Leonardo was first, Raphael waited as he watched and prepared to follow when he felt his shoulder was grasped unexpectedly. Readily prepared to defend himself but had stepped as he faced his brothers, Mikey and Donnie.
"Raph, it's me. Mikey." Raphael halted and answered. "You scared me little brother." Raphael rose his brow as he noticed a familiar scent. "Did...?"
Mikey nodded. "Yes, shamrock are down below in the alleyway with luka." Jarrod approached, revealing himself.
"I do believe your elder brother is waiting for our assistance." Raphael nodded, agreeably. "Let's go."
Leading the way, his brothers followed and Jarrod stood, remaining behind for a moment. Realised his skills weren't as talented. Resourcing himself to old way, lurking in the shadows and silent as he led the pack inside. Leonardo waited within a darkened room, his brothers finally entered. Leonardo softly spoken.
"Took you long enough, my brothers."
"Sorry Leo. Our brothers finally caught up and mikey's in-laws are here as well."
"Shamrock?" Leo rasped softly. Mikey nodded. "We are all here."
His brothers nodded, waited instructions and without further delay or words exchanged. Leonardo, the eldest of his clan. The blue clad terrapin leader. Turned on his heel, leading the way toward the closed dark wooden brown door. Opened it, slowly but carefully and cautiously on the other side. The corridor was empty, silent and dark.
Cautiously scouted from the doorway, looked both directions. All was clear, Leonardo signaled silence with his finger upon his lips. He, the first to leave and stealth to the corridor end corner and followed by his brothers.
meanwhile
Elena cuddled her knees gently to her chest as she cried. Powerless, trapped herself as she heard muffled cries, violent and vicious taunts and abhorrent thumps.
Endless tears streamed down her cheeks, lightly covered and tried to block out the violence occuring from her hearing. Then finally silence.
Elena thought nothing of what could be if it were her. She prayed for her husband to rescue her and their unborn child. Rose her eyes, seeing the light shine and gave way outside her cell door whilst the men mocked, bragged even laughed about their fun. Their fantasy.
Elena listened and felt sickened, mortified. Caressed her abdomen, prayed and waited.
