Chapter 3: How to tell your Friend the Truth

It was evening when I left the sewers, which I just realize where I was when the turtles show the way out. Before I went up Don gave me some painkillers for my head. Walking down the street alone is helpful to think things through. I really thought I was alone until I sense 4 strangers following me. Great, they can't let me be by myself for at least 5 minutes. Then again, who could blame the fact of what happen…? And let's not forget what Splinter told me…

Flashback:

I was sitting on their couch hearing Splinter's story of how he takes care of the turtles as if they were his own. While he was talking my mind kept wandering back to Splinter saying, "You'll make a fine ninja." I don't even want to be a ninja; I'm fine just the way I am. Am I? When he was finish I wanted to ask him why he wants me to be a ninja. Until he notices something was wrong with me.

Master Splinter: I see you are confused. Please tell me what is on your mind.

Me: I'm still confused about me being a ninja…I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just want to know why.

Master Splinter: To prepare you for when the Shredder comes back. For I fear that he needs you for his own selfish purposes.

Leo: I say it's a good idea that you train with us Train.

Mikey: * chuckle *

Leo: What? What did I say?

Mikey: You said "Train" twice.

SLAP!

Mikey: Ow!

Raph: You Moron!

Leo: As I was saying we think you need to stay here with us.

Me: What?

Leo: Only temporary. Long enough to know what Shredder is up to.

Me: You're saying that in order to protect me I need to stay here?

Raph: Just like Leo said only temporary.

I get up from the couch and headed for the exit. Raph was there in front of me, not letting me get through.

Raph: And where do you think you're going?

Me: Let's see…I'm going back to my apartment.

Leo: Don't you think before you do something that drastic? You remind me of Raph just now.

Raph: I'll take that as a compliment.

Me: Let me answer that with another question, do you ever think that I wasn't alone when I came here?

Don: You're not alone?

Me: I'm a Sweeper, also known as a bounty hunter. We usually work by ourselves but there are those who have partners. I have a partner back at the apartment. He doesn't know I'm here nor did he know that I was about to be kidnap. I can't just go back, grab my stuff and bail. That seems wrong, especially if he's a friend more than a partner is.

Raph: Then tell him to go back home!

Me: I can't tell him that!

Raph: You don't have a choice, Heartnet.

Me: Come on, Raph. I can beat those guys in my sleep. Tell me at least 1 reason why I'm not ready.

Mikey: Hun must have grabbed you from behind while you weren't looking.

Leo: Chloroform did hit you from a ninja that got behind you.

Don: And you still need to recover after the side affect.

Me: I said 1 not 3 reasons!

Raph: What we're saying is that you're too weak to fight against Shred Head.

Me: * sigh * Look I appreciate all of you helping me but I have to go back. For your sake, Raph you need to get out of my way.

Raph: Sorry, but I ain't budging.

Me: Then you leave me with no choice.

In a flash, I took Raph's wrist and put it behind his back. I took out my handcuffs and cuffed his wrist as well as the other one. Then I kick his back, which sends him facedown on the floor.

Raph: * looks up at me and growl * Why you lil-

Me: Who needs to recover now?

After that my head started spinning under control. Damn this hurt!

Mikey: I think you need it, dude.

Me: What can I do? I need to do something if those ninjas try to kill him!

Master Splinter: I believe at a situation this drastic requires drastic measures. It's better to bring him here as well.

Leo, Raph, Don, and Mikey: What?

Master Splinter: Like Train's condition, his partner is in danger as well.

Me: But how can I tell him the truth? If I tell him, Sven will think I'm crazy.

Mikey: Your partner's name is Sven?

Me: Please, there has to be a better way.

Master Splinter: I'm sorry, my son. But this is the only way to protect your friend from harm.

Me: * sigh and lowered my head in defeat * Yes, Master Splinter.

End of Flashback:

And that's how I ended up back on the surface trying to think of a way to tell Sven the truth. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find the right words to say. This is harder than it seems before I got up here. What am I going to say? "Hey Sven, sorry I'm late. You wouldn't believe what kind of night I have. It involves ninjas, their leader who called himself the Shredder, 4 turtles save me and their master who happens to be a mutant rat wants me to stay with them and train to be a ninja. Oh, did I mention that you have to come with me because your life might be in danger as well if you are seen or with me. Crazy, right?" Of course it's crazy. What am I saying? It's more than crazy this is bizarre. Anyone who hears this story ends up in the asylum for the rest of his or her lives!

I finally made it to my apartment when a ninja came out of a window where my room was. My heart started pounding fast when I think about the ninjas killing Sven. I ran as fast as I could to my room. When I got there I open the door and the same ninja army that was with Shredder was beating up Sven!

Me: Get the hell out of my room NOW!

As if on cue the turtles comes breaking through the windows and beat up all of the ninjas. I went over to Sven to see if he's breathing. I put my finger on his neck for a pulse, thank goodness there were at least 5 to 7 beats a minute. After the fighting, the turtles came over to Sven to look at him.

Mikey: Dude, this is your partner? Isn't he a little too old to be a bounty hunter.

Me: You don't Sven like I have, Mikey.

Raph: Anyway, we need to carry him back to the lair before the Foot decides to come back for a rematch.

Me: The Foot? That's what they call themselves?

Leo: You don't pay attention much, do you?

Me: It usually happens.

Leo: OK… Grab your things and let's go.

I did as Leo said and grabs my things, Sven's things and his attaché case. Don, Mikey and Leo help me carry the things to their weird looking vehicle while I carry the attaché. Raph was carrying Sven over his shoulder and went in the back. Don drives the van, Raph sit in the passenger's seat next to him and I was in the back with Leo and Mikey. I kept looking at Sven with concern and worry expression on my face.

Leo: He must mean a lot to you when you look at him like that.

Me: You're right, Leo. Master Splinter is like a father to you guys, right?

Mikey: Right.

Me: Well, I feel the same way about Sven. He's like a father that I never have in my life. I wish I had a dad like that.

Leo: You're saying he's more than a father is than a friend is?

Me: Sort of.

I kept staring at Sven hoping he would wake up any time soon. When I find Shredder I'm going to make him pay for attacking my friend. That's not a vow that's a promise.
