Ch. 1 – Discovery

"You're late Agent Quinn. Take a seat," A balding man in a suit instructed a young woman also in a nice suit, but a feminine one. They were sitting in an office in the FBI building, overlooking New York City.

"I'm so sorry for being late. My car wouldn't start and I –" Kelly started to explain. She knew Agent Morgan wanted to talk about the investigation. A few days ago she had heard rumors that he was siding with the accident theory. She was very worried that he was going to remove her from the case.

"You're always late for one reason or another.-" Agent Morgan stated. It was true. Kelly was constantly running late to everything. Her co-workers often joked that she'd be late to her own wedding.

"But I-"

"No buts, Quinn. Let's just cut to the chase, shall we?" Agent Morgan said as he looked through some papers.

"Sure," Kelly sighed. Great. Just Great. I can tell this is going to be a long day.

"What's your theory on these green creatures?" He asked her.

"I think they might be people in some kind of costume. And I believe they're connected to the explosion somehow,"

"Did you know that some doctors explained that the eye witnesses, who saw these people, were likely blinded by the explosion, kind of like when someone takes your picture and you see spots in front of your eyes?"

"Yes but what about the reports from people who weren't at the explosion site?"

"Simple hallucinations from whatever drug or drugs they were taking,"

"Maybe, but I don't think-"

"Well I do. And so does everyone else. This has been going on for over a year now. We have no evidence to suggest that this was more than an accident-"

"Yes we do!" Kelly exclaimed as she shot up from her chair.

"Agent Quinn! Sit down!" Kelly stood for a moment before finally sitting down.

"I'm going to have to close this case for you.-"

"You can't do that! What about the dynamite in the other rooms and outside?"

"Poor housekeeping. And I can too close this case. I don't want to hear anymore talk about these green creatures,"

"That's not fair! I've never had a case that I didn't solve!"

"This will be your first then,"

"I know I can solve it! I just need to find those people-"

"I said no more talk of them. I'm putting you on a paid vacation for a few weeks. I suggest you rest up and get this silly idea out of your head," Kelly shook her head in disbelief and left Agent Morgan's office.

"Raph! C'mon! I'm gonna miss Family Guy," Mikey stated as he tried to take the remote from his brother.

"I want to watch wrestling," Raph shot back.

"You've been watching espn for hours. It's my turn," Mikey and Raph continued to argue over the TV set until Leo walked in.

"It's Mikey's turn, Raph," Leo said as he snatched the remote from Raph and handed it to Mikey.

"Fine, then I'm going to find out what the Shredder is up to these days," Raph said back as he went to put on his brown trench coat and hat.

"No you're not! Master Splinter hasn't given his okay to go after Shredder yet!" Leo called out and went to go block the exit.

"So I can't watch TV and I can't go after Shredder before he comes for us. Is there anything else I can't do, oh fearless leader?" Raph said through clenched teeth as he stared Leo down.

"I never said I was your fearless leader. If I was, I'd be the one going to find Shredder before he gets us,"

"So why don't ya?"

"You know why,"

"Oh yea. That's right. You're the teacher's pet and you'd never disobey him, even if he's wrong,"

"Master Splinter is never wrong,"

"This time he is, now if you'll excuse me," Raph said and pushed Leo out of the way and bolted for the exit.

"Ugh! I can't believe that man put me on paid vacation for three weeks!" Kelly screamed as she started to beat up the punching bag. She knew she sounded silly with her belief in the green creatures, but her instincts were telling her to go with it. Unfortunately, everyone else just thought she was crazy. I can't leave this case unsolved like this. If only I could prove somehow that these green creatures are real, Agent Morgan would have to let me come back to work. Hey, I could even investigate these creatures myself. Now how do I pull this off?

Kelly stopped beating the punching bag and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. She sat down at her small, round table in the kitchen after fetching a cold drink of water for herself. For a few minutes she pondered over everything she had learned so far about them. One, was they were believed to be behind every bad guy the police had found tied up or dumped on the footsteps of the police headquarters. Two, they didn't want to get involved as they were always hiding in the shadows and weren't seen much. And three, no one knew exactly who or what they were. Only a few were able to describe them as being "green monsters".

Wait a minute. There were also reports that they protect the innocent. So maybe if I went out and was attacked then maybe these things would come to my rescue? And I could finally learn the truth. Sounds suicidal, but I think it's worth a shot.

Oh no not again. A curly red-headed female thought as she ran from the bed, she shared with her husband, to the nearest toilet. After emptying her stomach contents, she placed her hand on her forehead. Nope, I don't have a fever. What's wrong with me? I've been throwing up constantly for the past week now.

"C'mon April, think. What could it be?" April O'Neil-Jones said to her reflection in the bathroom mirror. After a few moments, she finally realized what it was.

"Oh my god," April gasped as she put her hand over her mouth. Her eyes went wide and she glanced in the direction where her husband, Casey Jones, laid.

"So does anyone know what our Master Shredder is having Thomas do with all those chemicals?" One foot member said to the other. It was a group of fifteen members. For the past year, Shredder had put his top scientists on a top-secret assignment. Every now and then some of the foot members would be sent out to retrieve supplies. And they had just returned from such a trip.

"No, but there's talk that some guys might try to overthrow our Master," The second guy said. A small fraction of the foot clan felt that Shredder was in no position to lead anymore. If it weren't for the fact that Shredder still had most of the control, these few guys would have acted all ready.

"Yea, I heard that. I also heard they're looking for more support before they try anything," Another one said.

"Does anyone know who these guys are? You know Shredder will—Holy crap! Isn't that one of them turtles?" One of the foot members asked right as he spotted Raph coming down the street.

AN: Yea the first chapter is done! So what do y'all think of the improved sequel so far? I'd luv to hear what you think! Thanks for reading!
