Chapter Two

"I said put your hands up!" the officer repeated.

"Should we?" Raph asked.

Donny and Mikey looked at Leo worried.

Leo glanced at the police officers and counted how many there were. "Yes." Leo rose his hands and his brothers copied him.

"Now come down from the roof!" all of the police officers jumped back afraid of the turtles. "Um," the officer saw their weapons. "Um, put your weapons down..."

"Are they afraid of us?" Mikey asked as he let go of his knunchucts.

"Their police officers," Leo put down his swords. "They shouldn't be."

"Well, they are." Donny dropped his bostaff.

Raph refused to let go of anything.

"I said put your weapons down! That includes you, Red!" the same officer yelled.

Leo glanced at Raph. "Raph! Put them down!"

"Why should I?" Raph asked.

"I said put them down now!"

"No!"

"Raphael, this is your leader speaking!"

"I'm aware of that, Leo. I'm staring right at you."

Leo glared at him.

Raph looked at all the police officers and realized that they were going to go nowhere with this, so he dropped everything.

"Thank you!" Leo glared at him one last time.

"Good. Now get in the cars. Red, number 92. Orange can go in number 95, Blue will go in number 96, and Purple, you can just follow me." the police officers spilt up and put the turtles into separte cars.

When they got at the police station, the turtles were put into square formation. Mikey's cell was next to Raph, Raph was across from Leo, Leo was next to Donny, and Donny was across from Mikey.

Donny was trying to call Master Splinter, April and Casey, but no one picked up. "What was the point of making these shell cells if no one even brings them along everywhere with them?"

"I bring mine." Leo said.

"Me too." Raph added.

They looked at Mikey as he smiled sweetly. "Mine's on my bed."

"I don't even know why I bother!" Donny yelled. "We'll never get out of here! We'll turn 73 and we'll still be in here! We'll turn 173 and still no one will have their shell cell!"

"Donny! Calm down..." Leo said. "We'll get out of here."

"In a long time, Leo...in a very long time!"

"I'll never get to finish my crossword puzzle..." Mikey complained.

"Oh, shut up! You were doing it wrong, anyway!" Donny yelled.

"I was?"

"Duh!"

"Why didn't you tell me!"

"Mikey, I know your stupid but your 15! You should know by now that pigs say oink, and dogs say woof!"

"Uh, oh..." Raph said.

"What?" Leo asked.

"Donny's going crazy!"

"Don't be silly, Raph! We've only been in here for about five minutes!"

"He is!"

"AND I'M NEVER GOING TO FINISH MY PROJECT!" Donny screamed.

"Holy shell, he is going crazy..." Leo said.

"Hey! Be quiet in there!" a police officer banged on the door that sealed the turtles in if they ever got out of their jail cells.

"OH, YOU BE QUIET!" Donny shouted.

"Donny, shut up!" Leo yelled nervously.

"I knew that some people who go to jail go crazy, but I've never expected that that would happen to someone I knew..." Raph said.

"You shut up, too!" Leo yelled.

"Why?"

"Because your talking!"

"Well, what else am I supposed to do?"

"Shut up!"

"Then what?"

"Nothing!"

"That's boring," Raph looked from Leo trying to calm Donny down, to Mikey sitting quietly. "What's wrong with you?"

"Just thinking about what one of the police officers said." Mikey replied.

"What did he say?"

"They didn't know who or what we are so they going to kill us..."

"...AND YOU WERE PLANNING TO TELL US THIS WHEN?"

"I don't know." Mikey backed away.

"What's going on?" Leo asked.

Donny stopped worrying.

"Mikey overheard one of the police officers saying that they don't know what we are, so their going to kill us!" Raph replied.

"WHAT!" Donny screamed.

"Mikey! Why didn't you tell us this sooner?" Leo yelled.

"Sorry..." Mikey answered.

"We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" Donny chanted.

"Donny, calm down. We'll be fine." Leo started calming Donny down all over again.

"Oh, God, just send a lightning bolt to kill us now! Please! I beg you!"

"Donny! Get a grip!" Leo shouted. "We are not going to die!"

"Then what's going to happen to us? And why did the police say they were going to kill us, huh?" Donny asked.

"I don't know what's going to happen to us, but all I know is that Mikey probably just misunderstood the police officers. That's all. So stop worrying about everything, will you?"

"Oh, sure Mikey misunderstood the police!" Raph glared at Leo. "Just like April probably misunderstood those three teenage boys!"

"That is not the same thing and you know it!"

"It's just as bad!"

"No, it's not!"

"STOP YELLING!" Mikey shouted. "If their going to kill us or not, we still have to get out of here!"

"I hate to admit it," Donny agreed. "But Mikey's right. Dead or alive, we have to get out of here."

"How?" Raph asked.

"That's the million dollar question, now isn't it?" Mikey replied.

Raph glared at him.

"Donny," Leo turned to him. "Try calling April again. Raph, try calling Casey, and I'll try calling Master Splinter. With any luck, we should be able to reach one of them."

Everyone took out their shell cells, except Mikey. "What about me? Who should I call?"

"You don't have your shell cell, remember? It's on your bed?" Leo said firmly.

"Right," Mikey said. "But what should I do, then?"

"Wait for us to be done with our phone calls." Raph answered.

Leo hung up. "Master Splinter's probabaly meditating."

Raph hung up afterwards. "Casey's probabaly still sleeping from the time he went to bed last night."

"At 3 p.m.?"

"It's Casey. We don't know what he does."

"True...true..."

"Hello, April? It's me, Donny." Donny smiled and gave a single to his brothers that obviously he got in touch with April. "I'm good, I guess. How are you? Good, good. Listen I need a favor. What do you mean your busy? You have a date with Casey? Well, this involves Casey. This is an emergency. April, don't flip out...listen there's--April? April, calm down...April! Stop! Please! Can I tell you what's going on now? Good. Thank you. Ok, there's no time to explain everything, but Leo, Mikey, Raph and I have been trying to reach you, Casey, and Master Splinter all morning. Your the only one who picked up your shell cell. What? Where are we? Ok, don't start flipping out again, but--we're in jail. April! What did I just tell you? Stop yelling! I can't understand you when you yell like that! April, stop! Please? This is really really important! Are you done now? Good, all right. Like I said, I don't have enough time to explain everything that happened. But Mikey overheard a couple of police officers and they said that they don't know who or better yet what we are and their planning to kill us. Now, we don't know if Mikey heard correctly or not, but--stop freaking out! Will you just shut up and let me talk? Please? Thank you! Now don't talk unless I tell you to! What I need for you to do--all right. I'm sorry I offended you. You can talk if you want. Just can I explain this? Thank you. What I--stop scolding me! I don't have much time to explain everything! I need to give you as much information as possible! What? Oh, I know I'm in jail and I'm not going anywhere, but--will you just pay attention to me? All right, ready? Good. What I need you to do for me is call Casey and Master Splinter. Tell them everything. Leo, Raph, Mikey and I are in jail and the police might kill us. Like I said, get Casey and Master Splinter. Then call back and I'll tell you what to do next, ok? Ok? Are you there? What do you mean you didn't hear me? You were eating. You know what, just get Casey and Master Splinter and then call me back, ok? Ok. Hurry up. Bye," Donny hung up. "I have never seen or heard her so unfocused in my entire life."

"The point is that she's going to get Casey and Master, right?" Leo asked.

"Right."
