"Wow,time for the fourth chapter already? This thing is going smoother than I originally thought. Now,All I have to do is get one of the guys to do the disclaimer...Hmmm. Who hasn't done it yet?"

: Thinks out loud:

" I dragged Don out of his lab last time,and Mikey did it on his own,so, that only leaves Leo and Raph.Hmm."

: Leaves the comp for a minute and returns with Leonardo in toe.:

" That's all I have to say?"

" Yep,that's it."

: She nods her head:

" Sounds easy enough. She is not the owner of TMNT or any of it's affiliates. "

" Thanks Leo"

: Bows and returns to his previous activities.she whispers:

" Course if I were the owner of TMNT, he would prolly take a break every now and then. Anyway,enjoy."

The shop was busy all day and she was glad when her shift was finally over. She didn't even wait for Dave to get off, instead

just walked by herself to the apartment she would soon be leaving behind.She sighed as she opened the apartment door.

Closing it behind her she headed for her bedroom. Mostly everything was already in boxes, but, they had yet to be taken to

the lair. Naturally, that part was left to her and she was glad since, certain things would have blown her cover. As she

entered the bedroom she ritualistically removed her hat and tossed it on the bed, than turned on her stereo, cranking the

volume. As the music went on she began going through and packing the contents of her dresser. As she packed most of her

clothes she tucked some of her smaller girly things into the box with them, making sure to hide them from view. Moving

some of the things on the top of her dresser, she noticed the spiked bracelets and the large,heavy, pewter cross she had

bought a while back.

"So, that's where those went."

She said, moving them out from under the pile of stuff. She started taking her undergarments out of the top drawer and

putting them into the box. As she continued to do so, a small picture fell to the floor. It was pretty old and worn around the

edges but,the picture itself was more than clear. Kneeling down she picked it up, looked at it, and her eyes welled up. In the

picture there stood five people, Two adults, a man and a woman, and three children, two boys and one girl, they were all

smiling. They were her family, her mother and father and her two brothers,the way she remembered them before their lives

were taken. Wiping away a tear that creeped down her cheek, she placed the picture in the box and returned to her packing.

Half an hour went by and she heard a strange noise come from Daves apartment. She didn't think too much of it at first and

just shrugged it off. Than she heard a loud crashing sound.

"What the hell?"

She said, rushing over to her stereo, turning it off. The crashing continued and she thought she heard Daves voice say something.

"SHIT!"

She spat, hearing her front door fly open, as she surveyed the room for anything she could use to defend herself. She had

packed most of her things already but, she noticed the bracelets and the cross still sitting on the dresser. She also

remembered that she could use the thick chain hanging around her neck. Taking it off, she rushed over to the dresser where

she began wrapping the bracelets around the palms of her hands, fastening them so that they were more like knuckle

guards. Then, taking the cross in one hand and the chain in the other she positioned herself in a fighting stance, one foot

behind the other, and both fists up. Sure enough, someone burst through the bedroom door. When he saw her he seemed a

bit confused though, she couldn't tell through the mask he wore. At the moment, he was the only one she saw and he threw a

kick in the direction of her mid section. She dodged by

stepping aside and wrapped the chain around his leg, giving a violent yank, she sent him to the floor and slammed her fist

into his face. A second guy came in and threw a punch towards her. She ducked, dropping to her right knee and threw a hard

fast punch into his mid section with her left than, stood throwing an uppercut with her right. He fell back and she jumped over

him out of the room, out of the apartment, and into the hallway. Quickly, she looked around and saw more of them waiting at

the end of the hall. One of them spotted her and pointed in her direction, as the others followed him.

" Oh Shit!"

She spat, taking off in the other direction. She rushed down the stairs, leading to the back alley of the apartment, and kept

going, entering the alley within seconds. She kept running through the back alleys, looking behind her as the men continued

to follow. Suddenly, she was ambushed from the front, by a massive group of them.

" Son of a Bitch !"

She shouted, and turned on her heels mid sprint, attempting to lose them from a different direction. Her attempt failed and

she was caught by one of them from the back. He held her arms behind her and she stomped on his foot with the enormous

heel of her shoe. He let go and she tried to take off again but, was grabbed by the arm and held tightly. Another masked

man came up in front of her and began to speak, his voice made her sneer in sheer disgust.

" Well, this is a surprise, all this time I thought you were a guy, yet ,here you stand, a woman, and a fairly attractive one at that."

The sneer on her face remained and she spoke between clenched teeth, in a seething tone.

" Dave "

She said, keeping her eyes fixated on the masked person in front of her. He removed the mask and stared at her smirking.

" I thought you would recognize me."

He said, with a wicked look in his eye. He glanced up and down her body and ran a hand over her cheek. She moved her face

away from his hand but, kept her eyes on him. In response to her action he back handed her, causing her mouth to bleed.

"Too bad."

He said, as a cloth came over her face.She started to feel dizzy and then everything went black.

Well, Looks like she's in a bit of trouble now ain't she?

" Do I got to do everything around here?"

" No,you still haven't done the disclaimer yet,and the story is Primarily about YOU."

" AH,you know how many of those things I done already?"

" NO, Raph,I don't, I'm not up to speed on how many people are in your fan base."

" You're a smart ass,you know that?"

: He crosses his arms and she grins:

" So,I've been told."
