Author's Note: Hey Everyone, Some of you may have noticed that Chapter 39 had been published but taken down within just a couple of hours. Well it was brought to my attention that the story felt rushed and that I had made the Doctors a bit cold and way to blunt. The old Chapter 39 was also not realistic at certain points and was lacking on details So after 5 days I have finally finished making changes to this Chapter. I cannot thank Wicket Wysteri enough for their help in re-writing this Chapter! I hope everyone enjoys reading the new updated Chapter 39! This is also the longest Chapter I have ever written! :)

Credit goes to Bluewolfbat for the flashback idea.

Chapter 39

Runaway (Revised)

Dave: Like what? He says in a worried tone.

Dr. Riley: Dr. Keith is a world-renowned surgeon. However, he is very blunt and he can be rude and very cocky. He will tell you how it is.

Dave: Thank you for preparing us, Dr. Riley.

Dr. Riley then nods her head and takes them to the door outside of Alvin's room.

Dr: Riley: Dr. Keith here is….

Dr. Keith: I know who they are Dr. Riley.

Dave: Boy she wasn't kidding about him being rude. He says thinking to himself.

Dr. Keith then shifts his eyes to Theodore then back to Dave

Dave nods his head and pulls out his wallet.

Dave: Theodore would you mind going and getting us some snacks?

Theodore: Dave I'm not stupid, you want to talk about how bad my brother's condition is without me around. He says taking the money and leaving.

Dr. Keith: Mr. Seville Alvin has suffered a severe head injury from a fall out of his bedroom window. I am not going to lie. This type of head injury is very serious. He will have to be watched around the clock for the next 24 hours. At this moment he is stable but that can change in a hurry.

Dave: Will Alvin remember what happened?

Dr. Keith: It is too early to tell. But you should be prepared for the following possibility's. #1 He may or may not remember what happened or who he is. #2 He could become a vegetable for the rest of his life. #3 Some of his motor skills might be affected including his speech. For the time being Alvin is in a comma. He will wake up when he is ready. Now when Alvin does wake up and he gains back some of his strength he will need to undergo lots of physical therapy. The physical therapy will be like a test. It will tell us how much damage has been done.

Dave: Thank you, Dr. Keith. I understand.

Dr. Keith: If you have any questions or concerns just ask the nurses or Dr. Riley. I have another surgery I need to prepare for.

Dave: Thank you.

Dr. Keith then leaves.

Dave: Dr. Riley what do you think I should tell Theodore about Alvin.

Dr. Riley: The truth. You can tell it to him however you want but he needs to know what's going on and what might happen.

Dave: Your right. Thank you, Dr. Riley.

Just then Theodore returns with snacks.

Dr. Riley: Are you two ready to go in?

Dave: I am. How about you Theodore?

Theodore: Yes.

Dr. Riley then takes them into Alvin's room.

Dave and Theodore gasp at how Alvin looks.

Theodore: I understand now why Alvin forbid me and Simon from seeing Dave after his accident. He says thinking to himself.

Alvin has several tubes hooked up to him and various medical machines. His head is wrapped up in bandages along with his left ear.

Dave: Why is his left ear bandaged?

Dr. Riley: Dr. Keith must have forgotten that part. We performed a skin graft to close up the hole in the back of Alvin's head. He will have a little bit of scaring on the back of his head but his hair grows out it should hide it well. However, he will have a noticeable scar on his left ear.

Dave: I see.

Dr. Riley: I will leave you two alone now. I will be out in the hall if you need me.

Dave: Thank you, Dr. Riley.

Dr. Riley then walks out of the room.

Dave: Theodore I am sorry for sending you away earlier.

Theodore: I am not a little kid anymore Dave.

Dave: Your right you're not. You boys did a lot of growing up while I was in the hospital. That is why I am going to tell you about Alvin's condition and what might happen.

Dave sits down in the chair next to Alvin's bed and has Theodore sit in his lap. Dave then proceeds to tell Theodore what Dr. Keith said.

Dave: Do you understand everything, Theodore?

Theodore: Yes, I do. Alvin has a long road to recovery.

Dave: Yes, he does.

Theodore: Dave I hate to ask but um. Can I have some time alone with my brother?

Dave: Of course Theodore! Take as long as you want. I will be outside.

Dave then walks off.

Theodore: Alvin I finally understand why you wouldn't let us see Dave after his accident. Seeing you like this isn't easy. I don't know how you did it. Alvin, I know you want to give up and die but please don't! You are still needed here in this world! I need you and Dave needs you! But most of all Simon needs you! So once again Alvin I beg you! FIGHT! Theodore then lays his head down on Alvin's bed and starts bawling.

Theodore then grabs Alvin's hand.

Theodore: Alvin if for some reason you don't make it…. Just know that I forgive you and I will love you no matter what happens!

Theodore then gets up and walks out to the hall and sees Dave and Sam talking. He walks over to them.

Theodore: Dave you can be with Alvin now.

Dave: Thank you, Theodore. Do you think you can answer some questions for Sam while I visit Alvin?

Theodore: I can try.

Dave smiles and goes to Alvin's room.

Sam: Theodore I know that Alvin didn't fall out the window. Dave told me that you said he jumped out the window.

Theodore: Well I may have said that in the heat of the moment but I meant fell.

Sam: Theodore…. He says raising an eyebrow.

Theodore: What? Haven't you ever misspoken in an emergency?

Sam: Theodore we have been friends for years. I know Alvin means a lot to you and I know you are protecting him. You and I both know he jumped so please tell me why Theodore.

Theodore: I keep telling you he didn't jump! He fell! Why won't anyone believe me!?

Sam: Theodore we can get Alvin help but we have to know why he jumped.

Theodore: STOP IT! JUST STOP IT! Alvin didn't jump!

Theodore then runs down the hall.

Sam: Theodore! Come back!

Theodore then leaves the hospital and runs all the way home.

Theodore: I have to find Simon! He is the only one who can fix this!

Theodore starts packing a bag to run away. He soon has a bag packed and is ready to leave. He then starts downstairs and looks at the photos lining the walls of him and his brothers.

Theodore: I will find Simon! Then we can be a family again!

As Theodore heads out the door, the wind picks up and something in the yard catches his eye. He walks over to see what it is.

Theodore: Oh, it's the parachute. The last time this was played with is when we were all still together.

Theodore's Flashback:

Alvin: I love you guys!
Simon and Theodore: We love you too Alvin!

Theodore then reaches down grabs the parachute and sets off to try and find Simon.

Back at the hospital:

Sam: Dave I really hate to tell you this but…..

Dave: What is it, Sam?

Sam: Theodore ran away.

Dave: What! No that can't be true!

Sam: I'm afraid it's my fault, Dave. I kept pushing Theodore to tell me what happened.

Dave: No it's not your fault. But I have to go find him.

Sam: No Dave you need to stay here for two reasons. #1 Theodore may come back here. #2 Right now it's best if you are here at Alvin's side. The officers that are searching for Alvin are looking for Theodore as well. I am also going out to assist in the search.

Dave: Your right Sam. Thank you.

Back to Simon:

Scarlet: Simon I have some good news.

Simon: What someone told you about a new form of torture? He says sarcastically

Scarlet laugh's

Scarlet: No I have come to remove that fork and let you watch a little TV. She says smiling

Scarlet then remove's the fork.

Simon: Why do you want me to watch TV? He says raising an eyebrow.

Scarlet: Well it's been a while since you have heard anything about the outside world and since it concerns you…

Simon: So it's about my kidnapping big deal.

Scarlet: Oh no it's not about you Simon. I said it concerns you. She says smirking.

Just then Robert brings in a TV and Scarlet turns it on.

"News Reporter: By now most of you are aware that Simon Seville has gone missing. But I have exclusive footage that shows his brother Alvin running from police and being arrested.

The TV then starts playing the footage of Alvin running, being tased, and arrested.

News Reporter: I would say that Alvin is the number 1 suspect in Simon's disappearance.

News Reporter 2: I would have to agree with that. Alvin has always enjoyed being in the spotlight. With his brother out of the way, all eyes are on him and he only has to share the light with his younger brother Theodore but Alvin may already have a plan to dispose of him as well."

Simon: What is this!? You faked all of that! He says enraged.

Scarlet: You have no reason to believe us but this is real and so is this. She says smiling.

Reporter: We have received word that Alvin Seville has been rushed to the hospital and is undergoing emergency surgery. As soon as we have more info we will update you.

Scarlet then turns off the TV.

Simon: What happened to Alvin!? He says enraged.

Scarlet: I don't know. But I also have some info on your other brother. She says smirking.

Simon: What's happened to Theodore!? He says in a worried tone.

Scarlet: He has run away according to the police scanners.

Scarlet then starts out slowly chuckling then bursts out into a full evil laugh.

Simon: Why are you laughing like that!? He says enraged.

Scarlet: I think I will send out my men to find your brother and bring him here! Just think of the possibilities! I could torture each of you right in front of each other! Now wouldn't that be nice!

Simon: NO! DON'T YOU DARE! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ME TORTURE ME, KILL ME WHATEVER JUST LEAVE THEODORE OUT OF IT!

Scarlet: Whatever I want? Tell you what I will think on that. But for now, I will leave you alone with your thought's. Mental torture is your punishment for today. She says walking away laughing.

Scarlet: Benjamin have you heard anything more on Theodore?

Benjamin: No the police are still searching for him.

Scarlet: Excellent! I want you to go find him and bring him to me!

Benjamin: What!? But you just told Simon….

Scarlet: I can already do whatever I want to him. It's not like he gets any say in how we torture him. But if I have his brother... She then breaks out into another evil laugh.
