Overseer returned to the station with no fanfare. He was glad for that. It gave him a few moments of silence in his office to consider his next move before trying to capture the two mutants he had recently seen. He walked into the control room and as usual, found Caitlin at the booth as she watched Jake and M training below. He walked in quietly and stared for a moment at Caitlin. He knew what she saw in Jake and why she was attracted to the well built agent but, that didn't stop him from wanting her himself. As soon as he was successful in capturing the other two mutants, he would work on taking Caitlin for his own. "Ahem…." he made the noise abruptly but softly.

Caitlin jumped in her seat. "Oh!" she turned to the source of the noise. "I'm sorry sir; I didn't realize you were standing there." Overseer nodded towards and walked over. "How long have you been back?" Caitlin questioned. She was a little concerned. She definitely didn't want him to be privy to any of the conversations that were held when it was thought to be safe.

"I only returned a few minutes ago," he said casually while staring at the action a few floors below. A small blur of white caught his eye. He leaned forward to get a better look. "Caitlin, why is there a bandage on M's hand?"

"Oh that?" Caitlin hesitated a moment. This man always made her nervous. "The tracking chip under his hand must have been damaged in the fight he got into so I pulled it out and replaced it with a new one. This one has a more powerful range in its signal so we have a larger area to follow him with."

"I see," Overseer said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "How wide a signal are we talking about?" He turned to look at her.

Caitlin turned in her chair and touched a few buttons on the screen. A red outline of M appeared on the screen with a flashing white light emanating from his left hand. A series of numbers appeared on the bottom corner of the screen. "We can track him from anywhere now, no matter where he is. This tracking chip is more of a GPS. Plus, see those numbers?" She pointed to the screen. "This chip also monitors his heart rate, blood pressure and body temp."

"Excellent, excellent." Overseer leaned back in his chair and began tapping his fingers together. "You and Jake received your bonuses. They should show up in your offshore accounts within 12 hours. Did the mutant decide on anything?" The sneer that slowly emerged on Overseers face showed that he really didn't care but he was trying to make pleasant conversation with Caitlin.

Caitlin had already turned away from him and didn't notice the menacing look. "Actually no, he said he really can't think of anything. I believe Jake was going to take him out for burgers later just to do something for him."

"Very well, I'll allow it," he sneered.

They never asked for your permission Caitlin thought to herself. The sooner we're all out of here the better.

"Jacob," Overseer spoke into the small microphone and his voiced boomed into the room below. Both figures stopped and looked upward, breathing heavily. "Meet me in my office in five minutes. I have M's next assignment waiting."


Several hours later, Jake and M were on their way to pick up some dinner. "So where are we headed?" M asked.

"I was thinking of burgers, that sound good to you?" Jake kept his eyes on the road.

"Works for me." M looked around and noticed that they were no where near a burger joint. He thought about questioning Jake but he knew Overseer would be listening in so he tried to be patient as Jake pulled up in front of a junk shop.

Jake turned to M with his finger to his lips indicating that his young friend remain silent. M nodded in return to show he understood. Jake got out and entered the store while M remained in the truck. He turned the radio up really loud just in case someone was listening in.

A small chime rang as Jake entered the shop. "I'm sorry sir, we're closed," a female voice called out from behind a shelf.

"I just need to drop off a note to a mutual friend of ours," Jake answered back.

Wondering if the stranger was talking about her turtle friends, April came out from behind the shelf to see who was talking. "Who are you looking for?"

Jake smiled. "You're April, right?"

"Yes? Who are you?" April wasn't sure, but she thought this might be the guy Casey had told her about.

"I'm Jake. I met your friend Casey the other night." Jake slid an envelope towards April. "This is for Leonardo, it's about his brother Raphael."

"I understand," April took the envelope "I'll make sure Leo gets this tonight."

Jake nodded thanks and walked out of the store, April locking the door behind him. Immediately she called down to the lair and told them she was on her way with a message.


Overseer was walking down the hallway of the station. He was headed to the control room in the hopes that he could log onto Caitlin's computer. He wanted to see if there was anything on there that they had not been telling him. He was hoping he would find information concerning the other mutants. As he neared the control room, he could see the light on, Caitlin was working late. He had hoped she would be out with Jake and M but no such luck this time. He had tried before but she kept changing the password and security codes on her computer, preventing anyone but her from logging in.

"Didn't feel like going out for hamburgers tonight?" he asked her while leaning in the doorway.

Startled for a moment, Caitlin looked up to see Overseer staring at her. It made her skin crawl. "Oh, no sir. I have had to endure that several times and do not, I repeat, do not want to go through that again." She shook her head and laughed, trying to appear relaxed like nothing was wrong. It seemed to be working for the moment.

"Why is that?" Overseer walked into the room, now curious as why she hadn't accompanied them.

Caitlin went back to her screen but continued her conversation. "If you're brave enough and really want to know, flip that switch over to the left. The one that's above the switch for the speaker downstairs." She cringed as Overseer walked over, she knew what was coming.

Overseer placed his finger on the switch, not sure if he wanted to turn it on. Why would she suggest that I listen in on Jake and the mutant? Surely it cannot be that bad. Without hesitation, Overseer flipped the switched. His ears met with a plethora of noises and it took a moment for his ears to discern what they were exactly.

"Munch, slurp, belch, grunt, munch, smack, slurp" and the noises continued on.

As soon as Overseer realized what he was listening to, he immediately flipped off the switch. "That's disgusting! I can understand why you decided not to accompany them." He shook his head in disbelief and walked back to the doorway.

"If you think hearing is bad," Caitlin said with a giggle, "You should try seeing it too."

Overseer cringed and turned a bit of a pale shade at the suggestion. "No thank you." He paused for a moment and thought a little longer. "You witnessed this?"

"Several times" Caitlin nodded and then made a face. "After about the fifth or sixth time, I decided I couldn't' take anymore. Etiquette really should have been on his education agenda." She made a dramatic face just to get her point across.

Overseer held up his hand to indicate he had heard enough. "I wish you had said something sooner. You could have gotten a raise or hazard pay for enduring through a fiasco such as that. Good night." And he began the walk to his office.

"Good night sir," Caitlin said without looking up. She giggled a little and then became a little bit louder when she was sure Overseer was out of ear shot.

Out at the overlook by the planetarium, M lay on the same picnic table as before. Jake sat on the tailgate of the truck, both quietly eating at their burgers. "Jake," m spoke up. "That CD has to be the most disgusting thing I've ever heard man."

"I know. Hey if you think it's disgusting to listen to, what do you think Overseer said when he heard it?" Jake started to laugh at the thought.

"Jake," M shook his head, "I'm eating man, don't ruin my appetite with visions of his wrinkly old face."

"Sorry," Jake tried not to laugh too hard at the risk of having soda shoot out his nose. He calmed down after a few moments and began eating his burger and fries again.

"So," M started, already done with his food. "What's the plan to get me outta here?"


"What's the plan Leo?" Casey asked, after Leonardo had explained the note. Everyone waited to hear what their leader would say.

"Sorry guys," Leonardo apologized. "Jake wasn't specific. He just said that they have a plan to get Raphael out of there and we're to meet him tomorrow night. He gives a time and a location but nothing else." Leonardo handed the note over to his father. "Sensei?"

Splinter read the note and passed it around for everyone else to read. "It appears Leonardo, we have no choice but to wait until tomorrow."


AN: Okay, short chapter I know. I'm not real thrilled with it. It seems really choppy and not quite up to par with the way I usually write. I guess I just wasn't feeling it today but I wanted to get this part put out before I started on the next chapter. Hopefully next chapter will be the last one and then an epilogue to follow. This is the actual end though. If anyone wants me too, I'll continue this as a series of sorts. I'm already grinding the gears on a sequel where Overseer gets his revenge. As always, thanks for reading, now please review.
