Just to catch those of my readers up who had some questionable thoughts. Leo and Kira dont know the other likes the other yet. Leo wants to tell her but is holding back, for reasons you'll find out later. Thats why hes mentally asking for more time. . . any questions class?
It was 8:00 at night, the guys agreed to meet up at the top of the roof near the girls pent house apartment. After they had gotten out of the lair okay. Leo told everyone that they were going on patrol, which technically wasn't a lie. They were just stopping by the hospital . . .While on patrol. Master Splinter knew the plans, Although he expressed recent thoughts about the girls, not knowing the predicament, which could cause problems in the future. Leo didn't tell Kira about the suspicions in the hospital. Mikey told Gwen not to wait up for him. Don told Elisa he was going on Patrol and that he'd be back before Dawn, Elisa understood and told him to be safe. Raph took Lynn to work her shift at the bar. He didn't want to leave just incase the foot or the Pd's showed up under orders to stalk her, but he promised Leo he'd help out, and it had been awhile since he went on patrol with his brothers.
"Wheres Raph? We agreed 8:30" Leo said pacing a little, while watching the city below. Michelangelo was playing with a Yo-Yo, and Don was thinking while observing the girls' empty apartment from afar. They had fixed the windows, and replaced the doorframe, the messed cleaned up. Now all that was needed was the girls to replace some furniture and move back in. If they could. . . Donny thought to himself.
"Way to be late Raphael" Michelangelo Teased the red bandanna'd turtle.
"Hey shell for brains I had some business to take care of" Raphael pointed, then looked to Leo
"Alright Fearless lets do dis" Raph said cracking his neck muscles.
"Alright, Don did you get blueprints to the hospital?" Leo asked. Don pulled up his small tech tab.
"I've located the main offices and marked off which parts of the hospital are patient rooms, and which are for the Dr's and Nurses, and other staff" Don said pushing a few buttons which marked off red dots on spots they should check.
"So like ,when we get in there how are we gonna check the files and emails and stuff?" Mikey asked.
"I called ahead for a . . .distraction" Don smirked.
"So we could access the hospitals main frame and see if any emails were sent out about kira" Don explained the first part of the plan.
"What if it wasn't by email?" Mikey asked.
"Then the best we can do is search around for people who might possiblly be connected to the Pd's or the foot" Don explained.
"Wouldn't searching through emails take too long? We only have a small time window, IF our distraction holds up" Leo said crossing his arms.
"Quick Question . . .whats our distraction" Michelangelo asked scratching his head.
"Give ya one guess" Raph chuckled.
"HELP I NEED HELP IM DYING! I'M GOING CRAZY! SOMEBODY ANYBODY DO SOMETHIN!"
Casey Jones ran into the hospital shouting and holding his head, falling all over the place like a drunkard. The guys watching this from glass windows above, were ready to crawl in once the distraction worked. They all were trying not to bust a gut watching Casey's performance.
"Nice Distraction Don" Mikey chuckled.
"This one is all Casey" Don shook his head.
"GIVE ME DRUGS! GIVE ME A SHOT ! WAIT NO NO SHOTS! AAAAHHHHHH" Casey held his head knocking over everything on the office womans desk. She was dialing the phone calling for help to secure the man to find out what was wrong with him.
"PLEASE I"M GOING CRAZY, THE PAIN! Wait . . Grandma? IS that you Grandma . . .I SEE THE LIGHT GRANDMA! I"M COMIN! YOUR GRAND BABY IS COMIN HOME!" Casey ran like a mad man down a hallway, everyone in the room ran to chase him.
"Bingo"
"I gotta hand it to Casey, hes a shell of an actor" Mikey said falling to land a perfect dismount from the window. Don followed, Raph stayed above to watch for any on lookers. Leo and Don went behind the computer desk to connect, Mikey went to onlook the hallway the staff chased Casey down.
"If I could connect my tech tab to the computer and use the administrator profile I could possibly search through all the emails sent around the time Kira was here at once. Just putting in tag words for the emails to be searched through" Don said hooking up his equipment.
"What time did we bring Kira in?" Don asked.
"Id say around 10:30" Leo said remembering.
"What time did we leave?" Don asked typing in more information.
"Around 11:45" Leo recalled.
"Just to type in her full name, her injury and inquiry, the time we got here and left . . .Maybe . . ."
"How do you know it was an email and not text?" Leo asked Don.
"The signal my tech tab is going to use should pick up on it, if not . . .We could go around the building searching for the same frequency which . . ."
"Hey guys, 10 o clock! Their done chasing the crazy" Mikey said running towards them. Don quickly unhooked his tab and all three leapt from the desk to the wall to the open window, which Raph shut once they were on the roof. The staff reconvened heaving on their knees. Raph got a call from Casey on his cell shell.
"You guys owe me big time" Casey complained.
"Why? Ya didn't get a lollipop with ur visit?" Raph joked.
"Ha ha Raph, I can't show my face at this hospital again, not unless I want a giant needle stuck up my-"
"thanks Casey we'll take it from here" leo said interrupting
"'sides, you gotta proposal to practice on" Raph chuckled hanging up on Casey.
"So didja get anythin?" Raph asked.
"Yes and No" Don said looking at his tech tab
"Uh-oh, is this gonna be like one of those good news bad news things?" Mikey asked.
"Give us the good news first Don" Leo suggested.
"Alright . . .I couldn't track an email, but there was a text signal my tech tab recieved from the satellite of the hospital, and I got the cell phone frequency" Don smiled.
"But" Mikey started for him.
"We dont know which phone it came from,We'd have to find the same phone and match its frequency to be able to find who sent it"
"Could you read the text?" Leo asked.
"Not until I match it, then it wouldn't be encrypted, its not enough information for my tab to make sense of" Don said putting the tab away.
"So how we gonna find it?" Raph asked a little aggressively.
"We can split up and check out the employees, see if any of them act suspicious, or if they pull out a phone" Leo said thinking straight, he was determined, and nothing stopped him once he was set on something.
"Alright, I'm putting a frequency recorder on the shell cells, so if someone takes out their phone press the call button, You should hear some static or a ring. Call my cell and I'll check to see if its a match or not" Don said handing everyone back their phones.
"I'll take the north edge where Kira's room was" Leo said pocketting his cell
"I'll take the east by the nurses stations, and cafeteria" Don said.
"I'll take the west part" Raph said heading off without them finishing.
"Guess I'll take the rest" Mikey shrugged with a smirk.
(Cell code)
"This is Turtle Titan to Dr. Neuron, come in" Mikey said in his shell cell.
"Mikey since when did we come up with code names?" Don asked.
"Don, havent you watch the spy movies, its basic walkie talkie talk, just go with it" Mikey argued back.
"Alright Mikey , I mean uh . . .Turtle Titan . . (Rolls eyes) What do you got?" Don said his tech tab out at the ready.
"I got a janitor with a nice looking cell phone" Mikey said sending it in.
"Mikey . . .Just because the guy has a nice cell phone doesnt mean hes the bad guy" Don interjected.
"Are you kidding me, how can a janitor at a hospital afford a blackberry touch? I make about the same he does workin' birthday parties, with tips" Mikey shook his head believing this was common sense.
"Nope , no match Mikey" Don said after checking it and running the frequency through. Their was a sigh at the end of the line and Mikey hung up.
"Hey Donny I got one" A quiet brooklyn accented voice called.
"Employee?" Don asked starting the frequency check.
"Nah just a doctor, in a lab coat" Raph replied. The frequency check came out negative.
"No match Raph" Don said turning off the check.
"Keep trying Guys" Leo said to them all through the talkie.
Leo scanned the windows and hallways. Watching for anyone who might pull out a phone. Two nurses walked into the restroom at the same time. Another one followed.
"Why do girls go to the bathroom at the same time?" Leo asked himself quietly. A doctor passed by and another nurse pulling someone in a wheelchair . . .This was going to be a long night.
"Turtle Titan to Hot head, come in Hot head" Mikey Chuckled.
"Whaddaya want shell for brains" Raph replied back aggressively.
"Uhm I believe HOT HEAD the code name is Turtle Titan, and second . . .get anyone else yet?" Mikey asked calming his voice, he wanted to find the person as much at the others did, the closer they got , the more assurance he would have that Gwen and the others would be safe.
"Nah, All I got on my end are patients and some Docta Assistance, Nobody's pulling their phones out" Raph replied back gruffly.
"What about you Doni get anybody?" Raph asked into the cell on Dons frequency so Mikey could hear.
"Nope, no ones in the cafeteria, and the nurses quarters are sparse because their out to other parts of the building" Doni replied keeping a sharp eye for the people at the computers, and others cleaning.
"Turtle Titan to Blue Guardian, Hows it lookin' over there" Mikey asked on Leo's frequency of the shell cell.
"I'm waiting for some nurses to come out of the bathroom, other than that, just busy doctors and patients" Leo said feeling less hopefull than before, but still determined. He sighed shaking his head, there must be a cellphone policy in the hospital but whoever sent that text to let the foot know about Kira didnt have much care for the rule.
"Blue Guardian this is Turtle Titan, I got a Red head nurse headed your way, shes got a . . .tattoo on her arm" Mikey said into the cell.
"Thats a 10-4 there . . .Turtle Titan . . .I'll keep an eye out" leo said leaning against the side again. Unless this nurse has her phone out he wouldn't be able to-
A flash of red hair came into view from the corner, one of the nurses who was last out of the bathroom stopped to talk to her. The one mikey described was skinny, small with red hair. and a tribal looking tattoo on her arm. they talked for a minute while the red head seemed to be mad about something, the brunette nurse walked away. The red head looked behind her leaning against the wall. There it was, a pink cellphone. She pulled it out looking around, and Leo got his shell cell ready.
"Don, I got a pink cell phone from a red head nurse, the one Mikey said came from his part of the building" Leo said sending in the frequency. He could hear static, almost some talking while the red head talked on her phone. There was a moments pause, Leo watched her, she looked around. He ducked a little before her head tilted up to reach the windows. as if . . .she was searching for someone watching. She pocketted the cell phone and then in a fast walk headed down the hallway.
"Leo Its a match!" Don said into the cell tuned into everyones frequency.
"Finally!" Raph said into his.
"Its always the skinny cute ones you gotta look out for" Mikey shook his head.
"Everyone re-convene near my part of the building, were gonna follow her" Leo said into his, chasing after the red head, using his vision through the windows to not lose sight of her. She was the link.
"Looks like shes done with her shift" Raph said nodding to them, watching the red head clock out, put on a black jackett , then start to walk by the south exit towards the employee parking lot they were standing ontop of the exit doorway.
"The frequency matched the same one that the text was sent around the time Kira was put under Antibiotics. I'm trying to decode the text now".
"Donny, do you remember seeing her?" Leo asked.
Donatello took a long look at the Nurse before the remembrance hit him like a ton of bricks. That was the same nurse that asked Leo to move, he was pacing in front of the nurses station, and leo thinking she was Kiras nurse asked her " Is she Okay?" .
"Shes that Nurse that asked you to move" Don remembered. They watched her go to her car, it was a green ford taurus.
"Mikey Write down the liscense plate" Leo said quicklly Since Mikey had the binoculars.
"Easy to remember" Mikey said shaking his head.
"Hows it easy to rememba someones lisence plate number?" Raph asked a little doubtfull.
"It says SuprStar, and shes got a . . .necklace or something on the rearview mirror" Mikey observed.
"Come on, we can follow her in the battle shell" Don said while they leapt to run out to the vehicle.
"Raph you take the shell cycle to be sure, we can't lose her" Leo said while Raph went into the back of the 'moving van'.
They followed behind a safe distance, taking slow turns and cutting just to conceal that they were following. Raphael bursted from the back on his red shell cycle, red helmet and all. Following from a different distance on the other side of the alleys to keep up on the roads. She was speeding a considerable distance.
"Hey guys were in a . . .not so friendly part of town, try ta keep a low profile wouldya?" Raph said into his shell cell recognizing the area they were in.
The ford Taurus pulled up by a gate, the rest surrounded by chainlink fence.
"Guys isn't this the place where?-" Mikey trailed off.
"Figures" Raph snorted into the phone.
"So then shes a . . ."
"Purple Dragon" Leo finished, he hated purple dragons. A small rage he himself would match Raphael in. This girl was a purple Dragon, she gave the three finger salute to the guards at the gate to the warehouse. They let her in. They remembered coming here with Angel to save Casey, After Angel tried to be initiated in, Casey got caught trying to get her out before her 'new family' caved her head in. Hun caught Casey and this was the same warehouse the cage fights were in. Leo's teeth clenched . . .She was the one that called in about Kira.
"Hey guys that Text is almost done decoding, I can get the same one in just a moment. Getting her frequency I could tap into her phone records" don said typing then reading.
"The one called Kira showed up here, came in with three others. Tall male black shoulder length hair, brown eyes. Slightly one inch taller male, brown hair light brown eyes , and the one called Elisa". Don finished reading.
"Sent at 10:52 P.M" mikey finished reading.
"Read the next one Don" Mikey pointed while Don pulled the next one up.
"Blondie left, severe fever and flu shots, two others showed up, red headed green eyed female, and Tall built black bluish haired Male dark eyes. . .No sign of the freaks" Don finished looking up at Leo who watched that ford Taurus dissappear into the shadows. . . Where they should be.
"Hey dudes, they dont know it was us" Mikey gave a thumbs up, happy the molecular devices were still safe to use.
"Yes but . .. that wont stop the foot or the Purple Dragons from following the girls, or keep using them as leads"
"They have to give up sometime right?" Michelangelo asked motioning hands for support.
"I wouldn't count on it Mikey" Raphaels voice came from behind the van he pulled up on the ramp parking the shell cycle in the back and coming up front. Leo didn't say anything, his eyes still on the area where the car dissappeared.
"Leo?" Don asked.
"Lets go home" Leo said finally buckling in but still not taking his eyes off.
"Hey Doni, drop me off at Lobos Den, I'm gonna ride with Lynn home" Raph said giving directions. It would be about the time she would be getting off anyway.
They dropped him off and he waited in the flat bed of the truck. taking a quick look through the window, he saw her and her friend dancing on the bar. Lynn was in a t-shirt, her hair loose and down, tight ripped jeans and her boots.
Lynn closed up sending the few drunk people left towards the direction where cabs were waiting to take them home. Lynnette sighed it was a long night but the pay was good. reaching the truck in the back alley, a shadow moved and she froze.
"Boo"
"(chuckle) So terrifying"
"Didn' scare ya huh?" He asked smirking getting really close to her face. She leaned up and kissed him.
"The only thing I'm scared of is that I could be absolutely furious with you , and you could still get me to kiss you" She replied back smoothly.
The ride back was nice, she asked about his night and he said it went well, told her how many perps they took out on patrol, and even stopped a robbery. Which technically wasn't a lie , on the way back they busted a small convenient store robbery tying the two perps together and strung them up to a light pole where the police would find them after an 'Anonymous phone call' Starring Mikey and his Granny voice with a payphone. He laughed hearing Lynns story of the drunk guy who got a right hook to the face for hitting her butt. Lynn felt the wad of cash in her pockett and reminded herself of what she needed to get. She couldn't do it with her with him though. They passed some streets with christmas lights.
"Thanksgivings done, now Christmas" Lynn said looking up at the blow up Santa in someones shop it smiled and waved at all passerby.
Raph thought about how this would be his first Christmas with her, and then another thought hit him . . .He had to get her something . . .and it had to be . . .kinda special.
"Holiday Rush in New York" Raph shook his head, dreading the onslaught of traffic and gift rush, but loved the feeling, just not admitting it. That family together feeling.
(Happily nerdish)
Elisa was singing a song to herself getting out of the shower. Don made the tracking bracelets waterproof so no worries about keeping it clean. She walked in and wrapped a blanket around herself. There was light snorring coming from the computer desk. Elisa stopped and smiled to herself. Don was sleeping just a tiny bit away from the computer screen, his hand on the keyboard lightly. If she woke him up he would undoubtedly go to the kitchen area, make some coffee and just work some more. She looked down at the tracking bracelet on her wrist. Taking off the blanket and putting it on him. She turned off the lamps, and the computer monitor. Crawling into her own bed.
"Oh Don" She giggled dozing off to sleep.
(S8ter boi)
"Yeah, with extra pepperoni, and I'll pay for the special cut" Gwen smiled. Mikey just got back from patrol and they all looked tired. As soon as he got back she let him relax on the couch to play video games, while she ordered pizza. Gwen felt like showing a little extra affection lately. She sat behind him on the couch while he relaxed on the floor and rubbed his shoulders. That tracking bracelet on her wrist was rubbing slighting against his skin and he could feel it.
"So how was patrol?" Gwen asked innocently.
"Long, and booorrrriiinnngggg" He leaned his head back in her lap, she smiled down at him.
"Catch any bad guys" Gwen asked teasingly.
"Robbery, Sure they had guns, but they werent like these guns" He said showing off his biceps.
"Oh My Hero" Gwen kissed him on the forehead. He smiled, his baby blue eyes looking into her light brown ones.
"I'll be right back, I'm picking up pizza" Gwen got up winking at him. He watched her skip away in her tight jeans, one with a perfect hole over the right leg, and his orange sweatshirt a little baggy on her, but absoutely adorable. Her Nike Kicks skipping along with her. He played his video game, street fighter 2, but kept thinking about Gwen, and the vision of her walking away in his mind. He would be lying if he said he wasn't . . .thinking about it . . .
"Pizza for the conquering hero?" Gwen giggled handing him the box while he paused the game. "So what didja get?" He asked opening the box. He stopped and admired it for a moment.
"Awww" He let out , it was a heart shaped pizza with extra pepperoni, pineapple, sausage, canadian bacon, mushrooms, extra cheese, and a heart shaped Pepperoni in the middle. He looked up at his girlfriend who leaned down and hugged him.
"Babe its beautifull" He sniffled.
"Only you could think a pizza is beautifull" Gwen giggled.
"Wanna know what else is beautifull?" He asked. Gwen giggled into a quick kiss. She held in a squeak of surprise when he picked her up and ran towards the bedroom. She kicked laughing, When she felt herself land on the bed. He started tickling her and she had to use a pillow to muffle the laughing.
(Another sleepless night)
Kira coughed in her sleep, her flu had gone but was left with a small cough, which Leo hoped it wouldn't escalate into some sort of hacking cough. She was asleep on his bed and was just . . .checking on her. Her blonde hair meshed against the pillow, the small night light against the corner of the room gave a faint glow against her sillhouette. Her Ipod was on, and the buds against the pillow , it was paused. He quietly picked it up wondering what she had been listening to. It was on reply for the same song.
"I'll be your Sunset: By Rocket to the Moon"
He put the buds under his mask to listen. He smirked softly at the soft tone which matched her perfectly. He could almost see her dancing to it.
Case Closed I'm not
Here anymore
I'm not scared anymore
The way you walked away I could tell
You werent afraid
To do the things you had to do
Even though I meant so much to you . . .
But darlin' where you goin'
Its so cold outside
I know that I can't be concerned
But your still in my life
He knew he shouldn't be concerned but he couldn't help it. He felt as thought she needed him, he . . wanted her to need him.
when I am Miles away
Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright
Just tell me we will be
Together someday
Its in the dreams I have
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my Silhouette
Just take my hand and we'll
Never let go because
If were together now
We'll be together then
Step back and see me walk away
There were time where he walked away when there was more he wanted to say . . .he wondered . . .Does she know that? Does she sense that at all?
And watch me Run right back
I'll show you how to love again
this is the best Idea I've had
(this is the best Idea I've had)
When I am miles away
Will you still check on me
Tell me things will be alright
Just tell me we will be
Together someday_
Its in the dreams I have
I'll be your sunset
If you'll be my Silhouette
(If you'll be my Silhouette)
I'll be your sunset, if you'll be my Silhouette
I'll be your sunset, if you'll be my Silhouette
I'll be your sunset, If you'll be my Silhouette
I'll be your sunset If you'll be my Silhouette
I'll be your sunset If you'll be my Silhouette . . .
I'll be your sunset, If you'll be my silhouette
He thought of the issue at hand, blocking what he really wanted to do . . .what he really wanted to say. How much longer? Would she even accept it? What if she didn't see him that way, just as a friend? He could mull over so many questions, things he'd been meditating over for hours, nights . . .Even during dinner at Thanksgiving. She moved slightly in her sleep while the song continued.
When I am Miles away Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright
Just tell me we will be
Together someday
Its in the dreams I have
I'll be your sunset If you'll be my Silhouette
when I am Miles away Will you still check on me?
Tell me things will be alright
Just tell me we will be
Together someday . . .
Its in the dream I have
I'll be your sunset If you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your sunset if you'll be my silhouette
I'll be your Sunset if you'll be my silhouette_
