The Surface....

"Where am I."? "What the?" God it hurt to move. What happened to him? Where was he? "So, your awake you freak. I am going to have fun with you. You will wish you never stuck your big freak nose in my business." Leo tried to remember who this guy was but it was hard to concentrate. He hurt all over, but his chest hurt the most. Then there was more pain. He remembered this guy, he was going to shoot the women and then he beat the crap out of him. He was doing it again, and he knew that Leo was shot and started punching him in the chest repeatedly; he then took out a knife and started slicing into Leo. Little cuts then big painful cuts, he couldn't breath, it hurt, he had to stop the pain. He gathered what little strength he had and broke apart the ropes. He then Head Butted the guy and punched him on the side of the head. The guy was out and Leo was out too.

The Lair....

"Sensei, it is not like Leo to be this late something has got to be wrong." Said Donnie. "I am afraid you are right, my son. Something does not feel right. Go look for him." Donnie left to find Mikey and Raph. "Guys, Leo's been gone way too long we have to look for him." "I agree brainiack, but where are we going to look?" asked Raph. "We can try to track his shell cell. Let's go to my lab." They ran to Donnie's lab and Donnie started checking the shell cell. "I got him guys. That's weird." "WHAT!!!" said Mikey and Raph together. "It looks like he is in some kind of building, but it is not on the great side of town, if you get my meaning." Said Donnie. "Well, instead of wondering what he is doing lets go there and get him." Said Raph.

The Warehouse....

Leo started to come to. "God it hurts. I have to get moving, where is that guy." Leo looked all around but could not find the thug who beat him. This was not good. Leo slowly got up after the room stopped spinning, but he felt odd, hot and cold and it hurt too much to breath or think, but he knew he had to get out of there so he stood and started forward and was stopped by a voice. "YOU FREAK YOU ARE SO DEAD." Leo turned around and stared at the thug. He had a gun pointed right at Leo's head. Leo was surprised that the thug did not pull the trigger right away. "I am going to enjoy the hell out of this. You are going to bled more then you thought you could and then I will watch you slowly die." Leo couldn't think what to do. Everything hurt he just wanted to go home and sleep. He wanted the pain to stop and he wanted everything to stop.

Outside the Warehouse....

"Come on guys he is this way." Said Donnie. The others followed him looking for any signs of Leo. They approached a door. It was locked, but this is were Leo was. Raph kicked the door in and the turtles were shocked to see that a street thug was holding a gun on Leo and Leo looked ready to pass out any second. "LEO!!" shouted Mikey. Leo's mind cleared and he saw his brothers, he also saw the thug with the gun. The thug turned and was going to fire on them. Leo didn't have to think, he reacted and ran into the thug. The shot went wild and the thug turned on Leo. Leo didn't think he just couldn't take the pain anymore and he wanted to go home. With his palm open he punched the guy in the nose and killed him instantly. Realizing it was over he slid to the floor and stared.

Mikey's Point of View....

Leo looked awful, after he killed the guy he just stayed on the ground not moving. Donnie ran over to him. "Leo, can you hear me? We are going to get you home, cleaned up, and you will be fine." You could tell Donnie was worried. If Donnie was worried that made me freak out. Leo looked on the verge of collapsing, but he didn't say a word. Raph and I helped pick him up. He never said a word. His skin was clammy and it looked like he was shot and cut bad. "Leo, its me Mikey come on bro talk to us. Tell us what happened. Say anything." Finally, I think I got through to him. In the battle shell after telling him to talk to us he looked at me. "Mikey?" Leo asked. "Yeah, bro it's me you are going to be fine. Donnie will fix you up in no time and you'll be fine." "Mikey, it hurts, please make it stop." Said Leo in a frightened voice. "Tell him to leave me alone Mikey, make the pain go away. I can't take it, I tried but it is too much." Said Leo.

"It's ok Leo, Donnie is going to make all the pain stop and Master splinter will help and you will be fine. I promise you." Leo looked into Mikey's eyes wanted to believe, but all he felt was the pain. How could someone hate another person so much? He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the pain, but no matter what he felt it along with the death of the person who was trying to kill him. "Leo, Leo answer me." Said Mikey desperately. "Donnie, is he ok?" "I don't know Mikey, I just don't know. The bullet is still in him the cuts are too many and too deep, I need to stitch him up." "Raph, make this thing go faster." Said Mike.
