Author's Note: I have a long weekend thanks to the upcoming holiday so I will upload at least one or two more Chapter's over the weekend. :)

Chapter 13

Rushing to Dave

Mitch comes out of the cockpit.

Mitch: Alvin… Alvin…. Hey, Alvin are you alright?

Alvin: Oh did you say something, Mitch? He says in a monotone voice.

Mitch: I just came to tell you we are getting ready to land. We should be on the ground in 15 minutes.

Alvin: Oh ok thanks, Mitch.

Mitch nodes his head and goes back into the cockpit.

After 15 Minutes, the plane is on the ground. Simon and Theodore get up, grab their bags, and head over to Alvin.

Simon: Alvin we are here.

Alvin: Oh we're here already? Alvin gets his bag and the 3 chipmunks get off the plane together.

A car pulls up.

Theodore: Who is that?

Simon: I don't know.

Then a man steps out of the car and goes over to Alvin.

Paul: Are you Alvin?

Alvin: Yes.

Paul: Hey Alvin I'm Paul. Sam called me and told me what happened. I am here to take you to the hospital.

Alvin: Thank You, Paul. These are my brothers Simon and Theodore.

Paul: Pleased to meet you guys. My kid is a big fan.

Simon: Nice to meet you, Paul.

Theodore: Yes, nice to meet you.

Paul: Ok let get you guys to the hospital.

The 3 Chipmunks get into the car and make their way to the hospital.

Paul: Here we are.

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore get out along with Paul.

Paul: Follow me.

The 3 Chipmunks follow Paul upstairs to the Nurses Station.

Nurse: Can I help you?

Paul: Yes, I am Officer Paul. He flashes his badge. This is the Seville Family. Alvin here is the one in charge.

Nurse: I am glad you were able to get here so fast. I am the Nurse assigned to David Seville. My name is Betty.

Alvin: Hi Betty these are my brothers Simon and Theodore.

Betty: Nice to meet you, boys.

Alvin: How is Dave?

Betty: He is doing a little better but not by much. We performed what is called meatball surgery.

Theodore: You used meatballs on Dave!?

Betty Laughs, Simon puts his head in his hands embarrassed by such a question Alvin gives no reaction.

Betty: No dear. Meatball Surgery is very sloppy surgery that is done in a hurry with the primary goal of the patient becoming stable enough to let him rest and heal some before moving on to more in-depth surgeries. Dave is stable but still in critical condition. However, there is some good news. He has brain activity, which is remarkable considering how bad the accident was.

Alvin: Betty can I speak to you alone for a minute?

Betty: Of course Alvin.

Alvin pulls a couple of dollars out of his pocket and hands to Simon.

Alvin: Simon take Theodore and go get something out of the vending machine for you two.

Simon: Alvin is everything ok?

Alvin: Yes, I just need to ask Betty something in private.

Simon: Ok then. Do you want anything?

Alvin: No thanks.

Simon: Ok then come on Theodore.

Simon and Theodore walk off.

Theodore: What do you think Alvin wants to talk to Betty about?

Simon: Not sure but if we need to know Alvin will tell us.

Theodore: Ok if you say so.

Alvin: Betty can Dave see people yet?

Betty: Only family at this time and only for a couple of minutes.

Alvin: I would like to see him before Simon and Theodore get back. If it's bad I'm not sure Simon and Theodore should see him.

Betty: I understand follow me.

Betty takes Alvin to Dave's room.

Betty: Prepare yourself, Alvin.

Alvin: I'm ready.

Betty opens the door. Alvin sees IV's attached to Dave's arms and a tube down his throat. Most of Dave's body is in bandages. He was hardly recognizable. Alvin clinches his fists at the sight.

Alvin: Betty can I be alone for just one minute?

Betty: Yes, but just one. She says as she walks out of the room.

Alvin goes up to Dave's ear.

Alvin: Dave it's me, Alvin. Dave, I am taking care of Simon and Theodore but I am sorry I can't let them see you like this. Please forgive me. He walks away and heads out to the hall where Betty is.

Alvin: Betty unless I say otherwise I don't want my brothers to see Dave like this.

Betty: Ok Alvin we will respect your wishes.

Alvin: Thank you. I need to go find my brothers.

Betty: Ok.
