CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Don and Mike were waiting inside the Jeep. Don sighed and said:
" It's been half an hour and no sign of them. I hope they are ok."
" Maybe we should go in," Mike suggested, " they could be in trouble for all we know. Ever since Steve disappeared inside that building, we lost the signal from the wire."
Just as Don was deciding on wether or not to go inside, he saw his nephew walk out of the building, helping his friend Steve who was badly bruised.
" Mike, look!" he hissed and Mike's eyes went wide.
" They rescued themselves." Mike whispered. He watched as the boys struggled with the gate and got it open.
Tim saw his father's jeep, he, and Steve hurried over to it.
" Tim!" Don rolled down the window, " How did you two get out?"
" I'm so glad you're here Uncle Donatello…Dad's in trouble!" Tim opened the font door and Steve gratefully climbed in.
" What do you mean?" Don asked him and Tim told him what happened.
" That's just like Leo, sacrificing himself to sae his son's skin," Don looked disgusted and proud at the same time.
Tim hung his head, " I know I've been horrible to him recently and I don't deserve to be rescued, but…while I being tortured I realised I loved my family. Especially Dad and wanted to protect him."
Mike's face went white, " They tortured you? Who did and why?"
" Because I wouldn't tell her where my father lived." Tim whispered.
" Who?" Don demanded, opening the door to the jeep and joining his nephew on the pavement, not caring if he was caught.
" Dinah Forrester, the Leader of the Foot Clan."
" The leader is a woman?" Mike burst out surprised.
" She's no Shredder, but she's mean." Tim told them.
" You know about Shredder?" Don asked him.
" Yeah, Steve told me…he reckons his dad is involved somehow."
" Since you boys are safe, I'm going to help Leo and Raph." Mike declared than paused, " You don't know what happened to Raph do you?"
" I have no idea." Tim replied before climbing into the backseat of the jeep.
" I'm coming with you…Tim can you drive?"
" Sure, got my license last year."
" Good, go home." Don told him abruptly.
" I am not leaving without Dad." Tim said stubbornly.
Don sighed, " All right, but lock the doors okay? Here's the key," he handed Tim the key before he and Mike left to find their brothers.

" I've been dreaming about this day Leonardo," Dinah purred, " I admit I was unprepared when you came barging into my office, but now…" she trailed off and brandished her own weapon-a large butcher knife.
Leo almost laughed, " You call that a weapon?" he sniggered.
Dinah glared, " I have more deadly weapons…but this will do for now. I don't plan on killing you straight away."
" You're…not?"
" No, I plan to torture you until you beg for mercy. Then once I have worn you out, then I will kill you." Dinah mustered to the armchair next to the bed his son had once lain on, " Sit."
Leo did as he was told and Dinah bonded him to the chair. She wrapped the bonds around his wrists so tight, his knuckles started going white from lack of circulation.
" How do you know my name? I don't believe I've told you." Leo asked her.
" I know everything about you Leonardo-and those brothers of yours."
" But why do you want to kill me?"
" Because you killed my grandfather," Dinah straightened up, her eyes darkening.
" Grandfather?" Leo was confused.
" You may remember him-the Shredder."
Leo stared at the woman. This girl was a descendant of the Shredder?
