Part 16. A Father's Blessing and an Uncle's Secret...

6:00 P.M. Niagara Falls.

It was a beautiful day as a group of 4 Chipmunks known as : The Happy Chipmunks, were on stage.

They were singing selections for: The king of Pop Tribute!.

Their performance was a cover of: Thriller!

Done with robotic, dancing, zombies.

Suddenly... One of the zombies went out of control.

It walked into a row of prop tombstones.

Each of the props weighed 30 lbs. and started to fall.. Like a stack of dominoes; into the direction of the group...

The Happy Chipmunks looked for a way out of the crushing nightmare.

They ran up to the highest part of the stage hoping for salvation. It did not come..

The audience screamed... as one of the falling tombstones sent a Grim Reaper statue; crashing down on the little group.

8:30 P.M. Canada.

A concert premier of the Canadian singing chipmunk sensations known as: "The Chippers"; is about to begin.

Their lady manager now heads to their trailer; to get them ready.

She finished handling papers with the concert promoters and was eager to get back to them.

As she arrived .. She noticed the forced trailer door... She felt her heart beating wildly, as she quickly opened the door.

A medium-sized figure darted out on four legs.

It growled at her and ran off.

In a panic she went inside, to a sight which made her scream with anguish..

The figure was a bobcat, and it had just eaten The Chippers.

11:30 A.M. The following day...

A series of buses are leaving Gentle Hills Cemetery.

In one of the buses are The Chipmunks and Chipettes.

They sat side by side,their eyes closed.

Each resting with their loved ones.

All remembering Aunt Jackie.

Dave walked up to them and said," Kids.. What you sang today for Aunt Jackie was Beautiful..

Which of you wrote.. Beautiful Memories..?"

"We all contributed to the song..", said Alvin in a humble voice.

Simon then said," Dave.. May we ask something of you?"

Dave sat down across from them and said," Sure.. What is it?"

He then looked at their faces.

Each looking at him; ... with a glimmer of hope.

Then in unison..

The boys said," Dave.. May we have your blessing to marry the Chipettes?..."

Dave was a bit taken back by this request.

First there was the feeling of passing grief for the loss in the family.

Then this sudden joyful news..; from the boys, he called his sons.

Dave wiped a tear which was rolling down his cheek.

Then he said," Yes my boys.. You have my blessing. You have earned it."

Dave found himself swarmed with loving hugs from the boys.

While the Chipettes were hugging and kissing his face.

Each of the girls saying," I love you Dave.."

At the front of the bus...

Adam Roscoe Seville sat by the driver.

He was being briefed, about a sudden rash of deaths... Among talking chipmunk and squirrel groups.

Being a semi-retired member of: O.S. I. (Office of Scientific Investigations)

and having The Chipmunks as part of his extended Family; made him the best suited government agent.

His laptop received a notification.

He entered his encrypt code.

The seal of: The President of The United States was on the screen.

Then a familiar face appeared.

Uncle Adam smiled and said," Well Barry.. I've read the files.

These so-called,( Freak accidents!) Are deliberate.

Someone is trying to wipe out the talking rodent populous.

They would have gotten my nephew's boys; if I did not stop them."

The familiar face then said," Roscoe.. Will you need any, "additional", help?"

Uncle Adam smiled and said" Not at this time Barry.

You have enough problems with this sick, sad, world.

You can't turn your back on friends or foes.

This one's on me. They threaten my family. It's personal business."


Assassins beware! Uncle Adam has come out of the shadows...
