"I have three kings! Is that good?"

"Mikey, you have no idea how to play go fish, do you?" said Leo with a sigh, giving his younger brother an exasperated look.

"Well, I ain't complaining," said Raph, "Mikey – you got any kings?"

"Don't be mean, Raph," April scolded, "You can't take advantage of his lack of knowledge."

"Why not?" Leo asked, actually sounding perplexed.

"Because… because it's unfair!" April exclaimed. She glanced over to where Splinter was standing, a few feet away. "Back me up here please master Splinter!"

"April is right. It is unfair to take advantage of Michelangelo's lack of experience." Leo and Raaph bowed their heads and Splinter's words, feeling guilty. "And that is exactly why you should do it. Deal me a hand April."

"What?" April spluttered as Splinter came over, giving no sign that he was joking.

"In battle, a good warrior takes advantage of his enemy's weaknesses."

"This isn't battle, it's a card game!" protested April.

"True. But it's more fun this way."

"All right!" yelled Raph triumphantly.

"You're the best, Master Splinter," said Leo.

"I… have no idea what's going on…" Mikey said, sounding very confused. April decided that she had had enough of this. Passing her cards to Master Splinter, she went to go and see what Donnie was doing… and then realised she hadn't seen him all evening.

"Hey guys… where's Donnie?"

"No idea," said Raph, "Probably locked himself up in him lab or something."

"Hey that's right; I haven't seen him since this morning. He said he was going to set up surveillance cameras in the sewers as extra security – but that was hours ago. I wonder where he could have got to…" Leo trailed off and looked at April a little sheepishly, "I hadn't really noticed he was missing."

"Well maybe I'll go look for him."

"Aww, April's all worried about her boyfriend," Mikey teased, "Raph, have you got any threes?"

"Dammit! I swear, you must be the luckiest guy alive! I thought you didn't know how to play this game?" Raph grumbled as he gave over his cards.

"I guess I'm just a natural." Mikey smirked. Raph growled in response but didn't say anything. Just then, Donnie came rushing into the lair carrying his laptop in one arm. He was out of breath and looked like he'd been running.

"Guys!" he exclaimed frantically and April was immediately on edge. The others didn't even look up from their game.

"We were just talking about you, Don. Where'd you get to?" Leo asked calmly.

"Never mind that, we have a serious problem!"

"What is it this time, Bucketbrain, one of you toy cameras break?" Raph said with a yawn.

"One of my cameras' picked up a group of men in the East sewer. I think there looking for us!" Donnie exclaimed. He rushed forward and shoved his laptop in Leo's face.

"Woah, slow down Donnie," Leo said, Donnie had everyone's attention now. Raph reached over and took the laptop to see what Don was talking about "How do you know there not just… tourists, or something?"

"Tourists? In the sewer? Since when is that likely?"

"Guys, I think Donnie's got a point," Raph was staring at the computer's screen in disbelief.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Leo sharply. Raph looked up with wide eyes and turned the laptop round so everybody could see the screen.

"It's the Shredder," he said.
