I heard a helicopter approach. Suddenly lights from all different directions hit us. "Freeze! This is NYPD! Put you hands above your heads!"
"Let's book!" Raph muttered.
"Don't! They have guns, they'll shoot you down!" I said.
"I ain't afraid of no guns." Raph smirked.
"One shot from these guns can take your head and shoulders clean off." I looked at Raph. "Don't move, do what they say. For now."
We all put our hands above our heads.
A bunch of police ran onto the roof. "Drop your weapons!"
We all put our weapons on the ground. All the police stared at us. One of them stepped forward. "What are you?"
"Not a threat." Leo responded. "We decided to dress up as giant turtles and play fight with fake weapons on this roof. We were LARPing."
"What do you know about the explosion?" The officer asked.
"We don't know anything about it, it just happened." Leo said. "Before the explosion, I did notice that there were old oxygen tanks over there, maybe something sparked them."
"And what of the girl's bullet wound?"
Leo looked back at me and noticed my wound. He looked back at the officer. "It's fake. Part of our storyline. I can't believe it actually looks that realistic!" Leo pretended to sound enthusiastic about that last part.
The officer turned around to face his men. They all huddled up and talked. I looked up and the helicopter and noticed the gun was currently unarmed. "Guys." I whispered. "Now."
We grabbed our weapons and booked it. "Hey!" I heard the officer yell. We made it down a manhole before the police got the edge of the roof, and before the helicopter light found us again.
"You got shot?!" Leo asked, grabbing my arm. When were almost to the lair.
"Yes, but it's no big deal." I said.
"It's a big deal!" Leo yelled.
I could see Mikey, Donnie, and Raph walk away slowly. I sighed. "It happened when I escaped earlier."
"Escaped from where? Where the hell have you been?" He asked. His eyes were beginning to water.
"I-I woke up earlier today. I was being held captive by the Kraang." I said, feeling my eyes begin to water as well. "How long was I gone?"
"A month and a half." Leo's response put a crack in my heart. "We thought you were dead."
"I'm not dead. The last thing I remember was when I fell, when I slipped out of your hand. I fell onto a concrete floor, and I kicked over a stand full of mutagen cartridges. They fell on me, and broke. I was covered in ooze. It burned. Then everything went blank." I felt a tear escape. Leo's hand caught it before it could leave my cheek.
"Well I'm glad you're okay." He pulled me into a hug. "Just don't ever leave us again, don't ever leave me."
I pulled my head back so I could have eye contact. He looked at me with his amazing, blue eyes. We were both crying. "I'm not going anywhere." I whispered.
He pulled me close and I felt our lips meet. My eyes immediately shut and I was lost in the moment. It felt as if we were the only ones who existed. Everyone says you'll feel fireworks, or sparks fly when you kiss the one. No, there was much more to this kiss. I love him.
