After some… 'discussion', as Don called it…Him and Jazz headed to the junkyard for some parts.
"We're here!"
Jazz giggled, heading to a pile in order to search for the parts they needed.
Like most of her cousins, she didn't mind getting dirty, so she went as deep into the pile as she needed.
She froze when she heard something slide down the pile, and looked at the ground to see the engine part she'd been looking for.
'Well, looks like I'm lucky today!' She thought brightly, moving to pick it up.
She heard something else slide, and her eyes drifted to the top of the pile inconspicuously as she picked up the part.
"…Dad…"
"Yeah, sweetheart?"
"…I-I think w-we should g-go…"
Don looked up curiously, and froze.
"…Jazz…move…"
She nodded slightly, sure that the shadows hadn't noticed the two turtles were onto them, and moved towards her father.
Something flew through the air, and she moved her head to the side, effectively dodging the shuriken.
"Too late to get away inconspicuously." Don noted, pulling out his Bo staff.
"So what do we do?" Jazz asked, pulling out her own weapon.
"Call the others…we'll need to hold them off for a while, though…"
She nodded, pulling out her Shell Cell as the ninja jumped down.
As her father held them off, she called her Uncle Leo.
As she waited for him to pick up, she used her staff to block some attacks.
"Hello?"
"Uncle Leo, we've got a problem!"
She ducked under a katana blade, doing a sweeping kick.
"Where are you?!"
"At the junkyard! Some of those Foot ninja tried sneaking up on us!"
She heard voices in the background, and felt guilty at the worried notes she picked up.
"We'll be there as soon as we can!"
"Yeah…"
It snapped shut, and she put the modified cell in her belt before knocking a ninja away, back flipping out of range.
She heard something behind her, and turned only to be met with a large fist.
She flew through the air, her shell smacking into a pile of car parts, knocking it over.
She groaned in pain, feeling a throbbing pain in her shoulder.
'It must've been dislocated…'
She sat up with difficulty, and flinched when the same hand grabbed her by her injured shoulder.
"Well, well! What do we have here?"
She was lifted up, and bit her lip to hold in the cry of pain.
"Well, isn't this just what I needed?"
"Wh-What do y-you want?"
Jazz forced out in a pain-filled stutter.
"Some bait…"
A smirk that sent chills up her shell.
"And you'll do nicely…"
She struggled against his grip, trying to break free, ignoring the pain, and tried to reach her staff.
Something hard smacked into her temple, and blackness ate at her vision.
"D-Dad…" She muttered weakly.
Then all went dark…

Rose watched the front door vigilantly, feeling in her gut that something was wrong.
The adults had left after an urgent call from Jazz, but they didn't say what happened.
Rose jumped when a furry hand rested on her shoulder, and turned to her grandfather.
"Oh…hi, Grandpa Splinter…"
"I'm sure everything is fine…"
She nodded slightly.
'I'm not so sure…'
Ben and Theo were teaching Jackie how to play the Nintendo Wii behind them, Joss reading a book on Japanese swords her father owned as she kept an eye on her eleven year old sister.
Violet was listening to some old-fashioned Rock an' Roll on her MP3, watching her younger sister worriedly.
When the door opened, everyone perked, their focus on the ones entering.
"Uncle Donnie!"
Jackie was up in a moment, watching as her uncle was helped to the infirmary by Elisa and Leo.
"What happened?" Violet asked, looking at her parents.
"They were ambushed at the junkyard…Donnie was beaten up pretty bad…"
"Where's Jazz?!" Rose asked immediately, not seeing her quiet cousin.
"…Rose…"
Red/purple eyes widened at the hesitation from her mother, and she turned to her father.
"Dad, what happened to her?!"
"…Honey, they took her…"
Joss, overhearing, froze.
"They didn't…" She whispered in denial.
'But why? What has she done?'
A shiver raced across her skin.
'…Maybe it's to draw ME there…'
