The Art of the Thief
Part One
Chapter Six
The bright-bowed turtle chick nodded her head slowly. "Brother. Like I could do all this by myself?" She crossed her arms. "And to think…I thought you looked not stupid…or smart…or whatever."
"Aight look here! We ain't got time for this shit! Now tell us where the diamonds are!" Raphael yelled.
"Hey Raph! Don't yell at her! We have to calmly speak to her!" Leo glared at his brother.
As the two turtles got into a fight with each other, Michelangelo looked over at this girl turtle, he ignored his two brothers. "I don't believe we have been properly introduced, babe." He smirked. "Names Michelangelo. But you can call me Mikey."
"Mikey?" She raised an eyebrow at him. Mikey felt aflutter when she spoke his name with her cute high pitched voice. "You don't look like a Mikey. You look more like a…like a…."
"Like a what babe?" He asked curiously.
"Like a dude I'm not supposed to talk to." She blushed at her own flirty daring. She decided to add in a little wink to go with her blush. "Now if you'll excuse me, Mister Mikey, I have to go now." She tried to brush past him but Donatello moved in front of and his bo staff blocked her path.
"You are not leaving yet." Donnie spoke.
"Why not?" She asked, she almost sounded shocked.
"Because we ain't finished with you!" Raph yelled after her.
Her eye twitched. This guy was so rude…she didn't like him it seemed.
"What do you want! Just let me go home!" She started sounding frantic.
"Calm down now…" Leo took a step towards her.
She started shaking. These turtles still surrounded her. "Please let me go home…I promise I won't steal anything….i'll leave the diamonds alone…I swear." The longer she seemed to spend with them the more uncomfortable she became. "You believe me…don't you Mikey?" She looked to Mikey blinking her blue eyes at him.
"Hey hey hey!" Raph interjected. "Don't you use any of that feminine wiles crap on him!"
"Feminine wiles?" She turned to Raph. She was now a little steamed. "Look dude…I don't know who you think you are, but I certainly don't like your attitude problem! You're such a meanie, you know that! And I am being totally honest with you!"
Did she just back talk to Raph?
"Oh no you didn't! That's it! I'm taking your lying ass out!" Raph took out his Sai. But as he did a dart hit him in the back of the neck. "What the shee-" He dropped to the ground unconscious.
All eyes turned to the source. It was a human woman who looked like a scientist. She had deep blonde hair, red lips and brown eyes. She was surrounded by a group of guys dressed in radiation suits. Each of them held a strange gun.
"Hello, my darling number 8." The lady spoke with a seductively deep woman voice. She spoke with a sense of class and refinement that showed that she clearly was used to higher way of living. She almost spoke down on those around her.
The lady walked forward confidently with her radiation guys at her heels. The turtles stood ready to fight – except the girl turtle. She took a step back and stared in horror at the scientist.
"Hello Monet, my darling niece." The lady smiled. "How are things?"
"Monet?" The turtles looked to her. Now she had a name. Monet looked completely scared. Her eyes widely staring at this doctor as though the scientist was the devil incarnate. Her yellow-green skin paled a bit as she trembled at the sight.
"Well my dear it appears as though you are doing well, now let's run along home and I can finish my work."
Monet shook her head.
The scientist let out a sigh. "I'm not accustomed to asking a second time. Now child, come back home with me and your brother and then all will be well again."
"What…what did you do to my brother?" Monet asked timidly.
The scientist just chuckled and a radiation guy pointed a gun at her.
"Hold it right there dudes!" Mikey interrupted. "I don't know who you guys are, but like I don't think she wants to go with you."
The scientist looked to Mikey. "Well, well, well, I had almost forgotten your existence -- The strange terrapin quartet. Pardon me for interrupting your little dance lesson, but I am here to retrieve my niece so if you will kindly step aside-"
The turtle felt insulted. Being a ninja was so not a dance lesson! They kept their fighting stances.
The scientist smirked. "I can see I will have to push past you myself then." She snapped her fingers and the radiation guys pulled the trigger.
Darts surrounded them but the brothers managed to deflect them all. Working in unison, the three remaining brothers then charged at the radiation guys.
Monet wanted to help fight, but she could not turn her gaze away from the scientist. She stared into the scientists cold brown eyes. She held up a gun and aimed at Monet.
