CHAPTER SIXTEEN
" You look shocked," Dinah commented with a satisfied smirk.
" I didn't even know Shredder had a family," Leo murmured, " there was little I knew about him except he was a cold blooded killer." He paused, " I guess it runs in the family." He gave Dinah a pointed look.
Dinah ignored the jibe and brandished her knife again, " now, if you hold really still, it shouldn't hurt."
Leo eyed the blade warily, " What shouldn't hurt?" he demanded and yelped when Dinah nicked him on the arm.
" I told you to stay still," Dinah clucked her tongue as a small drop of blood oozed out from the puncture wound, " now look what you made me do."
Leo steeled himself, this was going to get nasty.
Where was Raph?
Meanwhile. Mike and Don had gotten inside the building.
" Maybe we should split up." Mike suggested, " One of us looks for Leo while the other looks for Raph."
" Good idea." Don nodded, " I'll look for Leo and you look for Raph."
" Okay." Mike agreed.
" Be careful Mike," Don whispered before they went their own way.
Don walked up the stairs and watched as his youngest brother explored the first floor. Don wished he had his old bo, but he had stopped using it after he quit being a ninja in his late thirties and concentrated on his job instead.
" Guess I have use my fists if needed," Don glanced at his hands, they didn't look youthful as they once had.
The eight rooms he had looked in were all empty until he came upon the office of Dinah Forrester. He studied the name that was engraved on the door. Dinah. Who was she? How was she involved in the Foot Clan?
He was about to test the doorknob when the air was filled with an agonizing scream that made him jump. It came from beyond the door!
Was that Leo? Don wondered and tried to open the door but found it locked.
Don cursed under his breath. He had no choice but to kick it open. He breathed deeply before letting loose a flying kick that would have made Master Splinter proud.
" What the hell?" Dinah exclaimed as she saw one of the other mutant turtles standing in the doorway looking pleased with himself.
" Donnie!" Leo blurted out, " Get out of here, she's mad!"
Don rushed into the room, " What has she done to you?" he demanded. There were deep cuts on Leo's arms and a few on his legs. One of his fingers looked broken.
" Who are you?" Don asked the woman, " Why are you torturing my brother?"
" She's Shredder's granddaughter," Leo answered for Dinah between painful gasps.
" Shredder's granddaughter?" Don stared at the black-haired woman and the answers began to fall into place, " You're seeking revenge for your grandfathers death?"
" Well, you must the smart one," Dinah said sarcastically.
Don went over to untie Leo but Dinah stood in his way, " And what do you think you're doing?"
" Freeing him," Don said, " and getting out of this hell-hole." He pushed Dinah so forcefully that she slammed against her desk.
" You arrogant turtle! You two aren't leaving this place, alive." Dinah sneered and rushed forward but Don knocked her backwards and she landed on the floor, out cold.
Raph was tiring but wasn't about to let Hart see that. The Foot Soldiers were relentless.
One had him in a headlock and he was trying to free himself when the Solder's arm went around his neck, squeezing the air out him.
" Raph!" he heard someone shout, " Look out, he's got a-" Raph had no time as Troy ran forward with something in his hand.
Raph felt something stabbing him in the lower ribs, then white-hot pain shot through his body.
Then came blackness.
" You look shocked," Dinah commented with a satisfied smirk.
