Chapter 22: Jealousy (IV)
Leo entered the pit and realized that only Raph and Mikey were still sleeping. "Anyone seen Donnie?"
"Not since yesterday. Wait! Do dreams count? Cause last night, I dreamt Donnie and me were rodeo detectives and there…" A groggy Michelangelo responded.
"Can it Mikey. I'm serious." Leo mental face palmed himself. Mikey was indeed a strange one.
"Okay, but you'll never find out who stole the buckaroo diamond!"
"You through?" Raphael replied impatiently.
"Yeah. It was the clown!"
"Donnie?!" Leo cried entering the empty lab. This was entirely too strange. Where could Donnie be? He even left his laptop which still had the secret message that April received earlier there opened. "Guys… I think I know where Donnie went." After a small fight with the technology, the secret message played itself to the other turtles.
"Dad?" an angelic voice sounded. April.
"Don't worry. We're going to get him. Let's move." His brothers quickly ran from the lab and out to the surface. Leonardo gently placed a kiss on the worried girl's forehead. "This time we will bring him back."
Donnie's anger spread through his body. Maybe I am over reacting but what do they need to tell me? He could not believe it. Leo and April. His brother and his girl. She kissed him. Maybe she didn't. Maybe he was seeing things. No he will not let it happen. Quickly he pulled out his t-phone, the bleeping dot showed that he was in the right place. This is not over, Donnie still had a mission to complete. He is going to get April's attention. He was going to have April. He loved her after all.
"Why would Donnie try to rescue April's dad by himself?" Leonardo could not fit the pieces together. This is not like Donnie. Especially of with such important news of April's dad.
"Uh, maybe because I told him he has no shot with April?" Raph could not hide the guilt that is written in his face.
"WHAT! Why would you say that?" Leonardo felt the anger serge.
"Because he has not shot with April."
"Well, yeah but you don't tell him that." Leonardo felt a twinge of jealousy. Donnie did this for April? Even though it was true that he has no shot with her. Right now. What if her feelings changed if Donnie saved Mr. O'Neil? Would he let it happen? Leonardo ran faster, guess I am going to find out.
After intruding a Kraang headquarters and narrowly escaping the Neutralizer, Kirby O'Neil was finally safe. The 5 of them returned to the lair where the orange-haired girl was staring at a strange orb. "April?" An oh so familiar voice rang through her ears. She looked up and her heart filled with joy.
"Dad? Dad! Oh dad, I can't believe it! You guys saved my dad! Thank you so much." April's eyes landed on him. Leo smiled widely. He was about to reply and ready to engulf her into an embrace when Raphael spoke up.
"The guy you really should be thanking is Donnie." After a brief over-dramatic re-enactment by the red-masked turtle and Donatello's attempt at being modest, Leo's blue orbs watched April hug his brother. He looked from the girl to his brother who had the biggest smirk on his face directed towards Leonardo. His smile disappeared as jealousy reappeared in his system. A single questioned swarmed his mind, what is with that smile? Could he know? Leo watched the reunited family walk to the dojo. He supposed right now all that mattered is that April is happy again.
