As Kate stumbled to run as fast as she could, Sara was dying in her arms. With Nolla along side her, Kate remembered her warehouse. The warehouse she and her brother, and best friend with that, Fred was a happy-go-lucky, goof off, Who with that, was studying to be a doctor. Though sadly, he never made it.

"Set her down nice and easy right here. Be careful with her head! " Fred ordered his sister. "Please tell me everything that happened just so I make sure I'm doing the right things."
He asked. "I already told you!" Kate whined. "It was an average day at the zoo, when all of a sudden there was a Foot Clan attack. And Sara was shot in her left foot." Fred sighed. "So, what happened to her mother?" He asked, as he scribbled stuff down, on his clipboard. "She was swept up by the crowd, All I could do was grab Nolla, and carry Sara here, to safety." Fred nodded a bit. "Okay, one more question, why exactly did you bring the snake?" He asked. "The reason I saved Nolla, is because, I need her, she's special. " Kate replied as she looked at Nolla, who was chasing a rat for lunch. "Alright, if you say so." Fred answered.

~•~ In Shredder's lair, along with Tigerclaw. ~•~

"Master Shredder," Tigerclaw said with a raspy voice. "The Foot have attacked the Manhattan zoo, with bad results." Tigerclaw looked up and made eye contact with Shredder only to find pain and hatred, so he looked down. "We have failed to capture the snake, nor the girl. One of the FootBots reported that she was shot in the ankle, so not all hope is lost with her." Tigerclaw added. "What about her mother?" Asked Shredder. "We have successfully captured the girl's mother. She waits in Stockman's lab, a waiting the fate you choose for her." Tigerclaw replied. "She is to be brainwashed of her arrival and nothing else, yet. She is to stay here until she is of use of us. The girl must have some attachment to her, so her mother may work as bait in the future." Shredder said. "But Master Shredder," Tigerclaw started. "The girl nor the snake have shown any proof of interaction with the turtles, their allies, or Yoshi. What if this is a mistake?" The Shredder thought for a moment then said, "You dare question me? I have never misled you or this clan before and will not be questioned of it. And before you question me of how, question how they have not. A nine year old doesn't just simply have the power and sense to go to the lengths Sara Heduns has. And every unusual act She has shown has led to that snake. Even the zoo keeper. And now suddenly the child and reptile mysteriously survive a ninja attack along with the zoo keeper in question, do you think this is a joke?" Shredder asked harshly. Tigerclaw was stunned by the reply of his master and could only get out a simple, "No, Master Shredder." The Shredder was quiet for a moment, lost in his thoughts. Until he finally replied, "Consider this meeting before questioning my orders again."
