I don't own the Turtle's although I wished I did.
I want to thank everyone for their patience with me. This has been a very rough year for me and my family. For those that have read it on my other stories I have going a bit of a update. I have officially had both of my Carpal Tunnel surgeries done and doing great. I also have had my other surgery done and am now fully recovered from all three. On a sadder note though we lost one of the greatest men my family had known. Uncle Arnold passed on and he is now with our Beloved Father in Heaven. He was a very kind, loving man who was a strong caring example of God's love to all. I never seen or heard the man utter a unkind word about any soul on this earth. He was a ordained Deacon for 50 years and married to my aunt for 63 years. So I will stop rambling on and start this chapter now. This one Chapter though I dedicate to him. Love you Uncle Arnold, until I see you again take care.
No one's point of view.
April was hurrying down the rain soaked street in the most uncomfortable pair of heels. The night had been long and very demanding at the club she just left. After the disgusting night she just wanted to shower and go to bed. It was getting to be her father's death anniversary so she just wanted to crawl in bed and sleep. She felt as though she was being followed but didn't stop. She knew she was being watched over so she wasn't scared.
Raphael looked down at the street before leaping off the building he fought Leo on. He saw that she wasn't hesitating on going home. Leo said to be home within the hour so this was cake. He would wait till tomorrow and talk to her. He was going to watch her go on in to the apartment and leave. She entered the building and Raphael watched for the lights to come on. They never did. Ten minutes passed by and still no light. Enough Raphael though as he raced up the fire escape and threw the window open. What he saw in her bedroom made his heart stop dead in his chest.
April stood there in her bedroom shaking. Tied to the chair was Vernon and was bloodied. Their was a bomb that was attached to his chest and the count down timer had ten minutes left to go. April started to call the cops when Vernon spoke up. "April your in danger you need to get out."
"I am going to call the bomb squad Vernon. They will save you and then you can leave here."
"No.. Listen before I die I have to tell you something and just shut and listen." Vernon was struggling for breathes. If the bomb didn't kill him the punctured lung from the beat down would kill him. He had nothing left to loose. "April I am sorry. The Klan was blackmailing me to do what I did to you. They are hunting you and the Turtles down for killing Shredder and imprisoning Sacks. That woman with the red in her head wants you to suffer for what happened. She told me if I didn't do what she wanted she would go after my family. April your my best friend you have got to believe me."
"April go and get everyone out of the building I will stay with him. Donatello is on the way he can defuse this." Tears where flowing out of Aprils eyes as she looked at Raphael and acknowledged his presence.
"Go on and go. I will watch over him." Raphael urged her to get everyone out. Quickly she ran out into the hall and pulled the fire alarm. She knew there was a little old woman in the place two doors down and went to get her out. Running to Gertrude's room she stopped dead in tracks. Inside was a letter to April but no Gertrude. As she searched the rest of the building Raphael stayed with Vernon.
"What are you waiting for. I will be dead either way. Grab April and get out of here."
"What did they hold over you? Was it really worth hurting her?"
"Look man there is four minutes left. Donatello won't be here in time to stop it. Go to April and get her out of New York! The longer she stays the more in danger she'll be in. You won't be able to protect her here. They are watching her and will get to her."
"You were easily percsaided to do what you did to her Vernon."
"They killed my father right in front of me. They then threatened to kill my mother and niece too if I didn't do it. Please for the love of God get her out of here my time is almost up!"
DUH DUH DUH! Now for the ones that couldnt understand what I was doig with Vernon, I hope this explains why I wrote him like I did. Please keep this fan fiction in mind. I am not done yet. Sorry this chapter is short but hang on babes there will be more.
