Agent bishop smiled, pleasingly that he has convinced the mayor to agree. His plan was going as he hoped. His other frustrations of where he'd find Miriam grew more irritably thin. The resources were dwindling low as his own troops were indangered to the virus.
"I will send the procedure through fax within the next four hours." Bishop menacingly lied. Mayor charman answered. " Thankyou, I await the paperwork."
Lowered the phone away, disconnected the call and smirked evilly. "Agent bishop, the numbers have spread extremely and." stockman paused and lowered his gaze as he missed to express breathe exhales and sighs.
"Stockman?! And what?!" bishop irritably snarled, waiting for a reply.
"The virus could overwhelm the continent within a week." Raised his brow, curious and yet concerned. "Are you certain, doctor? Is that a fact, it will reach within a week?"
"Possibly, even less than that." Bishop stepped closer and glanced deep. "How much time?"
"Three or four days, five tops." stockman finally confirmed. "Find the girl. No one sleeps. And instruct everyone to wear face Shields to protect themselves and stop spread of infection." Bishop orderedly instructed.
"Suit up, face on. Any infected will be shot on sight and return."
The doors opened, four squadron of soldiers left the base and searched in each perimeter assigned to each squadron. The streets of New York, were dark and smoky consumed by riots of destruction. Some businesses were alight of burning fire and others were boarded up. While some supermarkets tried to supply with the demands of enraged, panick buyers. Chaos consumed everything.
Meanwhile inthe lair, Miriam was happy and safe with her new found family. Happily smiled, watched her beautiful terrapin children ate thier meal and giggled as they awoken hungry. Splinter reached over, grasped her hand and rose to his lips and kissed tenderly. Miriam smiled, returned the grasp over his. Entwining their fingers together.
"Mummy." Mikey called happily. Miriam smiled and answered. "Yes, Mikey."
Holding up his little cup. "Can I have more milk please, mummy."
"Of course you can, sweetie." Miriam grabbed the carton and poured the milk in the glass. Mikey happily drank the milk and smiled bigly with his milky grin moustache. Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael requested for another cup of milk. Miriam was happy to provide which was enough to give between the waiting terrapin children. All three drank thier milk happily and grinned with milky moustaches.
Miriam covered her lips as she chuckled and said. "This makes a adorable photograph. Should make a family album." Miriam suggested.
Splinter sighed. "I am afraid, we don't have a camera."
"Always can go out and get one?" Miriam insisted. "As long, my woman is safe and comes home to us."
Miriam smiled and promised. "I promise I will be. Would you like to come with me?"
Splinters heart raced with fear and worry whilst the children coherse with excitement. "Can we please, we want to see the topside."
"I think there is a way, we can show them of the surface." Miriam glanced splinter, holding his hand loving. Splinter sighed and finally agreed.
"Alright, what do you have in mind, my love."
Miriam smiled, taking out a stick with a mirror. "I call it a mirror stick. Can still watch from the opening near the television store until I can bring one down for the children to watch cartoon."
Splinter smiled, Miriam waited and continued. "So what do you think, dearest?"
"Sounds like a plan, dearest." splinter agreed. "When do we get one?"
The terrapin children asked, excitedly. "How about we go find one, now if you like?" She replied. They happily nodded.
Splinter instructed the children as they prepared to go topside or near topside. "Leave your cups and plates on the table. When we go up must stay together and out of night."
Nodding their little heads, obediently. Little later, the little family travelled to the nearest opening for a store but suddenly splinter grabbed Miriam's wrist, stopping her.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Something is wrong, topside." Instructed no words further, and climbed up the ladder. Looking out through the mirror stick and what he witnessed had him fearful.
"What is wrong, love?" Miriam asked. Splinter climbed down and picked up Mikey with Donnie. "We must return to the lair. It is not safe right now."
Miriam grabbed both Raphael's and Leonardo's little hands, followed splinter. "Mummy, why can't we go up?" Mikey asked, confused.
"Because my son, it is not safe. Something bad happened." Splinter answered.
"No TV?" Mikey frowned. Miriam's heart broke as she felt her promise become a failure and saddening.
"I'm sorry, Mikey. Maybe later when all. is better, promise." she soothed, assuring. Mikey nodded and cuddled into splinter's neck.
