Chapter 11: Runaway Raph
"We should get back to the liar," Don said, "Now that we have a face and name we can make a better plan."
"Yeah, sure, just lemme get the rest of my stuff." Spencer was shaking noticeably Raph went over to her an hugged her tightly
"The sun's coming up, we should go." Mikey pointed out
"Okay," Raph said after pulling away from Spencer, "Casey bring Spencer back to our place when she's done here."
"Of course." Casey said
"Let's go already!" Leo complained
"Just wait a minute, Leo!" Don said
"It's okay guys, go I'm fine." She offered
"If I don't see you in an hour I'm coming back!" Raph told her pulling on his trench coat
She laughed, "Go, I'll see you in a few."
The turtles climbed out the window and down the ire escape without making a sound.
"I won't be long." She said going to the closet Raph and Don had been hiding and grabbed a dark green backpack off a self.
"Take your time, it's not like a have a job or anything. Casey sat back down in the reclining chair and turned on the TV. Spencer walked around carefully to be sure she wouldn't miss anything. She threw whatever she could in to the open bag then went to the kitchen and reached on top of the fridge and pulled down a fat wallet she shoved it in the pocket of her jeans.
"You ready?" Casey asked, he'd moved to the door
"Almost." She went to her kitchen table and pulled a leather jacket off the back of one of the chairs, "Okay, let's go."
She lead Casey back down the hallway to the elevator.
Turtle's POV…
"I knew we shouldn't have gone there!" Leo's voice echoed off the sewer walls
"Aw, shut up!" Raph yelled
"She's just another human, Raph, she's nothing special!"
"Leo, shut up!"
"You don't get to call the shots just cause you found another lying slut!"
Raph shoved Leo against the tunnel wall hard and punched him.
"What's wrong with you?" Leo screamed
"Me? There's nothing wrong with me except you! You condescending prick!" He turned around and stalked off the way they'd come.
"You see what you do?" Mikey yelled
"What I do? He's the one with the attitude problem!"
"Him? You always start! Just cause he cares about Spencer and wants to help her you feel the need to bring up the past every chance you get!"
"Are you kidding me, Mikey? Don, come on back me up on this one!"
"Nah, man, I'm outta this one!" Don said leaning against a wall
"Fine! I'm going home!" Leo stomped toward the liar Don and Mikey shrugged and followed him usure of what'd come of the fight
The Liar…
"Where's is Raphael?" Master Splinter asked
"He got angry and walked off." Leo reported
"Angry at what?"
"Who knows?" Leo rolled his eyes
"He got mad at Leo." Mikey interjected
"Leonardo!"
"I wasn't my fault, Master."
"Leonardo, when he comes home make this right, my son!" Splinter retreated to the meditation room
"Hello?" Casey called
"In here!" Mikey said
"Hey," Spencer put her bag down, "Where's Raph?"
"Not here." Leo scuffed
"Leo made him angry and he run off some where." Don said
"It was your fault!" Leo told her
"My fault? Whoa, wait a minute I wasn't even there!"
"If you hadn't sought him out this wouldn't have happened!"
"Hey, screw you! You haven't talked to me the whole time I've been here and then the first time you do you blame me for this! For my brother being killed? For wanted help? For not wanting to be killed?" Tears fell from her eyes, "Screw this! I'm out!"
Spencer ran out the heavy metal door of the liar she climbed up the first ladder she could find and out the manhole onto the streets of New York. She walked as quickly as she could looking in every alley and hiding place she walked by. But no matter how many streets she walked down she couldn't find him and it scared her. She sat on the steps of a building with her head in her hands.
"Raph where are you?" She asked aloud
"Right behind you." Spencer stood up and turned around finding what she'd been looking for
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She climbed the stairs as quickly as she could and kissed him hard on his mouth, "You scared me."
"I'm sorry, Spence." He spoke into her hair
"What happened?"
"It… it doesn't matter." He held her tighter not wanting to ever let go he knew now that Leo was wrong, that Spencer is undoubtly different.
"Come on let's go." Spencer looked over her shoulder noticing people beginning to fill the streets
"No, not yet I can't go back there."
"Then where do you want to go?" She thought for a moment, "A motel?"
"Yeah." Raph nodded and took her hand walking down the pavement. They walked to one of those seedy cheap love motels and rented a room.
They sat on the bed together silently for awhile. Until Spencer grew bored with the emptiness and moved closer to Raph tracing the veins on his arm and the outline of muscles on his shell. He kissed the top of her head and relaxed once more looking up he saw the mirror on the ceiling and watched himself yawn. Spencer rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Eventually they both slept soundly through the day.
5 days I promise this time only 5 days no more no less! R&R!!!
