Chapter Ten ~ Midnight Meetings
Sarah turned over again trying to get comfortable. Her leg and side hurt and the throbbing was keeping her awake. Finally she turned over onto her back. The events of the past few days had played heavily on her mind but with Casey back, it surprised her that she felt indifferent. Why me? She asked herself. Her life was anything but normal, from the very beginning things for her had not been normal. Both her biological and adoptive parents were now gone. Her only blood relation was a distant cousin here in NYC, one which she had failed to locate at this point in time. Her half sister was a ninjutsu sensei and her four younger sisters were turtles. She sighed. For the first time she felt alone. Julie and the turtles were on the other side of the planet and she realised that she was homesick again.
Her father's murder had now started to get to her, more than ever. She was hoping the Don could feel in some gaps and she made a mental note to herself to ask him about The Foot in the morning - without making it too obvious as to what she was up to. She peered over to Don in the hopes that she had not woken him, as he needed his rest. She was relieved when she listened to his slow steady breathing. So she had trouble sleeping! She did not want him to know that the events of the past few days bothered her, nor did she want Casey to know. It wasn't his fight. Sarah took a few deep breaths trying to calm down. Still restless, she slowly got up. Maybe a hot glass of milk would help, she thought. It always did. Don stirred and turned over.
"Sarah?" He mumbled, one eye opened.
"I'm just getting a drink" she whisphered and he turned over again. She got up and slowly made her way to the kitchen when something did not feel right. She slowly scanned the apartment with her eyes. Nothing. She shrugged it off, putting it down to her paranoia. She pulled the milk out of the fridge. She felt it again. Something was nagging at her. Knowing better, she crabbed a knife from the dish rack and headed into the living room. She gasped as she saw the group infront of her.
"I wouldn't if I were you" one of them said in a hushed voice. The last thing he wanted was for the sleeping mutant to waken. He signalled for her to look. One of them was standing near Don with a dagger.
"Okay" she whisphered "only if you do". There was a silent agreement made as she watched the leader nod. She slowly put the knife down watching as the other resheathed the dagger, taking a step back.
"What do you what?"
"Just some answers" he said again in a hushed voice. Sarah took a quick count. Five, including the leader. Not good odds in her condition, even though she knew she could do some damage. She peered over to Don and decided not to risk it.
"Outside" she pointed at the fire escape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From a nearby rooftop Raph sat quietly still fuming about the heated arguement he and Leo had had a few hours back. He thought about heading over to Casey's to hang out there for a while. He sat and watched as he saw a girl in her pyjamas climbing out of the window and onto the fire escape. Curiousity got the better of him and he crept in to get a better look. Casey had better not have another girl on the side! he thought to himself. April was his friend and he barely knew Casey. He paused as he watched members of the Foot climb out after her and head for the rooftop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well?" Sarah demanded crossing her arms angrily. The leader didn't answer and made a signal to the group. They pulled out their weapons and she gulped hard.
"Oh shit" she muttered as she looked around, realising that she was in trouble.
"The boss wants a word with you". Sarah looked around at the group. They had hestitated. She looked blankly at them not able to work out their hesitation. She did not have that many run ins with them just yet. Maybe they had a problem with her being female... her train of thought was interrupted as she realised that they were being watched. A lump formed in her throat as she realised that maybe Don had woken. She didn't want him getting involved... more like, she did not want him to know.
Sarah started to back up as they approached her, weapons raised. She quickly scanned the group assessing the situation. She was not fit to fight. Evade. She hated to chicken out, but it was the best option. She had scoped out the building only a few days prior... just in case. Sarah turned, placing both hands on the ledge and hoisted herself over. She cried out in pain as both her feet hit the rooftop. She looked up at them. Lucky for her the two buildings were close together and the drop not so high. She gritted her teeth as she headed for the ladder. She knew they were after her. She knew she could not allow herself to fall into enemy hands. She ignored the pain as she ran down the fire escape. They were close, coming at her from both buildings. They were being careless, she could hear their footsteps. She knew the ladder that would get her to the alley was stuck fast so she climbed over the railing and gently lowered herself to the alley floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raph watched the girl in silence. There was something about her. She had shown no fear - even after they had pulled out their weapons. He kept to the shadows as he followed her down to the alley. He knew that he had to help her - he could not explain it, it was just a feeling he had. She was hurt, that much he knew, but even so, she still had some moves. Raph crouched down near a trash can and waited for them to come to him. After a few minutes, he saw an opportunity and went in to attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarah half ran through the alley heading toward the road. Her leg was throbbing and she knew that after being hit by a car it would be a while before the pain disappeared. She scanned the alley for movement. She heard what appeared to be a round of hits. As she approached the road, she was stunned to see two of her would-be kidnappers on the ground ... out cold. She quickly looked around to see if she could catch a glimpse of her helper. She could bearly sense him. She was very tired and her strength was fading. She needed sleep. As she walked passed a doorway, a pair of hands shot out of the darkness and crabbed her, pulling her in. Sarah felt herself being pushed into the wall. One arm around her waist, the other hand clamped over her mouth.
"Shhh, he'll spot us" a hushed voice said. Sarah said nothing. The voice sounded familiar. A moment later, she saw two walk past.
"Well?" One asked.
"She's gone."
"Shit! Andy isn't gonna be pleased!"
"C'mon let's go" one of them said as he pulled off his hood. Sarah looked at him from within the shadows and stared into his eyes for a moment before she lost sight. After a moment she felt the arm loosen from around her waist and the hand off her mouth. He stood back then pulled off his hood.
"Kyle?" Sarah asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Raph watched in silence trying to work out what was going on. She had gotten some help. What was her connection to the Foot anyhow? He stood and watched in silence, then something unexpected happened. The guy lent in and kissed her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Sarah pushed Kyle back hard.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sarah demanded.
"What?"
"What?!" Sarah asked.
"I just saved your butt!"
"I don't like you, you dumb ass! Do I need to remind you that you are in the Foot!"
"Well, not for long" Kyle said softly.
"Huh?" Sarah didn't get it. She watched as he pulled out something.
"I'm a P.I." he said showing her his badge. "My partner and I infiltrated the Foot as a request from one of our clients. Their son disappeared shortly after joining and they wanted us to go in and get him"
"Like I'm suppose to believe you" she spat.
"Well you better" came a voice from behind them. Sarah turned to face a man with a youth over his shoulder. "Hello Sarah, so we meet again". Sarah stood there dumbfounded.
"Andrew?" She asked remembering the name.
"Yep that's me. C'mon Kyle we got him, do me a favour, walk Sarah back then meet me at H.Q" Kyle nodded. He straightened himself.
"Let's go, I gotta get back to work" he offered her his hand. Sarah looked up at Andrew and smiled. He was older and she knew that he was more focused on his work then Kyle was.
"So you're not in the Foot?"
"Nope, sorry about the charade, but I had to make it look real...." his voice trailed as the two were jumped from someone watching them from a nearby fire escape. Sarah screamed as she hit the ground hard. Kyle looked around, then went into a fighting stance.
"You traitor, now you die!" Sarah said nothing. She tried to sit up when pain shot to her side and down her leg. She groaned. Sarah looked up and noticed Kyle watching her.
"You okay?" He asked. Sarah did not have a chance to reply as the she watched Kyle deflect a strike. Sarah tried to get up when she was siezed.
"Kyle!" He turned and looked as she was forced to her feet. He hit the ground as a kick impacted with his side. Sarah watched as the leader approached her.
"Lucky we had a back up" Sarah gulped. This was not good. "Now you will answer our questions or he gets it" Sarah peered over as two of them grabbed Kyle.
"Don't tell them anything Sarah....." his voice trailed as he was hit in the stomach. Sarah cringed. This was all her fault and had nothing to do with him. As much as she disliked him, he didn't deserve this.
"Okay, okay..." Sarah's voice trailed this time as the light, the only light around them was smashed leaving them in darkness. Sarah turned on her heel and side kicked one, then turned her sights on the other..... but not before someone plowed into her and they both hit the ground.
"Sarah?" A voice whisphered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Raph watched on. This was getting interesting. A P.I. huh? Could be dangerous. He stiffened as he saw the two get jumped. Raph tensed as he crabbed one of his sais. It was getting out of hand. He would strike at the right moment. He waited, then lifted his hand, throwing the sai at the light. It exploded showering the ground with glass, plunging the alley into darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
"Let's go" Sarah felt herself lifted to her feet as she was dragged out of the alley. "Where to?" Sarah looked around and pulled Kyle's hand.
"This way, the foyer is just over here"
"You mean you're going back to Casey's?"
"Well.. yeah, they won't be back, it'll be light in an hour" she slowed after a few steps. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah i'll be fine, i'm just a little winded" They slowed walked up the stairs.
"So who do you think helped us? Andrew?" Sarah asked.
"I dunno, i'll have to ask him, you will be okay won't you?" Kyle asked, his expression full of concern.
"Yeah, just a little sore from the other day"
"I heard about that, are you sure you'll be okay?" They stopped outside of the appartment and Sarah reached for the spare key.
"Yeah, I gotta go" she whispered. She quietly opened the door and slipped into the apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Sarah looked down at her grubby appearance as she headed to the bathroom, now that would be obvious, she thought. She had checked on the others and they were still asleep she had also put the milk and the knife back. Her leg was aching and she knew what had to be done.
Sarah let out a sigh as she slipped into the hot bath. It was just the thing to ease her aching bones. The Radox bath crystals were doing their job as Sarah started to unwind. Before she knew it she had dozed off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Don woke as a breeze filled the room. Half asleep he rolled over expecting to see Sarah lying next to him.
"Sarah?" He called. Nothing. He sat up and looked around. "Sarah?" He called again. Nothing. He got up and went over to the slightly opened window. A little puzzled and worried he got up and looked around the apartment, only to bump into Casey.
"What?" Casey asked half asleep.
"Where's Sarah?"
"Huh? You mean she's not here?" Don didn't reply. "Are you sure...." Casey was cut off as Don went to check the bathroom, only to find the door locked.
"Sarah?" Nothing. He called again, then checked the handle again.
"I don't like this" Don mumbled. He pounded on the door. Nothing. "Sorry Casey"
"Huh?" Don stood back, then kicked the door in, just as Sarah awoke in a fright, she screamed when she saw them, crabbing the towel that was next to her, covering herself.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She shouted at them "GET OUT!!!!" They stood there stunned looking at her in the bath.
"Geez, I must have fallen asleep. GET OUT!!!"
"Sorry" an embassed Don said and he walked out taking Casey with him.
