The group waited restlessly in the dojo, their eyes locked on the cracked sliding panel that led to Splinter's room. April came out first, wiping her hands on a surprisingly clean towel.
"How's she doing?" Leo voiced the question first. April sighed.
"We stopped the bleeding, but she's got a long way to go," she tilted her head. "What happened to her?"
"We don't know," Mikey said. "She came out of nowhere."
She sat next to them, tucking her feet beneath her.
"Why didn't you take her to the hospital?"
"There wasn't time," Donnie cut in. "Besides, what would've happened if they saw giant, talking turtles bring her in?"
She smiled slightly, remembering most people would probably panic. She glanced back toward the door, her grip tightening unconsciously on the towel.
"You think he'll let her stay?"
"He has to," said Leo. "He can't send her back out there like this."
"What if whoever attacked her comes back?"
"We didn't see anybody following her," Raph spoke up. Mikey shook his head.
