Raph walked threw the abandoned warehouses...he new it was pointless...this place was deserted ...nothing in here but the swallows making their nests in the rafters...leo used to like it down here by the docks...he used to sit and stare out at the horizon...sometimes he'd bring a sketch pad with him ...he wasent a very good artist but he still liked to draw...Raph looked up at the sky showing threw the crumbling rafters...leo...you Realy are gone aren't you...

The shell cell on his belt suddenly whistled ,signaling the time...with all the tension in the lair lately he had better listen to donny...all they needed was to start worring about him too...reluctantly he turned to go...

"No ...r-ra-...raph...s-stay..."

Raph froze ...that voice!? He slowly looked over his shoulder at the old crates and rubbish stacked around ...there was nothing..."get a grip Raph...ya can't start losin it now..."he said to himself ...he'd imagined the voice...there was no other explanation ...after a few moments of standing there waiting and listening Raph started to walk back out of the warehouse ...and that's when he notised something lying over by an overturned dumpster...from here it didn't look like anything...just a lump of garbage ...yet for some reason he kept staring at it..."this is stupid."he growled ...its almost dawn and your out here listinin to voices and rummaging threw junk...your Realy goin off the deep end man...despite his better judgement Raph started towards the thing in the shadows...it was smooth and round whatever it was ,like a-...like a shell...

Raph walked faster ...his mind was playin tricks on him cause now those things lying behind it looked like legs...

He started to run...that WAS a shell..."oh God!"Raph couldn't breath ,couldn't think...with a cry he threw himself down alongside the figure sprawled out on the cement...

Raph reached out...his hands shook...

"Leo..."
