It had been months now since Bishop and Johnson had last seen the turtles, and Johnson wanted to see what he had created in full term, but tracking the turtles down was no easy feat.
They both set about having their commandoes to start searching the city at night, since that was usually when the reptiles came out to patrol and protect the city. They both wanted Leonardo back the most, but had no objection if they captured all the turtles this time. They were going to get information and some genetic information too if it was the last thing they ever did.
…..
It was the summer months and the turtles were enjoying being able to go out in the cool air at night. It got incredibly warm in the lair in the daytime.
The guys were having their first summer being new fathers and uncles. Hannah and Brian were taken care of so well that they were thriving, even in the damp, dank sewers. They all hoped they would be able to bring them up as well as their own father had brought them up.
The twins were 5 months old now and April's daughter was only 2 months old.
Leo still greatly worried about the twins. More so because he knew the government wanted them so badly for their experiments. He was determined to make sure that never happened to them.
Donny and Mikey were also great dads. Don would help out as long as he didn't have projects to work on in the lair. Mikey was good at keeping the kids entertained.
Raph still kept a bit of distance from the kids, but would help out with what he could so long as he wasn't in a foul mood.
Master Splinter loved being a new grandfather, but still left child care to his sons most of the time, with the exception of when they were out of the lair. One or two of his sons would usually stay behind and babysit when there were patrols to do at night.
Tonight's patrol found Leo, Don, and Mikey out with Raph ordered to babysit. He had been against it, but he knew he had to make the contribution. He had to be involved. But he wasn't so inexperienced now and knew how to feed and change diapers when needed by this time. But unlike Mikey, Raph wasn't much of a giggly babysitter. He took the job seriously though.
The trio of brothers had come out into the far south side of Brooklyn. Their lair was now in this part of the city since they had had to move earlier in the spring. The area was close to their home and they had heard about some robberies in the area on the news. They were determined to stop the thieves.
But before they could even catch sight of any robberies in progress, all of a sudden, a light found them on the rooftops, coming from a helicopter.
"You there! Drop your weapons or we will open fire!"
All of them had lifted an arm to protect their eyes.
"This isn't good. What do we do, Leo?" Don asked.
"We need to get out of here." Leo said and he took the lead, running. Don and Mikey followed.
The helicopter started firing.
They all tried to avoid being shot, but Mikey was on the end and a shot caught him in the back of his left leg, causing him to cry out as he fell to the ground.
Leo and Don heard him and came back for him. They wouldn't leave him behind.
"Mikey! Are you alright?" Don asked.
Mikey was still down. He pulled his hand away from his leg, and it was covered in blood.
"No. Get out of here, guys." Mikey said.
"We aren't leaving you." Leo said.
"As I said before, Terrapins! Drop your weapons or more of you are going to get hurt. What's it going to be?" The voice from the chopper demanded.
The turtles looked at each other. They knew they weren't going to be able move quickly, but Mikey was helped to his feet by Don.
"You take Mikey and run the other way. I'll distract them. Get Mikey to the lair!" Leo ordered and took off to the north.
"Hey!" The chopper voice yelled.
Don and Mikey took off in the other direction. It hurt for Mikey to run, but he had no other choice at the moment.
The chopper went after Leo. But another one popped up, obviously called in for reinforcements. It took off after the other two turtles.
Leo didn't like the look of this. He had to get away and get to the sewers. Tonight, stopping robbers wasn't worth it.
The chopper fired upon him and hit him in the left arm. Leo winced but didn't stop. The wound began to seep blood. He held his arm, trying to stem the bleeding.
But then, something else hit his right shoulder. It was a dart.
Leo knew he wouldn't get far if it was a tranquilizer dart. He pulled it out anyway on the run. He managed to get to another roof before he got dizzy and had to stop. He hoped his brothers got away.
He got to the edge and took a hold of it, trying to stay upright. The chopper hovered, but some commandoes lowered themselves to the roof. Leo's mask tails were flying in the wind. He fell to the ground on his stomach, trying to fight unconsciousness.
"You, blue one, are wanted most of all." A man said as he approached the drowsy turtle.
It was the last thing Leo heard before he blacked out.
When he was finally out, the commandoes got Leo onto a table and tied him to it with leather straps. He was then lifted into the chopper. The men climbed back in afterwards.
After the turtle was secured, the leader on board called up Johnson. "Boss, good news. We have the turtle you wanted most. He was with two other brothers, but they took off in the other direction."
"Get them too! Make sure of that." Johnson said angrily.
"The other one is on them. One was hurt so they won't get far."
"Don't hurt them too badly. I'll worry about them when they get here. But good work on getting the leader." Johnson said.
"Thank you, Sir."
The chopper began to return to their headquarters with Leonardo.
