Chapter 10: The Jade Hunt
The very next day Splinter brought Leo home.
He quietly walked over to his eldest son's bedroom door to make sure that he was OK. Leonardo was safely snoozing peacefully in his bed. Splinter sighed sadly and went down stairs.
He then noticed Michelangelo sat on the sofa playing racing video games.
"Check in on Leonardo every ten minuets and call me if he wakes up." Splinter said. "Ok." Mikey said without looking away from his game. "Michelangelo I'm serious, I didn't un-ground you so that you could play video games all day." He glared.
"You have to keep an eye on your brother." Hamato Yoshi reminded the youngest Hamato.
"Dad I don't want anything to happen to him either." Mikey glared. "Thank you." Splinter said. "I'll be back in an hour, your mother might call since she left a message and Leonardo's phone. Just don't say anything, I haven't figured out what I'm going to tell her." He said and headed for the front door.
"Where are you going?" Mikey asked.
"I'm going to find out who that Jade is."...
Back at his house Raph was looking on Clicksters to see what people were saying about Leo.
"Pathetic. Did it over Venus."
"If he kills himself I won't cry." Karai had posted.
"Tried to kill himself over a stupid girl?"
"Shut up, not my fault. He freaks me out." Venus had posted and Raph glared. "Yer such a bitch Venus, such as bitch." He spat in anger and pushed his laptop away from him...
Splinter was currently at Donnie's house.
Donnie pulled up his Clicksters account while Arthur and Splinter talked to each other. Hamato Yoshi wanted to see this Jade's account. "Thank you for having me come over." Splinter sighed.
"I'm really sorry that Leonardo's having such a hard time with the way they've all ganged up on him." Arthur said.
Splinter sighed. Donnie suddenly frowned at his laptop. "It's gone." He said. When he typed up Jade's name it came up a deleted. "Jade's profile was here yesterday and now it's deleted." Don explained.
"I should of printed it out when I had the chance." Splinter groaned.
Donnie looked down to the floor. "Does Leo hate me?" He asked the mutant rat. "Of course not Donatello." Yoshi reasurred. "Do you think that this Jade could be a fake?" He asked.
"Well her profile said that she goes to Ridgeway and she doesn't." Donnie sighed.
"Do you have any idea who could have created this profile?" Splinter asked. Donnie sighed and nodded...
Splinter glared as he walked up to the Oroku household.
He rang the door bell and soon Karai's father, Oroku Saki, answered the door. Oroku Saki was a 48 year old human man and was quite slim but tall and very muscular and toned.
Saki had severe burns and his right eye was blood red with just a blue iris in the middle of it.
He wore a black business suit. "Can I help you?" He asked the mutant rat. "Mr Oroku, your daughter Karai and my son Leonardo go to the same school together and I was just wondering if I would be able to speak to you about what's been happening at school." Splinter explained.
Suddenly Karai's head poked out from behind her father.
"I heard my name." She smiled. "I'm Leonardo's mother and I was just wondering if you created a fake profile online." Splinter glared. "What? No." She smiled. "Karai go back inside." Saki said to his daughter.
But Splinter wasn't finished.
"You and your friends have been harassing my son for weeks now." Saki gave his daughter a look and Karai went back inside. "My son tried to commit suicide because your daughter was bullying him." Splinter shook in anger.
"You should know that your speaking with one of the wealthiest men in New York City before you slander my daughter." Saki glared.
"It's not slander it's fact. I've got posts from your daughter mocking my son." Saki didn't look scared. "If my daughter expressed her opinion about anything that's her right. At least according to the constitution." He smirked.
"Excuse me! Your going to defend her?!" Splinter exclaimed.
"It's called freedom of speech, it's a first amendment. You might want to give it a read." Saki smirked and slammed the door in Splinter's face...
Leo groaned a bit as he started to wake up.
He frowned however when he saw his younger brother Mikey staring at him. "Why are you staring at me?" He moaned. Mikey moved closer to the bed and sat down on it.
"Dad said I had to keep an eye on you and call him if you wake up." He replied.
"No. You don't have to call him." Leo sighed. But you do have to get me that water over there." He said and Mikey passed him the glass of water on the desk. Leo took a sip of the water before passing the glass back to Mikey.
The two turtles sat in a really awkward silence.
"Were you really going to do it?" Mikey finally asked. All Leo could do was nod. "I would have been mad if you did." The baby blue eyed turtle warned. "No you would have loved being an only child." Leo sighed.
"No I wouldn't!" Mikey snapped.
"If you hadn't of put that video up I would have been the one to find you all dead on the bathroom floor." Leo groaned. "Oh God I bet their saying all kinds of things about me." He whimpered and quickly sat up.
"Mikey, pass me my laptop I have to see what their saying." He pleaded.
Mikey just sighed in defeat and passed his big brother the laptop. Leo was about to log into Clicksters when suddenly his father walked into the room. Everyone just seemed to freeze.
Mikey quickly left the room as Splinter walked over to Leo.
He slowly took the laptop off his son and Leo didn't protest. "Do you really think that's a good idea?" He asked the turtle teen. Leo just sighed and laid back down on the bed...
