"Don you ready? " could be heard as Raph entered the lab to get Donnie for patrol. However, this was no normal patrol. This was the night that the brothers would cover the whole city looking for Karai, and hopefully bring her back home to her father.

"Oh yeah, here let me put this in the bag" Donnie said as he got the antidote ready for Karai, and then slipped the syringe in his shoulder bag that he always used for explosives.

Raph gave Donnie a concerned look noticing that he looked unfocused, and not himself. "Hey brainiac you all right, you act odd? Not that you don't act like that all the time but..."

Donnie playfully elbowed his immediate older brother in the arm catching on to Raph's sarcasm quickly. "Save it Raph."

Raphael chuckled at that before asking again only to be cut off by Mikey screaming. " COME ON JONES GIVE IT BACK!"

"Come on Raph I think he's dying" Donnie let out a happy smile, grabbed his bag, and together they ran out of the lab to catch up with the others

"Jones give it back NOW...!" Mikey had that hatred sound to his voice, a tone he normally only had with Raph.

"Come on, make me Mikey" Casey said as he had the turtles prized comic book in his hand holding it over Mikey's head.

"Casey stop being such a jerk!" April snapped at him.

"Aww come on Red I ant hurting him, stop raining on my parade."

"I'd listen to her if I were you." Casey turned around long enough to see Raph and Donnie come out of the lab and he let out a long sigh, 'great just what I need another lecture from Donnie' he thought to himself.

"So... what did he do this time" Don asked walking over to see a sad looking Mikey and an irritated April.

"I didn't do anything this time Donnie...promise!"

"Are you sure..." Donnie asked bending over slightly so he could look Mikey in the eyes. Donnie could always tell if his immediate little brother was lying to him just by looking into his eyes.

"YES..." Mikey gave Donnie his sweet innocent puppy dog look. The one that always made his big brothers heart melt.

Just like that Donnie felt his heart give way to his little brothers innocence. "Okay" he said and patted Mikey on the head gently.

"Alright Casey let's just...NOW" as Donnie said it Mikey smashed Casey's foot and jumped up to retrieve his comic book.

Once Mikey got it he darted behind Donnie and held onto his brother for dear life.

"Oww" Casey hollered. " alright Donnie move let me at him."

"No" Donnie stated blankly. "Now tell me Casey what did Mikey do? "

Casey automatically put his head down in defeat, and everyone starred in awe as Donnie made Casey Jones, of all people comply without even laying a single hand on him. "Fine, Mikey I'm sorry" Casey said in that very unconvincing, sarcastic tone of his.

Casey stared at Donnie who gave him a disappointed glare, but when he looked down at Mikey he started to feel really bad.

"Okay I'm sorry Mikey I was just messing around with Ya."

" It's okay Casey, Raph dose it all the time" Mikey said jokingly.

Donnie immediately noticed Casey's sincerity that time, and smiled at him "good."

"Uhhh... alright gotta go" Mikey said as he tried to leave, but was caught by Donnie.

"Hold on Speedy, NO water balloons."

"Aww...but Donnie he."

"No" Donnie said again trying to get his point across this time in a more rough tone. "He said he was sorry and that's good enough, now let's get going we have to find Karai tonight.

"Okay Donnie, thank you" Mikey said as he gave his immediate older brother a suffocating bear hug that lifted him off the ground.

"Okay Mikey your welcome, put me down buddy" was all he could get out between gasps for breath.

As soon as Michelangelo put Donnie down he immediately felt the air pour back into his lungs.

Then Raph spoke up. "Alright you two come on we gotta go."

Mikey and Donnie smiled at each other before grabbing their weapons and running for the exit with their brothers. Only to be stopped as they hear their Sensei's voice holler for them. "Stop my sons I wish to see you off."

All four of his sons stopped and bowed to their Sensei in a perfect line. "Yes Sensei, is something wrong? You look as if something's bothering you? "

"No Leonardo I am fine. However I do sense that something is bothering your brother. Donatello would you like to explain why I sensed your spirit was troubled my son? I do not wish for you to go out unless you can assure me that nothing is wrong. "

"Yeah I noticed it too Donnie" Raph said. " Is something wrong? "

"Yeah I did too" April said as she walked over to Donnie and wrapped him up in a hug. "Are you okay?"

Donnie happily accepted April's affection, and put his arms around her as she quietly snuggled up to her best friends chest.

Everyone was starting to stare at Donnie as April started to pull away, and he acted like he didn't want to let her go just yet.

"Donnie" she said with a giggle.

"Oh Yeah sorry" he said nervously. Blushing madly as he let her go.

"Yeah guys I'm fine. I just have this weird... feeling about tonight that won't go away. Its like I know were going to find her, but... it feels like something else is going to happen too. I don't know."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Donnie as he spoke. Their looks were full of worry and concern. "But don't worry guys I've had feelings like this before, and nothings ever happened. I'm sure it's nothing. "

"Alright my son, if you are sure."

"Yes. I am Father." He bowed and began to smile. "Don't worry Sensei I won't come home until I find her, and bring her back to you... And I will come back. I swear on my honor."

With that Splinter placed a loving hand on his sons head, and began rubbing little circles on it. "Oh my son why must you always bare all of are family's problems on your shoulders. It is a noble quality in you, but not when you let it put so much stress and pain on your spirit."

"I can't help it Sensei" Donnie had a huge smile on his face. "That's just how I role!" With that Donnie and his brothers ran to the lair's exit for patrol, but right when Splinter thought that his sons were gone. Donatello turned around one last time, and flashed his famous gap toothed grin, and gave his father and friends a little wave of his hand before he disappeared into the night with his brothers.

As his father watched him leave he felt great pain in his heart, because he just couldn't shack the feeling that this may be Donatello's last patrol.
