Thanks for the review! Here is the latest chapter! I am hoping to have a better word processor soon so my formatting will look better! Please read and review!
It was still blissfully dark when Leo awoke. He was shocked momentarily to find that he was not alone under the covers before memories of the night before chased away his confusion and left him smirking up at the cracked ceiling.
After a few moments the dryness of his throat pulled him from the warmth of his bed and sent him out into the cold hallway in search of water. He stumbled through the dark hall to sleepy to take note of his surroundings. He crossed through the living room and into the kitchen flipping the light on as he went he turned on the water and waited for it to chill before something caught his attention. The softest of sounds coming from the living room, he left the water running as he crept to the kitchen door .
He leaned around the old frame and peered into the darkness he saw nothing , no big surprise there after all everyone in here was a ninja. He ducked back in deciding that the only way to find out who was there was to wait until they came out.
He filled his glass and drank it down before filling it again and stumbling back through the living room as though he had heard nothing. He ran lightly to his room to retrieve his weapons careful not to wake Miha and then paused in the hall just out of sight and waited. Seconds ticked by in total silence , then the seconds gave way to minutes , so many that he was beginning to think he was hearing things.
Then slowly like ink dripping from a pen tip a lean black figure dropped down in silent smooth motion from the shadows, Karai. She paused and looked in his direction perhaps wondering if anyone was still there, Leo held his breath although he was confident she couldn't see him.
He was right. After a brief pause she cleared her way through the room in long elegant swift strides. He waited eyes closed body tensed listening for the subtle sound of the door closing, when he heard it he sprang from his hiding spot and ran after her knowing full well that the few seconds she had would give her one hell of lead.
He chased her through the shadows for what felt like forever before she finally came to rest in an old warehouse. He crept silently along the roof and inside before settling himself in the shadowy rafters of the old building.
Karai paced the floor bellow in silence she appeared to be waiting rather impatiently for someone to show. She didn't have to wait long! With a whirl of smoke four figures appeared in the warehouse, Leo's heart stopped for a moment it was Shredder's elite guard.
"Report" Karai demanded in a harsh tone.
"No news mistress" The first stated bowing.
"We have searched everyone Mistress" The second continued.
"Everywhere!" Karai shouted " Everywhere? Every alley? Every back street? Every dumpster, ever park field yard home?" She ranted kicking out and the nearest one knocking him flat to the ground.
"You will NOT tell me you have searched everyone until you comb every last INCH of this filthy wretched city" She ordered coldly " You will not stop until you find him"
"And if we do not" A guard questioned obviously not fearful of Karai's anger.
"You will" She said firmly before turning to pace again.
After a few minutes of pacing she spoke " How many have you found?"
" A few , not many , a couple dozen at most" Came the reply.
" Gather them here, I wish to prepare them" She said "We must be ready"
"Yes mistress" They said together bowing out and disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Karai strode out the door without hesitation leaving Leo scrabbling to follow. He quickly climbed up and out of the building but to his surprise when scanned the surrounding area Karai was gone.
"Damn" He cursed turning to run for home he needed to tell Master Splinter what he had seen, the elite lived, the foot were still out there and Karai had escaped. He only hoped she would be too busy to bother leading anyone back to the dark little corner of the sewer he called home.
