Chapter 14

"Shredder's Warning"

Saki was now in jail dressed in his bright orange jump suit. He laid on his bed as he looked up at the ceiling. He wondered about his little girl. He prayed that Leonardo was taking good care of her, protecting her with all his might. He shook his head. Of course he was. He promised to and Leonardo seemed like an honorable turtle.

Then he looked at the window. Slowly, plan on how he could elude security and get out of there, never knowing that he was gone. He knew that it was completely possible due to the fact that the guards in the prison weren't as smart as they made many think. Security wasn't very good there and Saki knew it.

No, Saki, you can't do that, thought Saki, you promised Sachi you would serve your time and that's exactly what you will do. He resisted the temptation to escape, yet he kept those ideas in the back of his mind. He never knew when he might need to do so to protect Sachi if Leonardo couldn't. After all, Leonardo was only human.well almost. Leonardo just couldn't be in two places at once.

Foot steps could be heard coming towards the cell. He knew by the click of the heel that it was one of the security guards. The guard stopped at Saki's cell. Then he opened the door of Saki's cell.

"Hey, Saki, you've got a visitor," said the guard.

Saki looked at the guard. It wasn't Sachi's day to visit. After all, she was back in college and that meant she was on the other side of the city. With that, he let the guard handcuff him and bring him to the place where a young man was behind a plastic wall. The guards trusted Saki and left him with his visitor.

"So, Joseph, what brings you here to visit your former master?" asked Shredder, recognizing the youth.

"I had heard about your order to disperse and never come back but it wasn't by Master Tatsu. I listened to your order but Master Tatsu found me and sent me to give you a message and threatened that if I didn't give it to you, then I would be killed," explained the youth.

"Go on, Joseph, I'm listening," said Saki.

"Master Shredder, Tatsu wants to kill your daughter. He's going to set a trap for her and the turtles and kill them all," said Joseph.

Saki looked at Joseph shocked. It didn't surprise him that Tatsu would try something like this. That was why he wrote to Leonardo about that subject. He knew he had to get another message to Leonardo somehow and warn him.

"Do you know when this is supposed to take place?" asked Saki.

"Tonight," said Joseph.

He looked at Joseph. Shit, there's no time to send a letter, thought Saki. He knew that he had to warn his daughter but he just didn't know how. He looked at Joseph and thought of a plan.

"Joseph, I need you to do me one more favor and this is to save the life of my daughter and those turtles. I need you go warn my daughter of the plot. If you cannot find her, find one of those turtles and tell them. Either way, warn someone," said Saki.

"Can I have her address?" asked Joseph.

Saki pulled out a piece of paper. He had well learned his daughter's home address by heart. Slowly, he slipped the piece of paper under the plastic. Joseph took the piece of paper and bowed to Saki. Saki smiled.

"Joseph, I know how well you were doing, learning how to be a ninja but allow me to correct you one last time," said Saki.

"Anything, Master," said Joseph.

"You only bow to a true ninja master and I am not one," he said.

"Yes sir," said Joseph.

Joseph left and ran out the door. Saki watched him before calling the guard back in to bring him back to his cell. I pray that Sachi and Leonardo get the message in time, thought Saki to himself as he was escorted back to his cell.
