After finally pushing his moped back to work. The man parked it outside and headed in. He was of course cautious. He knew that being late to work would not work out very well for him, Especially with his boss. He thought to himself that maybe if he was quiet and acted like he was there the whole time then they would not notice. That all changed once he heard a familiar and particularly nagging voice.
"Delivery boy!" The man cringed when he heard the loud yell. He turned around to see his boss. A short middle aged chinese woman who looked more angry than usual.
"Oh hi Mrs Chu, You know i have been waiting for you to give me a delivery for a little bit now, Since i got here as soon as my break ended"
"Dont bull shit me delivery boy, I know you were late again" Mrs Chu said as she walked to pick up some bowles.
"You know I have a name, It's Garret in case you forgot"
"I don't care about your name, I only care about you doing your job, And you have moped to get back here"
Garrett then tensed up a bit "Well the thing is"
Mrs. Chu then looked at him curiously "The thing is what….Do i need to buy new moped!" She said picking up a butcher knife.
"Woah Woah Woah it's okay, It's just a popped tire, No bigey" Garrett said in attempt to calm her down.
"Bùyào gàosu wǒ lěngjìng xiàlái wǒ bùdé búmǎi yīgè xīn de tāi de lúntāi" The monam said angrily at Garret.
"You know i don't know chinese right?" Garrett said confused at what she had just blurted out at him.
"How did blow tire?" She said as she crossed her arms
Garrett now had a decision. Tell her the truth or a lie about what really happened. He chose the truth.
"Okay so this girl got mad at me because i wouldn't give her a soda. So after i drank it and rode a way she threw a shuriken at the tire and popped it, prompting me to fight her back. We fought in this alley until i landed a huge hit on her her, And then i took a smoke bomb to the face and she disappeared, leaving me with the moped and flat tire" After all the explanation it only seemed to make her more angry.
"First you pop tire and now you lie to me!" She said backing him up into a wall.
"It's not a lie, in fact look" Garrett then pulled out the shuriken from his jacket and showed her
"See i was telling the truth"
Mrs. Chu was surprised to see that he actually had it. She looked at it and it didn't seem like a replica or a fake "Hmmm maybe you did tell truth" she said as she handed the shuriken back.
"See i told you" Garrett said as he put the shuriken back in his jacket.
"But you still owe me money for new tire" she said as she walked back into the kitchen
"What!, but this isn't even my fault, the crazy bitch did it because of a soda" Garrett said with a confused and annoyed look.
"Then maybe you should have just gave it to her" She said turning around with an eyebrow raised
Garrett rubbed his face in frustration "i can't believe this" Garrett then as about to walk out of the restaurant until he heard Mrs. Chu's voice again.
"Where do you think your going?" ashe said going over to him.
"What?, I'm going up to the loft" Garret said as he continued to walk but before he could move anymore Mrs. Chu grabbed his arm.
"Oh no your not, you still have deliveries to make, Moped or no moped"
"What!?, How am i supposed to get around without a car or moped?"
Mrs. Chu then pointed to the corner in the restaurant where a bicycle rested.
"You have got to be kidding me?" Garrett said with a slumped look.
"No, You use bike to make deliveries" She said moving the bike in front of him.
"It's gonna take me forever to pedal around this whole area" He said as he fiddled with the brake.
"Okay, then i guess i can just fire you and kick you out of loft, Bye now" She said as she walked back into the restaurant.
"Wait Wait okay fine i'll do it" Garrett said defeated
"That's what i thought now here get pedaling" She then handed him the bag's of food with addresses on it. Garrett then grabbed the bag's and grumbled his way to the bike. But before he left Mrs. Chu ran up to him and gave him 50 dollars "Get new tire while you out, And i expect change" She said pointing a finger in his face.
"Yeah yeah i got it" Garret then hopped on the bike and peddled away
Karai had managed to make it back to Shredder's hideout as fast as she could, but it wasn't easy. She could feel her ribs almost creek with every movement. The pain was almost unbearable but she tried to get through it. She was hoping to get in and not be confronted by shredder but that went out the window quick.
"What took you so long" Shredder said as he appeared behind her.
Karai took a deep breath before turning around "I'm sorry father, It won't happen again" Karai said as she bowed, wincincing a tiny bit at the pain.
"It better not, Now tell me, what happened and i want the truth" Shredder said as walked around her and stared her down.
"I got into a fight but nothing major happened, I handled it and it's done" Karai said crossing her arms
"Turtles?"
"No"
"Police?"
"No"
"Then what? Because it obviously put up a good enough fight to last longer than a minute"
"A man"
"What kind of man?" Shredder said curious
"Just a man" Karai said looking back at him.
"Well he was obviously more than just some civilian if he prolonged your return. Did you sustain any injury against him"
"No father nothing major" Karai said staring directly at shredder, hoping that the lie worked.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, He was skilled but did not cause any injuries that should affect my combat"
Shredder then looked at her, a couple scrapes and marks of dirt but nothing serious from what he could ee "And what of this man, Dead or Alive?"
Karai then took a heavy breath "Alive, But i did put a tracker on him, I will find him and handle him personally"
"Why is this man so important that you must track him down?" Shredder questioned.
"Because nobody makes a challenge with me and get away with it"
"That serious i see, Well what could one less threat hurt, Do what you must i suppose, But don't die trying" Shredder said as he turned around and started to walk off.
"I don't intend to" Karai said with a angry look" She then pulled out her communicator to look and see where the tracker would lead her., But she knew that she couldn't leave immediately, she decided to wait till the next day to handle it. Thinking that she would heal after a shower and nights rest. Karai then headed out to her quarters and began to ponder what she would do once she would confront the man again.
