Chapter 3

"Nope. We still havn't found her. Did you explain to Mikey that we have a daughter insted of a son and Hope was our daughter like I asked you to?" Donny asked. He was talking to Leo over the phone. Donny and I were in a hotel room.

"Yep. We told him. But he's mad at you because yo didn't tell him that any sooner. Oh! And more bad news. Mikey ran away again." Leo said.

"What? Why? Why does he keep running away?"

"I don't know. Raph's out there looking for him right now."

"Perfect. What is up with these two?"

"I don't know. I don't know anything anymore."

"Wow. I didn't think you had the guts to say that."

"I don't. Raph told me it this morning."

"Oh. That figures."

"Can I talk to Sapphire?"

"Not now."

"Why not? Is she sick or something?"

"No. She's asleep."

"Why?"

"3:00 in the afternoon in New York City, and it's 3:00 in the morning here."

"Oh. Maybe I should've called then."

"No, no! It is ok."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"You know how you made those marks of places on that map of Washington to check those places for Hope?"

"Yeah."

"Well. You've been their for week already. How many places are marked off now?"

"Um...none."

"None?"

"None."

"Why?"

"Sapphire and I got here and we went walking on the beach, went in the indoor pool, had a nice dinner in a nice restuant, and did romantic stuff."

"Your hopeless..." Leo said.

"I know," Donny answered. "Sapphire's waking up. I have to go now."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Bye."
