Chapter 10.
Valentinas POV
"What do yah mean ' they're gone'?" Alexia yelled at Louis.
"What do yah think I mean?! That they went to the bathroom?" Louis said.
"Dat's not funny!" Alexia said
"Don't yah think I know dat?!" Louis yelled.
"Shut up! I'm gonna save my little brother!" Kim screamed with tears running down her face, she started to run but Louis stopped her. He grabbed her arms and didn't let go.
"Let go of me! I have to save him!" Kim screamed and struggled to get out of Louis grip.
"No! We already lost 'em, we can't lose yah too!" Louis said. I felt tears running down my cheeks as I realized my cousins maybe were gone forever. I saw Alexia walk over to a wall and slammed her fist repeatedly in it.
"Damn it all! They wasn't after 'em, they wanted me and Kim. It's my fault!" Alexia blamed herself. Michelle walked over and tried to calm her down.
"Alexia, please calm down, we'll find them" Michelle said.
"How? They maybe are a thousand miles away by now, we have no clue where they are going and-" Alexia wasn't able to finish her sentence as Michelle slapped her.
"Now you listen! We're going to save them no matter what! But we can't do that without you so stop blaming yourself and pull yourself together!" Michelle yelled at her. Alexia nodded but before we could leave, we were surrounded once again.
"When are these guys gonna give up?" I said.
"If we spread, they can't get us all" Kim said.
"Where are we supposed to go?" I yelled.
"Anywhere but with them" Louis said.
Normal POV
Michelle jumped out of the window and started to run, she was really fast so this was her advantage. She heard people behind her and that made her run even faster.
"Get her!" Someone yelled from behind. Michelle kept running, but then she saw people in trees, what were they up do? She saw that they held something black in their hands. She had seen those kind of devices before. She couldn't just put a finger on it.
She heard someone pull a trigger but before she was hit, Michelle jumped out of the way. The thing they had tried to hit her with wasn't a bullet, it was a net. Michelle changed her directions and kept running.
'They aren't going to get me that easy' she thought. But before she knew it, she was trapped inside a net. Michelle eventually got out but the four guys running after her had managed to catch up.
"Be a smart girl and just surrender" one guy said.
"Never!" Michelle yelled and ran towards them. She knew exactly what she wanted to do. She formed her hand to a fist and hit one of the guys where the kidney where. He fell down with his hands on his side.
"Damn you, little girl!" He yelled. Michelle turned to the side and dodged as one of the other guys tried to punch her. She pushed his legs and quickly moved out of the way so he fell down on the hard ground. A little blood started to run from his nose. Michelle smiled as it had only gone like two minutes and two guys were already down. But she wasn't happy too long because she felt a sting in her neck. Her sight got blurry and soon collapsed.
Shortly after Michelle had jumped out of the window, Alexia followed but ran the opposite way. She saw a tree and climbed up, she saw two of the creepy men follow her, they struggled a bit to climb up where she was. She saw a tree just a little bit away, Alexia prepared herself and then jumped to the next tree. She climbed up a little higher and was surprised to see that one of the creepy men where already there. Alexia didn't hesitate for a second, she kicked the man right in the stomach so he fell down. There was a tree right next her so she grabbed a branch and climbed over.
She did this about four times and still had lot of energy left. The problem was that trees began to run out so she couldn't climb for much longer. Alexia was about to grab a branch when a needle appeared right next to her hand. Alexia got a little scared since she hate needles. She turned around and noticed two guys with guns filled with needles.
"Ew, I hate needles!" Alexia yelled.
"If you surrender we won't use them on you!" One of the guys said.
"You promise?" Alexia asked.
"Yes we do" The guy answered. Alexia began to climb down towards them. They kept their promise and didn't use the needles. The guys tied her wrists behind her back so Alexia wouldn't be able to climb. They also held Alexia's arms so she walked in the middle.
They started to walk away but didn't notice Alexia's smirk. Alexia spun around with one side of her body so the guy who held her right arm hit the guy who held her left arm. She got free and started to run away, a little hard to do with your hands tied behind your back. She struggled to get her hands free while she was running so she didn't notice when she ran into a pretty muscular guy. She fell and landed on her butt. Alexia looked up and saw that the man had a smirk on his lips.
"This should be fun" He said and clenched his fists.
Louis and Kim watched as Michelle, Alexia and Valentina left the treehouse, all the exits were blocked so they had to stay in the treehouse. They were about ten grown-ups, both male and female, against two teenagers.
"Got any ideas?" Kim asked while she looked at the peoples who surrounded them and felt a bit worried.
"Plenty of 'em, like fight, don't get kidnapped, want more?" Louis said sarcastically.
"Yeah, a good one! Like how we're gonna win" Kim said.
"How about we work together?" Louis asked.
"Finally, you came up with a good one" Kim said.
A fight broke out and Kim and Louis worked together pretty good. Louis bent down on one knee, Kim cartwheeled over his back and gave two of the guys an axe kick each. They were quickly surrounded but they knew what to do. Kim wrapped her arms around Louis' neck as he lifted her up and began to spin around. Kim's legs hit the bad guys in their faces so they fell.
Two guys went to attack Louis but he jumped up and did a flying dragon-kick right in their faces so they got heavy nosebleed. Kim on the other hand attacked a girl by a front handspring, she kicked the girl in her chest so she fell right on another girl.
They were standing by the couch and the bad guys were coming towards them. Kim back flipped so she was behind the couch and Louis were standing on the couch and tried to keep them away.
Kim searched for something she could fight with but she only found a water gun, Kim happily took it and showed it to Louis.
"Hey Louis! Remember these ones?" Kim asked. Louis glanced at her and smiled, Kim handed him one and realized they were loaded.
"Oh yeah, they're loaded!" Louis yelled and started shooting at the bad guys. Kim smiled and joined him.
"Damn these kids are good!" One of the bad guys said.
"Not for much longer!" One guy said and threw a bomb filled with sleeping gas, the bad guys took on some masks so they wouldn't breathe in the gas. Kim and Louis coughed and tried to not breath in but they were non successful. Moments later they fainted.
"Now we got them all"
Leo's POV
We hadn't seen Kim and Vinnie since this morning, both Felicia and I started to get a bit worried.
"Where are they? And why aren't they answering their phones?" Felicia asked.
"Felicia, calm down, I'm sure they are alright" I said, trying to convince both of us.
"But where can they be?" She asked.
"They're probably with their cousins. You know Vinnie and Chris are like brothers and Kim and Alexia are real close." I said.
"You're probably right. But that doesn't stop me from worrying about them." She said.
"I can call Raph or Midnight if that helps. They can confirm that they are fine." I said. Felicia nodded and I took out my phone. I dialed Raph's number and waited for him to answer.
"What do yah want fearless?" I heard Raph say on the other side.
"Seriously? We're grown-ups and you still call me that?" I asked.
"Yeah, why not?" Raph said.
"Anyways, I called to ask if Vinnie and Kim are with Chris and Alexia at your place, are they?" I asked.
"Funny yah say dat, I was 'bout ta call yah and ask da same thing." Raph said.
"So you haven't seen the at all?" I asked.
"Nope, not since yesterday"
"Yesterday?"
"Yeah, we kinda had a fight.."
"Really, you too?!"
"Yeah, they kinda found out the turtle thing and ended up saying they hated me and Mid."
"We have to ask the others if they have seen the kids, I'll call Mike and you call Don, then we meet at my place, okay?"
"Okay, bye"
Raph's POV
After I ended the phone call with Leo, I called Don's and Kate's home number.
"Katherine speaking"
"Hey Kate, it's Raph"
"Oh hi Raph, what's on your mind?" Kate asked
"Yah don't happen to know where mah kids are?" I asked
"No, aren't they home?" Kate asked a bit confused.
"No, and they aren't at Leo's place either"
"Well they aren't here and Michelle's gone too"
"Really? Does she happen ta know 'bout da turtle thing?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Just a lucky guess"
"You don't think they are in trouble?"
"Honestly, I think they are"
"What are we gonna do, Raph?"
"Let's meet at Leo's place and discuss dis, they can't just disappear"
"Right, see you later, bye Raph"
"Bye" I said and hung up.
Just an hour later we had gathered at Leo's place and to everyone's fear, there was no sign of the kids.
"I don't get it, they can't disappear like that, right?" Mike asked.
"Maybe they're mad at us for not telling them?" Kate asked.
"You mean the turtle thing?" Midnight asked Kate.
"That seems logic, who wouldn't be mad when a lifelong secret is revealed?" Donnie said.
"But they've been gone the whole day, I'm getting worried." Rosie said.
"I agree with Rosie, we have ta do sumething before anything bad happens." I said.
"Well, why don't we split up and search for them?" Leo said.
"Wouldn't it be best if someone stayed here if the kids showed up?" Felicia asked.
"Could you do that?" Leo asked her, Felicia nodded and we others left, I really hope the kids are aright.
Valentina's POV
"This has to be my lucky day" I said as I leaned against a wall. I had been running for a while now, I don't know how but I managed to escape from the bad guys. Guess I'll have to thank my athletic skills after all. I found myself walking at a familiar street, I was almost home now.
I didn't know anywhere else to go but I knew that my parents, aunts and uncles would be able to help me and my cousins. I saw my house and ran a little faster. I unlocked the door and walked in. To my surprise, no one was home. I felt a little bit worried.
"Where can they be?" I asked myself. It didn't take long untill I figured out a place they could be. I started to run towards Leo and Felicia's house. I didn't bother to knock on the door, I just walked in.
"Uncle Leo! Aunt Felicia! Mom! Dad! Anyone here?" I yelled out and started to run around in the house. I really needed to talk to someone and soon. I started to panic and felt hopeless.
"Valentina? Is that you?" A familiar voice asked. I turned around and saw aunt Felicia. She probably saw my worried and full of panic face so she imbressed me in a hug.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Meandmycousinsweeemadatyoufo rnottellingussowemetinourold treehousebutsomeblackdressed ggrownmenandfemaleweretherea ndkidnappedVinnieandChristhe nweweeabouttogetkidnappedtoo sowesplitupandIdon'tknowhowtheothersare!" I said really fast.
"What?" Felicia asked confused.
"Meandmycousinsweeemadatyoufo rnottellingussowemetinourold treehousebutsomeblackdressed ggrownmenandfemaleweretherea ndkidnappedVinnieandChristhe nweweeabouttogetkidnappedtoo sowesplitupandIdon'tknowhowtheothersare!" I said once again.
"Val, calm down." Felicia told me. I took a deep breath.
"Me and my cousins were mad at you for not telling us so we met in our old treehouse but some black dressed grown men and female were there and kidnapped Vinnie and Chris then we were about to get kidnapped too so we split up and I don't know how the others are!" I told her.
"What? Are you alright? When did this happen? Wait, Vinnie and Chris are kidnapped? I gotta call the others! Sit down and rest. You deserve it." Felicia said.
Midnight's POV
"Doesn't look like they're here either" I said.
"You would think that atleast Chris or Vinnie should be around here" Kate said.
"Let's see… we've checked the park, the mall and now here, where should we go next?" I asked.
"No clue, Jojo." Kate said and we returned to the car to continue our search, suddenly my phone began to ring. I saw on the ID that it was Felicia, I put it on speakers so Kate could hear too.
"Hi Felicia, anything new?" I asked.
"Yeah, Val is here" Felicia said.
"She is?! That's a relief" Kate said.
"I'll tell the others to return, Val seems to have a lot to tell you guys." Felicia said before she hung up.
A while later we all arrived at Leo's and Felicia's place again, I could swear Val was squished to death when Rosie and Mikey hugged her.
"So you were attacked?" Donnie asked.
"Yes, but they had masks and black suits so it was hard to see their faces clearly." Val said.
"Sounds familiar, doesn't it?" Raph said and turned to his brothers.
"It sure does Raphie-boy! I'm surprised you have such a good memory" Mikey said but soon got slapped on his backhead.
"Guys, come on! It's bad enough that our kids are gone, we don't need you two fighting." Felicia said.
"He started!" Both said and pointed to eachother, I facepalmed, sometimes I wonder how old they actually were.
"Why don't we return to the treehouse? Maybe there's some clues" Leo said.
"Seems like a good plan. Let's go." Donnie said and we left for the treehouse. Rosie and Mikey held Val close to them like she was gonna disappear any second but who could blame them? We arrived at the treehouse and searched. It was clear it had been a big fight inside.
"This looks even worse than it did when I left." Valentina said with quilt in her eyes. Rosie hugged her.
"It's not your fault." She said. Leo looked at the floor then picked up a watergun.
"Is that a watergun?" I asked.
"Yeah, it is." Leo answered.
"They probably used it. The floor is a little bit wet." Donnie said.
"Do you smell that?" Kate asked.
"Smell what?" Felicia asked.
"It smells like sleeping gas." Kate said.
"Dat's probably how they made da kids faint and stop fightin'. Damn!" Raph said and hit a wall. I put my hand on his shoulder. He grabbed my hand.
"Val, could you describe the guys who attacked you again?" Leo asked.
"They all looked different but they had black clothes on." Val answered.
"Like ninja clothes?" Felicia asked. Val shooked her head.
"Not really. You could see their faces real clear but I've never seen them before. But they kinda remind me of one guy who attacked me a few nights ago." She said.
"What? You were attacked? Why didn't you tell us?" Mikey asked.
"Well, I managed to kick him where it hurts and I ran home. And the other time I saw him Louis kicked his not so sorry butt." Val said.
"Is there anything more you'd like to tell us?" I asked.
"Well, all of us. Me and my cousins have been attacked before. I was the first one. Then Louis. Kimmie, Alexis and Chelly were attacked at school and on their way home, Chris and Vinnie were attacked." Val told me.
"Why haven't you told us about this?" Rosie asked.
"We all were. That's why we went to your offices but we found our way to your old place and then grandpa Splinter told us about you being turtles we forgot about it. We were that mad." She said looking at the guys.
"Could you try to call your cousins? Maybe they'll answer if it's you who calls." Kate asked. Valentina nodded and dialed Michelle's number. She didn't answer so Val tried Louis number. No answer. The same with Kim and Alexia.
"They're kidnapped too." Donnie said with his head down.
"Where can they be?" Raph asked.
"It's probably the purple dragons. It sounds like them." Mikey said.
"Sorry, Dad but none of them had a dragon tattoo." Val said.
Well I doubt it's the foot." Kate said.
We all sighed and sat down. I thought about the clues. Black dressed grown-ups, spying, good fighters, kidnapping, not the purple dragons or the foot. My eyes grew big. Who could we not have thought of it before?
"Mid, what is it?" Raph asked me.
"I know where the kids are!" I said.
"You do?" Mikey asked surprised.
"Yes it's blinding obvious! It's Bishop you guys!" I said.
"Of course, your dad and Bishop are enemies, right?" Donnie asked.
"Yes they are" I said.
"But wait a sec, how does that goes along with us?" Felicia asked.
"Bishop's been after the guys before, he probably figured out that we are around them a lot. He probably also figured out we got kids and since he and the guys are enemies, how do you break them in the best way?" I said.
"..By taking away what's dear to your enemy" Kate said.
"That's what I call a stalker" Rosie said.
"But you know what surprise me the most?" Kate asked me.
"No, what?" I asked back.
"That you actually was smart for once" Kate said.
"Hey it's not my job to be stupid, it's Mikeys!" I said.
"I'm not stupid! Well….not all the time" Mikey said.
"So this Bishop-guy has my cousins?" Val asked.
"Not for long, we're gonna save the one way or another" Leo said.
