Chapter fourteen
Topside in the Battleshell
Silence filled within the vehicle and around the three terrapin brothers. The blue clad terrapin gazed his hot head brother within the corner of his eye, warily and concerningly wondered. 'Something doesn't seem right and Raphael is not his normal self.'
"Leo.? Leo!" Mikey called, grabbing his shoulder.
The blue clad terrapin gazed in the reviewing mirror above, glancing his orange clad baby brother and answered. "Yes Mikey."
"You alright, bro?" Mikey asked concerned
"I'm fine, just alittle tired." Leo answered
Raph continued to gaze out the passenger window, silently paused.
Mikey turned and gazed his other older brother, without a single word and wondered what is happening. Raph was just bitten by some strange beast and now he is behaving weirdly.
Silence was resumed within the battle shell as they continued driving back to the lair.
Meanwhile down in the sewers, just outside the lair's entrance
April finally returned back to the lair, carrying her delivered hot Chinese food, something suddenly gave way it's presence as a piece of the sewer walls fell and disturbed the water. April felt as she was followed but unsure by whom. Walking back to the disturbed water and peeked around the wall, hoping to catch the stalker in the act, only to find nothing but a small group of rats feeding on scattered rubbish. Assuming that was what disturbed the sewer water and land on the concrete before meeting the flowing stream, unaware that her senses were right. She was stalked but couldn't see in the dark properly, returning back to the lair's entrance while the shadowy stalker walked out from the sewer shadows of the burrow and continued following April. The red haired mother to be, grabbed the door handle and quickly looked over her shoulder in case, she was not followed and assumed that she is safe and as April walked inside, Don was standing waiting, leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
"Where did you go, April? You should have waited for me to get what you wanted instead of going up topside by yourself in your condition." Don softly told his friend that he still had deep strong mutual feelings.
"Don't fret, Donnie. I'm alright aren't I? Besides...you were busy with your findings." April replied, telling the purple clad terrapin of her concerns.
"You should have still waited, you are pregnant and it is not safe for you if something happened." Don reassured warily.
"You're right...I should have but like I said you were busy and I was having cravings for Chinese food and a girl has to eat." April replied
Don warmly and softly smiled, nodded then took the food. "Let's go sit down and relax. While at I'm thinking of it, maybe later...would you like to hear your baby's heartbeat, depending how far along you are?" Don offered
April returned the smile, kissed his cheek and whispery replied. "I would like that. Thankyou Don."
"Anytime April." Don blushed
The two friends made their way to the living room and comfortably sat down. Outside the lair, Brenna searched a way inside only find nothing but a brick wall and piping. Growing frustrated as she continued to find a way inside then it struck her, if can't get inside then try to find another way.
The young girl walked down the dark shadow tunnel until she found a ladder, leading up to a manhole. Climbing up the ladder, pushing the manhole lid aside with one hand as she held upon the ladder railing with the other, the sunlight showed down upon her through the manhole opening as she made her way out of the sewers.
Before standing up, she grabbed the manhole lid placed it back how she found it then went to find new clothes to wear. Raising the collar up over her neck, walking along the street until she came across alleyway where a line full of street clothing were hung up.
Taking her coat off, placing it over the broken pipe sticking out from the wall as she reached up and took the razor back singlet and black denims, quickly dressed in the clothes before she was discovered and slipped her newly given coat on then disappeared in the nearby crowd.
