Chapter three- Turtle to the rescue & play scare prank on Casey Jones
Raph enjoyed his ride and thought maybe that his best mate Casey may want to go city patrolling to work off excess energy. Raph was just to turned off the engine when he heard thudding and crashing in a dead end alley.
Raph pressed the engine silencer on as he turned the motor off and went to investigate the disturbance. Leaning against the wall and peeked around the wall's edge to see who was or may be in trouble.
The first human he saw was a purple dragon possie mugging a college med student. Raph grit his teeth as he watched and searched for something he could use to knock out the punk so the victim could scurry away before anymore of those punks came.
"Give me all your money or there will be coincidences for paying the toll." The PD member told him
"Please don't me, please." The med student pleaded
"If you don't pay the toll for walking these streets, you will have a beating til you pay. So what is it gonna be?" the PD member said, pulling out his metal pole stick from the belt.
"I have a better idea. Let the kid go and I give you walloping. What do you say?" raph sinisterly grinned
"And who you might be?" the PD member answered
"Just your average friendly neighbour Samaritan" raph told him, throwing the trash bin lid
The bin lid hit the PD member in his face knocking him on conscious. Raph remained in the shadows and told the med student to get moving before anymore came. The med student did what he was told without question or curiosity of doubt and took off in a flash, not looking back.
Raph tied up the PD punk and left him outside the nearest police station with a note stating he tried to mug a civilian. Police glared the crim and looked around astounded also confused as they scratched their heads, wondering who did this and left the suspected individual on the door step of the station.
Immediately shrugging their shoulders and continued the arrest and charged the young man with armed robbery. Raph watched from the shadows of the alley way cross the street and was satisfied then returned back to April's apartment. Parking the bike nearby the back door entrance of the shop, raph entered the door and made his way up to the apartment upstairs.
"Hey guys. Hope yar decent. Cos if yar ain't, get dress now." raph teased walking up the stairs
"Hey Raph, you know how to scare a girl. Don't ya?" April answered standing the kitchen, during the dishes
"Oh did I? Sorry April. I thought ya and Casey may be playing yar dirty game; that's all. Ya remember the time we dropped by and accidently walked in on ya and Casey." Raph said leaning against the wall frame
"Yeah I do remember raph. That was humiliating; we couldn't have any sort of fun without making sure that all doors and windows were shut and locked." April replied, blushing with embarrassment
Raph smiled, blushed red liked a prune and chuckled.
"What is so funny?" April asked, placing one of her wet soapy hands upon her hips, leaning against the sink
"Nothing." Raph answered, muttering and stared the floor
"Nothing, huh?" April wondered, slightly grinning
"Yeah it was nothing." Raph told her
"Ok." April replied, grinning
April continued washing the dishes and didn't asked anything raph again what he found funny.
"So what is happening lately in the lair?" April asked, drying her hands
"Nothing much. Just everyone has a crush on Venus and she seems to be playing hard to get again." Raph replied, leaning against the wall and folded his arms
"Oh really? Who exactly has a crush on Venus?" April wondered, curiously as she folds the tea-towel and hanging it over the handle to the grill-oven door.
"Mikey...Don and Leo." Raph answered uninterested
"What about you, raph?" April asked standing beside the red clad terrapin
"What me? No way! I have my heart on someone else." Raph replied, walking to the couch and sat down.
April followed not far behind and sat down next to raph, giving him a friendly listening ear.
"Oh really...who is she but are you sure that you don't have a crush on Venus too?" April wondered, facing the red clad terrapin as she leaned on her hand while her elbow leaned onto her knee. As she waited for a reply.
"I'm not interested in Venus. She is too uptight and girlie for me; anyways I'm waiting for Mona Lisa to come back. She promised that she will be back from Europe soon and when she does; I'm making her my wife someday." Raph told April with sincere hope for his ideal woman returns.
"Oh...um...it has been a while since she had left. And if that is who you want, not like I was trying to push you to another girl. But I'm only trying to help raph. I am experienced in this area of expertise, Y'know." April told him gently
Raph glared April for a second then faced and stared the floor as he lowly grumbled.
"Raph, give it a chance. You never know until you give a go. Enjoy life while you can; life is too short to waste and wait around forever. But if you wish to wait for Mona to return that is fine. Also realize it may be a long time until she returns." April said, patting his shoulder as she stood up and walked to the kitchen to make a Caesar chicken salad.
Raph looked up and watched April walked to the kitchen as she made herself a salad to eat. He too stood up and walked to the kitchen and give April an hug to show appreciation for her advice and listening to him.
"Hey! What is this for?" April giggled, grasping the strong green arms wrapped around her petite frame.
"For listening and been a good friend. Thanks April." Raph told her, tucking her hair behind her ear and smiled
"No problem, raph. We're more than friends too; we're family and family must stick together." April replied assuring him as she hugged him back and softly brushed his cheek with her thumb and returned the smile.
"Hello...I'm back." casey called out as he walked in the door after closing it and place his golfer bag down on the floor
"Hey, hello? Where are you April?" he called out again, walking towards the kitchen.
April and raph thought to play a prank on casey. They hid along the wall that concealed their presences and waited for Casey walked in the kitchen and passed them without noticing they were hiding or unaware of their prank.
"Hello? April?"
"Rrrraaaaa!" raph and April shrieked as they jumped at casey to scare him.
"Ugghh! Oh man, raph and April...you sneaky...oooo." casey cried, trying to catch his breath and slow his heart beat while holding his chest.
"Hey case, ya finally back. Ready to go to find some goons to kick butt to next week." Raph asked, leaning against the wall on his arm
"Yeah alright. As long you don't jump at me like that again." Casey answered pleading his best mate wont try to scare him again.
"Sorry case, it was April's idea to do. She had me hostage." Raph joked, pointing the thumb to April.
"Really? I held you hostage, did I?" April glared raph standing beside him as she held her hands on her hips and tapping her foot.
"Hee hee. C'mon Case, we better go before April spanks us." Raph said, as he tried to scurry away before April did something.
"Oooo you better run then, boys before I do skin you alive." April teased pretending to mad
"Ha ha hee hee. Run Casey before we are made into mulch. Ha ha hee hee." Raph laughed and leapt out the nearest window while Casey ran out the door with golfer bag.
April smiled and giggled as she watched both raph and Casey ran out of the apartment like little kids.
