Ch.2 – Bait

Ok, so I need to be sure that I will get jumped so I can be saved by those green creatures. Now how can I be sure of that? Kelly thought as she went through all of the reports she had on them. If she could figure out where she should be in New York to increase her chances that she would be rescued by these guys the more likely her plan was to succeed. She took out all the reports she had obtained on all the witnesses and found that one place hadbeen visited the most by these green people.Alright so it looks like I need to be near Baker and 12th street. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to wear. It should be a little slutty to ensure that I am attacked. Do I even own anything that slutty though? She thought as she started going through her closet, looking for the perfect outfit. At long last she found a pair of short shorts, a tight low-cut top, and a pair of sandals. She grabbed her purse and started taking things out. I don't want these guys to learn that I'm an FBI agent right away. They may not talk to me if they know that. I need to befriend them first so I can get as much information as I can before I let them know I'm FBI. She made sure her FBI identification card was put in her sock drawer. She thought about putting her gun in the small safe she had but decided to keep it in her purse, just in case she needed to use it. She also put her badge with her id card. After she was sure that she had everything she locked up and went to go put her plan into action.

As quietly as she could, April got dressed and headed out the door. She wanted to be very sure that it was what she thought it was before she told her husband the good news. At least she hoped he'd think it was good news. He better if he knows what's good for him. She thought as she pictured him being disappointed over it.

A few minutes later she walked into the nearest the drug-store to her apartment. She glanced down each aisle until she finally found the one she wanted. Unsure of which brand to get, April grabbed a couple just to be sure that she didn't get a false positive. Since it was late, she didn't have to wait in line to purchase her items.

"Hello M'am, How are you today?" The elderly lady at the check-out register said as she scanned the items.

"I've been better," April replied as she got out her debit card.

"Expecting are we? Well, congratulations hon," She commented as April paid for the items.

"Thanks, good-night," April said as she picked up the bag.

"You're welcome dear," She replied as April left the store.

"Ah, one of the turtles, I see," Shredder said as he saw his men bring in an unconscious Raph. He instructed them to tie him up to a post nearby.

"Master, what do you intend to do with it?" One of the foot asked.

"I will use him to lure the others out here and then I will crush them once and for all!" Shredder replied. He then ordered one of the foot to go deliver a personal message to his favorite reporter.

April was only a few blocks from her apartment when she was jumped and pulled into a back alley.

"Please, I don't have anything," She pleaded before she saw that it was a foot member, "You! What do you want this time? Does Shredder want a one-on-one interview on the 6'o'clock news?" She sarcastically asked him. He slapped her before answering, "Enough stupid girl. He wants you to inform the other turtles that he holds one of them captive and they should come to the abandoned storehouses out by the old train station," He waited for her to nod and left.

After picking up her things, she quickly ran into her apartment to call the turtles.

"Did you see his face when I told him, we had a gun?" A thug dressed in the traditional extreme baggy jeans, oversized t-shirt, a big chunky gold necklace, and several gold rings on both hands, asked his other thug friend. All three guys were dressed similar, except one wore a tank top; another wore a jacket over his tank top, and the first had on the t-shirt.

"Yea, man, he totally shit his pants!" The guy with the jacket exclaimed. They started laughing over this. Moments earlier they had held up a convince store. They didn't really have any guns on them so instead the thug in the jacket had put a hairbrush in his pocket, and they had all pretended that he had a gun. The poor elderly man who owned the store became so frightened that he gave them everything he had.

After laughing and making jokes about what took place at the convince store, they happened to see a young woman walking by. She was wearing a pair of pretty short shorts that showed of her long, sexy legs, a tight baby blue top that showed a lot of her cleavage, and a pair of brown strappy sandals on her feet. Her hair was a shiny copper red and was pulled into a bun with a sparkly blue butterfly clip in the back and she carried her brown purse on her left shoulder. The guys whistled when they saw her.

"Would you take a look at that? Woo! C'mon baby! Gimmie some of that!" The thug in the tank top called out at the girl. The three of them looked at each other and then at the girl. Well if they could get an old geezer to give them all of his money, then they could certainly get this gorgeous gal to give them what they wanted, now couldn't they?

"Michangelo! Where are your brothers?" Splinter asked as he came into the living room and saw his youngest son watching adult swim on the cartoon network channel.

"Leo's in the dojo as usual, Donnie's on his computer doing more research, and Raph went out," He answered without even looking up.

"Where did Raph go?"

"I dunno," Mikey said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"How long ago did he leave? Did he say when he would be back?" A worried Splinter asked.

"A few hours ago or so and nope he didn't say," was the reply from Mikey. This was not good. It was very dangerous for the turtles to be topside for extended periods at a time. Especially alone. He allowed his oldest son to go to the roof of April's apartment every once and awhile. Splinter knew that Leo wouldn't stay out for too long and would be extra careful that he wasn't seen. A few years back when they thought the Shredder was done for, he would've just rolled his eyes and went back to his room to meditate upon hearing of Raph's storming off yet again. But now after they were aware that the Shredder was still around somewhere and this FBI agent was trying to learn everything she could about his sons. Splinter knew what would happen if his sons were discovered by the FBI. For these reasons, Splinter made the new rule that his sons couldn't be topside for more than an hour at once, couldn't go out alone, and could only go out after dark. Raph was the only who had problems with these rules. His other sons had understood why he had to make them and were perfectly content to keep them. The sound of the telephone awoke Splinter from his thoughts.

"Hello?" Mikey asked after he got up to answer the phone on the second ring.

"Hey babe!" He exclaimed. Splinter assumed that April must be on the other line. He suspected that it wasn't good news, considering what time it was.

"Yea, alright. Thanks, I'll tell the guys, bye," Mikey sadly said as he hung up the phone. He turned to look over at Splinter and said, "I'll go get them in here." Mikey then left to go round up his two older brothers. After they were all in the living room, Mikey finally explained what the phone call had been about.

"This is all my fault," Leo said upon hearing that the foot yet again held Raph captive.

"He would've left anywhere," Donnie replied.

"Yea," Mikey added.

"It appears that you three have no choice. You must go meet the foot and save your brother, but remember that you must be on guard at all times. We have no idea what the Shredder is up to this time or what that FBI agent is doing," Splinter said. The three turtles nodded their heads in agreement. They all knew they had to go and get Raph and the possible risk they faced from going out to save him.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Kelly screamed as she tried to escape from the three thugs. They really weren't all that strong and she knew she could probably take them. But she was here to try and be rescued by the "green monsters" so she had to pretend that she couldn't fight back. This for Kelly was the hardest thing for her to do. She wanted so much to kick these guys' butts, but she couldn't allow herself to do that.

I hope these creatures get here soon. I am getting knocked around by a bunch of scum bags. I don't know how much longer I can resist this growing urge to kick in their ugly faces. Kelly thought as they continued to grab her and punch her. If they had been paying attention, they would've seen the shadows of three mutant turtles approaching. At last one of the guys got smart and decided to stop the woman's screams with a lead pipe. Kelly hit the ground with a thud right as the very people she was waiting for jumped in.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you, not to hit a woman?" A voice from among the night's shadows asked.

"Who's there?" The one wielding the lead pipe asked. They looked around trying to see where the voice had come from, but none of them could see anything.

"You know bros, I do believe these fellows should be taught a lesson,"Another voice suggested.

"Great idea. How about the attacking a defense-less woman lesson?"A third voice added. Though the thugs couldn't see whom the voices belonged to, the turtles all nodded in agreement. The thugs went down without much of a fight. Donnie was the first to rush over to the young woman. She had several bruises all over and some small cuts. The biggest injury was her head wound. She had a nasty bruise on the edge of her forehead from the lead pipe and from hitting the cement when she fell. There was also a considerable amount of blood coming from her head wound.

"We've gotta get her to the lair and treat her head wound," Donnie announced as he picked her up.

"What? We don't have time? We've got to go save Raph again. Can't we just drop her off at the hospital?" Leo asked. They didn't have much time to fool around, the night was almost over with and they still had to get Raph and come all the way back before dawn approached.

"I already thought about that. The nearest hospital is half-way across town, by the time we dropped her off there she could be dead. And we wouldn't save any time," Donnie explained. Leo sighed and said, "Alright, we'll return home and bandage her up. As soon as that is taken care of, we leave to go get Raph. We'll have Splinter watch her while we're gone," His younger brothers agreed and turned to go back to the lair.
