Me: well, this one has some interesting stuff in it. Good news too.

Chapter 10

The news

It's been a week since Raph said that Chloe could stay with them and his arm was almost healed. Chloe was shocked at how fast he healed.

"Mutant genes. Gotta love em." He said. She smiled and helped him out of the sling.

"I'd still be careful around that arm if I were you." She warned. He nodded and together they left. Raph stuck to the shadows as they looked around for a man hole, and Chloe hid behind any item that could actually hide her. It was early morning so not a lot of people were out but they couldn't be more careful.

"Why are you hiding? You look like a human right now." Raph whispered in her ear.

"Yeah, but just about every one knows what my human half looks like. Cant be too careful, eh?" she said with a small smile. He nodded in agreement.

"Hey, how's that one?" he asked, pointing to a man hole in the middle of the street. Chloe looked up and down the road and motioned him to follow. There weren't any cars coming so they hurried out. Chloe went first and Raph stayed in the shadows. A news team helicopter went above her and she tried to get it up faster, nearly dropping it on her foot. Before either of them knew it, a delivery truck was heading towards Chloe.

"CHLOE GET DOWN!" Raph yelled, diving out of the shadows, pushing her out of the way and getting knocked away by the truck. He rolled down the road but lucky for him the truck wasn't going very fast.

"Raph!" Chloe screamed, running over to him. He stood up and grabbed her arms, pulling her down into the sewer. A thought struck him when they jumped in.

"LEO, I'M COMIN' HOME!" he screamed as they went in. Now he was just hoping Leo was watching, because he was pretty sure they were recording.

"R-Raph, are you ok?" she asked. Her voice was shaking in fear. He nodded.

"My shell absorbed the blow. I'll be fine." He said. She nodded and together they headed down the sewer.

"Yo Leo, you gotta see this!" Mikey called from the living room. Leo rushed in.

"What is it?" he asked. Mikey pointed to the television. Leo looked and saw that they were watching the news. It was a shot from a helicopter looking down to the street and focused on a girl trying to open up a man hole.

"It appears that the neighbor hood terror I trying to make a run for it today." Said the reporter in the helicopter.

"Is there any reason why you think she's running?" asked the one in the news room.

"We can honestly saw that we have no idea why she's going down there." Said the reporter.

"Mikey, what is this all about?" Leo asked.

"Keep watching. Don't you want to know why she's going down there?" Mikey asked. Leo didn't say anything but sat down. He had to admit he was curious.

"Oh man! There's a truck heading right for her!" the reporter exclaimed. Leo could here Mikey hold his breath. Leo jumped out of his seat at what he saw next. The report screamed when she saw Raph jump out of no where, knock the girl out of the way and get hit by the truck.

"What the shell! Is that…Raph!" Leo exclaimed. Mikey's jaw dropped.

"What the…that lizard creature is alive!" the reporter said. Raph got up and pulled the girl down in the sewers with him.

"LEO, I'M COMIN' HOME!" the turtle screamed, but it wasn't very loud to them. Leo couldn't really understand it.

"Well, that solves our little terror, but now we have to worry about giant lizard creatures. This is Mary Lee, and this will be my last report. I quit." Said the reporter.

"Hey, we're turtles, not lizards!" Mikey said, throwing his popcorn at the TV. Leo looked at him, and then at the door way when he heard a dry laugh. Donnie was standing in the doorway, looking at him.

"Donnie…I…I'm sorry." Leo said quietly. Donnie walked over and patted his shoulder as he passed. His way of saying apology accepted.

"The question is, what was Raph doing with that girl?" he said as he sat on the couch.

"Is it possible he would do anything bad with her?" Mikey asked.

"Not Raph. He wouldn't do that. But that does make me wonder." Leo mumbled the last part.

"What did he say as he jumped in?" Donnie asked, scratching his chin as he thought.

"It was kinda hard to understand. It sounded like lo I'm comic lone." Leo said, sitting next to him. Donnie repeated it quietly over and over again. He perked up and snapped his finger.

"I got it! He said Leo I'm coming home!" Donnie said happily.

"Then we got to go look for him." Leo said. The others agreed and then saw Splinter walk in.

"I believe you have a brother to find." He said. The others all took that as permission to go out and look.
