Chapter # 10: Conditions
"No way! Not me. I can't do that." Mikey protested to what Anna had in mind. "Your father would have my shell."
"Please Uncle Mike," Anna pleaded. "It's my chance to show him that I can be a leader, and that I'm not a little kid any more."
Michelangelo couldn't help but to smile back at his eldest niece. He could remember pleading with his master in the same way.
"Your father needs to be included in your plans to handle this," Mikey insisted.
"Why?" Anna asked a little annoyed. "Do you always have to act as his monkey puppet?"
Mikey was trying hard to keep himself composed. He had to be firm and take responsibility while wanting to laugh and clown around at the same time. He use to have a lot of unauthorized fun with his mission assignments. He felt that Anna had a point, but he knew better than to cross the line with Leo.
Now Anna was asking him to leave her father out of the entire predicament until she could settle the ordeal. She agreed to tell Leo what was going on, but everything was done her way. Didn't that just sound like Leo? Mikey thought.
Mike could understand that his niece wanted to show her father how grown up she could be. However, the whole reason why he was hear was because she hadn't taken care of the problem. Why?
"Anastasia…"
"Please! Please! Please!"
"You keep in contact with me at all times, but I will call Leo if things get out of hand too much," Mikey said. "Now let's get this call over with."
Anna jumped on her uncle, hugging him tightly. Mikey just hoped Leo wouldn't see through this. Mikey had never been good at hiding things from his leader.
