Chapter 8: Fighting and Plans
"Trust me Spencer, he'll understand." Raph whispered taking Spencer's hand in his as Leo and Master Splinter entered the living room. Leo had a smile glued to his face as he looked at Raph almost as if to say 'You're gunna get it'.
"Master I can explain!" Raph jumped in, but stopped when Splinter put up a hand to stop his son.
"Later, Raphael." He turned to Spencer, "What brings you here, young one."
"I…I need your family's help." She explained, "I…didn't know where else to go."
"You can stay here." Splinter offered
"WHAT?!" Leo's smile leapt from his face after what his sensei said registered in his mind
"Leonardo, do not raise your voice to me!" Splinter turned to see his shocked and horrified son
"But sensei, don't you remember the last time Raph told a girl about us?"
"That is in the past, my son, Raphael has learned from his experiences, as we all do, and would not make the same mistake twice. If he brought her down here it must mean he trusts her enough to." Splinter turned back to Spancer, "What is your name?"
"Spencer, Spencer Hart." She bowed respectfully
"Spencer, I'd like to speak with you alone, please follow me."
"Of course." Raph touched her arm as she walked away from him behind Splinter to the meditation room. After he heard the door close behind they Leo spoke up.
"You just couldn't wait to bring another pretty little lair here could ya?" he spat
"She approached me!"
"Bull! She's gunna be just like that other chick, Raph, and you know it!"
"Believe whatever you want, bro, but I know the truth." Raph looked around the living room to see Mikey had come back and was now lying on the couch. "Why don't you make yourself useful and go wake up Don?"
"Why don't you make me, tough guy?" Leo challenged
"Forget it, I'll go tell 'im myself!" Raph left and Leo stared in disbelief at an all too calm Mikey
"You knew didn't you?"
"Yeah I did, but to quote P!nk, so what?"
"So what?! Mikey, come on dude, what if Serena's like that other chick?"
"First of all her name is Spencer, and second she's not I talked to her."
"But how do you know that? What do you know about her? What's her story?"
"I know because I talked to her, I didn't judge her by what happened with Baya. And why don't you just ask her yourself if you want to know about her so badly?"
"I hate talking to lairs! And I won't talk to her!"
"Why not? Because you can trust her she was pretty open with me; I asked her a ton of questions."
"I can't believe you Michelangelo! You should have told us so we could get rid of her!"
"She's not a cockroach! She doesn't have anywhere else to go! And what about April, huh? We trust her and she's a reported!"
"That's different she needed our help!"
"And so does Spencer, so just deal with it!" He turned on the TV trying to tune out his brother
"You're pathetic, Mikey!" Leo spat, "You don't even know when some one is lying right to your face!"
"Hypocrite." Mikey mumbled flipping through the channels
"What'd you call me?"
"Hypocrite, Leo, you're a hypocrite. You're so full of yourself! Don't you remember when The Shedder gave you that sword? You put all your faith in him and was lying straight to your face! So don't turn this around on me when it's yourself that you're scared of."
"This isn't about me, Mikey!"
"No, I think it is, Leo! Spencer has my trust and if you talked to her you'd know why!" Mikey got up and pushed past Leo and went back to his room to be away from his argumentative brother.
In the Meditation Room…
"Please sit." Master Splinter motioned to one of the pillows that sat on the floor, "Talk to me. Tell me what it is you need help with."
Spencer sat India style on the pillow opposite Splinter.
"It's my older brother, William, two days ago he was killed and I have reason to believe his murderer is now after me." She explained
"Are you positive?" The old sensei asked, though he sensed on reason to doubt her
Spencer nodded, "Yes sir, I am." She began to pick at her over sized T-shirt nervously, "I…I don't have any family, Will was every thing I had left, I wouldn't have approached Raph if I had some where else to go, if I wasn't sure your family could help me."
"I understand, young one." Splinter handed Spencer a cup of tea he'd poured for her, "We will help you and you may stay here as long as you need to."
"Thank you, thank you." Spencer sipped her tea greatfully. If they couldn't help her she knew she'd end up just another number in the body count of dead girls on the street.
"Do you have any idea of where to begin looking for this person."
"The only place I think he or she might try to find me would be my apartment."
"Than we will begin there." Splinter decided.
All Spencer could do was nod, she was apprehensive about going back it was the last place she saw her brother and was fearful about spending time there and bringing up memories. Spencer hadn't been back there expect to pack a duffle bag after she'd talked to William's landlord who told her not to worry the police were 'handling' it, which she knew was a lie.
