Chapter 21

Months later, Makayla had developed a new friendship with a 15 year old police officer. The girl's name was Officer Melissa Shallowgrave. Melissa liked how Makayla would always mess up so they end up playing police chase with each other. Makayla always thought that this was weird that her friend was always arresting her but other than that she loved it. Makayla's family thought that this was cute but Master Splinter also thought that this was funny too. Makayla didn't care about what other people thought about it she just loved to play around with her friend. So one day when Makayla was with her best friend Morgan, they walked into a convenient store. Makayla was taking money out of an A.T.M machine but just as she was about to walk out, her friend Officer Melissa Shallowgrave showed up. She walked in and said, " What are you doing Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Using the A.T.M machine Melissa."

Melissa says, " You don't have an account let alone a card to get money out of here."

Makayla says, " I don't need to. I just press these buttons and it gives me money."

Melissa says, " You do know that it's stealing Makayla."

Makayla says, " Yeah but c'mon give me a break Melissa."

Melissa says, " I'm afraid I'm gonna have to arrest you again."

Makayla says, " Aw c'mon Melissa I'm your friend!"

Melissa says, " Yeah well sorry."

Makayla says, " Wait! You have to chase me and catch me first Melissa!"

Melissa says, " Oh I'm way ahead of you there Makayla Hamato! Come back here!" Melissa met Morgan and she continued to chase after Makayla. Makayla jumped on her skateboard and started riding through the streets on it.

Makayla excitedly shouted, " Cowabunga!"

Melissa says, " Come back here Makayla!" and continues to chase Makayla on foot. Makayla comes to a manhole cover, lifts it up, and climbs down the ladder into the sewers. Melissa follows her down into the sewers and continues the chase. Melissa pulled out her flashlight and shined it on Makayla.

Makayla says, " You gotta catch me Melissa before I make it home!"

Melissa says, " That's just what I intend to do!" When they make it to the lair, they go inside and Makayla catapults herself into the air over the couch.

Makayla smirks and says, " Come and get me Melissa!"

Melissa says, " You really want to test your skills against me Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Yeah come and get me Shallowgrave!"

Melissa says, " Sure thing Hamato!" Melissa flips over the couch to get Makayla but Makayla grabs her friend's arms and flips her onto the coffee table. The table breaks but Melissa gets up unharmed. Makayla and Melissa continue to playfully fight each other. They were laughing and having fun.

Melissa says, " Are you a ninja or something Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Yeah that's exactly what I am Melissa."

Melissa says, " You're pretty good Makayla but not good enough." and she pokes Makayla in the shoulder with two of her fingers. Makayla falls to the floor landing on her stomach.

Makayla looks at her friend and says, "No fair Melissa!"

Melissa says, " Sure it is! Now give me your hands!"

Makayla says, " I don't think so!" Makayla and Melissa wrestled around on the floor while Melissa was trying to grab her friend's hands.

Makayla laughs and says, " Ow your hurting my hand! Let go of my hand Melissa!" Melissa pins one of Makayla's hands behind her back and cuffs it.

Melissa smirks and says, " I don't think so Makayla!" and she fights for the other hand. She then manages to pin the other hand behind Makayla's back and cuffs the other hand.

Melissa continues to smirk and says, "Now I got you!"

Makayla says, " Oh puh-lease I bet you that I can get out of these!"

Melissa says, " Not a chance Hamato!"

Makayla says, " Oh yeah well you just watch!"

Melissa says, " Okay be my guest then." Makayla starts twisting and turning her arms and hands from behind her back. Melissa stared at her with crossed arms in front of her and she was tapping her foot. Makayla somehow got out of the handcuffs and she held them up in Melissa's face.

Melissa gasps and says, " What the...?"

Makayla laughs and says, " Ha ha Melissa I did it!"

Melissa says, " Oh you're good!"

Makayla says, " Thanks! Now you have to chase me again."

Melissa smiles and says, " Okay now come here." She chased Makayla up the stairs and found herself right outside of Makayla's bedroom.

Melissa says, " Makayla I know you're in there. Come on out."

Makayla(imitating an old lady), "Makayla's not here! I'm just an old lady!"

Melissa says, " Well hardy har har! Very funny Makayla! I'm coming in to get you!" and she unlocked the door. She came into the room and searched for Makayla. When she found her, Makayla decided to give herself up and spend the night in jail. Then the next morning, Makayla came back to the lair and she was hanging out with her friends. She was having the time of her life. Then the next day, Makayla and her friends were assigned to do a music video for their video class. They decided on the song Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks. Makayla, Morgan, Austin and Julia decided to recruit Melissa to play the cop in the music video. She said that she would do it. The five friends went to the lair to create their set for the video.

Makayla says, " Donny can you come here for a second?"

Donatello says, " Yeah what is it Makayla?"

Makayla says, " Two things, can I borrow your bo staff and the Battle Shell for a little bit?"

Donatello says, " Why?"

Makayla says, " Because my friends and I are shooting a music video for our video class and I need those two things."

Donatello says, " What song are you doing?"

Makayla says, " We're doing Goodbye Earl."

Donatello says, " Okay." and hands over his bo staff to his sister. Then he says, " Just don't break anything Makayla! I don't want to have to break your head!"

Makayla says, " Okay."

Donatello says, " So what are you using my bo staff for?"

Makayla says, " Austin and I are supposed to play a married couple and Austin is the abusive one."

Donatello says, " So you're playing Wanda and he's playing Earl?"

Makayla says, " Yes."

Donatello says, " And he's supposed to hit you with my bo staff?"

Makayla says, " He's not really going to hit me! We're acting!"

Donatello says, " Just make sure he doesn't hit you for real or Raph will chase him with his sais."

Makayla laughs and says, " Okay." She then goes to shoot the video with her friends. Then the next day, Makayla and her friends played the video for their class. Some kids and even the teacher laughed at the parts that were funny.

Mr. Warren says, " Who was that you pushed out of the shot Makayla?"

Makayla says, " That was my older brother Leo."

Mr. Warren says, " That was very funny. Your group gets an A+!" Everyone in the class applauded them. Then weeks later, something very disturbing happened. Makayla was with three of her friends, Morgan, Max, and Bridget. They were walking home from a movie one night when all of a sudden there was a gang of african american boys that approached them. One of the boys was threatening Makayla.

He says, " Just hand over the phone before my home boys kill you!"

Makayla says, " No way punk! Leave me alone!"

Morgan says, " Yeah! Why don't you get out of here you jerks?!"

The boy says, " No way ya bitch!" Morgan gasped and angrily says, " Listen here you jerk! No one ever calls me that!"

Max angrily says, " Yeah! So leave my friends alone!" Within seconds a fight broke out, one of the boys pulls out a gun and shots were fired. Makayla had gotten shot in the head. She was lying on the ground bleeding very badly but she managed to push the emergency signal button on her shell cell. Morgan and her other two friends had called 9.1.1.

9.1.1 operator says, " 9.1.1, what's your emergency?"

Morgan(screaming), " I need an ambulance quick! My best friend was shot!"

9.1.1 operator, " Calm down young lady! You said your friend was shot?"

Morgan(screaming), " Yes! Just send me an ambulance now!"

9.1.1 operator says, " Where was your friend shot at?"

Morgan(screaming), " In the head!"

9.1.1 operator says, " Okay and is there anyone else with you?"

Morgan(screaming), " Yes! My friends Max and Bridget!"

9.1.1 operator says, " Okay and where are you at?"

Morgan(screaming), " At the corner of Greenburg Drive and Walsh Avenue!"

9.1.1 operator says, " Okay and what is your name?"

Morgan(screaming), " Morgan Shroeder!"

9.1.1 operator says, " Okay Morgan I'm dispatching the rescue and law enforcement to your location and they will do what ever they can to help your friend."

Morgan says, " Thank you!" and she hangs up. Then a few minutes later, rescue and law enforcement arrive on the scene and transported Makayla to the hospital. Moments later, Makayla's family arrives on the scene.

Leonardo says, " Morgan what happened here?"

Morgan cries and says, " Makayla's been shot Leo!"

Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo and Master Splinter simultaneously say, " She's been what?!"

Morgan cries and says, " She's been shot!"

Raphael angrily says, " How da shell did dis happen Morgan?!"

Morgan cries and says, " We were coming home from the movies when all of a sudden a gang of teenage boys walked up to us and started threatening your sister!"

Donatello says," What did they say to her?"

Morgan cries and says, " One boy said, " Give me the phone before my home boys kill you!""

Michelangelo says, " Then what happened dudette?"

Morgan says, " I told him to leave her alone but he yelled at me and called me a bitch!"

Master Splinter says, " Morgan watch your language!"

Morgan says, " It's true! That's what he called me!"

Leonardo says, " Keep going."

Morgan says, " Then Max got into this, yelled at him for calling me that, then we got into a fight with these guys, one of the guys pulls out a gun, shots were fired and Makayla was shot in the head!"

Donatello says, " Where is she now?"

Morgan says, " At the hospital." Leonardo called April and Casey and told them what happened. Casey said that when he finds the guys who shot his friend they would be dead as doornails. April was pretty mad and upset too. When Melissa heard that some boys shot her friend she immediately went out on a wild police chase to find them and arrest them for hurting her friend. She also got the help of other officers and Makayla's boyfriend Austin. When they found the suspects, Melissa pointed her gun at them and said, " Put your hands up now!"

One boy said, " We ain't doin' nothin' that you say!"

Melissa shouted, " I don't care! Put your hands up!"

Another boy said, " Why should we listen to you? You're just a teenage girl!"

Melissa says, " Yes and I'm also a cop! Now do what I said or you're getting tased!"

Another boy said, " We ain't done nothin'!"

Melissa shouted, " That's a lie! You shot my friend Makayla Hamato!"

Another boy said, " Is that what the bitch's name is?!"

Melissa shouted, " Yes and she is not a bitch! She is a very good friend of mine!"

Austin shouted, " Yeah and she is also my girlfriend!"

Another boy said, " Shut up! We don't give a damn care about your girlfriend!"

Austin shouted, " Alright that's it! You want a piece of me?!"

The boy says, " Yeah bring it!" Austin starts a fight with them but Melissa steps in with the other officers to break it up. She pulls Austin aside to talk to him.

Melissa says, " Look Austin I know you're upset that these guys shot Makayla and talked smack about her but you can't go picking a fight with them."

Austin says, " I know but I'm mad Melissa."

Melissa says, " I'm also mad too but we need to handle this situation maturely."

Austin says, " Yeah you're right." Just then Casey Jones shows up and starts beating up the boys like bats out of hell. Melissa turns around and sees what is happening.

Melissa says, " Who is that?"

Austin says, " That's Casey Jones. He's a friend of mine and Makayla's."

Casey(swinging his hockey stick), " You shot my friend so you're gonna pay!" He continues to beat living daylights out of them. Then Melissa breaks up the fight. Casey gets mad and was about to hit Melissa when Austin stop him.

Austin says, " Woah woah calm down man! She's one of my friends!"

Casey says, " I'm sorry I lost my cool there."

Melissa says, " That's okay."

Casey says, " So what's your name?"

Melissa says, " Melissa Shallowgrave."

Casey says, " Nice name."

Austin says, " Yeah and she's a police officer."

Casey says, " Ain't ya too young to be an officer?"

Melissa says, " Everyone says that but I'm very experienced when it comes to law enforcement." She then arrested the boys that were involved in the shooting and they were escorted to jail. Then Melissa, Austin and Casey joined the others at the hospital.
