He ran over the rooftops as fast as his legs would carry him swerving here and there to avoid the random blazes in his path, he mentally noted that several of them were known purple dragon locals. He could hear rescue sirens echoing between the buildings bellow as went he was suddenly glad his home was in the sewer and out of harms way. He jumped on to the nearest fire escape and made his way down to the alley bellow quickly and quietly slipping into a manhole and out of the chaos.
The cool are in the sewer was a blessing for this throat which had become sore and dry from all the running and smoke, it felt much easier to breath. Spurred on by the refreshing change of air he quickly sprinted the rest of the way to lair.
He burst through the kitchen door “Master Splinter, Master Splinter” Don looked up from his latest project “Leo what happened?” He paused, confused for a second before remembering he was covered in smoky grime and bleeding a little. “Turn on the TV” he ordered ignoring Dons concern there were more important things right now, the black box blinked to life seconds later.
The rest of the lairs occupants began to filter into the living room as the reporter on the screen was updating the condition of the city, it was bad there were dozens of fires spread out through out the city some caused by explosions other by seemingly nothing at all, all of which had sprung to life within seconds of each other all at the same time Karai fell.
Karai he’d forgotten about her, again. Everyone was in the room now Don was scrawling down info on a piece of scrap paper listening intently to the reporter on the TV, Raph on the other hand was more interested in the eye witness account.
“You gonna tell us what happened?” He questioned in his usual gruff tone “Or are ya gonna just stand there bleedin on the carpet” He could just choke his brother sometimes, was it completely beyond him to ask a question without sarcasm? Despite the sarcasm he launched into his story starting with the strange man pushing Karai off the building and ending Saki’s tower billowing off clouds of smoke as it burned.
“I don’t get it” Donnie stated his attention finally turned from the TV “None of these places have anything in common “He said passing Leo a scrawled list of all the fires “Except…” “The Shredder” Leo finished for him all the places on the list were either legit holdings of Oroku Saki’s, Foot dojos, Dragon hang outs, and a few small labs. It was enough damage to ruin the Shredder they should have been dancing in the streets but something about this felt wrong.
“What I really wanna know ....” Mikey started pulling Leo from his thoughts grinning madly from ear to ear”Is what you were doing playing peeping turtle?” He finished with a mischievous look on his face. “ Good point” Raph added with a smug grin also turning his attention toward his brother, Leo could feel a slight blush creeping into his face he was gonna have to get Mikey for this later.
“I have no idea what you mean” He said trying to look and sound as serious and innocent as possible , even to his own ears he was failing miserably. “ I believe he wants to know why you decided out of the blue to just follow the Shredders hot little apprentice around the city” Raph replied his grin widening “Leo’s in luuuuve” Mikey added, resting his face in his hands sighing and making google eyes.
“Um guys” Don called from the far corner of the living room “ I think you need to take a look at this” He continued pointing to a large map of New York city that he kept tacked to the wall. Leo seized the opportunity to change the subject and headed for Don “What is it?” he asked. “Well all these tacks hear in blue represent Saki’s holding , well at least the ones that we know of “ Don said gesturing to the map “And these are the places attacked tonight” He continued circling tacks with a red marker.
“Well tha’s real pretty and all Donnie but I don’t think this is the right time for arts and crafts” Raph added joining them, Mikey on his heels still making google eyes and giggling like a girl while waving at Leo who turned quickly back to the map. “It’s not art Raph, well not really unless you’re really twisted” Don stated as he started to draw thick red line on the map to connect each circled tack. The lines formed a symbol 死 which was now burning into the city above them. “ I think its Japanese” Don continued “But I’m not sure what it means” Leo’s Japanese wasn’t very good , Master Splinter had tried to teach him a little but only spoken word he had no idea how to read the symbol.
“It is a bad omen my son” The brothers turned to see that there Master had finally joined them “Can you read it Sensi” Leo questioned in a polite tone, when it came to his father it was the only one he had. “Hai …. It is death” It was another moment in which Leo should have been dancing in circles, some one had either already taken care of Saki or was going to and yet the same sense of foreboding filled him.
“So somebody’s gonna whack the Shredder” Raph asked in an astonished but slightly amused tone “Damn an I don’t even get help” Apparently Raph didn’t share Leo’s uneasiness. “No more Shredder “Mikey said finally losing his giggling tone “Were gonna have to send a thank you card” Raph chuckled in agreement but was quickly silenced by the serious voice of his master.
“It would not be wise my son to so quickly count this as a blessing” He stated “But Master Splinter this is a good thing, no more Shredder means no more foot and no more foot means we stop getting chased from our lair and beat up and….” Mikey had now set into listing off every offence the foot had ever made against them. Don remained silent through the whole exchange reserving judgment for a more educated guess.
Raph and Mike continued to there mini celebration ignoring Splinters words and heading off to the kitchen, Splinter retreated off to his room to meditate on the problem. Meditation didn’t sound like a half bad idea, he said goodbye to his remaining brother and headed towards the dojo, while all of them remained completely unaware that they were being watched.
