Chapter 3
Michelangelo tried to keep his face down while reading his comic book when Master Splinter entered the living room. He wanted to avoid the inevitable question his Master would soon be asking. However, Mikey could not keep his closing eyelids open as he read his comic, which was, for once, not interesting him at all. After last night, he was extremely sore and tired after their big fight with the Purple Dragons. Plus the drama that had gone on between Leonardo and his brothers did not leave them capable of sleeping.
When arriving home a few minuets ago after dropping off Casey at his apartment, Mikey and his bros expected Leo to be already home. But the quietness of the lair told them he wasn't.
Raph had instantly pulled down a box of cereal in the kitchen and proceeded to have a late breakfast and Don heated up some much needed coffee.
Mikey watched them eating silently, and noticed Raph angrily shoving spoonful after spoonful of cereal into his mouth. Sighing, he had decided to get up and join them. But that was when Master Splinter entered the room.
So Mikey fell back into the sofa and hid behind his comic, deciding to leave it up to his older brothers to answer to Leo's whereabouts.
"Good morning, my sons." Splinter said to them as he prepared himself tea. Usually that Leo's job, but for these past few weeks Master Splinter had been doing it himself.
"Morning," was the reluctant reply.

Master Splinter must've noticed the tense silence because a few seconds later he asked:
"Where is Leonardo?"
