Kimmico
Chapter XXI: Who to Trust?
By: Michelle
Shredder paced around the room. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew there was something familiar with Kimmico. But what? *******FLASHBACK******* "Boss." Rocksteady tugged on Shredder's cape for him to turn around. "What now?" "I found it." Shredded turned around and looked at the uncover top of the canister. He put on gloves and slowly began to unbar it. "Damn." Shredder said as he pulled the broken canister out of the sand. Then, he pulled the other half of the broken canister out. "Where's the mutagen?" Bebop asked looking and one of the pieces Shredder hummed at the palm tree. "It's gone." Shredder tore off his gloves. "So much for another mutant." "Hey boss." Rocksteady started. "If there was no mutagen left, then where did it go?" "I told you, you fool. It's gone." Bebop thought for a second. "But wasn't the mutagen gone when the Turtles were made." Shredder thought for a moment. What if another mutant was made? What if it was running around the island? He had to look. "Come on you fools." Shredder snapped. "We are going mutant hunting." "But all the mutagen is gone." Rocksteady reminded. Shredder sighed. "I told you. If the mutagen is gone, then another mutant was created." "Oh." "You're so smart boss." Rock steady said. "We would have never thought of something like that." Bebop nodded. "Come on." Shredder pointed. "There is a house over there. Let's go." ^^^^^^ Shredder, now dressed in civilian clothes, knocked on the door to the house. An elderly woman cracked the door open to see who it was. "May I help you?" "Yes Ma'am." Shredder said. "I am with the Hawaiian Board of Chemical Waste. Recently, there has been a leak of chemicals in the area. Have you seen anything unusual lately?" The woman thought for a moment. The man was suspicious to her. Something was funny about him and the two robed men around him. She could never tell them what she found. "No." Shredder looked into the woman's eye. Was she hiding something? "Sorry to disturb you. Have a good day." **********BACK TO REALITY********** "The old woman." Shredder turned and faced Kimmico. "She was your guardian." Kimmico's heart pounded. How did he know that? "How?" "Did I know that?" Shredder finished her question. Kimmico nodded. "I'm your father." Shredder smiled. "No." Kimmico shook her head. "No." "I created you." "You lie." "Do I?" Shredder gave her a glare. Then, he showed her an empty mutagen canister. Kimmico's mouth dropped. She saw that in her dreams. He was her creator.
"You see, Kimmico." Shredder said. "You belong to me." Kimmico's head was swimming. She didn't know who to believe. Michaelangelo said Shredder was his enemy. Shredder was telling her he was her father. "Kimmico. Look at me." Shredder lifted her chin. "Join me against my enemies." "Against Michaelangelo and his brothers?" Kimmico said softly. 'Yes." Shredder looked into her eyes. "They are your enemies." Kimmico didn't know what to say. She was confused. "Join me." Kimmico paused for a moment. Who was she to trust? Was it Michaelangelo, her lover and friend? Or, was it Shredder, her father and creator? "Well?" Kimmico thought for a moment. Then, she gave him her answer.
