Authors Note: Hey Everyone! I had planned on publishing the Chapter last week but then I got sick and didn't finish it in time. In this Chapter I have incorporated in an idea provide by SpyroDragonTime but Wicket Wystri Warrick also help me work it into the story. The idea will also continue into the next Chapter as well. I also took the idea one step further. ;)

Chapter 41

A Turn For The Worst

Benjamin: Are you alright kid?

Theodore: Yeah I just had a bad dream that's all.

Benjamin: Well what are you doing out here anyway? He says as he sits down next to Theodore.

Theodore: It's a long story.

Benjamin: Well I have the time. He says lightly chuckling.

Theodore: Well I have two brothers. One is in the hospital and the other was kidnapped.

Benjamin: Your name must be Theodore then. He says acting dumb.

Theodore: How did you know!?

Benjamin: It's been all over the news.

Theodore: Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

Benjamin: Theodore what happen to Alvin?

Theodore: Well he um….. Theodore then trails off.

Theodore: I really don't think I should talk to a stranger about this.

Benjamin: I understand Theodore. He then holds out his hand. My name is Benjamin.

Theodore then shakes his hand.

Benjamin: Theodore I think it would do you good to talk about it. You can't hold in your emotions forever.

Theodore sighs and knows that Benjamin is right.

Theodore: You sound like my brother Alvin. He says cracking a light smile. Ok, I will talk. Alvin has been under a lot of stress lately. He was taking care of us while our dad was in the hospital. He had never been left in charge of us before. He thought he had to protect us from everything. And it really took a toll on him. He was just starting to get over that when Simon was kidnapped. Then something happened and he…. he….

Benjamin: He tried to kill himself after he saw the news report that said he was responsible for Alvin's kidnapping didn't he?

Theodore just nods his head.

Benjamin: Theodore if Alvin is in the hospital why are you not at his side?

Theodore: The only person who can help Alvin right now is Simon. I just have to find him! He says starting to tear up.

Back to Alvin and Dave:

Alvin lays in his hospital bed still unconscious and Dave is still holding Alvin's had and sleeping.

But all of a sudden Dave is awakened by loud beeping and whooping.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! WHOOP! WHOOP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Dave: What's going on!?

Nurse: Sir stand back!

Dave backs away.

Dave: What's wrong with Alvin!? He asks with a look of fear on his face.

Nurse: He heart has stopped for some reason. His doctor is on his way up. CLEAR!

The nurse then shocks Alvin with the defibrillator.

Nurse: No response!

Dave: ALVIN! FIGHT! PLEASE FIGHT! He says as he drops to his knees.

Alvin: What's going on? Where am I? It's so dark and cold here.

All of a sudden, a light appears lighting up a tunnel.

Alvin then starts walking down the tunnel.

Alvin: Is this? My life I am seeing?

All of the Memory's Alvin has had with his brothers in his life are appearing right in front of him.

Alvin: IT IS MY LIFE! This is when Me, Simon, and Theodore were still babies. We sure were cute. Well, I guess we still are cute. He says smiling. Oh and I remember this memory! It was our 1st day of school! It was also my first time being in trouble at school! He says laughing so hard he starts crying. When I got home I had to go to bed without dinner but Simon and Theodore snuck some of their dinners upstairs to me. I really do have great brothers.

More memories continue appearing before Alvin.

Back to Simon:

Simon: P..L….E…ASE H…..E…..LP ME! He says struggling to breathe.

Scarlet and Robert continue to watch Simon fight to breathe. But they are unaware that Simon is having a bad reaction to the drug.

Scarlet: Just look at that money roll in! We should have done this sooner.

But all of a sudden Simon's eyes get big, his lips start quivering and he stops struggling. Simon's body then goes limp.

Scarlet: He passed out again!?

Robert: Scarlet he might be dead!

Scarlet: WHAT!?

Robert and Scarlet race out to Simon.

Robert puts his fingers on Simon's neck.

Robert: NO PULSE!

Scarlet: Undo the chains and I will start CPR. You go and get that special torture device.

Robert: Good idea!

Scarlet begins CPR on Simon.

Simon is now walking in a tunnel towards a bright light.

Simon: So, this is that bright light that people talk about. I wonder what's on the other side.

Simon then walks into the light.

Simon: Its memories from my life! I guess Scarlet really must have killed me. Now I will never see my brothers again. He says with tears in his eyes.

Just then a happy memory appears before him.

Simon: Hey this is a memory of us when we were little! This is when all 3 of us would ride our tricycle's all over the yard. Alvin always wanted to race. He knew he could peddle faster and would always win. Typical Alvin. He hasn't changed at all over the years. He says smiling and shaking his head.

The memory then changes.

Simon: I remember this! We were in the backyard playing soccer when I kicked the ball too far and it broke the window. Dave was not happy. When he asked who broke the window Alvin fessed up to it to protect me. Alvin lost his allowance for a whole month to pay for what I did. Yet I never asked him why he did it or paid him back.

Back to Alvin's Memory's

Alvin: Oh this is one of my favorite memory's! This is when we camped out in the backyard. Theodore started a fire and cooked s'mores while I set up the tent and then Simon read us ghost stories. That was such a fun night! But poor Theodore. He got scared of every little noise and Me and Simon had to sleep right next to him to help him feel safe.

Then more recent memories are shown.

Alvin: This is us playing around in the hotel that night Theodore tried to scare us! Oh and there we are planning the concert together. And there we are on stage performing together! Wait a minute. Why is every memory I have of me and my brothers? I have had a lot of other great memories and moments in my life.

Back to Simon's Memory's

Simon: Here is a great memory! This is when I won the science fair! But I almost didn't. I had forgotten to get a new battery for my volcano and I couldn't get the old one to work. Alvin was there and rushed to the store to get a new one and Theodore worked on keeping the judges busy with cookies. He says laughing. Alvin made it back just in time. But when I set it off the fake lava blew all over one of the judges. Theodore and I were in shock and Alvin was rolling on the floor laughing. I was mortified but I still won. I still can't believe it. He says smiling.

More recent memories are now shown for Simon.

Simon: Hey this is when Alvin and I were trying to sneak up on Theodore in the kitchen. And this is when we went swimming and Theodore and I trapped Alvin with that parachute! He says laughing so hard he starts to cry.

All of a sudden the memories appearing in front of Alvin and Simon start fading out. Everything goes dark.

Back at the hospital.

Dr. Keith: What's the status nurse?

Nurse: Multiple shocks with the defibrillator with no response.

Dr. Keith: Push one of epi and charge to 400.

Nurse: Yes, Sir! Pushing one of epi. Charging. 100, 200, 300, 400 CLEAR! No response!

Dr. Keith: Shock him again.

Back to Simon.

Robert: Here is what you asked for.

Scarlet: Well don't just stand there plug it in!

Robert goes and plugs in a power cord.

Robert: I have never restarted someone's heart with a power cord with one end chopped off before.

Scarlet: Well there's really no wrong way so just stick the two exposed ends to his chest and release now hurry!

Robert then shocks Simon. Simon's body jumps but he is still not awake.

Scarlet: Don't stop keep doing it!

Robert continues to shock Simon hoping that he will come back to life.

Back to Theodore and Benjamin.

Benjamin wraps his arm around Theodore to comfort him.

Benjamin: Don't be sad Theodore. You will find Simon.

Theodore: But how!? I have only gotten this far by throwing Simon's pen in the air and going where it points.

Benjamin: Simon's pen?

Theodore then pulls out Simon's pen.

Theodore: I found this around the area where the police believe Simon was kidnapped.

Benjamin: I see. Well, Theodore, that pen did its job.

Theodore: What do you mean?

All of a sudden they here police sirens approving. Benjamin then gets a worried look on his face.
