The smell of his breath mingling with her own from that morning, coming back to her as a black bag clung to her skin over her head. She was being pushed down a hall, feet echoing along with her steps coming from behind her. She couldn't feel anything. She couldn't see anything but the bright lights piercing through the dark fabric for a moment then disappearing. Whoever this was, they're doing a better job at keeping their location a secret. Her head still spun with useless feelings and memories of her father, her fighting, Karai, the Shredder, her sister's, Leo… She clenched her eyes shut, feeling a tear roll down her flushed cheeks.

Finally, the footsteps stopped. Jade picked her head up as she felt the soft presences of her sister's around her. She furrowed her brow reaching out for Leonardo, for any of the brothers and felt nothing. Her stomach twisted in worry as the black bags were finally ripped from the girl's heads. Their hair falling around their faces as bright lights clicked on, making them all groan and close their eyes.

"Welcome my dears." A deep voice came from behind them as Jade tired to move. She felt her legs and feet held into place at her sides as she looked around the room. She saw her sister's around her, seeing not much else from beyond the light. She squinted trying to see more as her eyes slowly adjusted to the light, but failed. She felt helpless without her powers that 'ninja' training Leonardo insisted on giving her wasn't exactly as helpful as she would have liked.

"Who are you?" She asked in a dark tone as the man laughed.

"I, my dear, am Agent Bishop." He said making himself visible in front of her as he adjusted his glasses. "And you are Jade Torino, correct?"

"What's it ta you?" Jacqueline spoke up as Bishop smiled at her.

"Well, I have a little business concerning you girls."

"Business with Hun." Lexine spat out as he turned towards the blonde.

"No, actually Lexine I have more pressing matters to settle than with the Purple Dragons. You see, you girls are very important to this government. Your father, being what he was and dying in battle makes you the last specimens of your kind."

"How do you know our father?" Jade growled as he turned back towards her looking out from his glasses.

"Gregory and I go way back." He smirked before turning away from her as she struggled to get free. "You see, years ago I was a secret Agent much like your father. We worked together, along with Frank and found ourselves on missions together. I then started to notice something peculiar about your father, different. I now am the head of the Earth Protection Force…"

"What the fuck is that?" Jac scoffed as Bishop arched a brow towards her.

"I study the un-known events not documented by the public eye." He said as Lexine furrowed her brow before a smile coming to her face.

"Aliens?"

"Ppssshhh…You kiddin' me?" Jac said blowing out laughter.

"What does this have to do with us?" Jade said shaking her head to ignore her sister's useless comments.

"Well Jade, you and your sisters are here for one reason really. I know what you are capable of which is why you were cut from using your powers. You and your sister Fiona are very strong minds, while Lexine and Jacqueline have the strong bodies. I need you to help me with a bit of information I have been trying to collect for some months now."

"And what information is that?" Jade asked as a slow smile appeared on Bishop's face.

"Simple."

"Father, are you so sure to trust this man you have nearly met?" Karai asked as the Shredder barreled through the hall, pushing Foot out of the way.

"My trust in him is none of your concern Karai. You were given your assignment." He said in his deep tone as Karai looked over at him for a moment, before dropping her head softly.

"But, Father. Now that you are back are you certain that I am needed?"

"You are very much needed Karai." Shredder said in a slightly lighter tone. Karai furrowed her brow for a moment.

They both entered a lab as Dr. Stockman and Dr. Chaplin worked their way around it with Foot Technicians clicking over computer flies.

"Stockman." Shredder growled as Stockman rolled himself over to him in his mobile chair he was not permanently placed in. "Have we received word?"

"Hun said they were intercepted and taken with Bishop."

"Is he with them?" Shredder asked crossing his metal arms. Stockman looked towards Chaplin for a moment as the red head averted his eyes.

"Not that I know of Master…However I did manage to uncover a little dirt about this Agent of yours." Stockman smiled as The Shredder's eyes narrowed.

"And?"

"It seems that he worked with a Gregory Torino a time ago. The same man who tried to break into your Foot Headquarters before." Stockman said with a gloating smile as Shredder growled and sung his arm to knock over a collection of beakers.

"You tell me this now?!"

"I-I had just found out not moments ago Master."

"This is unacceptable…"

"But, we did find out that this Agent Bishop had nothing to do with that one isolated incident." Chaplin chimed in as he helped pick up broken glass. The Shredder made an approve noise as Stockman looked over at the young man placed the hold of beakers back in its place. "It seems that Gregory, the girl's father was here by own will nothing doing with the government. Something with an undercover job, with another agency that I can't seem to figure out?" Chaplin said bringing up the files.

"It seems that your work wasn't well researched Stockman." The Shredder said as Stockman glared at the red headed man who smiled at his accomplishment.

"I-I assure you it will not happen again Master." Stockman said as Hun came up from behind him cracking his knuckles.

"I will see to it that it doesn't." The Shredder said turning out of the lab as Karai followed, cringing slightly to the scream Stockman gave off.

"Master, I do not trust this Bishop. He seems to be sinking into everything and his work with the government and…"

"Enough Karai. This will be the chance to finally end those insipid turtle's lives! You have your honor to hold with me and will follow your orders."

"Yes Master." She said in a quiet tone as he turned into his office slamming the doors shut. She growled to herself before turning down the hall.

Going to her quarters she looked towards her large bay windows showing off the city lights. Something wasn't right, she was given a mission and something, everything in her was telling her not to do it. Her inner conflict was sickening. She had an honor to withhold to her father. Clenched eyes, her hands balling into fists at her sides she reopened them on the skyline before her with a small sigh.

She would take care of what she needed. Going back to Japan seemed like a more suitable plan by the second. She wasn't a coward. She wouldn't flee and leave her father with this mess on his hands. Something she promised herself never to leave him in a time of need again. He actually needed her. She should feel honored that he thought of her for this mission and not another Foot Ninja. She would stand and follow her orders.

Grabbing her katana she left her room with a small sigh, heading for the roof tops.

"So you want us to help you?" Jacqueline asked confused as Bishop smiled.

"You are only helping yourselves." He shrugged.

"If we do this, you let us go." Jade said slowly as Bishop looked towards her for a moment, her hazel eyes slowly reaching up to his.

"We'll see…"

"NO!" Jade said crossing her arms that were now released by the men behind her. "We help you, and do this mission and we go back to our lives! We go home and get our lives back!" Jade said taking a step closer to Bishop as he kept his hands behind his back. He gave a slight nod of the head.

"Alright Jade, if you wish." He said simply as she eyed him carefully. She put out her hand her head snapped towards the large double doors being pushed open as Leonardo fell to his knees.

"Don't listen to anything he says!" Leonardo growled. His brothers coming behind him, all of them locked in chains around their wrists and ankles.

"Leonardo, nice of you to join us." He smirked as Leo shook his arms to get free.

"He's a manipulator Jade! He means nothing of what he's telling you! Don't believe a word!"

"You want the Shredder gone don't you?" Bishop asked looking back towards the girls as Jade felt uncertainty churn in her stomach. She looked towards Bishop, his smug smile and dark eyes leaving her feeling just as uncertain as before. She looked down at Leonardo, those eyes always so trusting and loyal now covered in anger and rage as he shook his arms once more.

"If we do this, they have to help us." Jade said in slow, commanding words as Bishop smiled and nodded his head.

"Of course my dear." He said nodding his head towards the men to unhook the turtle's chains. Leonardo clenched his teeth in a growl as he rubbed his wrists, feeling a gush of wind from beside him as Raphael ran past him and pinned Bishop against the wall.

"Wha you do to 'em?" He growled as his forearm pressed against Bishop's neck. His eyes behind dark lens narrowed as he shoved Raphael off him. Raph slid back, catching himself as he reached for his sais on his belt. Grabbing nothing, he looked down and growled once more remembering they were taken from him. Rushing towards Bishop again, leading with his shoulder he was caught by the arms of Bishop's guards.

"Tell your pet to calm down Jacqueline." Bishop hissed adjusting his tie as Raphael growled, tossing his arms around as the men tired to hold tighter.

"Why should I? He's got the right idea!" She said tossing her arms now as the men just twisted slightly. She bit back the pain and tired harder. Jade sighed shaking her head as she watched the both of them struggle.

"You aren't doing any good to yourself." She said softly as Jac narrowed her eyes turning towards her sister.

"Fuck you! You got no say in what I do!" She hissed as Jade shook her head again letting it fall.

"If you don't want to calm on your own I have ways to help." Bishop said taking a syringe from a man in a lab coat and flicking the needle. Jac tensed as she darted her eyes to Raphael who didn't back down. Bishop moved closer to the red banded turtle as Jac pressed her lips together, the scream coming up to her throat softly as she let out a slow breath.

"No!" She finally let out as Bishop stopped the needle inches from Raphael's skin looking up at the red head.

"Good girl." Raph narrowed his eyes as the men put him to his feet.

"We do this and this is all over. No more fighting and running. No more moving, just normal lives?" Jade asked as Bishop moved closer to her. He noticed out of the corner of his eye as Leonardo shifted a bit. A smirk went across his face as he took another step closer to the girl.

"If that is what you think will happen my dear, I'll see to it that it does." He said as she eyed him carefully.

"That doesn't sound too assuring." Lexine spoke up as he turned towards her for a moment with a smile.

"I give you my word."

"You're word means nothing." Leonardo growled as Bishop ignored him.

"Deal?" Bishop asked holding out his hand towards Jade as she looked down at it for a moment. Her arms were released and her hand twitched to reach for his as she looked over at Leo. He shook his head, with pleading eyes and she looked away clenched hers shut.

"Deal." Jade said putting out her hand and looking away from the shake as if it was a sting. Leonardo growled tossing his arms around once more as Jade hung her head.

"You trust him?" Lexine whispered as Bishop walked away, her and Jade both eyeing him carefully as Jade shook her head.

"No, I trust my gut. This will be done and if he tries something, so will he." Jade said lifting her head slowly to look over at Bishop.

Landing on an old building her tracker had sent her too, near the outskirts of the city. She kneeled down over a skylight window, peering inside as she saw movement from below. Carefully opening one of the window panels she leaned in to try and see if she could hear anything.

Foot steps coming from under her hit her ears as she watched men escorting the group of girls and turtles below her. She clenched her fists for a moment, narrowing her eyes as she watched her muscles tingling to strike. She waited until the heavy metal door slammed shut on hits hinges before she dropped down into the building.

She kept her hand on the hilt of her katana as she walked slowly through the darkness of the building, following the path that the turtles and girls just came.

She knew he had been lying. They should have been half-way to the Headquarters by now, but they were here no scars, no bleeding as if no torment went on at all. She opened the door slowly and looked through the crack as she saw the hallway was clear. Stepping inside she pressed her back against the wall and walked along it following the sounds of voices being carried.

"You trust him Jade…" She heard Leonardo's rough voice say in a low yell as she rounded a corner. "That's enough for me."

"I have no other choice Leo! What do you want me to do?"

"Trust me!"

"I never said I didn't."

"You're answer to him said enough." Karai furrowed her brow for a moment as she looked in around another corner to the group of eight standing in a brightly lit room. She Noticed Lexine pick her head up in Karai's direction as she darted behind the wall again.

"What is it?" Donatello asked as Lexine shook her head for a moment, an intent glare on the opened doorway before them.

"Not sure. Just thought, I saw something." She shrugged.

"Do we even know if Casey and April are alright, or Master Splinter? Did any of you see him while we left?" Fiona asked as she clung to Michelangelo's side. He shrugged looking towards his brother's as Leonardo snapped a glare at Jade as she stood with her head down.

"I'm not sure." Leo said his voice still in a harsh tone.

"It seems that everything should be in order." Bishop said with a smile as men followed him from the other room with the turtle's weapons in hand. Raphael snatched his away sliding them into his belt as Leonardo examined his blades before sticking them in the scabbard on his shell.

"Where's our family?" He asked crossing his arms.

"You're human friends? They're back home and safe, they're no concern to any of this. Might as well leave them be. But, I will assure you if something goes wrong know that they're lives are on your hands. Your father however, he is here in this facility." He smirked.

"Where?" Leonardo demanded taking a step forward as his men took one towards him. Raphael went to his brother's side as the others fell in line behind him.

"Not to worry Leonardo. He is safe, for now. Let's just call this a bargaining chip."

"No one bargains with our father's life!" Raphael growled as he took another step. Leonardo stuck his arm out to stop his brother from charging towards Bishop as he stayed perfectly still, his hands clenched behind his back.

"Like I said, there is not a need to worry Raphael. If you eight do what we had plan, everything will be the way it should." Bishop smirked before turning his back towards the eight and walking down the hall. Jade swallowed hard, not wanting to look back towards the fierce eyes wrapped in blue tearing a hole into her.

"Let's go." He said turning towards his brothers as they followed, the girls lagging behind, besides Jacqueline who treaded along side Raphael.

"We have to go Jade." Lexi said softly as her sister stood staring at the white wall in front of her.

"I should have known. We should have been prepared. Now, something bad is going to happen and it's all my fault." She sighed before turning away from her sister's and following the others. Fiona and Lexine exchanged worried glances for a moment before following her.
