Chapter 15
Raphael had just returned and he decided to watch the news. The newsreporter came in with breaking news. Raphael turned the tv up and listened.
The newsreporter said, " This just in, breaking news! Local resident, Austin Taylor was reported missing after his family's car was stolen from their garage at their house! Austin's mother said that her son was sleeping in the car when the robbery took place. Austin's father said that he saw a street gang driving away with their car. Both of them don't know who the street gang was or how they even got into their garage. Police are investigating the crime scene and they will do everything they can to locate Austin Taylor!" Raphael paused the tv. Then he ran upstairs to Makayla's room. He busted the door open and Makayla said, " Raph, what are you doing?!"
Raphael panicly says, " I'll explain in a minute but right now ya gotta come look at the news, Makayla!"
Makayla says, " Why do you sound so worried?"
Raphael panicly says, " Just come look at the news!"
Makayla says, " Okay, okay! Geez!" Makayla, Morgan and Julia followed Raphael down the stairs. Once they got to the living room, Raphael rewinded the news story. Then he pressed play. Makayla listened and she gasped. Then she cried.
Raphael says, " That's what I was trying to tell ya! Yer boyfriend's missin'!"
Makayla cries and sadly says, " This can't be happening! What if Austin's dead?!"
Raphael says, " I'm sure he's not dead, Makayla!" Makayla continued to cry. When the rest of the family walked in, Raphael explained to them what happened. Everyone was shocked.
Makayla says, " You know what, I'm going out there to save him!"
Leonardo says, " No, you're not, Makayla! You let the police handle it!"
Makayla says, " Leo, he's my boyfriend! I'm not going to let some lowlife street punks hurt my boyfriend!" Makayla turned around and said, " I'm coming, Austin! Nothing is going to come between our love, nothing!" and she ran out of the lair. Klunk the family cat followed after her.
Leonardo says, " Guys, stay here! I'm going after Makayla and Klunk!" Leonardo ran out of the lair too. Meanwhile, Makayla and Klunk took the Battle Shell out to search for Austin. When Leonardo arrived into the garage, he saw the Battle Shell was gone so he jumped on his scooter and raced after Makayla. Makayla didn't know that Leonardo was following her. She was busy listening to Chickens in the Pen by Kid Rock on her ipod.
Makayla sang, " The mule keeps kickin' the chickens in the pen, lets rock all night and then do it again! The clock keeps tickin' and the cock can't win, lets rock all night and then do it again!" Klunk was meowing and purring. Makayla continued singing. She was having so much fun. Then, she spotted Austin's family's car that was parked outside of the Purple Dragons clubhouse. Makayla managed to sneak in there without being seen at that moment and she found Austin hanging upside down by a rope. Makayla quietly said, " Hey, Austin, are you okay?"
Austin quietly said, " Makayla, what are you doing here?"
Makayla quietly said, " I'm here to rescue you. Are you okay?"
Austin quietly said, " Yeah, I'm fine. Can you get me down from here?"
Makayla quietly said, " Yeah." Makayla freed her boyfriend.
Austin quietly said, " Why are we talking so quietly?"
Makayla quietly said, " Duh, we don't want the Purple Dragons to hear us."
Austin quietly said, " Oh yeah, good point. Lets get out of here." Makayla and Austin quietly snuck outside. They started walking back to the Battle Shell when all of a sudden, someone grabbed them and pulled them into the shadows. Makayla screamed until a familiar voice said, " Calm down, Makayla, it's only me!"
Makayla said, " Leo, is that you?"
Leonardo says, " Yes, it's me! What do you think you're doing?"
Makayla says, " I told you what I was doing, Leo, coming here to rescue Austin!"
Leonardo says, " Didn't I tell you to stay back at the lair?"
Makayla says, " Yeah and didn't I tell you that I wasn't going to let some lowlife punks hurt my boyfriend?"
Leonardo says, " Yeah, but that's not the point, Makayla! The point is that you disobeyed me again!"
Makayla says, " You're not Master Splinter, okay!"
Leonardo says, " That is true but I'm the leader, so technically speaking you have to listen to me too!"
Makayla says, " Okay, I'm sorry." Leonardo put his scooter in the Battle Shell and climbed in. Then Makayla and Austin climbed in and Leonardo started driving back to the lair. Neither of them said a word at first but then Leonardo broke the silence by saying, " I can't believe you did that, Makayla."
Makayla sighed and said, " What the shell does that mean, Leo?"
Leonardo says, " I don't know, you tell me, Makayla. Why did you do that?"
Makayla says, " I don't know, I just wanted to protect my boyfriend."
Leonardo says, " And you should have been protecting yourself too."
Makayla says, " I was being careful, Leo."
Leonardo says, " Yeah, but what were you thinking, Makayla? You could have gotten yourself killed."
Makayla says, " I know and I'm sorry. Please can we not talk about this? You're making me feel bad, Leo."
Leonardo says, " Well you're making me feel bad right now too."
Austin says, " Okay, I don't want to be rude but can you two please not have your little sibling fight right now."
Leonardo says, " Austin, we weren't talking to you right now so can you please be quiet."
Austin says, " Yeah, sure Leo."
Leonardo says, " Thank you Austin."
