Hello guys! It has been ages...Life went and caught up to me, the passed right by, and maybe lapped me a few times. At least I'm still in the race right? Thank you so much for your reviews and your patience!

Please enjoy this update! I'm sorry for such a long long wait for it, but thank you for reading!


He was waiting for them here. They had to be right this time.

Mikey couldn't deal with the thoughts that raced through his head if he ever stopped thinking that this time they would find him...

What if they were too late? What if it had been too long? That couldn't happen. Not with his brothers. Donny was a regular Sherlock Holmes; he was checking every lead, every source for every bit of intel he could pull. Leo too, was searching relentlessly throughout the city. When Raph had gone missing, they hadn't stopped for a moment looking for their lost brother and in the meantime, Mikey could either go crazy with worry or assure himself that everything would be fine.

They would find Raphael.

Mikey was brought back to the present when the man in front of him let out a yell of frustration from being disarmed. He smirked, waiting, and the man lunged at him. Mikey knocked him to the floor with a well placed strike on the side of his skull with a nunchuck. Looking up quickly, he saw Leo finishing off his own opponent. The elder brother locked eyes with Mike questioning him silently. Mikey gave him a quick thumbs up, a signal that he could handle the last four guards. Leo nodded, and went to help their purple-banded brother who was busy hijacking the computer systems.

Mikey whirled around, situating himself between his brothers and the guards. He grinned dangerously at them. "Who's first fellas?"

He was already in the air when the first of them raised his gun. Shurikens already pulled from his belt, he launched them at the thugs. Two hit true, ruining the trigger hands of the men closest to him. The third spinning blade glanced off the third man's wrist, leaving its mark, but only serving to distract him for a moment. Mikey landed directly in front of the fourth assailant, putting him out of commision with a quick punch to the side of the head. The third guard was recovering, and spun around to face Mikey, gun raised, but the turtle had already crouched down, swiping his legs out from under him. The thug's gun went off as he hit the floor, drawing a yell of pain from the orange-banded turtle as the bullet whizzed by, grazing his shoulder on the way.

"Mikey?" Leo called.

"I'm ok!" he answered. He grabbed the man's gun just above the trigger and shoved it back into the guy's face. There was a sickening crunch and the man was out cold. He made quick work of the last two. They had not had enough time to recover enough to even figure out where Mikey had gone before they were unconscious as well.

"Donny, have you found him?" Mikey heard Leo say. He stepped closer to them, keeping an eye on the door leading to the rest of the building. An alarm had not sounded yet, but he would be ready if it did.

Donny hesitantly answered Leo. "I-I think so," he squinted at the screen, worry etched into his face.

"I need you to be sure bro," Leo said a little harshly. He leaned in behind Don hoping to find any clue to their brother's whereabouts.

Donatello let out a shaky sigh as he leaned his weight into his hands on the desk and looked down. "If he's here this time," he said sorrowfully. "I know where he'll be. But if not..." He glanced up at Leo, who was standing up straight again.

"He's here," he said, and they all prayed it was true. Don unplugged his own handheld device from the computer, all the information he needed already downloaded. Leo moved down next to Mikey. He glimpsed his little brother's shoulder that had dripped enough blood it had run down his arm, falling to the floor from his elbow.

"It's fine Leo," Mikey said when the older turtle opened his mouth. "Just barely nicked me. We don't need to waste any time."

The corner of of Leo's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but smile a little at Mikey's determination. "Donny, got a bandage in that bag of yours?" Instantly, Don tossed a small roll of gauze over. Mike rolled his eyes at the pointed look Leo gave him, and lifted his arm to be wrapped.

"Don't forget to take care of yourself too bro," Leo muttered as he quickly tied off the strip. "What would Raph think if we were all bloodied up when we got to him?"

"We were supposed to make an impression?" Mikey said with a hollow laugh. "'Cause I forgot my suit and tie."

Leo patted Mikey's injured shoulder and flashed him a knowing smile. "Let's go get our brother," he said as Donny appeared next to them, ready to go.

Michaelangelo readied himself next to Don and Leo. Nothing on the other side of that door mattered but Raph. This would be the last time they went out searching, because they would all be going home, all four of them.


Ugh, I know, it's a short part...But don't worry! The next chapter is ready! Let me know what you thought of this one. :)
