Part One: Tara
April O'Neil wasn't a stupid girl. Actually, she just was the best TV reporter in all New York City, (and even if a part of her knew it, she would have never admit it) and she was in high favour with most of the important people in the news sector.
So, she knew it was dangerous for her to walk alone in the city streets at nigth.
But that night she had some very trustworthy bodyguards with her. Of course she couldn't see them, but she was sure they were there, somewhere.
She hated to ask a favour like this of them, but that night her chief made she doing overtime, because of a drug scandal which occurred that day in the morning, and she was afraid of going home all alone because it was REALLY late, so she asked them to watch over her during that nigth walk. But afterall, they had seemed very pleased to help when she asked them to.
Only Raph didn't seem very enthusiastic about the idea. He said something like "I have enough of babysitting", but of course she knew him enough to realize he didn't really think it.
It was a cold winter night. April couldn't help but shiver, although she was wearin an heavy coat, but anyway the road was clear and she felt safe.
At least until she heard a dull noise comin from a dark spot. But when she focused on that direction, she could see a slice of Pizza on the ground.
"Sorry, it felt from my hand! Could you please give it back to me?" said a voice comin from nowhere.
April smiled silently, than took the pizza from the ground and threw it in the air.
The slice of pizza disappeared in the shadow, while the woman shook her head still smiling. Mikey was such a baby!
April walked on, now sure more than ever that she was safe from any kind of danger.

"The target is comin' over here!" said the man, talking into a walkie talkie.
"Is she alone?" asked back a metallic voice from the transmitter.
"It seems so.."
"Fine, but be cautious"
"Why? She's just a.."
"No, she's not "just a..", otherwise I wouldn't have sent twelve of my best ninja only to kidnapp her! stay alert!"
"Roger!"
The man cut off the call, than went back in his dark hideout, waiting for his victim.
And finally she arrived.
The man stretched his muscles, preparing to jump at her..
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
April was close to her apartment. Of course now she could afford a new, bigger house, but she didn't need it. She was happier there.
Finally, her house was risght behind that corner..
A scream broke the silence of the night. It sounded like a girlish scream.
April was very scared, of course, but as the reporter she was she ran into the direction the scream had come from.
While running, she saw four shadows on the roof of a building close to her running in her same direction. But they were much faster.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
In the street, a little girl, about 6 years old, with red hair and blue eyes was cryin' out loud, sorrounded by twelve ninjas. Their uniform were all black with red bandanas but they had no "foot clan" mark on them.
One of them talked to the girl:
"Be quiet! We won't hurt you! The leader wants you alive and unharmed".
That didn't really calm the girl down, who kept on screaming.
Than, suddenly, four shadowy figures appeared from nowhere, making the little girl crying even more. she calmed down a bit when she realized they were fighting against her aggressors.
But anyway what could they do? They were four against twelve!
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
April arrived only ten minutes later and what she saw would have left anyone ( but her) perplexed: twelve ninja guys unconscious all tide up, hanging by a rope on a street lamp. No one else was there anymore.
Then she saw the little girl, and hurried to her.
"Are you all right?" April asked, while kneeling in front of her to see if she got harmed.
The little girl simply nodded, still sobbing, and April asked her again:
"Where are your parents, darling?"
"I.. I don't know"
"Ok, so where do u live?"
"I don't remember"
"You mean you don't remember your address?"
"I don't know..."
Now April was a bit perplexed, but she tried to comfort the girl.
"Ok, you know what we do now? We call the police to take care of these bad guys"
One of the ninja, still tied and stunned, moaned.
"My... head... It aches..."
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The police men arrived a few minutes later, and April didn't miss the opportunity to interview them.
Before leaving, a police man asked the little girl a few questions, but it resulted she didn't remember a thing about herself. Finally they left leavin her alone with April who offered to put her up for the night.
"You'll see, my House is not far from here. It's small, but comfortable. Anyway, I'm April O'Neil. What's your name?"
"Tara..."
"Well, nice to meet you, Tara!"
They walked both silently for a bit, then Tara said:
"Why didn't you asked me who saved me?"
Hey, sure this girl was quick witted!
"I didn't?" April asked, trying to sound convincing.
"No you didn't" the little Tara replied, but then she said nothing else, with April's relief.
But while walking, Tara often turned her head to the dark roof of a building, looking for something... or someone.
