Author's Note: Here's another chapter for you all. I had to tweek this chapter a couple of times so I hope this is good.

Chapter 3: Plans in Motion

Leo panted as he managed to rise to his feet, getting some of his strength, then he reached for his shell cell. Hesitating a bit, Leo tried to decide who to call first, but then refrained. What if they were hiding from the Foot and the sound of the cell gave away their location. Shaking his head Leo then accessed the tracking system, which Don taught them all how do to. Typing in a few buttons a mini map popped up and three dots appeared. One of them is the closes but the last two were a little bit further.

"Might as well go with the closest one," Leo spoke as he walked over to the edge of the building, the lack of energy making itself known as he moved.

Raph's head snapped to attention as he heard more footsteps, but this time they were getting louder. He was still against the dumpster hiding, and couldn't do anything else. Looking up he sighed in relief as his older brother climbed down the fire escape.

"Leo," he spoke. "Don't do that, you nearly scared the shell out of me!"

The leaf green turtle landed off balance but managed to stay on his feet. Seeing his hothead brother Leo blew a sigh of relief, "You ok?"

"Just peachy," Raph then used the dumpster as support to lift himself up. "You lose the Foot also?"

"What?" He raised an eye. "I didn't see any."

"What do you mean?" he raised an eye also.

"When I came to I was by myself, no one else was around."

"Strange," responded the emerald green turtle as he got to his feet. "Well I managed to stay hidden and they left. Shell they didn't even check this alleyway."

"That's good, I guess," Leo then brought up his shell cell and looked at the dots. "Come on we need to find Mikey and Donny."

"I'm pretty sure they're ok," Raph followed his older brother as they started walking.

"Not after a tidal wave like that, even I was winded," Leo spoke as they climbed the fire escape and took to the rooftops again.

The whole world was a blur to Mikey as he slowly regained consciousness. Body exhausted both of his blue eyes opened to a blurry world. A disoriented sound could be heard, but it didn't register at all to him. A few seconds passed as the sound became clear.

"Mikey!" he hears his name being called.

Eyes still blurry the sea green turtle felt himself being turned onto his shell and head propped up, "Come on Mikey speak to me."

"Leo?" the youngest finally spoke, eyes clearing and revealing his two older brothers.

"You're alright," Leo hugged his younger brother, relieved that he's fine.

"What happened?"

"We all got washed away by a huge wave of water," Raph responded for his younger brother. "And by the looks of it all the Foot left."

"That's good…I guess," Mikey spoke as he was helped to his feet.

"Still we have to be careful," Leo said as he settled his younger brother back on his feet. "Let's get Donny and get back home, I'm officially declaring patrol over now."

"You know, for once, I agree with you Fearless," Raph couldn't help but nod at his brother's statement.

"Whoa, trippy," Chuckled the sea green turtle. "Raphie finally is agreeing with Leo on something."

"You know what?" Raph couldn't help but grin. "For once I'm glad you're sense of humor is in tacked."

"Whoa, trippy again," Mikey eyes widen.

Leo rolled his eyes as he looked back at the screen, and the last dot. "Come on, Donny's not that far," he walked towards the direction of his brother's shell cell, followed by his younger brothers.

A few minutes passed as the three walked to their destination; going by rooftop was out of the question since they didn't have the energy for it anymore. It took a bit longer but they found themselves on the same street Don was supposedly on. They looked around but couldn't see anyone.

"I don't see him?" Mikey spoke.

"Me neither…Leo where exactly is that signal coming from?" Raph asked as he looked around the area again.

"A few more…yards…" Leo slowly spoke as he looked forward and some something on the center of the street. "No…" The leaf green turtle then ran forward, the object getting closer the more he moved. His two remaining brothers were wondering what was going on and followed, but their got their answer once they saw what Leo saw.

The blue clad turtle stopped and then fell to his knees as he was right next to the object on the ground. Donatello's shell cell laid on the cold ground, abandoned and its owner nowhere in sight. "No…" Leo softly spoke as he reached down and picked the device up.

"Bro…does this mean…" Mikey tried to say out of shock, not sure what to say.

"I don't know…his shell cell is here but he's not…I don't want to say it but…" Leo stood back up to his feet and faced his brother.

"He was taken," Raph finished for everyone.

"I don't know for sure…it maybe got washed off him and could be around the area…"

"Then we should look around," Mikey suggested.

A nod was the response, "Yes…we do that."

An unknown amount of time passed as Donatello soon started to come to. The first thing he felt as all his senses started to return was soreness. His whole body is covered in it, and a slight bit of pain radiated if he moved some. Both eyes then opened but nothing but darkness was all he could see. Panic began to set in as the purple clad turtle started to struggle a bit. It was then he realized that both of his arms were tied behind his back, and both of his feet were tied as well.

"What's going on…where am I?" He thought to himself as his struggles lessened. Calming down the memories from before resurfaced.

"You're coming with us." He remembered the one Foot ninja saying to him.

"Ok…so the Foot took me…but why?" After calming down Don figured out that his current blindness was due to something covering his eyes, maybe a blindfold or something. But the more curious thing was that he could feel some vibrations from the floor he's lying on, but couldn't hear anything. A pressure around his head answer that question, apparently the Foot had placed headphones over his ear slits. Moving his mouth he found nothing covering it, so he wasn't gagged, which is good, he thought.

"Ok they don't want me to see or maybe hear where they're taking me…So chances are I'm in a vehicle of some sorts. No idea where I'm headed or how long I was out for…" He then tested the ropes that bind his hands together, wiggling his wrists and pulling against the material. Then he tried the some on his legs. The same kind of rope must have been used and it was tightly tied around his ankles. "Nope, the rope is too strong, there's no way I can break free. And even if I could all I could do is hop."

Realizing it was hopeless Don just relaxed and waited for his ride to end. He thought about a lot of things during this time. He was scared, no doubt about that, here he was alone and a captive of the Foot inside a van headed to god knows where. There's no escape since the rope held him tightly and secure. If only he and his brother didn't get separated then chance are this wouldn't have happened. Heck he was too weak to put up a good fight anyway.

An unknown amount of time passed, not being able to see or hear made time go by slower. Because of this he was left to his own thoughts. Soon the vibrations he felt stopped, leaving the purple clad turtle alone with nothing for a minute or two. He then jumped when two pairs of hand grabbed at him. Out of reflex Don then started to struggle against his captors, shaking his body around the best he could. He would have said 'let me go' but that wouldn't have done anything at all. Out of nowhere a hard blow collided against his plastron, knocking the air out of him and ending his struggle.

After his struggles stopped Don felt himself being dragged somewhere. After recovering he then started to use his other senses to find any indication of where he was. There was a breeze, so he was outside somewhere. There wasn't any warmth or anything so chances are it must still be dark outside since there's no warmth coming from the sun. Both of his feet were being dragged across a rough ground, but could feel little specks of dust, so there must be a dirt road. He didn't manage to find anything else out as it felt like he crossed a threshold and the ground changed from rough to cold and smooth.

"Ok…I think I've entered a building…but where?" A couple of minutes passed before he could feel that he and his captors stopped. A few seconds passed before he was laughed forward and crashed into the hard surface. Groaning a bit he then started to struggle again, but felt a strong kick to his plastron, ending his struggles again. Hands then grabbed at his bound hands as it felt like the rope was being pulled at. A few seconds passed before he felt the rope loosening and falling. Realizing this may be his chance Don snapped his hands to grab at whoever had him but was rewarded by another blow to the plastron, followed by an electric shock.

This caused a shout of pain from the purple clad turtle and a brief pause in his movements. This was all that was needed for his captures to grab and pin his arms down. Recovering Don then struggled again, but found that they had a good hold on him. His struggles ended when he felt cold metal enclosing around both of his wrists. While that was happening his feet were untied and the same feeling of cold metal slipped around them.

His arms and feet were freed, but Don remained motionless for a few seconds, not sure what do to. When nothing happened; Donny then slowly reached up to his head. Once he realized no one tried stopping him he removed the blindfold that was around his eyes. His vision cleared as he registered a grey room, a small room in fact. Reaching up Don indeed found a pair of headphone on his head. While taking them off he looked around the room he was in.

The room was small, maybe ten by twenty feet, the only want into the room was the large door in front of him, which was closed and most likely locked. There wasn't a window; the only source of light came from the ceiling. There was nothing in it, not even a bed or anything that resembled one. Looking down he saw that both wrists and ankles were locked into shackles that were connected to thick chains about five feet long and were welded to the wall behind him. The chains were very thick, impossible for him to break them.

"Ok…I'm obviously trapped and there's no way to escape," he spoke to himself, both eyes on the chains that held him. "But why did they leave me alone? And also what could they want with me?" Donatello then tilted his head back as a sigh was let out. All he could do right now was sit back and wait.

Back in the city Leo, Raph and Mikey walked through the sewers in silence. None of them knew what to do or even say. They searched the area where the Shell Cell was found and even further on. They had been at it for hours. Even though they didn't find their brother they kept at it not wanting him being taken to be true. It was passed midnight when they regretfully decided to head back to the lair. They were all exhausted and even if they didn't want to admit it they felt like they were going to drop from the lack of energy. The truth then hit them; the Foot had kidnapped their brother.

They weren't sure what they were going to do, heck they were afraid of what they were going to tell Master Splinter. Their father of course would be worried, but after that then what? They walked for a few minutes before they reached their home. Entering the code on the hidden keypad they gained access and walked back into their home. It was dark when they entered, but when they walked in a few feet a clap echoed and the lights came on. A few feet away from them Master Splinter stood, he had a parental look of 'where have you been' on his face but it fell when he saw only three of his sons. The three turtles saw the look on their sensei's face and couldn't help but look at the ground.

"My sons…where is Donatello?"

That's the one question the three knew he was going to ask first, but yet after all the time they spent thinking about it on the walk home they still hadn't thought of a response. The three teens looked at one another but Leo ended up being the one to deliver the news.

"Mas-…" he started to say but then changed his words, "Father." Splinter's eyes widen at the word his eldest son spoke. Whenever Leonardo would address him as such when news was being delivered he knew it was bad. "Don was...taken by the Foot."

Both of the rat's eyes widen as his mouth dropped at the sudden news. "H…how did this happen?"

Raph then took over from there, "We were patrolling like usual but then a large number of Foot surrounded us, a much larger force then usual. We fought back for as long as we could but a couple of them hacked away at a water tower and washed us away from one another."

Mikey then finished, "Leo tracked Raph and I but when we looked for Don his we found his shell cell on the ground. We searched the whole area and beyond but we didn't find him. We then determined that the Foot have him."

Dread began to fill Splinter as he heard his sons tale, knowing that his enemy has his son and could be don't who knows what to him. Both ears flatten as both eyes closed, trying to suppress a tear.

"Master?" Leo spoke.

"Are you sure the Foot have him?"

"Yes, after we were washed away none came after me," Leo responded.

"I heard them searching but they soon left while I was hiding," Raph spoke next.

"It was weird for me," Mikey then explained. "I was totally out of it and open for an attack. The Foot were approaching me but stopped and then turned and ran off."

"Really?" Leo questioned, not sure what he heard.

He nodded, "Yeah, it was like they were ignoring me once they saw it was me."

"But why would they do that, not to be mean, but they had a perfect opportunity to take you out easily," Raph said.

"It is as I feared," Splinter then spoke, catching his sons attention. "It appears that the Foot targeted one of you specifically."

The statement their master said made the three brothers realize that this was true. For the fact that Leo was alone, the Foot didn't look in the alleyway which Raph was in, or didn't take the chance to finish Mikey off when they had the chance. It all started to make sense right then and there.

"They were only after Donny," Leo spoke in shock, both his brothers raising their eyes at that, Splinter giving a nod.

"B-But…why would they want Donny?" Mikey asked.

"I don't know, but we have to save him," Leo responded, recomposing his leadership demeanor. "We're going to have to break back into the Foot headquarters to get him."

"Problem there Fearless," Raph interrupted, frown on his face. "Donny is the only one who can get passed their security, and as far as I can see none of us has the intellect that he has."

"Haven't thought that far yet, but I'm working on it. But we have to do it fast, who knows what's happen to Don right now."

Don's head perked as he as a heavy click sounded and the door to his cell opened. Rising to his feet both eyes widen as someone walked in, followed by two Foot ninjas. "Shredder," Don Spoke in a low voice as both eyes narrowed into a glare.

Shredder or Oroku Saki right now since he was out of armor, walked into the room, showing a face devoid of emotion. Stopping in the center of the cell, he looked at his captive in silence. Donny just glared, wishing he could do something right now. But since he's weaponless and chained up there's no way he can fight without getting a severe beating. All he could do is just stand there and find out what it is he wanted.

Turning his head Oroku Saki motioned for the two Foot ninjas to leave. Not questioning the order the two turned and left the room, door closing once they were out. Once the two were alone a smile crept onto Shredders face, "I hope my ninjas weren't too rough on you."

Donny's teeth clenched as he heard the words, a growl threatening to escape him but the olive green turtle refused to say a word, or make a sound.

"Not in a talking mood? That's fine, it'll be a lot more easier if you listen." Both of his hands then clasp together behind his back as both of his eyes stayed on the turtle. "Donatello is you're name, correct?"

Once again the purple clad turtle refused to say anything, even though he wanted to know why he was here.

"I'll take that as a yes," he nodded, then resumed. "You know it's a real shame when you put your trust into people you know that can be trusted. The moment you let them get their hands on your most secret equipment they go and turn on you."

Don wondered what Shredder is talking about; this is so off topic from what's happening right now. He decided to listen more, even though it was confusing.

"They end up making copies of blueprints, downloading files, or trying to sabotage equipment, all so their real employers can steal all the hard work that one spent so much time manufacturing." Oroku Saki then paced left to right, still talking. "It's such a shame that once we find that one kind of person that they end up…disappearing the next day."

Donny's eyes widen as he heard that, apparently Shredder put a lot of emphasis on "disappearing". Whatever he was talking about it must have had to do with the business front he has. He could no longer keep silent; he wanted to know why only he was taken. "Why am I here?" he asked in an irritated voice.

"Finally found your voice?" he smiled. "And straight to the point I see."

"Just answer my question."

Shredder chuckled on the inside, usually if any one of his captives demanded something like Donatello did then they wouldn't be standing and barely breathing in a few seconds. But right now he needed the turtle healthy. "It's getting harder to trust people these days, a lot of my employees aren't what they are supposed to be. The moment trust is given to them they turn and stab me in the back."

Don's head thought over what he was being told, now the words from earlier started to make a little sense. From what he could tell is that some of his employees were betraying him by stealing information. And they were found out Shredder had his men dispose of them in some sort of way. Still even if that's the case why have him here and telling him all this? "That still doesn't answer my question."

Oroku couldn't help but shake his head; he decided to get to the point since the turtle couldn't wait. "I want to make you an offer."

"No," Donatello sharply responded, full well knowing that whatever there was to offer it wouldn't be good.

"But you didn't hear the details," he stopped and turned to face Don, faking a hurt look.

"Doesn't matter, nothing good can come from you," the purple clad turtle sneered.

"Well since you don't want to hear, you can just walk out if you want," Oroku moved to the side and pointed his hand at the door.

A growl escaped the olive green turtle; he knew that Shredder was mocking him. There's no way he could get halfway across the room with the chains on him. He knew that his enemy was enjoying this.

Oroku smiled as he blocked the door way again, "Guess you want to hear then, Very well. You are an inventor aren't you?" No response was made. "I'll take that as a yes. Tell me how do you like the conditions you work in?"

"It's still no," Donny responded, starting to figure out where this was going.

"But how would you feel if you would work in a place that has the latest high tech equipment today?"

Don opened his mouth to say no again, but nothing came out. A piece of curiosity crept up and prevented him from saying no again.

Oroku grinned as he saw the small hesitation on the turtle's face, knowing he caught his interest. "Think about it, you're in a workplace where you can work and complete various projects that you could only dream about. You can do them for your own benefit, or something that would help people, anything you want."

Donatello couldn't believe what he's hearing right now. His curiosity was really was caught and yet he wanted to hear more. Still he held his tongue, not wanting to show verbally he was curious.

By the way he wasn't responding and the look on his face Oroku knew he had the turtle's attention. "Think about all those you would be helping, and all the gratitude you would receive for your work."

Don flinched at "gratitude", that was a sore subject when it came to his inventing. There were a lot of times when his brothers asked him to fix and build something for their own benefit and in the end there wasn't a thank you from them. Hearing that every now and then would hurt and it would make him feel good. But still he was happy for all he did for his family, even if they didn't show it every now and then.

"All I ask of you is for your assistance. Agree and everything I talked about will be provided to you for your own ambitions, you will have all control over what is done with any of the inventions you make."

Now Don was stunned, this was something that he would have not expected to be offered. His enemy was actually offering him something he longed for. Being able to work on things that he could only imagine of, with tools that would be new and not used like the ones he acquired. All the things he could do with those resources left him speechless. "Why is he doing this?" he thought. "There has to be an arterial motive behind this. There's no way he could just offer something like this without getting something in return. Either way nothing good came come from this."

"Well, what is your answer, or do you need to think about it?" he asked, knowing the turtle was already hooked and needed to be reeled in.

"It's still no. Even if it's something I'd be crazy to refuse, something like that coming from you is never good," Donny responded, both eyes narrowed as he spoke.

Oroku had expected that answer, of course it would be the first thing he said. Now he just needed to move on to the next part of the plan. "It's sad to hear that. Sadly I must take my leave, but remember this offer is still available if you happen to change your mind." With that he turned and headed for the door. Knocking on the metal it opened and he walked out.

Don sighed as he rested his shell against the wall and slid to the floor. "Why?" he spoke, wanting to know what the Shredder was up to? Why give him a once in a lifetime offer, and what are his plans for it? But yet a new concern was why did he leave the offer open? Something was going to happen and it wasn't good.

Out in the hall Shredder walked down the hall that would lead outside, his two Foot ninja following. "What do you want us to do now sir?" the one to the left asked.

"We will make it look like we're trying to force him to accept the offer, so you will torture him for the next couple of days."

"How intense do you want us to do?" the one on the right asked.

"Nothing too intense, we can't risk any chance in killing him. I'll be watching through the cameras and monitoring your progress. Once I think enough time has passed them we'll move on to the next phase of the plan."

"And what may that be, if you don't mind me asking?"

Their master stopped just as they reached a door that lead outside. Smiling he turned to the two. "Once we finish we moved on to the next part: Destroying Donatello's identity."

A/N: Hope you like, I'm working on the next chapter and hope it's good. Hopefully you get will get what i'm going to do? If not you're going to be surprised in the next couple of chapters. Please leave a review and I'll see you again soon.
