Authors Note: Sorry this took so long. My concentration has been completely shot. Also Microsoft word has been acting odd. Mostly it's been highlighting things that I try to spell check and at one point refused to allow me to backspace. It's probably my computer since it's getting old, but I don't have the money for a new one. I hope you guys enjoy this and I'm sorry for the wait.

Mikey and Leatherhead waited all day for someone to show up, but no one did. They each had to use the bucket once which was miserable. They didn't talk at all. They just held each other and waited. Mikey was sure that this was the only time in his life he'd ever been so quiet. Just because they weren't speaking didn't mean they weren't thinking though. Mikey kept trying to come up with a plan to get them out of here, but he knew it was pointless. He had nothing to pick a lock with and there was no way he was breaking the thick iron bars.

He began thinking of Bishop and when he was going to come. What was he going to do to them? Did he still see Leatherhead as a mutant and if he did how did he see Mikey? He wanted to ask Leatherhead about his time with Bishop, but he could tell just how scared his boyfriend was. He didn't want him to dig up old and painful memories. The only thing useful would be how Leatherhead got away from Bishop in the first place, but that wasn't any help. He thought of praying, but he didn't really believe in that stuff. Praying wasn't going to get them away from a mad man who planned to do who knows what to them.

About three hours after the sun fully set there was a loud squeaking noise as doors somewhere in the warehouse opened and the lights came on. Mikey blinked as he was nearly blinded. He heard foots steps and they got closer. Soon he saw a man walking towards them. He was African American with curly black hair and large glasses. Mikey thought he looked familiar, but he wasn't Bishop. Mikey got the feeling that this wasn't someone who was going to help them. He moved towards the cage. He had a long pole in his hand that Mikey realized was a cattle prod. Before Mikey or Leatherhead could do anything Mikey was poked with the pole and he cried out in pain before the world went black.

When Mikey woke up he was tied to a chair. As he came to he noticed someone was in the room. He looked up and froze as he saw John Bishop standing in front of him looking like he just walked of the set of Men in Black. Mikey swallowed the lump in his throat as he realized just how much trouble he and Leatherhead were in.

Mikey tried to get an idea of what Bishop was going to do, but his face was blank and his eyes covered by sunglasses. "Please, let us go," he begged.

Bishop frowned. "Now why would I do that? You are the key to the mutant alligator, and he is the key to the Kraang."

Mikey looked at Bishop in disbelief. How had this guy managed to convince anyone he was sane? "Were not mutants, were teenagers. Normal human teenagers."

Bishop scoffed. "You are definitely not human and you're as far from normal as anything can get."

Mikey realized that there was no way he was going to convince Bishop he was human. He needed a new plan and quick.

Bishop moved towards Mikey and the teen flinched. Bishop smirked and pulled out a knife. "Now tell me what you know about the Kraang and I won't have to hurt you."

Mikey's eyes widened and his best option was to play along. If he and Leatherhead could just stall long enough for someone to find them they'd be okay. "The Kraang want to take over the earth. We don't know why, but there determined to do it anyway they can." Mikey then thought of something. "They're the ones who caused me to mutate."

Bishop was listening and he seemed to believe what Mikey was saying. "What kind of weapons do they have?"

"Oh…. Um…. laser guns mostly, but sometimes they use these weird monsters as well."

"Tell me more about these monsters?"

They don't have bodies so they sit inside of robots and sometimes they place themselves in these blue apes that shoot guns hidden in their butts. They also have these huge rock monster kinds of things that are almost impossible to beat."

Bishop nodded and he continued to ask Mikey questions for hours. When he was done he had the same African American come in and before Mikey could blink he'd grabbed his arm and was injecting something into him. The room spun and Mikey passed out. When he woke up he was back in the care with Leatherhead.

Leatherhead was relived he was awake and Mikey quickly filled him in about everything he told Bishop. If they decided to talk to him Mikey didn't want the elder teen to say something that would seem like they were lying to Bishop even though they were. Leatherhead handed Mikey a bottle of water and an energy bar which he said had been in the cage after he woke up from being shocked. The two ate in silence trying to think of how much longer they were going to be here.

The next day the boys had a quick breakfast before going to school. They were surprised when they saw news vans outside their apartment. Apparently news of Mikey and Leatherheads kidnapping had gotten out. They were shouting a bunch of questions so fast and loudly that it ended up just being noise. They were considering going back inside when Master Splinter appeared.

"We will be giving no comments at this time. You'll have to wait for the press conference tonight. I will say that we are working with the police to find my son and Luke." He then helped his sons make it through the crowds. "I'm sorry boys. I didn't know they would be here. I want you to do your best to go one with your day like normal. I know this is hard, but we must stay strong. That means no matter what is said, shouted or asked you either say no comment or you walk away. Is that understood?" Splinter was looking at the all, but his eyes flicked to Raph who sighed, but nodded. Walking away from a conflict wasn't his strong suit, but he would do his best.

The boys made it to school without any further incident and went about the first half of the day like normal.

Leo was sitting in his history class though he wasn't paying much attention. He looked over and saw Raph wasn't doing much better. He checked the clock for the fiftieth time, but it hadn't moved an inch. Just when he thought of making an excuse to get out of this class the door opened. It was the school counselor Mrs. Smith. "I need to see the Hamoto boys," she said. Leo and Raph shared a look before standing up. "You should bring your things with you," she added and the boys grabbed their backpacks and left. They saw Donnie in the hallway with his stuff as well. She led them quietly to her office where a policeman was. "Boys this is Detective Eastman he has a few questions for you." She gestured for them to sit and they did.

"Boys I just want to ask some questions and then you can go back to class. You boys are adopted correct?"

Leo and his brothers looked at each other before all nodding.

"How do you boys get along?"

"Fine," Leo said. "We fight sometimes and bicker, but we've always considered each other brothers despite not sharing DNA." "Can you each in your own words describe how you and Michelangelo got along?"

Leo went first. "I'm technically the oldest so I take the job of older brother very seriously though when it comes to Mikey we all do." Raph and Donnie nodded in agreement. "I'm kind of a second parent to Mikey. When Master Splinter isn't around I'm in charge."

"Master Splinter?" The detective asked.

"Our father," Leo said. "It's his old fighting nickname and it's kind of stuck."

Raph spoke next. "Me and Mikey…. he's my younger brother and I tend to be on the end of his pranks. It doesn't matter if it's water balloons, fake bugs, or just being annoying because he's bored I'm often on the receiving end of it. That's fine though. I do my best to look out for him and he does his best to be a typical little brother."

Detective Eastman turned to Donnie. "Mikey and I are closest in age so we get along pretty well. Sometimes he can be annoying when I'm working on a project, but for the most part were fine. I'm kind of the go to guy when it comes to homework so I'm always helping Mikey whenever he needs it. Since he started being tutored by Leatherhead he doesn't need as much help, but I'm always there when he does need it."

Detective Eastman wrote something down. "How did you boys get along with Luke?"

"We liked him," Leo said. Mikey was the one who introduced him and he fit right in. He calms Mikey in a way I don't think any of us have ever seen. Their so happy together too and if Mikey's happy were all happy."

Detective Eastman nodded. "How did Mikey get along with your father?"

"Why do you need to know that?" Raph asked and Leo was sure he now understood why they were here.

"You can't honestly tell us you think he or the Heinz for that matter had anything to do with Mikey and Leatherhead disappearing? Our little brother and friend are missing and instead of looking for the bastard who took them you're wasting time by investigating the people who would never hurt him."

By the end Raph was on his feet and almost shouting. Donnie put a hand on his shoulder.

"Raph calm down this is all procedure. When someone goes missing the people closest to them get looked at. It's just to cover all the bases. No one is accusing father or the Heinz of any wrong doing." Raph glared at Detective Eastman and the man nodded. "He's right Raphael. This is all part of the process of how things work. We want to find Michelangelo and Luke just as much as you do, but we have to make sure that were not overlooking any family disputes. You'd be surprised how many time the person behind someone's disappearance is the one closest to them. So please the sooner we get the done the father we can use are resources elsewhere." Raph continued to frown, but sat down. He took a deep breath and let it out before speaking again.

"Mikey and Master Splinter got along fine. He loved Mikey just as much as he loved us. Master Splinter likes to work with us one on one with our issues. Leo tends to obsess over his role as a leader, I'm a hothead and Donnie sometimes over thinks things. Other than trouble with school or not taking something seriously he doesn't need to work with Mikey a lot."

"He and Splinter have been working more on his training, but Mikey's pretty self sufficient when it comes to dealing with his issues. Mikey's the baby of the family and we sometimes treat him with softer gloves than we need to. Master Splinters guilty of it too, but less so than the rest of us. He believes in Mikey and is always there for him or any of us. I think the only time Master Splinter really worried about the path Mikey chose to fallow was when he started hanging out with Chris Bradford. Mikey became friends with him and he wasn't the best influence. Long story short the friendship ended after Mikey got in trouble with the law from underage drinking and ended up with a broken arm. Splinter and Mikey had a privet talk which afterwards Mikey got back on a good path and everything was fine."

Detective Eastman frowned. "Tell me more about this Chris Bradford."

Leo spoke this time. "In Junior high Mikey thought he was really cool and was desperate to be his friend. Chris let him tag along with his crowd, but I guess they were just stringing him along. Seeing just what he would and wouldn't do to stay friends with Chris. After the party in which Mikey was arrested for underage drinking he cut off ties with Chris. As far as we know this was his own choice and not simply because Splinter wanted him to. Chris didn't take the rejection well and ever since he's done anything he can to spread rumors about Mikey or simply be a jerk to him."

Donnie spoke up quickly. "I don't think he's a suspect. Chris is a jerk and while he's not the brightest bulb he knows messing with Mikey means messing with us. He's a typical teenage bully and I don't think he'd go as far as to seriously hurt Mikey or Leatherhead."

Detective Eastman nodded. "Can you tell me how Mikey got along with the Heinz?"

"He didn't really know them until Leatherhead invited him over for dinner. Elma was having a hard time accepting Leatherhead for being gay, but after they had Mikey over things got a lot better. She really began to accept their relationship and they've become a part of our family just like April and Casey's families," said Leo.

"It wasn't all that surprising since it's hard to hate Mikey. He can be annoying and he sometimes speaks without thinking, but he's really hard to hate" Raph added.

"One more thing and then you can go. Does your father have any who he might not be on good terms with? Former students, old rivals, anything like that?"

The brothers looked each other again before Leo said anything. "Well there's Oroku Saki. He and Splinter use to be close, but something happened and now they're not on good terms. It's the other reason why Chris targets Mikey. He's Oroku Saki's top student. We kind of just have a natural rivalry with his dojo. Still I can't think of why he would want to kidnap Mikey and Leatherhead. He seems to have more of an issue with Splinter than with us." Leo explained.

Detective Eastman looked over what he'd written and nodded. "Okay boys I believe that's enough. Thank you for talking to me."

The brothers nodded and got up shaking Eastman's had before leaving. The rest of the day went by like normal. Apparently April and Casey had also been questioned by Detective Eastman. The teens talked about what they had said and all of them had made it clear that Mikey and Leatherhead's families were the last people who would want to hurt them.

After school the boys went to the dojo rather than home. Surprisingly no reporters were there. The press conference would be taking place at the park where Leatherhead and Mikey had been last. Splinter had them all meditate to try and relax. It surprisingly helped a little to relive the stress and worry they were feeling.

They met with the Heinz's halfway to the park and when they got there they say a large group of news crews.

Master Splinter was the first to speak. "Thank you all for coming here. I would like to say that right now we are working with the police to find Michelangelo and Luke. I ask if anyone thinks they know something that they please contact the police. All we want to do if have our sons brought to us will do whatever is necessary to bring our sons home."

Mr. Heinz spoke next. "As Yoshi has stated we want out sons home. We are offering a reward to anyone who has info on where our sons may be. With each passing day we worry more and more. We just want Michelangelo and Luke back home with us."

Mr. Heinz let out a breath he'd been holding. "We will now take questions."

"Mr. Heinz your son was kidnapped several years prior do you think the same man who kidnapped him could be behind the disappearance of the boys?"

Mr. Heinz sighed. "As of now the police have no evidence that the man who took my son is involved with the recent disappearance of him and Mikey."

Another reporter spoke "Do you think the two boys ran away?"

Mrs. Heinz was the one to speak this time. "No. The boys had no reason to run away. They are good kids doing well in school and their hobbies. Everything was fine and we have found no evidence that they ran away. None of us have had any large amounts of money missing and all of their most precious items are still at home."

"Do you boys have anything to say?" Asked a reporter to Raph, Leo and Donnie.

Leo spoke up. "We want our brother and friend back home. We want them to be returned safely. We're scared of what might have happened to them and that they might be hurt."

A few more questions were asked and the press conference seemed to end as fast as it started. Reporters were wrapping up and people were leaving. The Hamoto's and Heniz headed home and hoped they had helped rather than hindered finding Mikey and Leatherhead.

Dinner was quiet and homework was done quickly. Donnie slept in Raph and Leo's room. Donnie wasn't one for religion, but he prayed that Mikey and Leatherhead were safe. None of the brothers fell asleep fast or easy, but the room was completely silent.
