*************************************************************
Chapter seven-Interrogating Casey Jones & The Search begins
While in the apartment...
Casey tried to stand up on his other uninjured leg and reach for the phone. Grunting and groaning as the agonising pain throttled in his broken right leg. Trying to hop out of the bedroom and avoid any furniture along the way when he finally reached the door. He wiped away the excess sweat from his forehead, grasping the door frame as he huffed and puffed air before continuing to hop towards the couch.
Looking back where the ruffled sheets sat on the blood stained bed and correlated his alibi; trembling with fear and worry. Closed his eyes and lowered his head in disgust and shame in himself as he sat down in the couch then reached for the phone.
Casey dialled 911 for emergency ambulance.
"What is the state of you emergency?" operator enquired
"I need a ambulance immediately; I have severed broken and bleeding leg." Casey replied, stating his injury
"We will be there immediately but first may I have your residential address." Operator requested
Casey gave the address as he waited to be picked up and taken to the hospital for medial attention. Placing the phone down when he heard loud tire screeching that echoed outside, assuming to be hoonies drag racing again. The sound of fast passé footsteps running up the stairs from the shop were heard before noticed whom the visitors.
Four shadowy figures stood by the staircase, silent. Casey grunted in defence and grabbed the first object within his reached.
"Casey?" Leo called, stepping out from the shadow
"Guys. I am glad to see you, could you give me a hand to go the hospital please." Casey requested, forgetting about what he had done and unaware of their disappointed and angry glances.
Leo lunged and grasped his shirt then held the dark haired brute in the air as he began to bellowed his question. "WHAT THE SHELL WERE YOU THINKING OF ABUSING APRIL, CASEY?" Leo angrily bellowed, clenching his teeth and tightened his grip.
"Whoa whoa guys. What do you mean abusing? I never harmed April. I swear." Casey replied, protesting his innocence
"Cut the crap Casey Jones. We have seen the bruises." Don angrily hissed, narrowing his eyes into deadly slits
"Um, guys what are you talking about?" Mikey asked confused
"I saw a large black bruise on April's right forearm. And she said that Casey had been abusing her." Leo explained, gritting his teeth
"YOU JERK! YOU DON'T DESERVE HER. WE SHOULD GIVE YOU THE SAME HYDING THAT YOU GAVE APRIL..." Mikey threatened, wanting to avenge the red haired maiden
Don noticed Casey couldn't move his leg and grabbed his brother's shoulder. "Leo put him down." Don requested
"Why?" Leo hissed angrily
"Something is wrong with his leg." Don replied, curiously wondered to examine his leg in case that he may be faking his injury
"You should thanked my brother, you piece of trash." Leo hissed, gritting his teeth then viciously threw Casey into the couch then walked away, allowing his purple clad terrapin brother to examine the ungrateful human.
Casey grunted in agony as his leg thudded to the ground when a snap in his leg gave way. They heard the snap; Leo gave no sympathy but mikey stood nearby unsure. Don knelt down and pulled out a shuriken from his belt; cut his trousers then tore it open further. While examining the injury and confirmed his suspicions.
Don smirked and stood up then walked away leaving the wound for medical paramedics to fix as this is one injury he will not treat; especially a woman beating brute. Don folded his arms and stated.
"Leo looks like someone already has."
"Meaning?" Mikey wondered, folding his arms across his plastron chest
"Meaning that whomever that did this Casey has done us a favour even though it would not be approved by Master Splinter if we beat Casey more than he already endured." Don explained, reminding his brothers what their master may say or do.
Master Splinter stood silently in the shadow near staircase and listened the conversation and watched his sons interrogated their formal friend.
"My sons." Splinter called
The three terrapins turned and faced the staircase where their sensei stood. They stepped back as the old rat walked towards the centre of the living room. Master Splinter stood before Casey glaring angrily but remained calm.
"Is there something you wish to come clean about, Casey Jones?" Splinter calmly asked
Casey sat in the couch silent. Lowering his head; closed his eyes. The old rat sighed and lowered his head, facing the floor as he closed his eyes. The purple clad terrapin glanced over his shoulder, looking towards the bedroom where the mysterious nameless young woman laid; injured. Or is she?
Don walked to the bedroom and saw the bed was empty but noticed it was disturbed. The bed occupied the young woman when he left the apartment with April earlier. He lifted the covers and discovered a blood stain then remembered; the stain was not on the sheets before. Running of the room and viciously grasped Casey's throat, pushing past his brother.
"Donnie, what the shell?" Mikey cried, shocked
"What did you do to the girl? Where is she?" Don harshly hissed, clenching his teeth
"Donnie...please...she fell from...please I can't breathe." Casey breathily replied, gasping for air and tried to break free from his terrapin grasp.
"My son, this will not help. Release him." Splinter assured his son to release the brute's throat so he could answer the question before he slipped on conscious.
Don clenched his teeth, his hand trembled as he released Casey; allowing him to breathe again. Casey coughed and inhaled to fill his lungs and rubbed his throat and coughed once more.
Leo grasped Donatello's shoulder assuringly when he understood as the purple clad terrapin grabbed and pushed his hand away then stormed to the chair and sat down. Covering his face, inhaled air and tried to calm down before his anger consumed him.
"Ooo-ok. What girl?" Mikey asked, rubbing his head
"April found this young girl in the alley earlier and now she is gone. She fell from the bed and I tried to help her then she freaked out, broke my leg and knocked me out." Casey explained softly
"Hmm...I wonder what she could be afraid of?" Leo wondered
"Whatever it may be my son, we must find her before someone else finds her." Splinter told his terrapin sons before he smelt something he didn't detect earlier. He could smell alcohol then suspect horrible occurred.
"Master Splinter?" Mikey called
The old rat heard his orange clad terrapin son called but didn't reply. His ears twitched.
"Quickly disappear." Splinter ordered
Knock knock
"Hello! Anyone home?" the paramedics called
"Come in." Casey answered
The apartment door opened and the paramedics rushed inside the apartment, carrying the medical bag and wheeled in the bundy.
"Sorry I couldn't open the door as ya can see...my leg is broken and bleeding." Casey told the paramedics
"That's fine; by the looks of your leg, sir. You will need it to be operated upon to have it straightened." Paramedic assured as he and his assistant aided Casey to the bundy.
"Whatever you do sir; remain still as this is difficult situation." Paramedic told Casey
"No problem." Casey replied
Up above on the rooftop of the building...
The terrapins and their sensei watched the paramedics wheeled Casey into the back of the ambulance. Leo sensed anger within his sensei when he also noticed his clawed hands tightened upon his walking stick.
"Sensei, are you alright?" Leo worriedly asked
"Casey has a hidden agenda. I smelt alcohol on his breath." Splinter warily replied
The terrapins gasped in shocked but not surprised. They knew he drank but not to the extent where he had no sense of morals or self control but that was still no excuse for the abuse he inflicted upon April.
"Where do we start searching?" Mikey asked
"Master Splinter and I will search in the park while you and Donnie search in the sewers. When have the girl; try not frightened her anymore than she already may be and take her back to the lair." Leo suggestingly ordered
"Great plan but does any one know what she looks like?" Mikey wondered confused, holding his hands mid-air
"She is 5'3"; American-Indian appearance and approximately about 16 years of age." Don answered, explaining the young girl's description.
"Alright then; let's get started." Leo suggested, leaping down the fire escape with master splinter following behind him while mikey and don went back to the van then returned to the sewers.
In the park
Meanwhile the ebony black haired young maiden ran, ran and ran until she couldn't run no more. Feeling the tiring exhaustion waved over her; she fell to the ground on conscious when she was found by a couple were on an evening date; walking through the park.
"Oh my gosh!" a woman cried, running to her side
"Jeana. What are you-" the man stammeredly wondered when he realised why his date ran off so quickly
"Kevin...call 911. She is alive but something has happened to her." the woman told her date
The man took out his phone and dialled the emergency number.
"What is the state of your emergency?" operator asked
"I need an ambulance." Kevin requested
"Where are you? Who is in need of help?" operator asked
"A young girl; I'm not sure exactly how old she is. She is hurt and bleeding from her shoulder and we are in central park. Please hurry." Kevin pleaded
"Thankyou sir; an ambulance will be there immediately." Operator replied then hung up
"Are they coming." Jeana asked, taking her jacket off and covered the young girl
"Yeah they're coming. They will be here soon." Kevin replied, tucking his phone in the pocket of his jeans
Jeana gently pulled away the hair away from the girl's face so she could be seen. Kevin picked up the teenager and carried her to the nearest park bench as they waited for ambulance to arrive. Jeana knelt down beside her and grabbed her hand.
"Everything is going to be ok." Jeana whispered softly
