chapter 6

Sitting by the window, lightly pulled the curtain back as she peered out whilst she assured her safety is kept number one priority. Sensed without realising her intuition had alerted, leaving a sense of danger that lurked nearby. Keeping a eye vigilantly open, including her ears aware of the presence that stalked her every move on the journey of unknown. A suspicious vehicle had parked in the shadows of the street, just outside the motel parking lot. Unable to properly see whom or how many within the vehicle, which made her feel even more uneasy. Allowing the curtain to fall back in place and cover the window as she stood up and created the bed to hold the pillows as she were sleeping in it then snuck out through the back window.

Not long after she left, the door was forcibly opened and two men approached the bed then pointed the guns towards the sheet covered moulded model. Whilst one waited, holding tight on his gun as his partner attempted to uncover what they believe to be Miriam laying underneath. Once had fastly pulled the sheet back, and shot the first tranquilizer dart into the pillow and realised that they were duped.

"What the hell? Where the hell is she?" Bradley johnson stated, confused. "Check in the bathroom." Pointing his finger orderly as he knelt down and looked underneath the bed incase she were hiding but realised that miriam wasnt. Quickly returned and said. "This is one smart girl. She duped us real good. The boss isnt going to be pleased."

Just outside, miriam had escaped down the sewers as she had planned but the problem was. Someone had witnessed her climb down in the manhole whilst she dragged the manhole cover over her head. The motel owner, scratched his head confused as he were enjoying a cold beer when the two men came storming out from the room where miriam was occuping and he immediately bolted out and demanded for money on the damages of the room.

"OI! Are you going to pay for the damages to the door!" he shouted. Both glared at the owner then to each other and back to him as one said. "Get lost asshole."

"I'm calling the cops!" he replied, taking note of the licence plates and called the authorities as they drove off. Suddenly, whilst he was on the phone waiting for response. One of the men had walked in and slammed his head on the counter, holding down tightly with the gun held against his temple. "Now, what can you tell me of this girl?" presenting the photograph of miriam.

"I dont know what you mean. How did you get in here so fast?" the owner answered, confused. "I am asking the questions here, and if you want to remain alive. Answer the questions and tell what i want to know. Is that understood?"

The owner nodded and cooperated as demanded. With a light tap on his shoulder they finally left but unaware that, a bullet had been shot through the window into his temple which made the owner collapse to the floor with the phone laying nearby his corpse and the operator had answered then soon realised that none replied.

Getting in the vehicle, resuming on thier mission as they prepared to capture miriam but with more extreme measures to trap her. "Why would she choose the sewers?"

"Who cares, the more fun to capture her and this time." Clicking the gun with bullets to use instead of tranq darts as would be more effective to wound her legs or possible ankles. "Our orders are to capture her, not kill her."

"Right now, I dont care. This little girl is beginning to piss me off, and I dont like playing cat and mouse game." Miriam exhaled with relief, but had realised that she wasnt out of the woods just yet. Grabing her backpack, walked down the corridor not aware that whoever chasing her had finally figured where she escaped to and followed after her shortly later.

Meanwhile not far from Miriam, Splinter and his eldest son; leonardo was out scavenging for supplies for thier nightly feed. Carrying the exhausting terrapin tot in his embrace as he dragged the bag behind him. Suddenly his ears twitched whence he heard splashes of water nearby, including two male voices close by. Finding a safe place for the supplies to be retrieved later but he placed his son down gently and knelt down, strictly instructed. "My son, I want you to go straight home and dont look back."

"Why daddy? I want to come with." he pleaded. "I want you to go home, dont look back my son. I will be right behind you." splinter smiled. "Go now, my son." Leonardo turned on his tiny heels and begun to run home, just as instructed even though he was exhausted. Splinter stood, smiled proudly of his brave son running home as requested then he looked over his shoulder, into the dark tunnel and he too turned on his heel and followed the water splashing.

Little leonardo ran his little exhausted legs as they could carry him until he finally reached the lair entrance. Hurried inside, closed the door behind himself as his brothers wondered whilst glancing leonardo. With mikey the youngest, sitting by the little table while he waited and begun to fuss. "I'm hungry." He begun to complain. "Me too." Donatello also stated before raphael realised that leonardo was huff and puff, covered in sweat. "Why you were running, Leo?" Raphael asked, raising a brow.

Young little leonardo, rose his gaze and continued to gather his breathe then finally answered. "Master splinter said to run home." Immediately raphael sprung to his feet and hurried to the door, only reaching the doorhandle when leonardo hurried to his side and grasped his hand. Slightly turned and glanced over his shoulder to leonardo then said. "What?! Why are you stopping me from leaving?"

"Master splinter said, to stay here raphie." Leonardo instructed. Raphael grew angry, hated that he had to do as told. Slowly released the handle as his fingers hung over slightly before lowering then hung beside his side as he sighed. Donatello and mikey stood behind, watching thier older brothers stand at the door as they held each others hands.

The elder brothers turned on thier heels and approached thier younger siblings then returned to the small confide space of thier temporary home and waited, quietly. Huddling together, for warmth as they all drifted to sleep.

Back in the tunnels, the old rat ran through each one until he found the disturbance of the water splashing. Standing in the far corner, concealed in the shadows as he watched two men had stood over a young woman. Trying to defend herself as she struggled and they laughed.

"We finally found you little mouse." One stated, standing on her left while his comrade stood on her right with a gun and cuffs. "Now, you are coming with us." Miriam glared slightly over shoulder as she laid in the sewer water.

Gritting her teeth as she desired to fight back with all she had. Feeling her wrist forcibly grasped and twisted harshly as her captures, forced her to her feet as she struggled to break free. Master splinter crept around in the darkness, taking one down and tearing his throat out whilst his partner released miriam's wrist and she fell into the water once again as she was stood over. "Show yourself! Come out and fight like a man!"

"Fight like a man? A man would never abuse or mistreat a young woman down in the sewers." Master splinter replied, using the darkness as his shadow and faithful ally of protection. Miriam remained silent as she knew someone had came to her resuce. "Stop hiding and come out!" he roared, demanding.

Seconds later, the man begun to gurgle on his bloood as he held his pierced throat. Standing still as he glanced down to the rescurer, his eyes widened in disbelief and before he collapsed to his knees. Despite choking his own blood as it seep from his body and drained the life he had and possessed. With a gurgling sound as he asked. "What are you?!"

Master splinter said nothing, just glared down in the eyes of the man and lowered his gaze closely then finally whispered his reply. "I'm the savior." Placing both clawed hands around his skull then snapping sharply, instantly killing the man and stepped back allowing him to fall in the water. Miriam was too weak, as she could barely see the outline of his physical form as he approached her and heard him state. "It is alright, you are safe now."

With a weak smile, she lost consciousness and collapsed. Master splinter gently slid his arms around her petite frame and slender thighs then carefully, picked her up. Standing a moment as he admired the young woman even in the darkness. With his perfect eye sight, his heart had begun to flutter. Without hesitation, he took the first step and leaving the two men behind as he cradled the woman he had rescued and disappeared in the darkness.
