Samantha Sheperd took the key and closed the door of the office when
Shredder and April went in.
"No way out without my permission", she stated. "Now prove your words, Miss!", she said to April, motioning towards a television set.
April put the cassette in and turned the VCR on. "Those pictures had been taken the day your brother died", was her comment.
Samantha and Shredder just stared at the screen in disbelief - someone appeared in front of the building's main entrance, someone both of them knew.
"Baxter Stockman?!" Shredder shook his head - it was absolutely impossible! "But how did he? We've sent him to Dimension X...", he went on, but suddenly stopped. The gap in his memory was now filled and the thought that crossed his mind was horrible but true...
Samantha was still watching the video, seeing that Baxter obviously had placed a bomb in the corridor. "Oh, I've been such a damn idiot!", she said. "Now everything's clear to me - Baxter has made a plan and this incident was part of his scheme."
April looked at Shredder then at Samantha, not knowing what both of them were talking about. "Err... what's going on here?"
"We've got a problem, I'd say", Shredder replied.
"No, this damn fly has got one!", Samantha broke in.
"You don't know Baxter. Judging by what he did in the last few weeks, I guess he's absolutely sure he can win. And in my opinion he is right in this assumption."
"So you'll let him win, eh?!" Samantha gave Shredder an angry look. To April's astonishment she wasn't even ashamed of having blamed him for a crime he hadn't committed - her behaviour was as aggressive as before.
"There's a difference between letting him win and making a logical decision. If we tried to stop him now he surely would be in the better position."
"Hey, I am not planning to stick around here", she replied. "There will be a way to do something about him."
"Fine, then do what you want!", he replied. "But I'm going to leave right now."
Samantha Sheperd rolled her eyes at him. "You're still the same irrational man. There's no chance for a change", she said. "Leave, if you want to , but one thing's for sure: You will run right into Baxter's trap."
Shredder turned away from here, opened the door and left without a word.
April decided to go to the turtles as fast as possible, but Shredder stopped her and said: "By the way, Miss O'Neil, you're not leaving." She started screaming hysterically and he covered her mouth. "Be quiet!", he demanded. "There's no need to scream at all." Noticing that she calmed down he loosened his grip. "I want to talk to the turtles, that's all", he said.
"Can't you just leave?! Do you think I have come here to support your evil plans?"
"You foolish lady", he replied. "What I have to tell them is important. Baxter is a danger for all of us and if you want to do something against him, you'll come with me now."
April hesitated, but giving his words a second thought she slowly nodded. "Well, I will do so, but I really hope it's useful."
"It definitely is. And now hurry up. What Baxter is planning might be finished soon and we haven't got much time left."
"No way out without my permission", she stated. "Now prove your words, Miss!", she said to April, motioning towards a television set.
