Chapter 3: Caretaker
A/N: Yep, another chapter is here. I'm getting this pretty quickly if I do say so myself, and that's awesome. Thanks to those who have read and reviewed so far. You guys are so awesome. I hope you like this chapter too.

"He really looks bad, April. What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, Raph, but I'm gonna take him to the vet to find out."
"You can do that?"
"Yeah, I can. It won't take me that long, and maybe the vet can figure it out."
"Thanks, April. I don't know what I would do without you."
"It's my pleasure, Raph."

"So, what's the verdict?"
"He's got the flu, but he should be okay. The vet gave us this medicine that he has to take three times a day."
"Okay, I think I can do that. Thanks again, April. You're a lifesaver."
"No problem, Raph. I'm just glad he'll be okay."
"Yeah, me, too."

"Wow. He looks better already."
"Yep, he's doin' pretty good, aren't you, Spike? Chew on your leaf if you're doin' pretty good."
CHOMP!
"See? He's doin' great."
"That's awesome, Raph. How did you train him to do that?"
"What, chew on his leaf? I didn't train him to do that. He just does. It's like he understands what I'm sayin'. Pretty cool, huh?"
"Yeah, that is cool. Well, I'd better get home. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Okay, see you then, April."

"I can't believe she's gone, Spike. How could this happen to us? One minute she was with us, and the next, she's gone. You probably don't remember her much anyway, do you? She took care of you when you were sick. Chew on your leaf if you remember."
CHOMP!
"Oh, so you DO remember. Well, that's good. But I don't know if she'll come back, Spike. I think she's gone for good. But if she is, who took her and why would they do that to her? I don't think she ran away. She just wouldn't do that. No, someone took her and is either holdin' her hostage or they've killed her. I just can't take it anymore, Spike. This not knowin' what's gonna happen. And the others aren't much help. Don's obsessed with lookin' for her, Leo's blamin' himself for what happened, and Mikey's been cryin' since it happened. I guess we'll just have to roll with the punches, huh, Spike?"
CHOMP!
"Yeah, that's what I thought. At least you get where I'm comin' from."
A/N: A pretty short chapter, but that was all I could do with it. I'm not sure when Leo's chapter will be up as I haven't thought it out yet. When I do, I'll have it up as soon as I can. In the meantime feel free to leave a review and have a shelltastic day.
