Mikey's head snapped up as he heard a scream. He was about to leave with Devon, but both of them stopped when they heard the scream. Mikey gasped "That was Venus!!!" Both of them ran through the lair, towards where they heard the scream, almost running into Donny, Leo and Akira, who had also heard the scream. Just before they found her, they heard another scream.

Mikey was the first one in the door, and stopped at the scene before him. There was Venus, with Raph!! Mikey quickly ran over to them, and watched Venus cry over their brother. "Venus, what's wrong?" Venus looked at Mikey with tear filled eyes, choking back a sob. "I walked in here because I heard something moaning, and I wanted to see what it was. I walked in and saw Raph. He was standing against the wall, and he smiled at me and said 'hey V' then he just collapsed on the floor."

Donny had made it to Raph's side by then and was checking his pulse and breathing. "I can't believe that he's alive." Donny muttered under his breath, feeling a slight pulse running through Raph's veins. He swore under his breath, though, when he noticed Raph's face. "I think Raph got poisoned by something. Look at his face, its all swollen, and his eyes running." Donny picked up Raph's arm, and swore again. "There's a needle in his arm. It looks like it has been recently used, to, like they stuck him with something right before he managed to escape." Venus held back a sob as she watched Donny with tearful eyes. "Is he going to be alright?" Donny just shrugged. "I don't know, but we should get him home right away, and hope for the best."

Leo took charge and gently picked Raph up and began to carry him out. Akira watched all of this numbly, and grabbed Mikey's arm. "Listen, Mikey, I didn't know he was here. I swear I didn't know." Mikey patted Akira's shoulder and gave the boy a hug. "Don't worry, I believe you. I know you wouldn't lie about something like this. Are you going to need help later burying the bodies?" Akira thought for a minute before replying "I'm not sure, but you guys go home, I'll call you if we need help later. I hope Raph will be alright, though, I'd hate to lose him twice." "I don't think we could handle losing him twice, our family barely made it through the first time. Maybe we'll be lucky and Master Splinter will come home soon." Akira gave Mikey a smile, and Mikey walked out the door.
