Chapter 8 of:
Growing Up Isn't Easy
April was organizing the wires at the Channel 6 news van.Jessica was watching her.
"Do you need help?"Jessie asked.She noticed that she was having trouble.
"Uh yeah.."April said holding one end of the wires."Hold this and i'll be right back to fix it".April walked to the camera near where she was going to interview Professor Perry.
Jessica looked around and waited for April to come back.April walked back to her and then the wires were fixed.
"Alright Jessica,just umm.."April said thinking where to stay at."Come behind the camera".
"Whose looking after the house?"Jessica asked putting a hand on her hip.
"Next door,the Petersons?"April smiled and walked to go to work.Jessica sighed and shrugged while she walked to follow April.
Someone dressed in black peeked behind the van and watched Jessie walk behind the camera.
**~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~
The turtles walked down the sewers existing from their lair.
"Aw shellfish.."Raph said walking down with his head low."They want to kill Jessica".
"Hey we don't know that yet"Mikey said pointing to Raph.
"Splinter has to be right Mikey..he knows"Leonardo said.
Mikey sighed and looked at all three."What are we gonna do now?".
"Find the foot"Leonardo said."Lets go!".
Raph opened the sewer top and climbed up.He realized it was daylight."Hey you guys!".
Donnie climbed up."Oh dude...its still daylight".He looked around and saw April reporting a news story."Hey guys! Look its April!".
"Wheres Mike?"Leonardo said climbing up.
"I thought he followed you"Raph said looking at Leo.
"He was a minute ago.."Leonardo said straching his green bold head.
"Hey dudes!"They heard Mikey's voice.When Mikey climbed up,he held up a cell phone.He waved it in the air since he wasn't all the way up yet." I think I found Jessie's cell phone!".
Donatello,Raph and Leo shook their heads as they groaned.
"Is April done yet?"
"Yeah i think"Donnie replied as they walked to April.
April noticed the guys standing there."Hey!".
The turtles watched April walk up to them."What are you guys up to?".
"Uh...just... uh.."Donnie said trying to make a lie.
"Hanging around"Mike finished Donatello's sentence.
"Yeah what he said"Donatello said looking at Mikey.
"Jessica's here with me"April said smiling.
"Oh yeah?"Leonardo said."Can we see her?".
"Sure,shes in the van"April said walking to go to interview people.
"Come on,lets go see her for a change"Donatello said.They all walked to the Channel 6 news van."Jess?".
Jessica looked up from the front seat and looked at them."Hey guys!".
Jessie went to the back and sat down with them."What are you guys doing?".
"We're just trying to find the guys who kidnapped you"Leonardo said.
"Do you have to?"Jessie asked as she looked at Donnie.
"Pretty much..."Donatello said."We may know them and their master".
"Just be careful"Raph said to her as he looked at her.
"I will"Jessica said smiling."I promise".
"Well we're gonna go out and look"Leo said as he got up to leave.
"Be careful guys"Jessie said watching them with concern.
"We will"All four of them said as they jumped off the van.
~*~**~**~****~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The turtles went back to the sewers and waited till it was dark.Later,The Shredder was training the monsters Professor Perry created.
"Hmmmm..."Shredder said looking at the as they ate."They seem to be wild more than they were before".
"Like i said before..my plan will work"Professor Perry said weakily.He didn't want to do the plan.
Just then,the foot clan walked in the building."Master".
"Did you find them?"Shredder said looking at them.
"Yes Master but..."One of them said."There seems to be a girl with them".
"Miss O'Niel..we already dealed with her"Shredder replied.
"No Master...i think this girl has a relation to her"Another of the ninja's said."She seems like shes part of a plan we can do".
Shredder just stared at his foot clan.
"They may know we're following them Master".
"That doesn't matter"The Shredder said walking around."We must find this girl".
"Yes Master...but what about the turtles?"One of the ninja's asked.
"Look after them too....find the girl...and that way...they will come find us!!!"Shredder said."Hahahahahaahaha!".He did his evil laugh.

Jessica walked in the apartment a few hours later.April had to go to the store for food.
Jessie grabbed her pack of gum from her purse and went to watch tv.
She turned it on and watched cartoons on Cartoon Network.Nothing else was on but baby shows since it was a weekday.
The phone rang and she went to answer it.
"Hello?".
"Kiki here"Her best friend Kayla said.
"Kay! Oh my gosh,i haven't talked to you in days"Jessie said with a smile.
"Well i was in Jersey for a while with my cousins.Anything new happen?"Kayla asked.
"Well not really.....Uncle Casey and Aunt April are okay.I mean they even let me go places by myself"Jessie explained.She didn't want to mention the turtles,or how she was attacked.
"Wish i had parents like that"Kayla said shaking her head."Well your a year older than I am,thats a point".
"Yeah i guess...."Jessica said."I'm here by myself.Uncle Casey is working and Aunt April is at the store".
"Quiet isn't it?"Kayla said with a giggle.
"Yeah...a little too quiet"Jessie said with a 'something fishy'look.
"You should watch the..."Kayla said chatting.Meanwhile,someone,or people were peeking through the window of the apartment.
"........and some dumb band guy said he wasn't dating that bitch"Kayla ended."But what do you think?".
"I hate that.I don't know if i will watch it? "Jessica said with a chuckle."He can date anyone and i don't care".
"And thats the truth..."Kayla continued.Someone was climbing into the window of Jessie's room.
"So i checked the website and it said it was shutdown"Kayla said.Jessie heard a noise from her room.
Jessica held the speaker on the phone and listened carefully.All she heard was the tv sounds and nothing else.
"Hello? Jess? You there?".
"Oh i thought i heard something"Jessica said in the phone.
"Its New York,what else could you hear?"Kayla said with a laugh.
"Uncle Casey doesn't come home till in 25 minutes"Jessie said checking her watch.
"Umm...I gotta go now,my mom is calling"Kayla said.
"Alright,call me in two days"Jessie said ready to hang up.
"Sure,bye".
"Bye"Jessica hung up the phone.She looked around the house and saw nothing but the tv cartoons.
She heard a"bump"from upstairs.To her surprise,it stopped.She went to throw out her gum and get a drink of water.
When she wasn't looking,someone dressed in black walked very slowly and quietly down the steps.Jessica was pouring a glass of water as she dropped ice cups in it.
The someone walked slowly up behind her as she began to drink from the glass.
Someone put a hand over her mouth.
"Hmmmmmmm!!!!"Jessica shrieked as she jumped and tried to get out of the arms.
It was the foot clan.One of the ninja's held her as he watched another one of the ninja's look around the house and pulled out his weapons.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"Jessica's voice echoed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~***~
Splinter was mediating in his room and it was all quiet.
Suddenly,a voice came into his thoughts.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!".
Splinter opened his eyes quickly,and went to tell the turtles what he heard.
"Sons.."Splinter said walking slowly outside of his room.
"We're about to go out now Master"Leonardo said walking up slowly.
"My sons...listen to me.."Splinter said hardly getting the idea back.
"Whats wrong?"Donatello asked walking next to Leo.Mikey and Raph joined in.
"Master whats wrong?".
"My sons...i fear for Jessica.."Splinter said slowly.
"W-W-What? Shes fine,she could be with April"Raph said.
"I was meditating in my room and i heard a voice..."Splinter said looking at all four."I know Its Jessica calling for help..".
Leonardo looked at Mikey."Oh nooooo! The foot clan!".
"Does this mean..."Donatello said watching Leo look up at the bars to climb.
"I'm afraid so Don..."Leonardo said."The Shredder...is back...".
"Well what are we waiting for!?"Raph yelled walking up near Leo and looked at everyone."Lets go and save Jessie!".
Mikey and Don climbed up the bars right after Leo and Raph climbed up.
