/I'm so sorry about how late this chapter is!! Life kinda took over for a while, plus a really bad bout of writer's block.
Three days. It had been three whole days since the Foot had kidnapped the girls. Mikey was still in full panic mode, despite his brothers attempts to calm him down. The building the girls were being kept in was heavily guarded, So Leo and Donnie were still trying to come up with a strategy to get in. They had a feeling their human disguises might not be enough..
"Why dont we just call Jones and get his guys from the PD to come here?!" Raph said, interrupting the two of them. "We'll have a better chance if we have numbers." Donnie looked over at the leader and shrugged. "Raph does have a point. It's suicidal to try going in alone." Leo sighed. "I know.. I just don't want anyone getting hurt, and the cops showing up could make things worse if we don't plan it right. I know Casey is wanting to get April out of there too, but he'll definitely get himself killed if he's not careful, and we know how he is." Mikey jumped up, looking angry. "Well we have to do something! Who knows what their doing to my Angelcakes in there! And we don't even know if April is alive or not!"
Leo placed a hand on Mikey's shoulder. "I know, Mikey. But if we don't do this right, who knows what'll happen." The blue masked turtle sighed. "But you're right. We do need to work fast if we want them out."
Meanwhile, Anna was being kept somewhere that was similar to a hospital room. She was still being kept strapped down, but at least nobody was actively trying to hurt her. She had since met the "Dr. Stockman" that Karai had mentioned when she got here, and, thankfully, he didn't seem to be as awful towards her as the rest of the Foot. If anything he seemed to be a little sympathetic towards her.
She stared up at the ceiling as he finished up an ultrasound. "Hmm.. Well, looks like she's healthy, at least." Stockman commented. Anna's eyes widened. "S-she?!" Well.. there went the surprise, she thought to herself. "I-it's a girl?" Stockman nodded. "I'm guessing you didn't know, then?" Anna sighed and shook her head. "I.. wanted to be surprised.." She looked away to face the wall. She hated this place so much and just wanted to go home and be with Mikey.
She could feel the baby moving around inside her belly, no doubt sensing how stressed out her mother was. "W-what are you planning to do with us?" Anna asked for what felt like the millionth time since she'd been taken. "If you hurt my baby you'll all regret it, I hope you realize." She said with venom in her voice. She knew the guys would find her eventually, and she already knew how Mikey would react to anyone hurting her, let alone their child.
"I can assure you that Karai wants your child to be alive and healthy, so you don't need to worry about that. I convinced her to keep you around as well since you'll be able to provide milk for her." Stockman started to ramble on about the various testing he would do on the baby, which was only making Anna angrier by the second.
Eventually, she was unstrapped from the table and taken into a cell. She ran and hugged her friend as the door was shut and locked behind her. "April.. We need to find a way out of here! They wanna hurt my baby!"
"We'll find a way out of here, I promise." April said in an attempt to comfort her. She hoped the guys would find them soon. "I won't let them hurt either of you." Anna nodded, though, she didn't feel very convinced. "I just.. I can't believe this is happening.. He.. He said they're gonna experiment on her!"
April frowned and had Anna sit down and calm herself. "The guys will find us, I'm sure of it. We'll get out of here and you'll be able to go home, have the baby and be happy. I promise." Anna sighed and put her head in her hands. "I just want to go home.. I can tell that this stress is getting to her.. a-and I think I'm starting to get those fake labor pains." She gave April a worried look while running a hand over her swollen belly.
April patted her shoulder. "I'm sure it's just stress.. Try to take it easy when you can, alright?" Both women where praying that they would at least be back at home before Anna had the baby, but she was so close to her due date that neither of them where too sure that would be an option..
Once the guys had finally come up with a plan, they stealthed their way to the building. While using their human disguises would have been useful, they all had a good idea that their bulletproof shells would be needed today. "We stick together and we try to find the girls as quickly as we can, and hopefully not be seen." Leo reiterated as they snuck in through a large ventilation system.
"So how are we sneaking them out when we do find them? It's not very safe to have Anna crawling around in the vents." Donnie questioned in a hushed tone. Leo shook his head in frustration. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now we just need to focus on finding them." Mikey started peering through various places in the vents, hoping to find his girlfriend. "Come on, Angelcakes.. where are ya?" He whispered.
