Ch. 9 – Set-Up

"Now you will help me get rid of those turtles once and for all," Shredder said as he looked at a young woman in a tight black leather outfit. Brianna had on a pair of skin tight black leather pants and a matching sleeve-less leather top that zipped up to a low v-neck cut. She also wore a pair of leather boots. Shredder had her change into the outfit after Thomas had successfully attached the chip onto her neck right next to her hairline on the back right side. He felt that the sweats she had on before did not make her look like a fighter. Now she looked ready to kill and man did she look hot. Shredder dismissed Thomas and told him to send one of the foot to him. While he waited, he stared at Brianna, wishing that he had not been paralyzed. Brianna just stared into space, totally oblivious to the filthy stares, Shredder was giving her.

Finally the foot member came in and bowed before his master. Shredder told him, "Go find that April O'Neil at channel 3 and tell her to inform the turtles to meet me at the old warehouse if they wish to see Miss Brianna alive,"

"Yes, Master Shredder," The young foot member replied and left on his mission. Brianna continued to stand there, not moving. Not even looking at anything in particular. It was as if the chip had turned her into a zombie.

Ok, now if I were a camera, where would I be? Hmm. Mikey thought as he started to look for the tiny camera in the living room. He started looking over by the TV set. He went through all the movies and games. Searched through the drawers, where the game controllers were kept, even though he knew it probably wouldn't be in there. Next, he started going through the bookshelves. Still, nothing. I've got to find that thing and fast! Now where could it be? Mikey stopped to take a look around the room. The guy said that they had lowered the camera in here. So it should be over by the opening, on top of something, right? He walked over to where that would be. Finally he noticed something on one of the tables.

Huh? What's this? Mikey thought as he held up a small black device that he had found. Is this the camera I'm supposed to be looking for? Leo said to look for anything that I don't recognize and I definitely do not remember this being here. Donnie would know though. I'll go ask him.

April smiled as she parked her car at the news channel 3 building. It was a beautiful day. I sure hope Brianna's okay. I know how Leo feels about her. Though he won't admit it. She had almost made it inside when someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her into the alleyway beside her work. She tried to scream, but a hand was firmly placed onto her mouth.

"Now listen carefully, Miss O'Neil. I have a message for you to give to those turtle friends of yours. My friends and I hold the girl hostage. If they wish to see her alive, they must meet us at the old warehouse at pier 6, after dark," He whispered in her ear. He gave her a second to think about it before pushing her to the ground and fleeing. April sat there for a minute, stunned at what had just happened before she hurried into the building.

"Hey Donnie! Is this the camera?" Mikey asked when he came into his brother's lab, causing Donnie to jump. He took the small device from Mikey and inspected it.

"Yep. That's a camera alright. Probably recording us right now," Donnie muttered. He pulled out a small wire and set it on the desk.

"Huh? Whatcha do that for?" Mikey asked.

"Basically I just turned the camera off. I might be able to figure out where it was transmitting to,"

"Transmitting to?"

"Yes. Didn't you hear that guy? He said that his superior had been watching us -"

"Oh! So you mean that the little camera was only sending the picture to something bigger?"

"Yes, something like that. If I can rewire it right, it should lead us to the source,"

"Hi, Miss O'Neil. It's a gorgeous day, huh?" Annie Lemn, the young secretary greeted when she saw April rush in.

"Yea, great," April mumbled and quickly shut the door to her office. She dialed the turtles' number as fast as she could.

"Hello?" Leo answered.

"Leo?" April asked.

"Speaking,"

"It's April. Listen I found out where she is, or rather where she'll be tonight,"

"Really? Oh thank you so much!" Leo said. Brianna had been found!

"Hold on there. Its not exactly good news,"

"Why? What's wrong? Did they hurt her? If they laid a finger on her, I swear I'll kill them,"

"I don't know. All I know is that the guy said to meet them at the old warehouse by pier 6, after dark. If you want to see her alive again,"

"Ok, then my brothers and I will be there,"

"Leo, it's a trap,"

"I know, but I have to save her,"

April sighed and said, "Alright. I have to get back to work now, but please let me know what happens. And be careful,"

"I will. Bye,"

"Bye,"

"Oh! So you mean that the little camera was only sending the picture to something bigger?"

"Yes, something like that. If I can rewire it right, it should lead us to the source,"

"Great. But first we've got to go rescue Brianna," Leo said as he stood in the doorway. Raph was right behind him. Both Mikey and Donnie jumped at the sound of their elder brother.

"Geez! What are you trying to do, Leo? Kill me by giving me a heart attack?" Mikey asked after he recovered from the initial surprise.

"Sorry. The foot just sent April a message for us," Leo replied.

"We're supposed to meet them down by the old warehouse by pier 6, after dark, if we want to see Brianna alive," Raph said when he came into the lab.

"How do you know that?" Leo asked in surprise.

"I caught one of them and made him talk to me," Raph answered.

"Oh, okay. So did the two of you find anything?"

"I found the camera and Donnie turned it off," Mikey said, pointing to the little black device on the desk.

"And I succeeded in hacking into the government's files on her. I don't think we have time to discuss what I found right now," Donnie answered.

"Right. Ok, turtles let's go!" Leo said as they went to go meet the foot.
