At his hideout, Bonesteel put Ashton in the strong cage that he
bought.
He grinned as he looked at her lying unconsciously in the cage. He then put down his tranquilizer gun and walked off.
At the Turtle lair, Mikey's stomach was growling.
"Man, where's Ashton? I'm hungry!" he said.
"I hope she didn't run off to Quease's lab." said Leo.
"I sincerely doubt it. Ashton and I have spoken about that." said Splinter.
"So where is she then?" asked Leo.
Donny went straight to his computer. He booted up the "eye in the sky" program, and began searching for her.
"Hm." said Donny.
"Did you find anything?" asked Venus.
"Yeah, I found her on 34th Street, but she's stationary, and she's a good while's away from the pizza place where she usually gets pizza for us from." said Donny.
"That's not like her to just wander off like that . . . she's in trouble." said Raph.
"Definitely." said Donny.
"We gotta get 'er, but I can't fight well on an empty stomach." said Mikey.
"There's a slice of pizza from last week in the fridge you can eat Mikey, let's just go." said Raph.
"Really? Cool!" said Mikey, then he went to the fridge.
"Hey wait, that was my penicillin experiment!" said Donny.
Mikey didn't hear him, and went to eating the pizza.
"Ugh." said Splinter in disgust.
"Oh gosh. Well, look at the bright side, now he'll be protected from infection for a while." said Donny.
"Uh, yeah, let's just go." said Raph. Then he grabbed his sai off the weapon's rack, and began leaving.
"Remember Raphael, no motorcycle." said Splinter.
Raph let out a deep, heavy sigh, then just continued walking.
Leo snickered as they all began leaving.
Venus hit Leo for snickering.
The Turtles made it to 34th Street, and looked around.
"I don't get it, I don't see Ashton anywhere around here." said Leo.
Raph looked up at an abandoned building. "I think I know where she is."
"Where?" asked Mikey.
Raph pointed at the building.
"Why would she be in there?" asked Donny.
"There's only one way to find out." said Raph as he began walking towards the building.
The others followed.
Inside was dark and smelled wet and musty. They could hear rodents scurrying and squeaking in the darkness.
"Man, this place wreaks!" said Mikey, waving his hand in front of his nose.
"Ashton? Ashton?" called Venus.
There was no reply, so they searched throughout the building.
Just then, Venus stopped. "Wait." she said.
"What?" asked Leo.
"I hear someone coming." she said.
Everyone stood silent, and heard footsteps. The footsteps went into the next room.
"Come on, let's go the other way." said Leo.
They then went in the opposite direction of the footsteps.
After a while, they reached the roof.
There, they looked around.
"Look! There she is!" said Raph. He and the others went over to the cage where Ashton, still unconscious, was in.
"Oh man, he got her _again_." said Mikey.
"We've gotta get her out. Anyone have a lock pick or something?" asked Leo.
Raph took his pocket knife out, and handed it to Leo.
Leo looked at it for a moment. "I won't even ask *why* you have this thing." He then put the knife in the lock, and began trying to pick it.
Suddenly, a loud alarm went off.
Ashton twitched in the cage.
The Turtles looked around frantically.
"Whoa, what's that?" asked Mikey.
They heard running, and soon saw Bonesteel on the roof. He quickly picked up a gun and went over to them. "Trying to steal 'er again, huh? Not this time freaks!"
"Turtles, vanish!" said Leo.
The Turtles got up, and began running to the fire escape.
Bonesteel fired the gun at them.
A dart hit Mikey, and he fell to the ground.
"Mikey!" exclaimed Leo. He and the others ran over to pick him up.
Bonesteel fired it again, this time hitting Venus.
She dropped, and Leo grabbed her before she fell off the roof.
"Man, how're we gonna carry two tranquilized Turtles?" complained a distressed Donny.
"Tranquilized? Hah! This ain't no tranquilizer shellbacks, this is my top of the line poison dart gun." said Bonesteel with an evil grin.
"Uh oh." said Raph.
Bonesteel began loading the gun up again, as the Turtles ran off, dragging Mikey and Venus.
They traveled down the fire escape, trying to hold onto Mikey and Venus.
Raph tripped over Venus' arm, and lost his balance, falling off of the fire escape. He was holding onto Mikey, which caused him to fall too. Since Donny was holding onto Mikey, he also fell. A chain reaction caused all of them to fall off of the fire escape halfway down it.
Seeing Bonesteel appear over the edge of the building with his reloaded poison dart gun, the Turtles ran off, straight down the nearest manhole.
Underground, they stood breathing hard.
"Man, he almost got all of us." said Leo.
"Hurry, there's no time for catching our breath, Venus and Mikey are in serious danger." said Donny.
They all then ran off home.
Bonesteel stood on his rooftop, looking very pleased with himself. He set his poison dart gun down on a crate. Then he turned to look at Ashton. She was still unconscious; the tranquilizer knocked her out very well.
Bonesteel than looked at the sky. "Its gonna be light soon, I better keep this one indoors." he said. Then he walked over and picked up the handle to a wheeled thing under the cage, and began pulling it towards the ramp that led to the top floor.
Inside there, he set the cage down, and put a cover over it, then walked off.
He grinned as he looked at her lying unconsciously in the cage. He then put down his tranquilizer gun and walked off.
At the Turtle lair, Mikey's stomach was growling.
