Chapter 24
Softly but heavily breathed in then exhaled, as she wiped the sweat away from her forehead. "What have you gotten yourself into Cammy?" Jules wondered softly then suddenly she had came across a medical report. Raised her brow with suspicion then assumption. "A medical report? Could it be? Nah, she wouldn't hide this from me." Jules stated, as she had strong faith in her mate but then; couldn't resist the temptation to have a peek.
Reading the report of tests results that positively shown that the patient is suffering from leukaemia. Then her eyes widen in disbelief, soon as she saw the name in the patient box. "No…no." she cried. "It can't be." Her cheeks were wet from the hot stream of tears, reading further into the report and then her heart begun to pound and slowly break. "Oh my dearest, my angelic cammy. Why? Why didn't you tell me?" her hands shook frantically, and the deepening feeling of paralysing fear had petrified her. Jules knew that she had to go find her mate, springing up to her feet, collecting her gun with first aid kit and rushed out the door. Completing forgetting to enter the security code as she left the house. "I will find you, baby. And I will do all I can to make you better." She vowed, whilst throwing the cover off from her black kawaski ninja motorcycle and puts her helmet on, before speeding out of the driveway into busy traffic which another driver, honked his horn at her and shouted. "HEY! Watch where you're driving butch!" Jules flicked her finger up over head at the driver and continued on. The driver grunted, frustrated then resumed on his way.

Meanwhile back in the lair, Vivian realised how exhausting and hard it is to train and learn to defend herself like the terrapins, had since they were young. "Let's take a break." The blue clad terrapin suggested. "Have a drink of water." Vivian nodded agreeably. "How did you ever you manage to handle and learn this?" she curiously asked. Leo smiled, wiping the sweat from his forehead and answered. "My brothers and I had been training since we were young and it is all we knew, to survive until we were ready to venture out and do what we can to protect the city."
Returned the smile so admirably and replied. "How is it, nobody knows about you guys? Well I mean, um." She paused and scratched her head then resumed. "Least the city has guardian angels, to protect the innocent." Leonardo smiled and chuckled lightly then answered the best he could. "Only our enemies know about us as we do try to keep the city protected to the best of our advantages and stop the cities criminals in their tracks."
"Who are the enemy?" she asked. "There are quite a few. The new York mob, purple dragons and the foot clan."
"Never knew there were so many." She stated, then sighed. "Yes there certainly are. But then, we might be out of a job. If they were to retire which we could too." He chuckled, smiling. Vivian chuckled as well then replied. "The main thing is that you are here to protect the citizens of new York and stop the bad guys. If only I knew you…" she paused and clasped her hands together, looking to the floor. "If only you knew we existed, right?" he finished the sentence for her. Vivian nodded and answered. "Yes."
The blue clad terrapin sighed and gently embraced the young woman, softly assured her. "We are here now. I am sorry that we can not change the past but hopefully can forge a better future." Her tiny arms draped around him, returning the embrace as she exhaled softly and said with gratitude. "Thankyou, leo."
"Come on, lets get something to eat and drink before the next lesson. Shall we?" he smiled, lifting her chin as she smiled warmly back and nodded then walked with the blue clad terrapin into the kitchen and when they arrived to the room, Vivian's facial expression changed from subtle and calm to terrifying and worried as she rushed to the orange clad terrapin's side and snatched the disposable cutlery away from his hand. "No! Don't use that, please!"
This had frightened both terrapins but Leonardo was more concerned to as why she reacted like she had over a plastic fork. "Why? What did I do wrong?" mikey answered, blinked Shockley. Vivian quickly threw the plastic cutlery and plate away in the bin as she had forgotten to do so when they had dinner, earlier that evening. Only one thing she said in reply before scurrying away to the laboratory, leaving both terrapins in the kitchen; baffled to what they had witnessed as they didn't understand exactly what just happened. "I'm sorry." Vivian cried before running out of the kitchen. "What was all that about?" Mikey wondered. Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and replied finally. "I have no idea."
"Should we ask?" mikey wondered as he scratched his head, waiting for a reply but Leonardo was too occupied with his thoughts to answer as he glared out the doorway of the kitchen. "Leo?" mikey called softly again then finally, the blue clad terrapin glanced back to his baby brother and answered. "Hmm? Sorry mikey, what did you ask again?"
"I asked, should we ask?" mikey repeated his question. Leo sighed his exhaling breathe softly and shook his head, finally answered. "No. I suggest we shouldn't presume the situation, until she is ready."
"Uh, ok." Mikey obeyed then returned in the kitchen and resumed, making his meal before the interruption. Leo left the kitchen and returned the dojo, where he resumed his training and meditation.
