Chapter 3: Raphael-Discovery
Add ten years
He'd just gotten off of work at the fire station three blocks down, he was walking home when he heard it.
The low pain filled moan followed by weak whimpers.
He stopped and glanced toward the alley at his right.
""ello?" he called softly, ""ey, any one there?"
The answer was a weak moan of agony.
He moved forward, grabbing his cell as he stepped into the dark alley.
Shadows fell over his broad shoulders, the fireman's jacket covering them, flickering red in the darkness.
He squinted as he spotted a sprawled figure in the trash.
"'ey..you a'ight?" he called softly, still moving forward cautiously.
He squinted and gasped as she saw the curve of a carapace.
"Mike? Don?" he whispered nervously.
His amber eyes flickered over the limp form before nervously searching the darkness around him.
It wouldn't be the first time mutants had been tricked into trying to save a loved one only to be shot and then their bodies were dumped in their homes.
He took a nervous step forward.
Not to say that he couldn't take care of the problem if it arose, seriously he was a master ninja after all. But, more than one mutant had been charged as guilty of murder or attempted murder in defensive fights.
He'd like to avoid that possibility.
Another weak moan sounded next to him.
Raphael frowned nervously as he knelt and gently touched the battered body.
The turtle was wearing what was left of black dress slacks, a white dress shirt, and a tie. They were in tatters, torn apart, and shredded.
The stench of blood as well as its visible counterpart was everywhere.
Raphael, turned the limp figure's head gently and gasped in recognition.
"LEO!" he cried, gently turning the limp figure onto his back to ease the struggled breathing.
He flicked open his phone and dialed 911, frantically searching for the source of the blood to apply pressure.
The sirens came screaming down the street seconds after Leo started coughing roughly, blood trickling down his cheek.
"No! Leo you hang on ya' hear?" Raphael pled softly, "hold on."
