Why is it...Pt 2

The black clothed figure finally stopped laughing as he doubled over from laughter. He had never been in a base with such bad security. He never should have been able to pull a stunt like that, and then to escape without anyone following him? He knew his mission was over and he would have to leave America soon, but something kept him there. It had to be insanity, he wanted to see if he could still pull the same stunt.

Duo started to run again, and rounded a turn in the sewer with out looking before he turned. To late he noticed a figure in the dark, apparently the figure also noticed him to late. Duo was able to make out the dozen or so boxes in it's hands right before his face found the boxes the hard way.

Mickey had just gotten what everyone in the layer hoped was enough pizzas. Leo had given him specific orders not to eat the pizzas. After leaving Vinnie's he'd entered the sewers and started to go home the normal way. Lost in his own thoughts he'd never even heard the sounds of anyone running. The boy exploded around the corner, running like death was on his heels. Mickey was able to make out surprise appear in his eyes a second before he slammed into him.

The two slammed into each other and the pizza boxes went flying into the air. Neither boy or turtle were able to move fast enough to avoid getting covered in pizza as the boxes opened in midair and released the still oven hot pizza.

Duo let lose a gasp and yipped in pain when a hot piece of pizza oozed down his shirt and began to burn his back. Duo thrashed for a second and felt arms suddenly push him against the wall. He was dimly aware that somewhere down the sewer voices of the OZ guards could be heard, and in the back of his mind he realized maybe mocking Treize and Zecks hadn't been such a good idea. The person holding him threw the thrashing boy over his shoulder and began to run. Duo was only aware of the pain of the pizza scalding his skin. The piece in his shirt was still burning him and his head felt like it was on fire.

The OZies started to fire and he felt a bullet pass through his left shoulder. The pain just added to his agony.

Duo was barely able to stay conscious. The creature carrying him entered another tunnel at an intersection, and closed a door behind him.

Mickey picked up the boy after the pizza's landed on them. While he was in pain, the human teen was in more of it. The boy had started to thrash to try and rid himself of the pain. He could hear people coming from the direction the boy had come from.

Mickey began to run and felt like he was going to get away when he heard gun shots. The boy yelped in pain when a bullet passed through his shoulder and Mickey felt guilty. Knowing the boy was in no shape to run on his own Mickey ran to the old layer. He closed the door and hoped whoever was after this boy wouldn't be able to find them. Mickey was also glad he had taken the time to fix the place up, at the time he had no idea why he had done it.

Mickey laid the boy on the ground and went to the sink. He was both amazed and thankful when the sink turned out to work. Finding a rag he washed it clean with cold water then filled the sink with lukewarm water. He went back and got the boy and carried him into the kitchen, placing him on the kitchen table. He carefully opened the boys shirt, and moved it so he could see his shoulder. The bullet was still in the wound, however he hadn't lost to much blood. Mickey cleaned the wound, jumping each time the boy moaned in pain. After getting the wound clean he wrapped it to try and stop the bleeding. He then moved on to the burns. The boy's hair was completely soaked in sauce and his face was covered.

Cleaning the rag, Mickey soaked it in cold water and cleaned the spot where the pizza had burned him. The skin was red, but luckily the burns wouldn't require medical attention. He then cleaned the boy's face. Glancing at the three foot long braid he decided to leave it for a while. Finishing with the boy Mickey moved on to cleaning himself, and managed to get all of the remains of the pizza off of him.

Mickey went back to the door and listened. He didn't hear anyone and after glancing out into the sewers to make sure no one was there he went back and grabbed the boy. This time he carried the boy in his arms to try and not hurt the wounded shoulder anymore.

"Well Mickey, it's about time you're here." Donny called when Mickey appeared at the door.

"Let me guess, you ate the pizzas?" Raph asked.

"Where's Splinter?" Michelangelo asked, ignoring their questions.

Mickey carried the unconscious boy to the couch. Leo, Venus, and Splinter came into the room when they heard Mickey.

"What happened?" Leo demanded.

"Ask later, take care of him first."

Splinter leaned down to look closer at the boy when his eyes shot open in pain and his un-injured hand went to his gun.
