Chapter 12: Break out!

The four turtles looked around the mansion, there was no sign that Shedder or anyone else had been there for years. "There is nothing here." Raphael said, Leonardo nodded. "Alright get the others, we will sreach the tunnels." "That won't be nessicarly." A female voice said, Leonadro and Raphael and turned to see who the voice came from.

Both was shocked it was a woman but not a human woman, it was turtle like them! "Hey guys we haven't found .... What in the world?" Michelangelo asked seeing the other turtle as he and Donatello came into the room. The female turtle looked at them for a few moments. "Your friend Juliet is in the tencnodrome, it is below the empire state biulding under the sewers." She said. "And how do you know you are telling the turth?" Raphael asked suspiciously. "Well let me put it like this: what choice do you have? IF you don't believe me you lose the chance of saving your friend." The other turtle answered.

Raphael looked at Leonardo who nodded. "All right. How do we get to Juliet?" he asked. "The same you have always gotten into the tenchnodrome, only thing time they will have a 'techical failure' it will last twenty minutes, in that time period you must get Juliet out. Good luck turtles." With that the female turtles left.

"Do you think she is telling the turth?" Raphael asked. "I don't know, what do you guys think?" Leonardo asked. "It is the only chance we have to save Juliet." Donatello said. "Of crouse it can also be a trap." Raphael countered. "You both are right. But the question is: do we go in or try to find another way?" Leonardo asked his three other brothers.

"I say we go for it, Donatello is right, this may be our only chance to save Juliet and who knows what Shedder could be doing to her while we stand her aguring." Michelangelo said, Donatello nodded in agreement. "Raphael?" Leonardo asked. "Alright, lets go." Raphael said and with that the four turtles left for the tenchnodrome.

Meanwhile in the technodrome ..... Juliet stared at the ceiling over her head, her mind carefully blanked so she couldn't, wouldn't think of anything, not of escape, not of Shedder being her father, nothing. Juliet didn't know how much time passed with her like this until she noticed she was staring at something over her head, an vent.

And where there is a vent, there is a way out! She thought to herself as she stood on the bed. Juliet saw the metal was new and made of steel but three of the nails was loose, she had only to lossen the last. But she had nothing to lossen it with, nor did she know when Shedder would return!

Come on Juliet, this is no time to be a damsel in distress! Juliet chilled herself as she looked at the vent. Wait a mintue, my pocket knife! Juliet thought and removed the Swiss Army knife she had found two week ago. Juliet stood on her tiptoes on her bed and fliping out the small scewdriver. At first the thing won't bugle but finally Juliet was able to move it. With painstaking care Juliet unscrewed it, her arms started to hurt from being held up for so long but then Juliet could see she only had a little more ways to go.

So she unscrewed the vent and caught it as it fell, gently she laid it on the floor but tied the bed sheet to it, Juliet jumping up and pulled herself into the vent then using the sheet she pulled the vent cover up as well. Juliet tied the sheet so that the vent would look normal, unless some looked extremly carefully no one would know how she got out. Come on Juliet, freedom isn't far. She thought to herself as she crawled thourgh the vent.

Juliet craweled for a good while then looked dorp thourgh a vent under her, the coast looked clear. Juliet kicked the vent as hard as she could and dorpped down, right into the way of some foot soldiers. Juliet wasn't sure who was more shocked and surprised to see who, they or she but she knew better then to talk about as she ran down the hall from them.

Meanwhile, the turtles were walking thought the technodrome."So far so good, no one has seemed to know we are here." Said Raphael, right then he and the others suddenly heard an announcement, announcing that Juliet had escaped. The four brothers looked at each other.

"Smart girl. She managed to get out." commented Donatello. "Yea but let's find her before Shredder does." said Leonardo. The four turtles started running down the random halls of the Technodrome with out an idea where their friend were. It wasn't long before they came across a split.

"Now which way?" Michelangelo asked. "Listen." Leonadro said hearing something: footsteps, headed their way. The four turtles ducked into the shadows as a figure came around the walk way they jumped it. "Let go!" A female voice said as the person tried to squirm away. "Juliet?!" Everyone asked seeing the person was no other then their friend. "Guys?" Juliet asked in surprise.

"Are you alright?" Raphael asked her, Juliet nodded. "No wrose for wear. How did you guys get here? Have you guys been seen? Why in the world are you here?" She asked the questions rapidly. "Came down here. No and we have come to get you out." Donatello answered as he helped Juliet up from the floor. "Come on, we need to get out of here." Leonardo said as the four turtles and Juliet made good on their escape. But as they left the technodrome Michelango saw a figure in the shadow, a turtle figure. Who ever you are, thanks. He thought to the person as they left.

When they arrived at the lair Juliet was half sleep, exshauted from the pyshical and emotional drain. "Juliet! You are safe!" Fox leapted into Juliet's arms. Juliet let Fox hug her tightly and hugged him back burying her face in his hair. "Juliet what's wrong?" He asked knowing Juliet only did that when she was troubled. "No kid, just tried." Juliet said then looked at the turtles. "I'm going to go get so sleep if it is ok with you guys." She said, Master Splinter nodded. "You should rest and do not worry about training tommorw." He said, Juliet nodded. "Thank you Master Splinter." She answered and left.

"Guys, how did you find Juliet?" Fox asked and the four turtles told them about the female turtles and how she helped them. "Do you have any idea who she was?" Master Splinter asked. "No Master Splinter, we don't." Leonardo said, Splinter nodded. "I see, there is nothing we can could about that now but perharp this stranger will show herself again." Master Splinter said as everyone went to sleep.

Fox crawled into his bed arcoss the room from Juliet but did not say a word to her because she was asleep. But after he turned off the light he didn't see that Juliet's eyes was open and slient tears running down her cheeks.
