"What in the name of the nine goddamn hells do you think your doing?!" Leo almost screamed at us as Donnie sped the van away.

"There are nine hells?" Casey asked.

"There will be by the time he's done with us." I muttered back to him.

"I wonder if I can bar-b-que down there."

"I don't think you'd like the meat on the menu." Cris told him.

"Somebody better answer me goddamn it!" Leo flared again.

"He sure does want God to damn a lot of things tonight." Came from Casey.

"Well if he's going to make nine hells he's gonna have to fill them up somehow." Cris grinned.

"Yeah and it looks like we are going to be the first occupants." April said, eyeing a steaming Leo. Wow, I think his face was actually getting red. Is that even possible to get that shade of red with green skin?

"Leo! We got trouble! Bogeys on our butts!" Mikey said from where he was looking out the back. Now that was a mental image.

"Donnie get us out of here!" Leo scrambled to the back, stepping on all of us in his hurry. I swear, I think he did that on purpose.

Donnie just mumbled and punched the gas harder.

"You guys are so dead." Raph told us as he too went to go look out the back.

Donnie hit a hard left turn and we all flew to the right side of the van. How come Casey had to fall with his lard ass against me? "Get off me you oaf!" I pushed him off. Of course the damn ninjas didn't lose their footing. They were still standing there looking out the back, discussing some kind of strategy. I was to busy trying to untangle myself from my friends to hear what they were saying. I had just freed myself of the human ball when Donnie hit a hard right and sent us all rolling to the other side of the van. This time I smashed into Casey with April and Cris crashing into me.

Yup this night was still fun. Nothing like getting rescued by the very guys who weren't even supposed to know about our field trip and then end up in a car chase. Then there was that tell tale popping noise. Oh wasn't this just lovely, now they were shooting at us again.

Donnie made another hard left and once again we went rolling across the van. This time the door gave in under our weight and April and I almost tumbled right out, the only thing that kept us from scraping across the concrete was my quick reflexes. With one hand I grabbed the door and with the other I grabbed Aprils bag strap. This would have been comical under other circumstances, both of us leaning out the open door with April's arms twirling like windmills almost hitting me in the face. Cris and Casey rushed over to pull us back into the van as once again bullets went flying by. They struggled to get April in but her swimming in midair attempts were throwing them off balance. Then Raph was there and reached around them, grabbed April and I by our pants and with a mighty heave pulled us both back in. Cris and Casey slammed the doors shut again.

"Donnie they are still on us bro!"

"I know Mikey! I'm working on it!"

"Work faster! Dude has a bazooka!"

"Oh for crying out loud!" Donnie made another hard turn as the weapon was fired and was able to dodge it.

"That's it." Raph growled and kicked the van's back doors open.

"Raph! No!" But it was to late, ignoring Leo Raph had already launched himself into the air and landed on top of the truck following us. He ripped the bazooka from the goon's hands then slammed the shit out of the guy with it. Then he turned and threw it through the windshield of one of the other pursuing vehicles with enough force to shatter it. Leo came landing next to him after he also launched himself out and flipped into the air again to land on the third vehicle as Mikey used his skateboard to get to the broken windshield one.

By now Raph was pulling guys up out through the gun turret and was throwing them which ever way seemed convenient at the time. The one Leo was now in was swerving wildly all over the road, at one point a guy came flying out of that turret like a damn poptart out of a toaster and came down hard onto the road as the vehicle sped on. Mikey seemed to like to pull them out through the broken windshield, beat the shit out of them and throw them back in. All of this was going on as a fourth vehicle was still pursuing them. Mikey turned the wheel hard on his and leapt over to the one Leo was in as his smashed into the one behind them when their paths crossed. "Hey Leo! Mind if I hitch a ride?"

"What do you think this is? A fucking amusement park?" Raph asked as he landed next to Mikey, his own ride now heading driverless towards a telephone pole.

"I though it was amusing." He grinned as Leo, now driving, brought the vehicle closer. He finally brought it to the point where his brothers jumped off and back into the van and swiftly he launched himself out the driver's door and caught the van door as that one also slammed into something, this time a wall. Smoothly he slid into the van and they closed the doors behind him. Then he stood there glaring at us as if they didn't just play rodeo trucks.

"I'm still waiting."

"Thanks a lot guys." I muttered to my friends. "It's going to take me all night to explain this to him now."

"No, it won't." Cris told me then turned to Leo. "It's Casey's fault." She grinned at him.

"Thanks for throwing me under the bus Cris." Casey said.

"Or van in this case." April spoke up.

"Well, it was his idea."

"Casey?" Leo asked incredulously. "You listened to Casey?"

Cris, April and I just looked at each other and shrugged. No defense really for that one. "Hey, it was a good idea. I thought so anyway."

"Casey, you don't know how to think." Leo snapped at him.

"You do know that if anything would have happened to them I would have beat you to a point where you'd have to wear that mask all the time, right?" Raph told him.

"Hey, we handled ourselves pretty good without you guys."

"Oh yeah, it went soooo smooth." Leo said sarcastically.

"Well, it did."

"Right up until the point shit started going wrong." I mumbled.

"You walked into a trap didn't you." Leo really didn't state it as a question.

"More like bumbled into one." I said as I glared at my partners in crime.

"Idiots." Donnie mumbled from the drivers seat as Leo facepalmed.

"Didn't it occur to you that they were waiting for us to show up there?"

"Yup. Right around the point when Vicky had to kick a door in to get Cris and April out of a locked room." Casey said.

"Donnie is right, you are idiots." Raph grumbled.

"Still, I don't think they were expecting them to show up instead of us." Donnie said. "Might have been the reason they got out so easy."

"I'm glad you thought it as easy." I told him. "Trying to lead this gaggle of goofballs is like trying to herd wild ducks."

"Well, easy for us." Donnie corrected, was that bastard smiling? "They were probably holding back to see if we would show up since we normally don't let you go off alone like that."

Leo sighed shaking his head. "Did you at least find anything out with this stunt of yours?"

"Besides the fact that was the place they held Caitlin, I don't know." I answered him. "April was able to find a computer and get it running. She's not as good as Donnie but I think she picked up some info."

"Nobody is as good as Donnie." April said with a smile. "But it was ridiculously easy to get into the computer."

"Of course it was. They left it as bait." Donnie said.

"Yeah, we figured that out."

"So the whole night was a waste." Cris muttered. "I mean if they set it for you guys, who says the info is even worth anything."

"Not neccessarily." Donnie disagreed. "You have to know Bishop better to understand. He would leave sensitive information laying around if it would bring him what he needs. He knows we wouldn't just go in for lab notes from a minor lab tech, if we go in it's for the serious stuff."

"Ok, so is he trying to kill us or capture us?" Mikey asked.

"Known our luck, both." Raph muttered.

Leo had a thoughtful look on his face. "I think we are over looking something here."

"Like what?"

"Why all of a sudden is he so interested on getting his hands on us?"

"Because we keep blowing his shit up?" Casey asked.

"I'm serious. Think about it. Yes we have crossed paths with his many of times, but he has never actively tried to hunt us down before. Others, yes," He looked at me. "but never us."

"What about the time he set those turtle rejects on us at the farm?" Mikey brought up.

"I honestly believe that was more of their idea than Bishop's. We were their payment to work with him. If Bishop had wanted us back then he would have personally taken a hand in trying to get us instead of leaving us to our evil twins."

"Leo is right." Donnie spoke up as he turned into the tunnel leading to the garage. "Aside from our first encounter when he tried to dissect us, he has pretty much left us alone. Something has changed."

"Now we just have to figure out what." He looked at us. "No more of these adventures, and I think it might be wise if April and Casey stayed with us. I'm not sure how far he will go to get his hands on us." His eyes grew hard. "And he's been known to go pretty far before."

"It's getting pretty crowded in the lair, Leo" Mikey complained.

"It can't be helped, little brother. Our safety is more important than comfort right now. And I mean human and turtle alike, for right now we all stay together."

"Fine. But I'm not bunking with Casey. He farts to much in his sleep."

"Why I oughtta..." Casey pulled out a bat and began to go after Mikey with it. Yup these next few weeks were going to be sooooo fun.
