Chapter Five
"They what!" Raph yelled.
"They shot Casey!" April repeated.
"Casey's dead?" Donny asked.
"No, they--" April started.
"So, he's ok?" Mikey asked.
"No, he's--" April tried to explain again.
"What happened?" Leo asked.
"I'm trying to tell you!" April yelled.
"Sorry..." everyone said.
"They shot him to put him to sleep and now he's in a staight jacket!" April finally said.
"You know, I always pictured Casey in a straight jacket, but I never thought that it would actually happen to him." Raph thought for a minute.
"Raph, this is serious. Do you not realize that?" Leo asked.
"Yes, I realize that! I was just saying..." Raph glared at Leo.
"After what we just went through, we have to go back?" Mikey asked.
"Yep." Donny replied.
"No." Master Splinter said.
"No?" Donny repeated.
"You boys and I cannot put ourselves in any more danger than we already are." Master Splinter said.
"Good point..." Leo agreed.
"Then what are we supposed to do? How do we get Casey out of there?" April asked worriedly.
"We wait." Master Splinter left.
"For what?" April turned to Leo who just shrugged.
"So, we're supposed to do nothing about it?" Mikey asked.
"Yep." Donny answered.
"No." Raph said.
"No?" Donny mocked.
"Stop." Raph glared at him.
"Sorry." Donny sat down.
"What do you mean no?" Leo stood up.
"I mean no because we have to do something about this!" Raph replied.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Bust him out. What else?"
"But didn't you hear Master Splinter?"
"We all heard him! But do we ever listen to him?"
"No."
"Then what makes this time any different from all the other times?" Raph asked.
"We could get killed?" Leo replied.
"Guys, we have to do something." April said.
"And we will!" Raph said.
We will?" Donny and Mikey glanced at Leo.
Leo sighed seeing there was no way he was going to win this battle. "We will. Let's go."
"What about Master Splinter?" Mikey asked.
"Sneak out like we usually do." Leo answered.
"You sure?" April asked.
"Positive!" Raph started leaving with everyone behind him.
"We are so dead!" Donny started running to catch up.
At the jail house...
"Do you know which cell he's in?" Leo asked.
"No." April replied.
"What part of the jail house he's in?" Raph asked.
"Sorry. They pushed me out once they got him in the straight jacket." April explained.
"So, how do we get him out?" Mikey asked.
"Search the whole jail house, I guess." Raph answered.
"We can't do that!" Donny said.
"Donny's right. We could get caught by the police." Leo said.
"Actually," Donny started. "I was going to say that it'll take too long and--"
"So?" Raph asked.
"Can I finish?" Donny glared at him.
"Whatever. Just hurry up."
"I'm trying."
"Just say what you have to say!" April yelled.
"Ok, ok! Anyway, I was going to say that it would take too long to find him. Master Splinter isn't stupid. He'll find out sooner or later that we left." Donny explained.
"He's right. We have to hurry. We can't get caught, though." Raph said.
"How can we hurry and not get caught at the same time?" Mikey asked.
"Split up." Leo replied.
"Good plan!" Raph smiled.
"But--" Mikey was about to say something but Leo got there first.
"We'll all go different directions. April? You stay here and stay safe! In other words, keep hidden. Guys, let's go!" Leo ordered as Raph, Donny, Mikey and him spilt up.
"What?" April yelled after them. "NO!" April started running after Raph.
"April?" Raph turned around to hear April running behind him. "What the shell are you doing?"
"The same thing your doing." April replied.
"Safing Casey?"
"What else are you doing?"
"April, no. I can't let you help."
"What? Why?"
"Because, you should just go back to where you were and stay hidden. You'll be safer."
"I don't care. I'm going."
"April, we don't have time for this!"
"Then I suggust you take me with you because I am never going to leave your side and I am never going to listen to you."
"Alright, alright! Let's go! But only because I want to get Casey out of there fast before something happens to him and Master Splinter finds out that we've gone."
"Ok. Don't wory. I'll be fine."
"Ok, keep up!" Raph and April started running to all the cell windows to find which one he was in.
Ring! Ring!
"What?" Raph picked up his shell cell.
"Did you find him, yet?" Mikey asked.
"No! Now get off the phone and continue searching!"
"Ok, but I checked on April, and she's not there! I don't know what happened to her!"
"She's with me."
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"I thought Leo told her to stay hidden?"
"She's being stubborn! Now, get off the phone!" Raph hung up on Mikey.
"I am not being stubborn!" April glared at Raph.
"Oh, come on, April!" Raph pouted. "I'm not in the mood. Just help me look for Casey."
"Ok, ok!"
Ring! Rng!
"What now?" Raph yelled through the shell cell.
"Will you calm down?" Donny asked.
"Sorry. Mikey just called acting like an idiot."
"That wasn't an act, that was himself."
"Yeah, well, whatever, what do you want?"
"I found Casey's jail cell. I guess I'll call Mikey to tell him, since your not in the mood. Can you call Leo for me and tell him?"
"Yeah, sure."
"What happened?" April asked.
"Ok, see you in a couple of minutes." Donny said.
"What happened?" April asked.
"Ok. Bye." Raph hung up the phone.
"What happened?" April asked again.
"Can you wait?" Raph replied.
"No, what happened?" April repeated.
"Donny found Casey and he's gonna call Mikey and I have to call Leo to tell him. Now hold on."
"Ok." April sat down.
"Leo? It's me, Raph." Raph said.
"Oh, hi. What is it?" Leo asked.
"Try to find Donny. He just called me saying that he found Casey's jail cell. Mikey and I are gonna try to find him, so I guess you should try, too."
"Ok. I'll see you in a minute."
"Right." Raph hung up the phone.
"Ready?" April asked.
"Yep."
Outside Casey's window...
"What are we waiting for?" Mikey asked. "Let's break in!"
"Wait a minute!" Leo stopped everything. "Donny and Mikey will break in. Got that?"
"Yep." Mikey and Donny answered.
"But, you won't be able to carry Casey out of the cell through the wondow. You'll have to go out through the front door. So, Raph and I will go through the front door, take out any police officer we come across, meet you somewhere in the halls, and we'll help you get Casey out. Ok?" Leo asked.
"Ok." everyone answered.
"What do I do?" April asked.
"Stay safe." Leo, Donny, Mikey, and Raph said. Then they left.
"Jerks." April pouted.
