~ Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside . . . okay now I'm starting to scare myself.
On a rooftop, the four turtles stood, watching Melody's apartment. One sighed and turned to go home. Raphael was in lead with the other three trailing behind.
"What's the matter with you guys, don't you want to get home? Raphael asked.
"Yeah, but I feel kind of bad," said Michelangelo.
"For what?" Raphael asked. "You don't mean about that girl do you? Come on, Mikey, guys, we got better things to worry about than some girl."
"Would you say the same thing Raph, if this were April?" Michelangelo asked.
"No, that's different."
"How?" Demanded Michelangelo.
"It just is." Raphael said, and stormed the rest of the way home.
"Well I'm going back," Michelangelo said. Leonardo stopped his brother.
"I would like to go back too Mikey," Leonardo said. "But we have to keep ourselves secret, we can't reveal ourselves to ever pretty woman we meet." Michelangelo sighed.
"I know Leo it's just that," Michelangelo threw his hands in the air. "We met April seven years ago. She can't be the only good human on this planet."
"We just can't take that chance," Leonardo said. Sadly, they all went home and reported to Master Splinter.
"Were you seen my sons?" Master Splinter asked. Even after all these years that was the one question he still asks.
"Yes, sensei, but only because the girl needed help," Leonardo voiced. He then explained how they saw the foot attack this girl in her apartment, intending to rape her. When they untied her and covered her up, she was conscious and saw them.
"So that's the only reason why she saw us," Leonardo finished. Master Splinter nodded understanding.
"You were wise to not go back, but it would not be a bad idea to keep an eye on her," Master Splinter suggested. Just then a news bulletin came onto the TV. April was doing a report on the girl the turtles just rescued.
The sun was in my eyes, keeping me awake. I got up to shut the blinds and heard a knock at my door. Yawning I put on my robe and peeked through the keyhole. It was the media. I opened the door and the news reporter, April asked if she could come in and ask me some questions. I said sure knowing I wouldn't be left alone if I didn't and let her in.
"I am here live with Melody, the newest addition to out Broadway theater," April said into the news camera. She turned to me. "Now Melody, please tell us what happened." I explained how I felt restless and went for a walk only to find a robbery going on. Then how two of them took me home and were going to rape me.
"If it wasn't for four courageous guys, they would have had their way with me." I said. "Where ever they are I just want to say, thank you." April quickly closed the report and dismissed the cameramen.
"Melody, can I ask you a few questions off the record?" April asked.
"Sure," I said.
"Was there anything unusual about the guys that rescued you?"
"Aside from the fact that they got into my apartment with out breaking a window, no, nothing I care to share." I didn't want to reveal that I saw four huge turtles and have the whole city looking for them.
"But did you see what they looked like?" April asked.
"Yes I did, but I'm not sharing that information." I was starting to get annoyed.
"Why not?" April pushed. I was surprised at how hard she was pushing this.
"Because," I stammered trying to think of a response. "Because it's not for me to share." I stood up intending now for April to leave.
"Thank you for your time April, but I must insist that you leave now. I have to rest before tonight's show." She got up and walked to the door.
"What show are you doing?" April asked before walking out the door.
"Dance of the vampires," I said. "Tickets are still on sale. Thank you." I had to all but push her out to close the door. I sighed and went back to bed.
