Iyatsumo hesitated as she reached out to grasp the doorknob of her Father's office. She'd had been halfway through her normal patrol rounds when her alert bracelet had started going off. She cringed inwardly, Master Saiz was never in a good mood when he called her in to see him mid-patrol. Thinking back on the past week she tried to recall if she'd done something wrong, coming up with nothing, she could only square her shoulders and try to prepare her self physically and mentally for the onslaught that she knew must be coming.
At that very moment, three very worried Brothers were searching the Junkyard for their purple masked brother. The junkyard echoed with their anxious cries.
"Donatello!? Where are you?!" called out Michelangelo. His brother's calls echoed Michelangelo's own cry.
Suddenly Raphael began to shout, "He guys, look over there by that scrap metal pile!" Racing over to the pile he had indicated Raphael bent over and gently grasped something that had almost been lost among the twisted arms of metal and garbage. Holding it up for his brothers to view, he said with a grimace, "He must have dropped it in some kind of struggle..."
Leo starred at Donatello's Bo-staff, before finally reaching out to grasp it. They all knew what kind of things would have had to have taken place in order for Donnie to leave his Bo-staff behind. Closing his eyes to hold back the tears that were prickling his eyes, he ground out in a low and angry voice, "We will find him, and if anything has happened to him...we will avenge him."
Meanwhile back in the office of Master Saiz, Iyatsumo was now sporting a swelling eye, and bruised stomach. The dark and imposing figure of Master Saiz, glared down at her from her groveling position on the ground. With a sigh he straightened his mussed clothes, and sat back down behind his desk.
Giving a hard look towards his unruly 'daughter', he said, "You realize the position you put this organization in? I did not give you permission to associate with anyone outside our local commune. Same species or not. That fact that you became indebted to one of them disgusts me. They tried to get information from you, didn't they?"
Iyatsumo flinched, she knew that he would catch her lie, if she told one, but she also knew that if she told the truth he was very likely to become enraged once again. Taking a deep breath she whispered, "They asked, but were not given anything Master."
She could hear the heavy and angry breathing of her father, she waited for the blows to once again rain down on her, but instead of hitting her, Saiz said, "You have a chance to redeem yourself...We have just been informed by one of our moles, that Karai has recently acquired one of them. Well, I don't want her to keep it. Your job is to infiltrate the Foot Headquarters and secure it, and bring it back here."
Iyatsumo, raised her head tentatively before asking in a hushed voice, "And what will we be doing with him Sir?"
"Iyatsomo, someday, you'll learn the value of holding a life debt over someone." Turning his chair around to face the window behind him, he continued, "Yes, a life debt is something that can be very valuable... You are dismissed. Leave."
