Klunk's Missing
Chapter 8: Findings and-Oh Crap
By ilovemyboys
"Have you foooound anything yet?" Mikey's voice called from the other end.
"Mikey. I told you. We'll call you if we find anything," I replied for what felt like the tenth time. In actuality it probably was the tenth time.
"But Donnnnnie-"
"Mikey, shut up. They'll call us if they find anything," Raph cut in.
"Look Mikey. I need to hang up, okay?"
"Oooooooookaaaaaay…If you reallllly want to put your pooooor, innocent, wooonderful brother through-" CLICK.
I let out a sigh.
"Did you honestly think he wouldn't call?" Leo asked with a grin.
"No. I knew he would. But seriously, every minute?"
"Well. You know Mikey."
"Yeah…Alright, where have we not searched?"
Leo raised an eyebrow.
"Within this area," I added.
"We haven't checked the northern side of the sewers yet."
"Right. We'll start there."
MEANWHILE:
"Raph, do you want to play a game?"
"No."
"Wanna…pull pranks on each other?"
"No."
"Wanna…go…work on your bike?"
Raph glared at me. "No."
"Come on Raph! What do you wanna do? I'm boooored here!"
Master Splinter had gone to meditate while we hung out in the living room BORED OUT OF OUR MINDS! Of course Raphie-boy has been no fun AT ALL!
"Read your comics or something," he grumbled.
"But I read them all already. Twice!"
"Urrrr… Mikey I don't know! Watch TV for all I care!"
"What about you? Aren't you bored?"
"No. I'm fine."
"You don't sound fine."
"Mikey…Do you seriously want me to add another injury to you?" He warned.
"Okay! Okay! Geez. Just trying to make the best out of this situation bro."
And ANYthing to get my mind off Klunk. Doesn't he realize that?
I sighed. "Ow!" My side…ow…
As I held onto it I noticed Raph shift uncomfortably in his chair, trying to reposition his arm.
Oh man…What am I going to do? I'm no use to Klunk like this so I can't go out looking for him…I guess I'll just wait until Leo and Don call again.
…
…
…
Ahhh! I can't take it anymore! I just gotta go find him! But how…Leo and Don are searching everywhere and I sure as shell can't get very far like this…Hmmm…What to do…what to do…
"Hey Mikey."
"Hm?" I turned my attention to Raph.
"Wanna eat something?"
"Sure."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth I heard a grumble in my stomach.
"Ohhhhhhh…man…" I mumbled, holding onto my stomach in pain. "Looks like I've been wanting some food for awhile. Haha."
"Yeah. Your stomach has a mouth of its own. Just like you."
"Hey!"
MEANWHILE:
We had been walking for about a half hour through the northern tunnels of the sewers, searching for Klunk. With no luck. Don's been leading the way since he's studied these tunnels more than any of us as I followed. Suddenly he stopped in front of me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We're coming toward a pool of water. Be on guard. There are still some creatures down here we won't want to come across."
"Right."
As we made our way through a narrow tunnel, it opened up to a spacious pool of water.
"Don…You don't think…" I started, looking at the deep creviceof water in front of us.
"I don't know," he said quietly. "But we'll check it out."
As we looked around, we found fish, toads, even the occasional fly or bug. But no Klunk.
Don let out a sigh as he walked back toward me. "Any luck?"
I shook my head. "Looks like we better call Mikey."
"Oh yeah. I'm surprised he hasn't called us yet."
"I'll call him up," I said. "Must have found something to occupy his time."
Pulling out the Shell Cell I dialed his number.
RING! RING!
"Yeah, what is it?" Raph's gruff voiced answered.
"Raph? What are you doing with Mikey's Shell Cell?"
"This is mine Fearless."
Oh. Wow. That's embarrassing.
"Um…well then could you tell Mikey that we haven't had any luck yet. I know he wanted updates."
"Yeah, whatever, fine."
"Okay thanks," I said and hung up.
"Well?"
"Raph said he'll tell him."
"Good. Then we better try another spot."
"Right," I said.
We were walking only 5 minutes when my Shell Cell rang.
"Must be Mikey," I said. "Hello?"
"Leo. We got a problem."
"What?" I asked, concern overwhelming my entire body.
"Mikey's gone."
