Don's POV

Day 1… well, more like Night 1 actually.

We've been searching for hours and we've only found 2 pieces of Mikey's shell cell… 2 pieces! All this hard work and we just found 2 pieces!

But it doesn't matter; Raph and I will keep searching.

Speaking of him, after our… argument… things have been pretty tense between us; we only talk about how many cell phone pieces we've found and we only do it by phone. He's going on his bike and I'm in the hauler which helps to keep the distance between us.

Lucky me… after what he said back in the lair, the last thing I want is to be near him. The nerve of him! Saying I didn't care about them, about my own brothers! What the hell was he thinking when he said that?

Oh well, we're talking about hotheaded Raph here… Mr. Hit first, ask later. Tsk, he's such a jerk. If my brothers weren't about to get killed, I swear I would have cleaned the floor with that smug face of his!

Wait… Don, that didn't sound like you! Well, sure I'm still angry at him for the way he treated me but… since when I have vengeful thoughts? Towards my own brother?

Raph is my brother; we have our arguments but… I had never wished to kick his shell so badly before.

I don't know what's going on with me… maybe it's the tension and the stress.

Nevermind, I need to focus on getting Leo and Mikey back soon.

Raph's POV

Stupid argument… what was I thinking when I said that? Of course Don cares about them but why did I react like that?

I think I'm just… terrified… yeh, terrified of what could happen to Leo and Mikey. Especially Mikey.

Fearless can resist a few test or whatever that sicko is doin' with them but the little knucklehead… he's just… well, he ain't weak but he's too young and… should I say fragile? Well, not in a girly way; that kid can take a few broken bones and keep being annoying but his soul… his spirit… that's the fragile part I'm worried about.

When I see the bastard who took my brothers, he's gonna regret the day he was born.

Holly shit! Just kicked a fucking wall… Ow, my poor toe! Crap, hurts like hell!

Ok, calm down Raph… just… just try to calm down. You can get angry later.

I better keep searching; Don ain't gonna be the only one doin' all the job by himself… not after how I treated him. Come to think of it… I think I need to apologize; Donnie's as concerned as I am but he just deals better with his emotions. Just like he said.

How am I gonna tell him I'm sorry? Still don't know. I think next time I call him; I'll let him know I didn't mean to treat him like dirt.

Leo's POV

Tonight's been pretty calm here. No guards, nice food and most importantly: no tortures or beating. That crazy guy must be in a good mood; he usually sends his men to kick our shells before dinner time… after that we're not able to eat anything for a couple of hours because of the pain.

Mikey's a little sore from last beating and there are one or two bruises in his arms that didn't seem to want to disappear; I think he'll have those permanently but at least he's smiling… a little but it's a smile still.

Watching him sleep without those nightmares once in a while is perfect and since the amount of food was correct this time, I didn't have to give him my part of the meal. Not that I'm complaining but… c'mon, I can also get hungry! But if it's for one of my bros, I wouldn't mind to die for starvation.

Heh… that sounded gloomy.

Speaking of my bros… I wonder how Raph and Don are doing without us. Well, they hardly ever argue so I believe Raph must be pretty bored and I think Don's more than glad that electronics in the lair are not getting broken or destroyed every single second. But maybe I could be wrong.

Sensei told me that when I was in Central America, Raph and Don's arguments were almost daily but not as bad as my and Raph's arguments… thank goodness!

I thought that my absence would help them to get to know each other a little more but there was no improvement. Now that Mikey and I are gone… I wonder if they're arguing again.

Tsk, stupid collar… can't get rid of it! I feel like a dog! Ow! Damn… I think the skin is irritated. I hope Mikey's doing better than me.

…

Mikey's POV

Man, it's good to "go to bed" with your stomach full! Now I know what Klunk feels after a nice meal. Hehe, aww… my kitty… I hope Donnie's taking care of him since daddy Mikey is here trapped.

Shell, this thing is annoying! Not to mention painful! I think this is why dogs don't like collars; these things hurt, itch and I think I have some… blood? Huh, funny… didn't know electrical leather collars could rip the skin. Maybe it's because it's too tight but I can't get this thing off me!

Well, at least we weren't beaten today, that's the nice part… Oh! And the food was good too!

Most importantly, finally Leo could have a complete dinner. This guy is getting skinnier than me… I don't like to see him like that.

*sigh* Where are you guys? Raphie… Donnie… sensei… I don't think they just forget us. What if… what if this sicko told them that we're dead so they stopped searching? Oh gosh… c'mon Mikey, be positive!

I know they're out there looking for us and they'll rescue us; I know it! We'll be home soon and we'll just forget all this nightmare. And then I'll be back to my Klunkers, my videogames, comics, my nachos… but most importantly… I'll be back home with the people I love.

I just wish they'd hurry up.
