A/N: Well, I FINALLY got a new reviewer. That's good. But they're review is... okay... but I don't know if they were flaming me... but I don't know.

Thanks Northgalus2002, DiceRox09, 7Jamie7in3the3rain7373, and ug for reviewing. I really appreciate it! I feel so proud to say that four people reviewed. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was forcing you, ug (your review sounded like it), but thanks for reviewing.

You guys just made my day! My parents were fighting earlier (they never EVER do, they get along just great) and it made me mad. But when I saw your reviews, I felt so much better!

I know that you guys don't want me to kill Theodore. He won't die, I promise! Because ug reviewed, Pablo won't come back.

Disclaimer: The chipmunks aren't mine, Andrew's mine, people you don't recognize are mine, and I now own four reviewers! HOORAY!

Chapter 10

"There." Simon said, putting the note on the fridge.

Dear Dave,

Alvin and I are going to set out to find Theodore. We should be back home soon.

Your son,

Simon

It was short, but he didn't have to write ten pages on it. All he had to say was what he was doing and when he'd be back. So he did!

"Can you show me how to work this thing before I break it?" Alvin had no clue how to work the Theodore Finder. Simon didn't tell him how, and he was very worried that he would break it.

"You turn it on, with the switch, and put it in your pocket. Then you wait. Simple." Simon said, doing what he said to his.

Alvin did just that, but remembered something. "I forgot to brush my teeth!" He shouted, running in circles.

"That was quite random." Simon said. "We don't need to brush our teeth."

Alvin sighed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then. I guess we don't have to." He walked to the front door. "Come on, let's go!"

When Theodore woke up, he saw that it was morning, and Andrew was watching TV as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. He wanted to get up, but he felt very tired.

He looked down at his shirt and saw that it was very bloodstained. That was not a pretty sight.

Then he went into a coughing fit, and not too long after that Andrew's full attention was to him.

"You're awake, finally. I was beginning to worry that you might have died." Andrew felt relieved.

Theodore was very confused. He was worried that he might have died?

"Why were you worried?" Theodore asked.

"Because if you were, then I wouldn't have anyone to do anything for me. As you can see, I'm very lazy." Andrew began to watch the TV again, completely ignoring him.

"Oh, and I made another list for you, so you better get started on it. I'm heading to my friend Terry's house, so I'll be back soon." Andrew handed Theodore a list, and went to his cousin's house.

Theodore, remembering the frightening events of last night, remembered that Terry was the cousin Andrew was screaming about. What if he was going to hurt Terry?

Not wanting to think about it too much, he looked down at his list. It had two things on it.

I bet you can guess what one of them was!

If you guessed that he to wash one of the dogs, you got it right! If you thought it was that he had to fly on flying monkeys to Japan, I don't know what's wrong with you.

He had to wash Newspaper Getter, the one dog that bit him, and the other thing he had to do was check the mousetraps. That seemed pretty easy, washing the dogs wasn't hard, and checking mousetraps, that's not hard. Andrew even written on the back of the list where each mousetrap was located.

He decided to check the mousetraps first. There were four mousetraps, one in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and Andrew's bedroom closet.

There were no mice in any of them, so Theodore assumed that was good.

Then he had to go on to the task that he feared: washing up Newspaper Getter.

First, he had to find where the dog was. Theodore found him in the refrigerator doing who knows what.

Second, he had to get the dog in the tub. It took him ten whole minutes.

Third… if you don't know what he had to do after that… then I assume that maybe you're the same person who thought he had to fly on flying monkeys to Japan. HE HAD TO TURN THE WATER ON AND WASH THE DOG.

After that, he had to dry him. Drying Newspaper Getter wasn't too easy, since Newspaper Getter never seemed to stop wiggling. He managed to do it though, and then he was finished with all his chores and could do what he wished.

He decided to watch TV, the news, and after that play with Door Closer.

On the news, they didn't talk about him at all. He was wondering if everyone forgot about him. Was he a forgotten child? No, he couldn't be! He was too cute to forget, right?

All the news reporters talked about were politics. They got in fights and whatnot, having to be pulled apart by the others. This Theodore found entertaining yet annoying.

Door Closer would follow Theodore around wherever he went, and Theodore felt like he had a friend even though he was some person's slave.

Door Closer and he played fetch, inside of course. Theodore wanted badly to go outside because the house smelled bad, and he hadn't been outside in days. Andrew said that if he went outside he would be found, and then taken home. Andrew of course knew where he did live, and even if Andrew were taken to jail, he would still get to him somehow.

Alvin felt like he had been walking for hours. He had never been that tired.

"How long have we been walking, Simon?" He asked. "It's morning!"

"Three hours, and we're not getting anywhere because you want us to keep circling the house." Simon rolled his eyes. "I don't think that Theodore's near the house if we haven't picked up any signals and we've circled the house a million times."

"You never know!" Alvin said.

"How about we go search somewhere else, huh?" Simon suggested. "If Andrew was smart he'd know better than to keep Theodore near the house. Still, we're not even sure it was him. It could've easily been someone else."

"I think it was him. Who else would have a sick enough mind to take him away from us?" Alvin asked.

"Probably lots of people." Simon then counted lots of different people, but he didn't seem to notice that he kept saying 'Michael Jackson' over and over again.

"Okay, so you're saying that Michael Jackson could've taken him?" Alvin inquired.

"Why, even Dave could've taken him!" Simon said. "And Theodore could be in the basement the whole time."

"Are you being sarcastic?" Alvin questioned.

"Yeah, you'd think you'd figure it out by now." Simon rolled his eyes. "The Theodore Finder picks up signals from two miles away, so I'm pretty sure that he's nowhere near here."

"That's convenient, it'll never tell you where he is but only that he's two miles away from where you are." Alvin said sarcastically.

"Did I say two miles? Silly me, I meant two meters." Simon said.

"So he's not two meters from here." Alvin pointed out the obvious. "That's nice to know."

Andrew got back from Terry's house that night, covered in blood.

Theodore didn't have to think twice to find out that Andrew had done something bad.

"What'd you do?" Theodore asked, looking like he wanted to run.

Andrew smiled. "We went to Wendy's and had a ketchup fight." He replied. "Excuse me while I go take a shower." He walked to the bathroom, intentionally running over Theodore on his way there.

"Oh, a ketchup fight." Theodore whispered to himself. He was relieved. Andrew hadn't killed anybody.

He sat up, wincing because Andrew had walked on him. Andrew weighed a lot, and Theodore was surprised he didn't break his back.

Andrew was in the shower, and Door Closer licked Theodore's face. "Eww, don't do that!" Theodore said and giggled.

Just then the phone rang. Theodore let the answering machine get it, because he wasn't allowed to answer the phone unless it was Andrew.

It was the police.

"Hello, we are calling to say that you are needed down at the police station for a lie detector test. We need a test from you. Please come down as soon as you can. Thanks, and have a nice day." They said, and hung up.

"A lie detector test?" Theodore and Door Closer seemed to exchange worried glances. "I wonder what he's done now!"

Theodore wondered if it was about him. It was a lie detector test, so hopefully if it was about him then they would catch the lies and save Theodore from the mean Andrew person.

A/N: OH NOEZ! Andrew has to take a lie detector test! Wait, why I am I worried? I should be cheering! But just why does he have to take one?

I don't know if I'm going to kill Alvin or Simon. Probably not. But Andrew... maybe. DEATH SETENCE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
