simon.
Simon arrived at the station and spoke to the chief.
" Good evening Mr Seville, I suppose you heard you're brother Alvin is arrested", said the Chief.
" Yeah I heard, why would he shoot Brittany and Logan", said Simon.
" Well he does have a huge motive for shooting them, plus I saw him in her apartment", said Chief.
" That could mean anything, he was going to forgive her, not shoot her, I know Alvin more than anybody, more than Theodore, more than Dave more than my own biological mother, and he couldn't have done something like this", said Simon.
" I'm sorry Mr Seville, but your brother is put in custody until further notice", said the chief.
" Can I at least talk to him", said Simon.
" Of course", said the chief, picking up the keys.
Simon entered Alvin's cell.
" Simon", said Alvin, surprised when he saw Simon came in.
" Hey Alvin", said Simon.
" Look Simon, I am sure by now you know why I'm here, but I'm telling you I didn't shoot them", said Alvin.
" The chief said you had a motive for shooting Brittany and Logan", said Simon.
" That doesn't make a difference at all, I was at the apartment when the cops found me, but I came in and saw Brittany and Logan on the floor unconscious with a bit of blood coming out, what the hell was Logan doing in there anyway", said Alvin.
" What were you doing in there", said Simon.
" Because A, it's my apartment, and B, I was going to forgive Brittany, I decided it was time we made amends, even though she messed up, I still love her", said Alvin.
" Look, I now have proof from you that you didn't do it, and proof from the chief that you did, now I am going to believe you, not because you're my brother, but because I could see in your eyes you're telling the truth", said Simon.
Three days later Simon entered Brittany's apartment ready to investigate.
" I need to find some clues to begin my case", said Simon, he spotted what looked like a small punching ball, he approached it, gave the ball a punch, and it swung back onto his nose.
" Ow, son of a, what a great start proving my brothers innocence", he groaned, holding his nose in pain, he shook off the pain and continued investigating.
" If Brittany got shot, and I only see a bullet wound on her, and one on Logan, and uh ha, hello", said Simon, as he spotted something, he put on his gloves, grabbed the object, it was revealed to be a gun, he placed it in a plastic bag, and left the room.
" I found this in the apartment, it looks like the gun that shot Brittany and Logan", said Simon.
He was in the apartment with Jeanette, He was in a room called his workshop lab, at the back of his apartment, it was like a shed.
" How so", said Jeanette.
" Well a witness next door said she heard two gun shots, and let's take a look and see...ah ha, two bullets are missing, so this is the gun that shot your sister", said Simon.
" But did Alvin pull the trigger", said Jeanette.
Simon then dusted the gun to check for fingerprints and found one on the handle.
" Here we are, a fingerprint, and it isn't Alvin, so he is innocent, and I have proof, now, I'm going back to the station", said Simon.
The phone then rang.
Simon answered it.
" Hello...oh hey chief...at the hospital, okay why...Oh my god what...Okay I'll be on my way", Simon then hung up.
" Logan's dead", said Simon.
Simon arrived at the hospital, at Logan's room where the chief is waiting, a doctor was there as well.
" What time did this happen", said Simon.
" Logan's time of death is 8:07 PM", said the doctor.
" What happened", said Simon.
" Somebody turned off the life support, this doesn't look like an accident", said the doctor.
" The one who shot him also did that but it would not have been Alvin, he's stuck in the station, plus I found fingerprints on the gun and it ain't Alvin's", said Simon.
" Okay, I'll let him out ", said the chief, 15 minutes later, they reached the station, only to find the deputy with some news.
" Alvin broke out", said the deputy.
" What, what time", said Simon.
" It was exactly 8, I checked the time the second before Alvin got away", said the deputy.
" Alvin broke out of the cell, so he reach the hospital and finish killing Logan, and he'll soon be after Brittany he's now on the loose, and he needs to be stopped", said the chief.
" What about the fingerprints on the gun", said Simon.
" He could have wiped his own off", said the chief, he turned to the deputy.
" We need back up, Alvin Seville could be anywhere", said the chief.
" Why did Alvin have to break out, just as we got evidence he's innocent, now he's a fugitive", said Jeanette.
" I guess we now know Alvin could be guilty", said Eleanor.
" No, he's still innocent", said Simon.
" What", said Jeanette.
" Let's see, first of all, the fingerprints on the gun, the chief said Alvin wiped his own off to get away with the killing, but if Alvin did do that, then how did the fingerprints I discovered end up on the gun, Secondly, Alvin broke out at exactly 8 PM, it took us 15 minutes to drive from the hospital to the police station, and Logan was pronounced dead at 8:07, if Alvin was going to kill Logan pulling the life support plug, then Logan would be dead a little later, Alvin would not have reached the hospital that fast, even by car", said Simon.
" We'll we have evidence to prove his innocence, but where do you think could he be", said Theodore.
" I don't know, but as the cops are after him, we got to get to Alvin before they do", said Simon.
For the next three days, Simon, Jeanette, Eleanor and Theodore, went through the entire town, and city, to find Alvin.
Simon approached an alley next to Simon's apartment building where he discovered someone, it was Alvin.
" Alvin", said Simon.
" Stay back", said Alvin, pointing a knife at him.
" Relax, Alvin, I'm not going to turn you in", said Simon.
" How can I trust you", said Alvin.
" Because I trust you, I know 100% for sure you didn't kill Logan", said Simon.
" You swear", said Alvin.
" Alvin, I made a promise to bail you out, am I really going to break that promise now, up these stairs is the emergency exit, my flat is six floors up, I'll meet you there and let you in, you can't go in from the front or people will discover you and call the police, also make sure no one sees you from the other windows", said Simon.
Afterwards, Simon opened his window, let Alvin in, and inside the apartment, also shows, Jeanette, Theodore, and Eleanor.
" Theodore", said Alvin wrapping his arms around his little brother.
" Good, now that everyone is here, Alvin, I am afraid that you are going to have to stay here until further notice, I just had the biggest evidence to release you and you break out, what were you thinking", said Simon.
" I don't know, I wasn't thinking straight", said Alvin.
" Of course you weren't, if you just stayed in the cell you would have been released, but instead you break out and you're now a fugitive, to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they put you in solitary confinement", said Simon.
" Simon, please", said Jeanette, not wanting an argument.
" Okay, look, Alvin, I'm sorry for being harsh a few seconds ago, but please, next time you get accused of shooting Brittany and her ex boyfriend, and her ex get the life support turned off, you stay in the cell until we come and get you", said Simon.
" Even though something like that won't happen to me again, I promise I won't run out", said Alvin.
" Okay, now that phase 1 of the case on hiatus, proving Alvin's innocence, let's move on to phase 2, finding the real killer, Alvin was accused of shooting Brittany because she cheated on him right", said Simon.
" Well technically she didn't, Logan came onto her", said Eleanor.
" But Logan must have a girlfriend, he must have cheated on", said Simon.
" Whoever's Logan girlfriend is killed him, and has the nerve to blame it on me", said Alvin.
" Okay Alvin, let's not jump into conclusions yet, we don't know whether or not Logan is single, if not then we still don't know who it is or if she was the one who shot Brittany", said Simon.
" Maybe Brittany knows who did it", said Theodore.
The phone then rang.
Simon then answered it.
" Hello... Oh hey...Yeah...Okay... Oh that's great news...Okay I'll be there in soon", said Simon, he then hung up.
" It was the hospital, Brittany's awake", said Simon.
Eleanor's, Jeanette's and Alvin's eyes widened in delight.
" I thought she wasn't supposed to wake up until another week or two", said Theodore.
" Brittany's injury was the least serious so she was bound to wake up soon, Logan's however, gave him a one month coma", said Simon.
" Let's go see her", said Alvin, ready to leave the door.
" Wait Alvin, your still a fugitive, the hospital wouldn't allow you to be in the same building as her, Theodore has a point about Brittany, she might know who shot her, if we find out who, then the case is finished", said Simon.
" Theodore, Alvin, you two stay here, Jeanette, Eleanor, come with me, I think it's about time you see your sister again", said Simon.
Simon, Jeanette and Eleanor arrived at the hospital, entered Brittany room where they see her awake and well.
" Brittany", said Jeanette in amazement as she wrapped her arms around Brittany.
" Glad to see you too", said Brittany.
" Brittany, now that you're awake, maybe you can tell me everything you remember", said Simon.
" Okay, well first off, two days after Alvin left, Logan came in again, he was asking for forgiveness, I did, but then he tried coming onto me again, and I threatened to call the cops on him, and order a restraining order, then I heard a couple of shots, discovered blood on my shirt, and everything went blank for me", said Brittany.
" Did you see the one who shot you", said Simon.
" Before I blacked out I saw a person, surprisingly she wasn't in any hooded clothing, she was exposed, it was Erica, Logan's girlfriend", said Brittany.
" How did you know who Erica is", said Simon.
" When Logan returned, he introduced her to me, I have been thinking he was just using her to make me jealous", said Brittany.
" Are you 100% sure it was Erica", said Simon.
" Of course I'm sure, she was revealed completely, she probably thought we'd die we can't say anything, you can't be witness when you're dead", said Brittany.
" Then it would be a tragic for Logan, but not for you", said Simon.
" What are you talking about", said Brittany.
" Logan's dead, and I assume Erica turned off the life support, he was in a bigger medical situation than you were", said Simon.
" Oh god", said Brittany, shocked.
" Yep, and not only that, but the chief thinks Alvin killed him, and shot you", said Simon.
" What, why would that be true, what would I do to make Alvin kill m... Hang on don't answer that, I almost forgot", said Brittany.
" In case you didn't, it was because you cheated on Alvin", said Simon.
" Technically, Logan came onto me", said Brittany.
" That was what I said nearly an hour ago", said Eleanor.
" Well it now doesn't matter, you're awake, and also a witness, and that's a really good thing right now because Alvin is a fugitive, and once you show up at the station in front of the chief, and say what you got to say, and Alvin will be off the hook, and I might know for sure you two will get back together I might assume afterwards", said Simon.
" Actually Simon, the doctor said I can't leave the hospital for a couple of days, need some time to heal", said Brittany.
" Well then I'll bring the chief to you then, girls, stay with Brittany and keep a look out, now that we know Erica is the killer, Brittany is the next one to be killed, and we have no idea what she looks like other than Brittany", said Simon.
Simon then left the room
" I need to use the bathroom, I'll be right back", said Eleanor, she then left.
" Hey Jeanette, you mind getting something from the vending machine", said Brittany, handing Jeanette a $5 note.
" What would you like", said Jeanette.
" Just a bottle of water, get something for yourself as well", said Brittany.
" Okay, you sure you can handle yourself for a bit", said Jeanette.
" I'm sure", said Brittany.
" Well, if Erica does come, push the emergency button behind you", said Jeanette, she then left the room.
Brittany rested for a bit, she looked to see someone enter the room.
" Hello Brittany", It was Erica, a red haired girl.
" Erica", said Brittany.
" Didn't think I let you get away with stealing Logan from me", said Erica, she pulled out a gun.
" I didn't want Logan, he came onto me, why did you have to kill him", said Brittany.
" Because I know he was using me just to make you jealous, I wouldn't allow that, if you two want to be together, be my guest, just not in this world", said Erica.
" Oh god you're more insane than Mary", said Brittany.
" Who's Mary", said Erica.
" Another person who tried to kill me last year", said Brittany.
" Too bad she didn't finish the job, now I have the chance", said Erica, she then pointed the gun at Brittany, and was about to pull the trigger when she felt a sharp pain on her neck, she then dropped to the ground, Brittany looked to see Alvin.
" That's for framing me", said Alvin to Erica.
" Alvin", said Brittany.
" Hey Brittany", said Alvin as he wrapped his arms around her.
" I'm so sorry for this, if I didn't see Logan you would not have had to deal with the cops", said Brittany.
" It's okay Brittany, I guess I shouldn't have left", said Alvin.
" What did you inject Erica with", said Brittany.
" An anesthetic, gave her a big dose to get more time for the cops to arrive", said Alvin.
" Are you worried that you might have killed her", said Brittany.
" Relax, I didn't give her that much of a dose", said Alvin.
Just then they heard a shout.
" GET YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR", it was a cop.
" I knew this would happen", said Alvin, he then turned around and raised his hands up to see six cops including the chief.
Simon then came in.
" Alvin, you were supposed to stay put", said Simon.
" And have Erica kill Brittany, I don't think so", said Alvin.
" So this is Erica", said Simon, looking at the unconscious girl on the floor, he then had an idea.
He grabbed his case of ink, and a small sheet of paper, grabbed Erica's hand, covered her finger with ink, and pressed it down on the paper, Simon then looked at the finger print.
" And we have a match, these finger prints match the ones on the gun, Gentlemen, I believe the case is closed", said Simon.
And just like that, Erica has been arrested for the murder of Logan and attempted murder on Brittany, has been served 25 years behind bars.
Alvin was released, been given an apology from the chief and was now on his way home at his own apartment, after sorting everything out, Brittany and Alvin are back together.
We now take place back at Simon's apartment, Simon and Jeanette were watching TV again.
" Hey Jeanette, does Brittany have anymore ex boyfriends", said Simon.
" A lot, however I'm sure most of them would move on, so I don't think we're gonna get into another situation like this for a really long time", said Jeanette.
" What about Eleanor", said Simon.
" Don't worry Simon, nothing like this case is going to happen again, it's not like in the next five seconds another ex would show up", said Jeanette.
The phone then rang.
Simon then answered it.
" Hello...Oh hey Jillian...Glad to see you too...Okay I'll see you later", said Simon, he then hung up, and turned to Jeanette, who looked a little jealous.
" You were saying", said Simon.
