The arrival of the future turtles is only a few hours away, but nobody's getting any sleep. Late at night, the blues take over, and Donnie, Leo, Casey and Raph all need hugs.
Raph’s feet barely grazed the ground. He soared over the Chinatown rooftops, Casey’s GPS signal blinking ominously on his phone screen.
Reaching the corner in record time, he screeched to a halt to look down at the street below…
Casey’s bike lay abandoned on the sidewalk across the street.
Cold dread flooded his gut as he lunged onto the pavement below, and barely avoided being spotted by a couple of kids. Quickly retreating into the shadow of the fire escape, he waited for them to pass, eyes trained on Casey’s bike. The brats seemed to move in slow motion, yammering on about their stupid basketball game.
Finally, one pizza delivery scooter and a shop owner dumping dirty water down the sewer grate later, he jumped down and made a run across the street for the alley ahead.
The bike’s front wheel was bent, a few spurs sticking out like whiskers on a cat. The tracker still beeping mutedly, Raph skirted around it, twirling to and fro.
Not caring anymore that he was probably drawing attention, he frantically looked behind the dumpster and inside trash cans, his own pulse deafening. He acted all tough in front of his brothers, but unlike them, deep inside he was terrified every time that freaking alarm went off.
One of those times could be for real. This one could be for real.
So far all the evidence seemed to suggest it was. Wouldn’t be the first time Casey went off on his own, playing lone wolf, the dumbass. After the other night at the warehouse, his grudge against Hun would’ve only gotten worse. If he’d seen something, he was stupid enough to go at it alone. Swivelling around on the spot, helpless, Raph grew more and more convinced that that was what happened, and decided to call for back-up.
His finger froze over the call button and he stared at the pair of Converse he’d just spotted behind a nook in the wall. (…)
