Chapter 12

"Doctor…We should start now" A nurse said

"I agree…Lets begin" Dr. Coplan said

Before starting, Dr. Coplan reached towards Leo's head and lifted the piece of metal that his head rested on. He stopped and Leo got a clear view of his body, he saw the three marker lines where Dr. Coplan would begin cutting. If he could he would run, he would scream, he would grab the scalpel and stab Coplan in the neck. But he couldn't even move his toes even if he tried. He was so numb, a truck could hit him and he wouldn't feel it.

Leo saw as Dr. Coplan slowly lowered the scalpel down to his body, he was going to cut Leo open, and he was going to make Leo watch as he dissected him. How sick could you get?

'Ok Raph…Don…Mikey…Someone? Now would be a good time to you know…Get me out of here' He thought

It seemed unbelievable, he was going to be dissected and that's it. Nothing else. No more Leonardo.

Then it all happened, the scalpel entered through Leo's chest and Dr. Coplan traveled down to underneath his stomach. Then he traveled back up to his chest and made two more incisions, making a large T on his body. Leo didn't feel anything but he saw the fresh blood begin to slowly flow out of the cuts. Leo didn't feel it but he saw his legs begin to twitch.

It was obvious that this was the end, he thought for a millisecond that he could have actually escaped this one somehow, but nope. He already had a large cut in his body, and this was it.

Dr. Coplan smiled as he went to flip back the skin, as he reached for it, he heard someone yell wait. Dr. Coplan stopped and looked up.

"What is it" He said loudly and sharply

"We can't do this" She said

"Why the hell not?" He asked loudly

"Because" said the nurse

Everything after that happened a little too fast, he saw the nurse pull out a pistol and empty the entire clip into Dr. Coplan, he fell to the ground and the nurse yell, "CASEY". Then the whole room was engulfed with smoke, the equivalent of probably four smoke pellets. The next thing he realized was he was lifted onto a gurney and quickly pushed through the doors. Leo all of a sudden was faced with a bright light.

He looked up and saw the ceiling lights quickly pass by, he looked up more and saw Casey pushing him, with April next to him in a nurses outfit. Ok…This one he wasn't expecting.

"R-Raph" Leo said weakly

"Run Casey..Go go go" April shouted

They probably didn't hear him, but he wasn't up for trying again.

…...

Casey quickly pushed himself harder to go faster down the hallway, he looked behind him and saw three security guards chasing them. April was next to him and together they quickly moved down the hallway toward the back exit, where Raph waited in the battle shell.

"April where do I go?" Casey asked

"Turn up here, this should be the last turn" April said

Casey turn left and saw the battle shell through the glass doors, Raph already had the back doors open and Casey pushed himself harder toward the doors. Then once they reached it, April pushed the door open and started shooting down the hallway, making the security guards take cover while Casey pushed the gurney into the battle shell. April reloaded the pistol and continued to fire down the hall.

Then April saw a little black smoke emerge from the hall and then change form into a black dog, with glowing red eyes. April stared at it, mouth opened, eyes wide. Even the security guards stopped and looked at the dogs, it just stood there and growled, teeth showing. Then Dr. Coplan emerged from the hall and held his fist out toward the security guard. The security guard was lifted into the air, then slammed against the wall, then again, as the security guard was slammed into the wall once more, his head turned into a unnatural position, then fell to the ground.

The other two security guards opened fire on him and Dr. Coplan turned into a black smoke and reappeared right in front of one guard and grabbed his neck, and reached out his hand toward the other. The other stopped and stared off into space, then Dr. Coplan jerked his fist and made the security guard lifted his gun, pointed the barrel to his face, then he jerked his hand again and the gun unloaded it's clip into the guards face. He continued to hold the other but the neck, the guard flailed his arms and legs, then Dr. Coplan rammed his fist into the guards stomach, penetrating it. He kept his hand inside for a second, then forcefully pulled out the guards small intestine. The guard stared into Coplan's eyes , eyes wide and jaw open. Dr. Coplan then grabbed the guards jaw and ripped it from its socket.

Gallons of blood fell out and onto the floor, Then he dropped him and he fell limply. April stared, frozen in fear. Then Dr. Coplan pointed his finger and the dog sprinted toward her. Her blood pressure dropped, then she felt two hands grabbed her and pull her into the battle shell. She saw Casey close the two doors and yell for Raph to drive. She scrambled up and stared out the window, the dog jumped through the door and stopped, staring at the truck.

"April" Casey yelled

She looked back at him.

"Help me here" He said, grabbing more gauze pads and putting pressure down on Leo's chest.

She looked out the window and froze in shock, the dog disappeared, the only thing that stood there was the doctor, not moving but staring at the truck.

April couldn't look anymore, it was scary. She fell back under the window and stared at the car door, really not believing what she saw.

"April!" Casey said again

She snapped out of her trance and grabbed more gauze pads, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Casey!" Raph said from the front

"Yeah?"

"Take the wheel!" He said

Casey jumped to the front and grabbed the wheel as Raph climbed into the back.

"Good god" Raph said, seeing his brother

"Raph" Leo said softly and weakly

Raph instantly grabbed Leo's hand, "I'm here bro…I'm here…We got ya"
