Mikey's POV

Aw! Why does my head hurt? Oh yea, I remember: the tunnel fell down on me!
I sighed and tried to sit up. Once I tried, I realised there was something on my back. When I looked around, I saw a piece of concrete holding me down. Man! Why does this always happen to me! I tried to get it off, but it didn't work out. Why isn't Raph here to pull it off? Or Donnie to think of a way to get this off of me? Or even Leo… just to comfort me. I'm panicking!...

I tried to stay calm. If there was something I had learned for the past 15 years, it was that you always should try to stay calm and never panic. Although I was having some trouble with that at the moment.

Suddenly I realised I could call my brothers to get here! But when I tried to get to my T-phone, I couldn't reach it. It was in my belt pressed under the concrete. I sighed again. I don't think this can get any worse…

Back at the lair

'Guys, stay calm!' Raph said 'We know Mikey! Why are you so concerned?'
Don and Leo stopped pacing and looked at Raph: 'Because we know Mikey!'
Raph thought for a moment and then started panicking to.
Mikey was good at two things: pranks and getting into trouble.
'Where could he have gone?' Leo wondered.
Donnie thought for a moment: 'He said he went skateboarding. But that could be anywhere! The sewers go through the entire city of New York!' Raph sighed: 'Where do we start?'

There was nothing but silence for a moment, everyone lost in their own thoughts.
Then, Donnie spoke up: 'Has any of us actually thought of just calling him?' Leo and Raph looked at Donnie with big eyes and then hit themselves on the head. 'No, we haven't' Leo admitted 'wow, we must really be freaking out if we didn't even think of something that simple!'
'I bet he will pick up and just say that he forgot about the time' Raph said.

Donnie tried to call him, but the phone kept ringing 'you should be glad that you didn't bet for money… He isn't answering'
'But he always answers!' Raph said 'even in the middle of a fight, I have seen him picking up his phone and just chatting with April about the weather!' 'I know', Don said 'So this… is bad'

Mikey's POV

I heard my phone ringing, but couldn't reach it. That must be my brothers. How long since I left the lair? Must be some time if they start worrying about me. The phone stopped ringing. Great… Once I'm home, I'm going to get the lecture of my life from Leo…
After these thoughts, I went back to figuring out how I should get out of this.

It was really dark, so I could barely even see the concrete. Probably, the light that was fastened in the ceiling must have fell down as well. Wish I wasn't so afraid of the dark…

I can handle the dark. Dark as in 'I'm in my bed and I just turned off the light'-dark. This wasn't just that kind of dark, this was the 'It's so freakin' dark I can't even see my own hands if I hold them in front of my face'-dark.

Then I got an idea: I tried to get on my knees instead of just flat on my legs. I have never been so happy that something as simple as that worked out. Then I put all the strength I had in my entire body under it and tried to push the concrete up. After a couple times of trying, it worked!

The concrete fell off of my back and I fell on my knees. I never thought concrete was that heavy! It took some time for me to regain my breath. Then I took my T-phone while praying that it still worked. Once I touched the screen, the little light popped on. My heart made a little jump of joy!

First, I used the light to have a good look at where I was. There were pieces of concrete everywhere on the ground. But then I became desperate. When I looked at the entrance of the tunnel, I saw there was debris blocking my way. I was trapped!

I hoped that I could reach my brothers. I first tried Donnie's number, because he had called me himself, I had seen. I was so happy that I heard his phone ringing. 'MIKEY!' Don yelled through the phone 'WHERE ARE YOU!?' I couldn't help but laugh a little. 'It's nice to know I'm missed' I answered teasingly. 'Stop it, Mike!' I heard Raph saying 'This better not be another prank!'

I sighed again 'Not everything I do is a prank, Raph' 'Then where the shell are you?!'
'I'm trapped in a tunnel that only I know that exists, because I was too proud of it to tell you guys. I was making some loops when the ceiling fell down. Some concrete fell on me and I was stuck for a little while. But now I'm free! But there is debris blocking the entrance, so I can't get out!' One he heard himself say it, he realised how stupid his explanation sounded. Clearly his brothers heard it to.

'Mikey, stop it! We were really worried about you!' Leo said a little angry 'And I don't think it's acceptable if you play pranks on us like this!' 'Yeah', Raph agreed 'How stupid do you think we are? And don't even think about answering that question!'

Mikey could feel the despair rising in his chest. His brothers didn't believe him… He wasn't going to be rescued… When the line went dead, Mikey could feel the tears stinging in his eyes.
Wait, Donnie didn't say a thing.
Maybe he believes me!
Maybe he will track down my phone and get me out!

Please Donnie, for once in your life, believe me!
Please…

After that, I just started crying. While silently sobbing, there was only one thought in my mind: 'Someone get me out of the dark…'
