Chapter 11
Come on Fight!
Paramedic: Come on fight! He shocks Dave again and this time it works. The Paramedic breathes a sigh of relief.
Paramedic: Drive faster! I'm not sure he will last much longer!
Ambulance Driver: Ok hang on!
A little bit later the Ambulance pulls into the hospital.
Paramedic: I had to use the defibrillator on him twice.
ER Staff: Ok we will take it from here!
Back at home:
The Chipmunks clear the table, wash the dishes and put them away. Simon looks at the time.
Simon: Dave should have called by now.
Alvin: Well Dave did say he would call us tonight but he never said what time.
Simon: Your right Alvin. You are the master of finding the weak point in what someone says.
All 3 of them start laughing.
Theodore: To bad it gets him in trouble more than anything else!
Alvin: Hey I resent that!
Simon and Theodore are laughing hysterically.
Alvin: Well I guess it's kinda funny.
Alvin: Why don't you two go shower and change into your PJ's. I will get you if Dave calls.
Simon: Works for me. How about you Theodore?
Theodore: Sounds good to me. I am looking forward to taking a nice cold shower after being in a hot kitchen all day.
Theodore goes to the downstairs bathroom and Simon goes to the upstairs bathroom.
Alvin begins talking to himself.
Alvin: Simon is right to worry Dave should have made it to the hotel by now. Perhaps there was a traffic jam and he got stuck in it. But still, he should have made it by now. I know I will call the hotel he is staying at! Alvin gets the phone and calls the number Dave left.
Receptionist: Hello Evergreen Resort how can I help you?
Alvin: Yes, I need to speak with David Seville he is supposed to be staying there.
Receptionist: One moment, please.
Receptionist: I'm sorry but he has not checked in yet. Perhaps he is stuck in the big traffic jam on route 77 we have a lot of people who are late checking in due to this.
Alvin: Do you know what caused the traffic jam?
Receptionist: I'm sorry but I don't know. I just heard about it a few minutes ago. If you would like to leave a message, I will make sure he gets it when he checks in.
Alvin: Tell him Alvin called and that everything is alright. I just wanted to make sure you got there safe. Love Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.
Receptionist: I will let him know. Have a nice evening Alvin.
Alvin: Thanks you too.
Alvin hangs up the phone as Simon and Theodore come out of the bathroom.
Simon: Was that Dave?
Alvin: No I called the hotel and they said he has not checked in yet.
Simon: Well that's strange.
Theodore: Now I am worried.
Alvin: Take it easy guys the Receptionist had an explanation. Apparently, there is some big traffic jam on the road that Dave is taking. She said a lot of their guests have not made it in yet.
Simon and Theodore looked relieved.
Simon: I wonder how long it will be?
Alvin: Hard to say. Why don't you two go to bed. If Dave calls, I will make sure to wake you up. There is no point in all 3 of us losing sleep because of a stupid traffic jam.
Theodore: I am kinda tired.
Simon: So am I.
Alvin: Ok then off to bed you two.
Back at the hospital:
Surgeon: What do we have?
Nurse: He was involved in a head-on crash with a Simi. He has been unconscious and had to be shocked twice in the field.
Surgeon: Ok get him in OR #2 now and page Cardio and Neuro!
Nurse: Yes, sir!
Dave is now in OR #2
Surgeon: This is bad he is going to bleed out soon if I can't locate the source of the bleeding! Suction!
Nurse: Suction!
The Head of Cardio and Neuro now enter the OR.
Cardio: What do you need?
Surgeon: He had to be shocked twice before he got here. He needs to have his heart checked but that can't happen till I get this bleeding under control!
Cardio: Nurse let me switch with you I will assist till we get the bleeding under control.
Nurse: Ok Doctor.
Neuro: Let me guess you want me here to check for brain activity?
Surgeon: Yes, and see if he is paralyzed. He was pinned in his car.
Neuro: On it!
Cardo: There! There is the source of the bleeding!
Surgeon: You want to sew it up or do you want me to?
Cardio: I will do it. You look for any other damage.
Surgeon: Ok thanks.
Surgeon: Looks like one of his kidneys is damaged but not too bad.
Nurse: He is starting to have trouble breathing!
Surgeon: His right lung has partially collapsed!
Neuro: I will insert a breathing tube.
Surgeon: Ok thanks.
Neuro: Tube in!
Nurse: Breathing is improving.
Surgeon: Excellent.
Neuro: Good news he does have brain activity. But I can't tell if he is paralyzed until he is stable.
Surgeon: Ok that's fine. I mostly needed to know about his brain. I did not want to fight a losing battle.
Neuro: Yes, I understand. Once he is stable I will do a full workup on him.
Surgeon: Is the family here?
Nurse: There weren't when we came into surgery.
Surgeon: Does he have ID?
Nurse: I will have to check his clothes.
Neuro: I will stand in while you go check.
Nurse: Thank you, doctor.
The nurse goes and looks for Dave's ID.
Nurse: Here it is. David Seville. Hmm, he is not from around here. I bet his family doesn't even know.
The Nurse returns to the OR.
Surgeon: Find anything?
Nurse Yes his name is David Seville. He is not from around here so I bet the family doesn't even know.
Surgeon: Wait did you say, David Seville!?
Nurse: Yes, doctor. Why?
Surgeon David Seville Is the father of the Chipmunks!
Nurse: Your right I knew that name sounded familiar!
Surgeon: Have the police get in touch with the Seville family immediately.
Nurse: Yes, Doctor.
The Nurse goes to the front desk and calls the police.
Nurse: Hello Police. This is The Oakton Hospital we need to get word to the Seville family in San Benito that David Seville is here and in critical condition. He may not make it.
Police: Ok we will take it from here. We will have the Police over in San Benito go to the Seville House and let them know.
Nurse: Thank You. She says as she hangs up the phone. I just hope they can get here quick. She says thinking to herself.
Author's Note: As always let me know what you think!
