For a while now they had heard that strange whirring sound,but you couldn't quite place where it was coming from...Leo looked over his shoulder so far they had gone unoticed by the foot ,but you could never count on anything in this place...the alley branched off to the right and widened out into a clear road ...they had to get through there ...the only problem was that at least twenty soldiers seated around a stack of were using this as a table ,gambling ,drinking ,rolling dice ...Leo hissed for Raph to be still,both turtles crouched down behind an old dumpster,they would have to wait...once again Raph felt his eyes slide out of focuse ,squeezing them shut he rolled them around and tried to regain controll over them but it didn't work...Leo's shoulder pressed against his and Raph heard his brothers sharp intake of breath...behind the foot soldiers crouched a very young boy ,3 at the most ...at the moment the men were not aware of him,he was trying to grab a hold of a sack full of dried meat...Leo new he would never make it...
And he was right...one of the soldiers saw soldiers saw his small hand and with a shout the man pulled him out into the open by the boys hair ,holding him up for his fellows to see...they laughed and brought out their knives...
Thet were going to kill him...
