The turtles were busy investigating that they didn't care if they were spotted by other humans during so. They all couldn't believe what happened. Raph was feeling more guilty by the minute and wish he could tell them that he never meant to cause his brothers so much trouble.
"According to my scanner..." began Donnie scanning the scene of the crime. "They seem to be heading somewhere northeast of the city."
"I can't believe that they escaped just like that" said Mikey for the 100th time already.
"Neither can I" said Leo for once agreeing with Mikey "and it's all Raph' s fault."
"How can this be my fault?" Demanded Raph
"Because if you atlet us help you, then they wouldn't have escaped" argued Leo angrily.
"If you guys didn't focus on me then it wouldn't have happened" said Raph getting mad as well.
"You need our help" protested Leo "What are we supposed to do sit there and do nothing?"
"Fighting the enemy and Don't worry about anything but that" said Raph angrily
"Oh no!" Said Donnie getting a little annoyed and giving a nervous glance to Mikey.
"Not again" said Mikey looking at his brother "how long do you think this one will last?"
"I don't know but it will be ugly" responded Donnie.
"We're a team and a family" said Leo "As team leader it's my responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and that includes you Raphael"
"Well then Splinter jr, you don't have to worry about all of us every five minutes" said Raph angrily Not knowing what's making him feels worse Leo's accution/overprotective attitude, his guilt or his current sickness at the moment.
"Yes I do Raph because you just let Hun and a bunch of purple dragons get away with a bank robbery along without giving a clue where they went" said Leo angrily.
"I didn't let them get away!" Said Raph angrily and already raising his voice.
"Keep your voice down Raph! do you want someone to see us?" Said Leo angrily "if you haven't given up the fight then it wouldn't have happened!"
"If you guys haven't came over to help, then they wouldn't have gotten away!"Said Raph angrily and pointing the facts out.
"So ar you saying that it's my fault?!" Demanded Leo angrily "I'm not the one who keeps himself lock up in my room and never get out for anything except training,patrol and meals!"
"If you put your thick head in my situation then you might understand" said Raph angrily.
"If it's all about you being leader again for the hundredth millionth time, your not ready!" Said Leo angrily "no matter how much avoiding the truth or putting some metal suit as many times you try"
"This Isn't about me becoming leader!"Said Raph angrily
"Oh it Isn't?"said Leo skeptically " hmp your doing a bad job showing it!"
"You know I'm starting to think that you guys might as well be better off without me" said Raph.
"Well for once in your life, your right Rapheal!" Said Leo bluntly "We don't need you! Plus I hate you!"
"Leo!" Said Donnie once Leo finished. Soon all four remained quiet, not a word from each turtle. Both Leo and Raph stare each other. Leo was shock on what he just said and Raph trying to keep a straight face, knowing that what Leo just said was worser than his current physical feelings. While Mikey and Donnie just stared at their older brothers not knowing what to say or do.
"Raph,look I didn't mean it" began Leo. But before he could say anything else, Raph was running away as fast as he can from the three other turtles with the false fact that Leo hates him.
"Leo what were you thinking?!" Yelled Donnie angrily "Saying those things to Raph like that?!"
"And not to mention taking out the problem on him like that" added on Mikey.
"Look guys I didn't mean it! Any of it!" Said Leo "I just trying to ask Raph what happened but I woulnd up loosing my temper"
"Yeah, and you might have managed to upset Raph enough that anyone would consider him ready to run away from home!" Said Donnie angrily "plus from his physical demeanor it looks like that he might be sick!"
"What makes you think that Donnie?" Asked Mikey curiously.
"For two reasons" explained Donnie "first of all Raph never goes that weak and helplessly easily almost defeated in a fight. Secondly, I ask Raph earlier today and he said he was fine and not to mention Raph did look pretty pale durring our patrol and battle"
"This is just great!" Said Leo "I not only hurt my brother! I sent him running away to who knows where and he might possibly be Sick! I really blew it this time!"
"Yeah you did" said Mikey bluntly and earned a kick in the leg from Donnie.
"Ow Donnie!" Said Mikey turning to his older brother. Ignoring the current situation between his younger brothers, Leo already made his decision on what he needs to do.
"We need to find him before something happens to him or finds himself in a fight that he'll loose." Said Leo determinedly.
"Your right Leo" said Donnie "But I think it might be best if you tell Splinter what happened, contact Casey and April to keep a look out and stay there with Splinter in case he went to the lair"
"No" said Leo immediately "It's my fault that Raph is missing and I think that I should look for him."
"I think it might be best if we go looking for him" said Donnie adamently "Look Raph is already upset enough and doesn't need you to go look for him like that. Plus his unhealthy attitude won't calm him down either and especially if you two got into an argument. You might be better help if you go back and tell sensei." Leo was going to protest, but even Mikey has an input to add.
"It might be for the best" said Mikey reassuringly.
"Ok fine" said Leo giving in "But tell Raph that I'm sorry and want to talk to him as soon as he comes home"
"Will do" said Mikey eagerly "See us!" With that the two turtles left and Leo started to head back to the lair. I just hope that he's alright thought Leo guiltilly and worridly.
Meanwhile a little farther away from the three turtles
Raph kept running and running. He couldn't believe that Leo said those things to him. Raph always looked up to him whenever something goes wrong. Sure they may get on each other nerves but that doesn't stop Raph from loving him. The day when Leo got captured by Winters and the foot clan, it was also the day that he was ready to jump off a cliff. He couldn't believe how jealous and abandoned he had been.
Soon Raph made it all the way to Central park and decided to rest for a bit. Since he ran from the bank and is already sick so it would make sense for him to take a small break. As soon as Raph stoped he felt a small pinch out of nowhere and was a little woozy until he collapsed.
It was a tranquilizer shot that might last for an hour or two.
"Perfect just where I want him" said Hun proudly and then turn to the four other purple dragons with him "put him in the truck and make sure nothing happens to him because I don't want the freak to get beaten up before I manage to do so."
