Chapter 39: The Time is Now Part II
Ian was put between a rock and a hard place as the one and only person he didn't want to find out so quickly, not only found out, but was standing in front of him, questioning him before Ian himself could even find out any answers himself.
"But, how did you find out so quickly?" Ian asked him in shock.
Dave then just turned around to look at two officers who brought him to where he was.
"Uh, when your son has disappeared in the middle of Los Angeles, you tend to find out pretty quick." He answered pointing to the men behind him. Just then he noticed the piece of paper that Ian was partially hiding behind him, which raised Dave's suspesion even more.
"What's that in your hand?" Dave pointed to it as he questioned again.
Ian quickly looked down that the letter that Theodore wrote, completely forgetting he had it.
"Oh this? It's uh..." Ian began as he quickly tucked it behind, but Dave was quick to snatch it from him. "No." Ian cried out as Dave look over the letter.
Dave could tell right away it was Theodore's hand writing, everything all the way down to the all capitalized "E"s. He read, scanned over once, twice, in complete shock at what he was reading.
"When did you find this?" Dave looked to Ian holding it up as he voice was getting a bit edgier.
"Well uh..." Ian's voice broke up as he just tried to collect himself from the trouble he was in.
"Did you find this before or after I called?" Dave desperately wanted answers.
"Uh...before." Ian was reluctant to answer until he finally responded. It all made sense to Dave now. That was why there was no answer at the time, though he never imagined at the time just how serious it was. "Dave, it's complicated. But I'll explain everything."
Dave looked sternly. "This had better be good..."

After a drive that seemed like it lasted forever, the taxi parked on the side of the road out in the wilderness as darkness was begining to come over the sky. The driver unlocked the doored instintively to allow his passenger to exit.
"Alright little one. This is as far as I can take you." The driver said as he had reach the limit of the juresdiction.
"Thank you sir." Theodore humblely thanked as he tried to open the door, but to no avail, which the taxi driver quickly noticed by the little one's grunting.
"Here, I'll open the window for you." He said as the back window began to lower down to allow Theodore to hop on and soon jump out of into the area around him. Theodore looked around for any place to go as he slowly began to walk away. The driver rather than leaving, decided to speak up. "Uh...little one." He called out which got Theodore's attention. "Will you be alright out here?"
"Umm. I'm a chipmunk." He responded as he gestured to himself.
"Right. But isn't your family looking for you?" The driver responded attempting to change the meaning of his question.
Theodore stopped his thoughts and soon had a blank look on his face. A thousand different emotions began running through his small mind. He had so very hoped that his family would be looking for him, but he also knew they were performing too; how would they even know he was gone? And even if they did know, after everything he had said and done to hurt their feelings in every way, why would they even care if he had run off? They were such harsh thoughts for a young chipmunk to think, but his innocent mind couldn't help but to think them. He just slightly shoke his head at the thought of the question aksed and just looked back up.
"I don't know. Thank you again." And with that. Theodore slowly turned around and began to hop away from the area.
"Be safe out there." The driver called out again, unsure if his passenger had even heard him. He raised the window back up and began to think again. "Theodore Seville, why does that name sound so familair?" The puzzled man thought as he soon turned on the radio, and what was on was a breaking devoloping story that was being reported, in mid sentence that made him stop all his thoughts.
"...and the search continues for young Theodore Seville who reportedly went missing about an hour ago. The son of songwriter Dave Seville and member of the famed Alvin and the Chipmunks several months ago began a much anticipated solo career following his first solo hit song, with long time agent Ian Hawke, who had in eariler years had a falling out with the young stars. There is no word on the reasoning for the disappearence, but if anyone has any infomation, please contact Ian Hawke or the L.A. Police Department."
The driver quickly turned off the radio and jumped out of the car and ran out to look for the young one, but it was too late. Theodore had disappeared...again. Without thought, the driver ran back into his cab and pulled out his cell phone and began frantically dailing and held the phone to his ear slightly out of breath. An female operator answered. He responded back.
"Hello operator. I need L.A.P.D., I need to contact someone...I've seen Theodore Seville."

"But where's Dave?" Brittany asked their head usher. They were all pacing around wondering where he was. It was never like Dave to not be around to lead them out.
"Yeah. We've never gone on without him being here." Alvin them wondering as well, extremely worried as the others were nervous also.
"I'm sorry, but you need to head out. I'll try to find him though, don't worry. Good Luck." With that, the usher trotted off to look for Dave, unaware that he was nowhere in the arena.
The others looked down at the platform that would raise them up to the stage area as Alvin looked to each side of him and looked to his brother, as well as his friends.
"Well, you all ready?" He asked them as he extended his arms.
Brittany grabbed his right hand, "We're ready." Eleanor then grabbed Brittany's hand which she looked over and then they smiled to each other. Simon grabbed Alvin around his shoulder and nodded as Jeanette held Simon by his other hand which made them blush.
And then they all stepped onto the platform together, and the platform began to raise up. As the platform began to rise, the kids could see more and more of the stage and all the colors on stage. And then they could hear the announcer of the arena as the music started to play.
"And now ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. The Chipmunks and The Chipettes!" As the crowd cheered loudly as they emerged onto the stage opening.
Alvin: Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you
Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new
Alvin & Brittany: Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
A & B: It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Simon, Jeanette, & Eleanor: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can I see you again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can we do this again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh
A: I gotta know, (Know) B: When can I see you again?
(When can I see you again?)
Brittany: Joined at the hip, yeah your sidekick needs you
Life is a trip down the road that leads you
Alvin & Brittany: Look all around at all the mountains you haven't climbed
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
A & B: It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Simon, Jeanette, & Eleanor: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can I see you again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can we do this again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh

(The munks starts to dance side by side and start to do a shuffle dance on the next verse)
Brittany: Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
Alvin: It's just a matter of time. A & B: Before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
So let me know before I wave goodbye
A & B: When can I see you again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can we do this again?
S, J, E: Oh oh oh oh
A & B: When can we do this again?

Alvin: B-B-But before I go and hit the road
Tell me when
A & B: When can I see you again?
A: When can I see you again?
B: When?
A: When can I see you again?
The crowd erupts as the Chipmunks and Chipettes bow at the end of the first song, but Alvin looks over off stage, still seeing no sign of Dave.
"Dave...where are you?" He thought quietly to himself.
So there's Chapter 39. The concert has started and Dave is gone, and the kids have no idea about Theodore. Will they find out? And if so, when? We'll find out together! Until next time, thanks for reading! :)
