Splinter's POV
I was in my room praying thinking writing once in a while. How can they call me wise, strong? How can they look up to me? How ... How can they call me their father? For the second time of my life I don't know what to do.
-'See Yushi? Do you see that your huge flood is breaking this love dam? How you're drowning them with your huge flood of pride and unforgettable mistakes? How did you break the strong heart of the stone how you stole innocent and the calmness of the river and take the warmth and laughter of then sun and draw a sad face for the moon you destroyed everything '
It's been days that I'm mumbling these to myself if something bad had happened, if he got hurt I never forgive myself? Seriously what have I been thinking that day? Just for once I want to hear the stone footsteps in the water once to feel the warmth and see the moon shining.
I can hear their footsteps they're back I hope there's good news.
Leo's POV
How should I tell him about what we found about Raph's SAI? I heard his footstep that was coming out of his room. He came out he shakes a little his illness getting worse those strict and hard eyes become soft Don said in some few possibility he can get a cancer or at a better place get a Parkinson's disease seriously?! What did we do WRONG?! We've saved this city and those coward humans for too many times and now we get this for appreciating?! We...
-" welcome back my sons did you find anything? Leonardo?"
He looked at me with eyes that are screaming. Why should it be me why I have to be the one to answer the questions always?! I bowed -" Hello... Um how are you? ... We had found something ...and there are...see try to be calm…we" oh it's just one word C'MON
-" we found Raph's phone weapons and a piece of Leo's bandana in an alley "Donnie finished it before I could say anything
-" I see I'm sure he's alright he's a perfect ninja...I….I'm in my room if you need me please come in."
Then he vanished as soon as he could, once he played his role so perfect but now you can see his broken heart and his teary eyes and the pain that is destroying us is yelling inside of him. And in these days of my life I really don't know who is the real guilty one.
Leo's POV
It's the fifth day, Mikey is sitting on the couch pretending to watching TV, I really wish I could talk to….I went to the kitchen and saw Don mumbling with himself
-"You think he never gonna come back" he said I think I didn't get it right.
-"oh you're talking to me? What did you say?
-"You think he never gonna come back…you think we lost him?" Don repeated with disappointed voice.
-"we won't let that happen we'll find him" I said
-"I don't know but to be honest we can't do anything Leo me and Mikey did our best to stop him leaving sooner only one who can bring him back not only physically but mentally is you I just can find the place"
-"but I don't know how! Why? He hates me that much he's really …"
Suddenly I noticed Mikey was coming this way furiously
-"Oh shut up Leo you just…how long? Tell me how long you want to continue these bullshits! Put your shoes in ours and stop this stupid play sometimes I really doubt you care about anything do YOU EVER STOPED FOR a moment to think"
-"oh did you notice the TV news there isn't anything about Nightwatcher lastly" Don said trying to change the subject with a terrible idea.
-"maybe he understood how stupid his work was" I said pretend to forget about Mikey
-"now the only selfish and stupid one in the city is you Leo" Mikey said angrily
-"why are you against me this much?!" I shouted really what's wrong with him?
-"cause you weren't here you didn't see, didn't feel what we got through when you were on your vacation! You….I think I should get some air" he said then he left.
-"what did he mean I didn't see? What didn't I see?"
I looked at Don but he just shook his head
-"C'MON tell me how long do you want to do this? here is like a bank for secrets we're a family tell me" I said when I was thinking that I hide many secrets from them too.
"Well you see many things happened in these two years many things changed" these second of his hesitation looks like an hour finally he continued
-"There was a day in first months of your leaving when Mikey…"
No one told me Mikey got into an accident I wasn't here I….it seems there's so much more things then he continued
-"After that we fought with each other and argued a lot and some were really bad like the one you had before he left he leaves the house and came back late when he had been drunk and in some of the worse conditions I saw his weapons dirty with blood of course he went to put out his anger in someone I just hoped it wasn't the wrong person and with drinking….."
He finished and I just looked at him I knew… well everyone knew that he drinks but this …. Is really … it's too much I'm sure that bastard simulated Raph to fight beside him I will really kill him if he won't help me but….
-"What…What should I do Don to bring him back….you know everything….you always do" I think I should go out before I break here
-"Leo we didn't find him even if we do I mean me and Mikey if even we found him it's no use just you….for once put that pride out of your mind find him say something he wanted to hear."
-"I understand but just…. If I had"
-"LISTEN TO ME IT'S NO USE EVEN WITH HUNDREDS OF IF! JUST DO IT" he said strictly
"I think I have something to do"
TIME SKIP
Don's POV
It's been near 5 hours since Mikey left and 4 hours since Leo's leaving and neither of them is back I'm sitting on the couch and staring at watch.
five days has passed since we found the weapons for the first time of whole my life I have no clue I can't think anymore cause I don't want to think about that what if he had gotten into a bad fight what if he got very drunk or he is injured so bad that he can't come back what if Mikey's words come true and he never come back?! Many years ago that Leo got into that fight with shredder and injured terribly that he couldn't move we knew that he was with us we could protect him heal him but now ?! I always thought that Raph is the biggest pessimism ever but when even Mikey won't tell jokes or laugh alone you except me to be optimism? Now that I think how harsh Raph described our world , our home and most important family I think he was right there's no GOD , HEAVEN or HELL they are our worlds the real hell is this place a real forgotten place deep into its misery a place for corpse bodies that are breath but don't actually live you think I'm going too far so let me explain : when you hear Mikey cry himself to sleep , when your father that symbol for the strength and wisdom tear apart and Leo is never home most of time out in who knows where and the time that he's at home he train at dojo and do some punches that echoes in the lair . Yeah this the real hell.
(There's a sound of footsteps and the lair doors open and Mikey entered with a bruised face and one of his shoulder is bleeding)
What the heck?! Where was he?
-"oh my god Mikey where were you are you okay? What happened to your"
-"oh hi it's nothing I fell from skateboard where's Leo?"
-"He isn't back yet…but you injury is deeper to be just cause of a falling you….."
-" I said it's nothing the blood will stop soon don't ask again"
-"no buts Don call me if you need help I'm in my room" he said as he was hardly control himself.
Something had happened when he was out….
