A/N: Sorry about the shortness and lateness of this chapter. I was trying to get the end to work, I'm still not happy with it, but its okay.
"So, why are you guys doing all the way over here? I thought Splinter didn't like you guys coming to the surface unless the foot or someone was attacking the city."
"He doesn't," said the turtles in unison. Leo continued on saying, "He wanted us to make sure the Foot, or Shredder don't get to you. He didn't want anything to happen before tomorrow."
"What's tomorrow?"
"Well," said Mikey, "He just wants you to be okay and all since the Shredder is after you. Splinter wants you to arrive at our place safe so he sent us out."
"Oh yea that's right. I forgot about that, good thing I already told Casey. So does Raphie-boy still hate me?"
"Yeap." The turtles said in unison.
"Maybe I should bring Case down with me one day and have him knock some sense into that think head numb skull." Everyone laughed at that comment, even Casey. Whenever I thought someone needed some sense knocked into their head, I would threaten to sick Casey at them and then they would back away, always worked. But in this case, I wasn't sure that Casey can knock some sense into Raphael, since I hardly even knew the turtle and he seemed like a really big hothead, and I mean really big hothead.
"So," said Leo, "How is the Shredder doing?"
"I wouldn't know," I said, "He's after me, as usual. But I have a feeling that this time, he isn't going to go easy on me, I know that for a fact." Then I got to wondering, what could the Shredder possibly do to me that he hasn't done before, that's if he gets me. I mean, he used me as his personal slave once. Two words. Never. Again. I still have nightmares from that experience. And yes, I still get nightmares at 17, it aint that weird, I think. Casey doesn't know though. I don't want him to get all worried over me and what not. All I need is him breathing down my back.
"Uh, guys," I said, "I have a feeling that someone will be dropping by tonight."
"I hope its April," said Mikey happily.
"I don't think that's what she meant," said Leo, "I think she meant like the foot or someone like that."
"I don't know who," I said, "All I know is that I'm getting a bad feeling about something and it won't be pretty at the end." I actually do know whose coming after me. Its Shredder himself. What I didn't tell them is that he's most likely going to do something unthinkable. I don't even know what that is. All I know is that I need to get out of this place before anything bad happens. On top of that, if my theory that Shredder is coming after me personally, I so don't want anyone to fight my battle for me. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, unless it's Shredder himself. I hate that guy already.
"Guys," I said, "I'm really tired so I'm going to bed. See ya later." Ten minutes later, I was going around, trying to find the Shredder before he found me. What Casey and the turtles don't know, won't hurt them, right?

"Not again," Casey nearly yelled.
"What do you mean not again?" asked Leonardo.
"Kris had snuck out again. Guess she didn't want the 'people' to get to us and harm us. We better go after her, even if we aren't supposed to. I don't want her to get harmed in any way, shape or form.
