-Three weeks later -
April was on her way home when she noticed a sound like something had smashed into her car. The next moment her car was pulled to a stop. It took her a moment to realize that she didn't get away by accelerating, so she finally stopped her attempts and got out.
"So nice to see you, Miss O'Neil", Shredder said, making a gesture towards his foot soldiers. Two of them grabbed April.
"Hey, hey... what do you want?", April asked, struggling like crazy.
"What do you think, eh?!", Shredder replied.
Clipper watched them a bit irritated. He tried to figure out a reason for what Shredder was doing - but he really couldn't find one.
"Why are you staring at her?", Shredder interrupted his thoughts. "We've to go back."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
"Have a nice stay", Shredder said sarcastically, when they arrived at the Technodrome. "I'm sure you'll enjoy this. And don't worry, your turtle friends will show up soon." He paused for a second, then went on. "In the meantime my assistant will take care of you."
April gave a gasp of fear when Clipper entered the room, a small dagger in his right hand.
"You're responsible until I come back. And don't make any mistakes!", Shredder said, before he left the room and locked the door.
April still stared at him.
"What's wrong with you? You look scared", he finally said. "Your friends will get in trouble when they come here." He tossed the dagger aside to show her that he wasn't going to hurt her.
"Yeah, and that's what you want...", she murmured. "Great, just go on with this..."
"Well, why should I stay here?", he asked.
"Because Shredder has the keys and because he ordered you to do so."
He smiled, then went over to April. "Just come with me. I have keys, too."
In the corridor, Clipper watched out for the Foot soldiers. "No one here", he stated. "So let's leave."
When they arrived in New York, April still couldn't believe what had happened.
"Why?", she simply asked.
"Why what?"
"Why did you help me? We are enemies..."
"How could I be the enemy of someone as beautiful as you?"
"Oh... I..." April's heartbeat increased.
"Don't speak", he said. "Just don't speak." He picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What about a walk in the park?", he asked.
"Wherever you want..."
In the Central Park he let April down again. Standing in the pouring rain, she looked up. "Have I told you that your eyes are very beautiful?", she asked, before she stepped closer and kissed his cheek slightly. She noticed that he was thinking about something of importance. "Anything wrong?"
"Uh.. no... it's just...", he stopped. What would Shredder say, when he came back without April?
"Don't care about Shredder", she said, as if she could read his mind. "You're far stronger. How could he ever be a danger for you?"
"It's not....", he wanted to explain, but April stopped him with a kiss more passionate than he had ever expected.
"You make me feel what the word love really means", he whispered, when they parted.
"And you are so much more than I thought life could ever give to me."
They were both lost in desire, not noticing that it was already evening. When he finally had to leave, she begged him to come again.
"I will, you can be sure I will."
"Tomorrow, eight o'clock?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I can't wait until tomorrow...", she said slowly, then kissed him again before he turned to leave.
