I Do Not Own TMNT
Chapter 4
Day One
Raph ran the rooftops in search of either of his brothers. But he wanted to find Don more. He was worried about Don and wondered what Mikey knew. Did Mikey know where Don was? And why would he keep him from us? He saw Leo hold up a hand meaning to stop. They stopped and caught their breath.
"Where could he be?" Raph asked
"I don't know...Where would even begin to look?" Leo replied looking around
"...What are we going to do with Mikey Leo?"
Leo went silent for a second, Raph tried to look at the emotion on Leo's face. But he didn't see anything.
"I don't know Raph...The only choice we have is to wait until he gets home and talk to him" Leo claimed
Raph nodded, They both walked back to the manhole, Leo wondered where Mikey was, It was unlike him to just run out of the lair, Leo was worried, He was scared. He was responsible for his brothers and two of them are gone. And one of them is probably hurt. This thought made chills run down Leo's spine. He just wanted to find his brothers and for everything to go back to normal.
They made their way back to the lair just to find that Mikey hasn't returned yet, Leo went over and sat on the couch and put his head in his hands. A couple minutes after he felt a hand on his shoulder and felt someone sit next to him.
"It's going to be ok Leo" Raph said " We'll find Donny and Mikey is bound to come back anytime"
" I know...But I'm still worried" Leo stopped for a second. " I'm worried that Mikey has something to do with Don"
"Mikey wouldn't do that to Don"
"Didn't you see him when he came back?" Leo started " He was shaking and i could obviously tell he wasn't telling the whole truth"
"Leo...You're not accusing Mikey of...Of killing Don...Are you?" Raph started but Leo interrupted
Leo cringed at the sound of those words, " Not killing...Just...Doing something to him and hiding him"
"Mikey wouldn't hide Don if he did something, Usually he would come and tell us" Raph said
"I dont know Raph...Something has been off about him lately, I mean before Don" Leo couldn't finish, Something wasn't letting him. Raph wrapped his arm around him and they sat like that before Raph talked again.
"You really think Mikey did something to Don" Raph asked
Leo thought about it, He thought about what Mikey could have done to Don. Mikey wouldn't do that, Would he? After a couple minutes of silence, Leo spoke.
"Yes"
...
Mikey slammed the picture on the table, Causing people to glance over at him. He kept calm until they all stopped looking. He took the picture and stuck it in his pocket and took out a few bucks to pay for the coffee he didn't touch and threw them on the table. He grabbed the key and walked out of the cafe, He hailed down a taxi and got in, Telling the taxi driver to drive to the train station. He looked out the window at the scenery that was speeding past him. He stuck his hand in his pocket and grabbed the picture, He wanted to tear it up and throw it away, But he couldn't. He took the picture out of his pocket and held it in his hands. He didn't want to look at it, It made him angry just holding it. But he closed his eyes and flipped the picture with shaky hands.
He shivered when he opened his eyes. It was clearly Don. His hand was handcuffed to the cell wall and his mask was used to cover his mouth. He didn't seem badly beaten or hurt. Which was good. Still he wanted this guy to burn for messing with his brother. He jumped at the sudden stop of the taxi.
"This is your stop" The taxi driver said " That will be five bucks"
"Thanks" He said lowly as he dug in his pocket for some money, But he didn't have any more. He only brought a couple bucks not expecting to be taking taxi's. He looked at the taxi driver who was waiting for him to pay. He took a deep breath and quickly opened the door and ran out. He heard the taxi driver yell out to him but he kept running. He pushed the station door open and stopped inside, He looked outside and saw the taxi driver was still parked out there, But he wasn't coming after him. He exhaled with relief and walked into the station. He looked around for the lockers, But he didn't see them. There were way to many people in here. He pushed his way into the crowd and looked for the lockers. He was starting to get a little pissed with all the people. He wanted to push them out of the way, But he didn't want to bring attention to himself. He saw the lockers and pushed his way toward them. Once he finally made it to the lockers, He fixed his hat and took the key out of his pocket. He studied the locker number. 157B. He looked at the signs indicating what locker numbers are in the sections. He saw 150B-165B and walked toward it. He looked for 157.
154...155...156...157
He examined the locker, Half expecting it to not be there or to be damaged. But it was a normal locker, HE took a deep breath and stuck the key into the hole and turned. He opened the locker and tilted his head in confusion. It was a shoebox. Was this the wrong locker? He checked the number again and it was the correct locker. Was he asking me to get his shoes for him? He grunted and grabbed the shoebox. It wasn't as heavy as he expected, He tucked the shoebox into his coat and walked out of the locker area. He looked over at the front door and saw the taxi driver pointing at him...With two cops next to him. 'God Damn it' He thought himself as he looked for another exit. Good, There was a back door. He started toward it but was soon cut off by and hand on his bicep.
"Would you come with us please" He heard a deep voice behind him say
He stood there not knowing what to do, Without thinking he elbowed the cop in the gut and kicked his shin, throwing him to the ground. "FREEZE" He heard. He cursed to himself and ran toward the back door. He pushed it open and ran out, Not knowing what he was doing. He stopped and looked for somewhere to go. All he needed was a sewer drain or something. He heard the door behind him be slammed open and this jerked his brain back into action. He didn't look back, He dashed forward not really knowing where he was running to. When he saw an alley way to turned into it and to his luck there was a pipe. He quickly climbed it and ran from rooftop to rooftop. He didn't stop until he knew that he wasn't being followed. He leaned on the brick pillar and caught his breath. Great, Now he is wanted by the police, And why? Just because he didn't pay a taxi fee. Taxi drivers are dumbasses, Thanks to them I have more of a problem. He took a breath and grabbed the shoebox from his coat and put it on the ground. He knelt next to it and placed a hand on the lid. He was scared to see what's inside, He's seen the movies, The movies where the characters open a box and find there someone's head in it. He slowly took off the lib and placed it next to him. Well it wasn't Don's head, But it sent chills down his spine when he saw six origami figures...And a gun.
He shook at the sight at the shiny piece of metal. The origami figures where shaped as animals, a frog, a cat, a bird, A turtle, a lion, and a elephant. It was actually impressive
He picked up one of the origami figures, The one shaped as a frog. He unfolded it and read the small print.
" ARE YOU PREPARED TO SHOW YOUR COURAGE IN ORDER TO SAVE YOUR BROTHER"
