Writers block is over! At least for this chapter. So now I'm balancing my time between this story and my new one 'Evidence'. Check it out if you want, it's a NCIS one.
"I don't know about this guys." Mike said quietly as he ran across the rooftops. "I mean, what if something happens?"
"We haven't been on patrol for nearly a week now Mikey," Leonardo reminded his brother. "we need to get back into the system."
"Leo's right Mikey, we need to protect the city." Don stated.
"Yeah, besi'es, how much trouble coul' they really get into? They're jus' kids, and they're us, we kno' what they're like."
"Yeah, and we all know what happened when we were their age, don't we?"
"That was different Mikey."
"Was it Leo, was it really?"
~Slight Miscalculation~
"Raph! Raph!"
"Wha' Leo?!"
"You can't just leave." Leo attempted to reason. "The older turtles told us to stay."
The four turtles were currently a good couple minute away from the lair. Raph, having gotten bored, had left the lair and ran down the sewers, his younger brothers in tow. Leo was the only one trying to convince them to go back.
"You follow any'ne's orders, ya Lame-o-nardo?" Raph questioned his elder brother.
"Only if they were for our safety." Leo stated.
"Pushover."
"Raph!" Leo grabbed onto Raph's arm in a final attempt to pull him back home, but instead found himself on the floor, Raph having punched him in the jaw for his troubles.
"Raph!"
"Waphie!"
His younger brother's cries of horror hardly registered in the green eyed turtle's mind as he raised his fist to hit Leo again. Suddenly, a slow clapping echoed throughout the tunnels, stopping the second eldest in his attack. All four turtles looked around, startled, terrified at the noise.
A figure walked out of the shadows in front of the children, his black coat almost dragging behind him.
"A brilliant display children." He began, the compliment as empty as his heart. "I cannot wait to see what else you show me."
Leo quickly got to his feet and stood in front of his brothers, attempting to protect all three of them as if the confrontation had never happened.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched upwards before he turned behind him as nodded once. Two soldier's crept out the shadows, each firing two darts from their guns, all of which logged itself into a separate turtle before any could react.
All four dropped to the ground, the splashing of the water echoing as loud as the claps just had.
~Slight Miscalculation~
"We're back guys!" Don called as the four of them walked in.
Silence
"Dudes?" Mike called.
Silence once again
"They must of left." Leonardo stated with a sigh. "I'll go check the tunnels."
"I'll come with ya." Raphael said. Leo nodded as the two of them ran out.
Don and Mike continued to check the lair for any sign of the four baby reptiles, but every time came up empty. It was as if they disappeared without a trace.
"They're not here!" Mikey yelled in frustration a good few minutes later.
"They're not in the sewers at all." Leonardo told the other two as he and Raphael met them in the kitchen. "And I think I know why."
He slid the glasses across the kitchen table, the black glass glistening in the light.
"Bishop." Don spat.
"What do we do guys?" Mike asked desperately, knowing from experience how Bishop could be.
Silence
Silence was his only answer
