Reap what You Sow(Continued)
Ken's face was tearstained and he had snot running down his nose. Ken came out from under the bed and John picked up the phone to call 911 and reported his mother's death.
"I couldn't do anything to save her... I didn't even try, she made me hide, but I shouldn't have listened. I should ha-, "
"Ken stop it. You can't blame yourself for this, if your gonna blame anyone blame the Foot or me."
Ken thought John meant that their mother was dead because of his absence, but John blamed himself not only for that but also his gang ties. After recovering a bit Ken was finally coherent enough to ask a question.
"W-where were you John?"
"I was..." John wasn't exactly sure what to say, but after remembering his promise to the turtles he said, "I was getting even."
Before Ken could ask him what he meant EMTs came into the apartment with stretcher.
As they were putting her body onto the stretcher, Ken asked, "Could we ride with you to the hospital?"
One of the two guys carrying the stretcher turned and nodded. The brothers closed the apartment door and followed the EMTs to the ambulance.
"Three hundred." Raphael said, finishing his last sit-up.
After waiting for so long, the turtles were finally about to go fight the Black Lotus. Everyone was trying to prepare in some form, Leonardo was meditating, Donatello and Michelangelo were sparring, and Raph had just finished up his exercises. He was bored so he decided to see what was on TV, so he sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. The TV screen lit up and there was a reporter speaking.
"Hey guys check this story out real quick."
Don, Mikey, and Leo came over and began to watch.
"This is Tina Chung, reporting live from Chinatown for Channel Six News. There has been what appears to be a break-in and homicide at the Gold Towers apartment complex. It has been confirmed that there has been only one death in this incident. Forty-five year old Yoriku Motsuma, mother of two sons, was confirmed as the deceased. She was pronounced dead at twelve thirty one A.M. at St. Joseph's Hospital. Her sons, John and Kenetsu were not harmed in the incident. Kenetsu has been placed in the custody of his older brother John, who recently turned eighteen."
"She was severely beaten and then stabbed to death and dead before EMTs even arrived on the scene. The motive for this heinous crime is still unclear, but police are pointing toward revenge since no money or valuables were stolen. However friends and neighbors of Yoriku are shocked that anyone could do this, they say she had no enemies and that she was a pleasure to be around. Police have reason to believe that a gang might have committed this crime, but are still investigating this further. If you have any information please contact the police at their confidential tip line, the number is (462) 610-7781."
"Also nearby only a few blocks away two Foot soldiers were found unconscious. One of them was found with severe head trauma and the other, while not in as serious condition was found passed out. Police are not sure about the cause of the incident, but seem to believe that it was just another battle in the Black Lotus and Foot Clan gang war. Police are also trying to determine whether there is any connection between either case and will try to keep us informed as both cases progress. This is Tina Chung for Channel Six News signing off."
After all that had ended the turtles finally began to speak.
"That's the same John we were talking to last night, he was telling the truth," Raph said.
"Do you guys think the Black Lotus killed his mother?" Mikey asked.
"I doubt it, yesterday John was in a hurry to get home which mean the Black Lotus won't find out that he quit until tonight. I'm willing to bet that it was probably the Foot retaliating against the Black Lotus," Don responded.
"What do you mean they won't find out until tonight?"
"What I mean is that if John makes it tonight he's gonna be spotted with us and I think the Black Lotus will be able to realize that he's switching sides."
Ken's face was tearstained and he had snot running down his nose. Ken came out from under the bed and John picked up the phone to call 911 and reported his mother's death.
