Chapter 2: Receiving the News

Theodore was speechless. He couldn't move or say a word after witnessing what had happened to his brother. Sadly, Theodore had no choice. He wanted to see if Simon was okay. Slowly and carefully, Theodore walked over to where the pole that was over on the corner of the sidewalk outside of the library. With his head prepped up against the pole, almost as if it were a pillow, lay Simon. His eyes were closed, and Theodore didn't see any injuries as far as he could see. All he knew was that Simon was hurt.

"Simon? Simon, can you hear me?" Theodore asked hoping his brother would respond somehow. Simon didn't move. Not even a twitch or a finger movement. The police and ambulance arrived a minute later, while Theodore just looked at Simon with tears running down his furry face. Simon had saved him! He threw himself in front of Theodore to make sure he didn't get hurt. Even though Theodore greatly appreciated Simon's act of bravery, all he wanted right now was to know that Simon was going to be okay.

Meanwhile, Dave was getting ready to leave so he could go pick up Simon and Theodore. He was worried about them. Dave knew the library closed at ten o'clock pm, but he hadn't gotten a text or call from either one of his sons since then. Just as Dave was getting his coat on however, the phone in the kitchen rang. Dave went over and answered it, hoping it was either Simon or Theodore.

"Hello?" Dave asked upon putting the phone to his ear. At first he didn't hear anything but what sounded like someone crying, then sirens, and finally, a voice he had been hoping to hear. It was Theodore.

"Dave!" Theodore said in a half shouting, half upset voice. It was hard for Theodore not to cry considering Simon was hurt. Theodore cried some more before continuing to say: "Dave, its Theodore. You have to come to the hospital. S-Simon's hurt!"

Dave got concerned when he heard that and asked: "Theodore, what are you talking about?" Theodore kept crying before saying: "We tried to cross the road so we could get reach you with our cell phones. I tripped on a stone while crossing, and a car was heading towards me. The next thing I knew, Simon pushed me out of the way so I wouldn't get hurt. But Simon got hit by the car! I'm scared Dave!"

Dave couldn't believe what he was hearing. He took a deep breath, and then said: "We'll meet you at the hospital, Theodore. We'll get there as soon as we can!" Dave hung up and ran into the living room where Alvin and the Chipettes were watching TV.

"Everyone, get in the car! We're going to the hospital!" Dave shouted.
