April: "Oh yes please…but please just call me April." She then took one and left it on her hands. Melisa approached Casey who was feeling more regretful then the others. "Mr. Jones? Do you want some tea?" Casey ignored her completely then April and her looked at each other.

April: "Don't mind Casey, Melisa. He just feels bad right now." Melisa sadden too as she placed the tray on the coffee table then sat beside April, placing her hands over her tear-eyed, while April tries to comfort her. "It's alright…" Casey grunted as he stood up tall. His face marked with anger.

Casey: "Come on guys! There gonna be a way to help them!" He ranted. Herald Lisa who glared at the window placed his arm against the glass with his forehead leading on it.

Herald: "What do you except us to do Mr. Jones?" Casey growled as faced his fist at Herald.

Casey: "Break in the mutant prison and trash the place." Herald groan then he turn around and stared at Casey's steaming rage.

Herald: "With all those serenity guards, alarm systems not to mention obvious traps. What can we do!?" Sara seems frighten as she held her toy tight against her chest.

Sara: "Daddy why are you yelling?" Melisa looked at Sara then to Herald who passed Casey to approach his daughter, he kneed in front of her.

Herald: "I'm sorry Sara…I didn't mean too…" He was about to put his hand on her except she back away.

Sara: "I need to ask a question and I need to know…" Herald glared at her.

Herald: "What will that be?" He asked.

Sara: "Will we ever meet sister and the turtles again? Even through they are taken by bad men?" Herald nodded his head.

Herald: "Yeah. We will, I'll promise you that." Sara then drew closer to her dad.

Sara: "Promise?" He showed his thumb as Sara placed her thumb on his.

Herald: "I promise…" Then he heard a ruffled of a jacket been placed on, he looked behind to see Casey's putting on his leather jacket.

Back at the Lisa apartment, the creature wore an Arizona Topaz vest over white long sleeves along with Sky Magenta sweats. Melisa placed a blanket on the creature's back and gave her steaming green tea.

"Thank you…My name Seri." April sat beside her.

April: "What happened?" Seri shivered a bit as finally she spoken out the words.
