"Fine! I'll go alone I don't need your help anyway. You know Casey, I never pegged you for a chicken." Raph said with a smile knowing that if it was one thing Casey hated it was to be called a chicken. He knew this would ryal Casey up.
Casey turned towards Raphael and hit his hands with his bat. "What did you call me Raphael?
"You heard me, I said your a great big yellow bellied chicken." Ralph said as he walked towards the fire escape on the roof.

"No body and I mean no body calls me a chicken!" Casey said hitting Raph in the back of the shell with his baseball bat.

Soon Casey and Raph we brawling usually And as usual Raph was winning. "So Raph, I get the feeling your feelings for Catherine are more then just the over protective big brother. Mind telling me what's going on?"

"It's none of your business! In fact, it's no ones business but my own so but out!" Raph said pushing past Casey. Now look what you did lamebrain you distracted me and wasted precious time that I could have been out there searching for Cat."

"I thought you said her name is Catherine. What's with calling her Cat all of a sudden? Is that your nickname for your girl friend?" Casey teased.

Raphael didn't respond in the manor Casey expected. "We all have nicknames I just felt it was time Catherine was given hers. Makes her officially a part of this family that way. Now come on! We've got to get to that lab and find out what happened to Cat."

"First I have to make a quick stop" Casey replied.
"your such a big baby!" Raph replied. Does "baby need his bottle?" Raph said with a slight laugh.

"Ha ha very funny Raph" Casey replied throwing his bat at Raph in response.

"Ok, you go do whatever you need to do. I'm heading to Baxster's lab to find Cat. Oh and Casey, don't mention a word of our conversation to my brothers! I'll deny everything and then I'll kick your butt! Got it?!

"Yeah Raph I got it. I won't say a word but don't go off on your own. Wait for me.  I'll just be a minute." Casey said stopping into his apartment.

"Sure I'll wait" Raph replied crossing his fingers behind his back. As soon as Casey had disappeared into his apartment to get whatever it was he thought he needed  Raph disappeared into the darkness.

It didn't take Casey long to return from grabbing his array of sports weapons. Hay Raph he called looking around. When he didn't see him he almost swore but he had promised April that he'd watch his language. In fact, earlier that day April had bet him $50.00 plus a dinner date that he couldn't go a whole day without swearing. He really wanted that date. "Raphael I'm gonna kill you!" He muttered under his breath. Casey knew what he had to do and he wasn't looking forward too it. Calling Donnie on his turtle communicator he gave him the heads up.

"Guys! We've got a problem! I. Fact I'd say we've got a major emergency!" Donnie yelled  to his brothers.
Soon Leo, Mikey and Splinter entered the room. "What seems to be the problem my son? Splinter asked as he walked into the room.

"Yeah what's the big deal? I was just about to hit some major Z's." Mikey said streachi get his arms and yawning.
"I just got off the phone with Casey. He says Raphael disappeared on him. One minute he was there on the roof the next minute he was gone. Casey thinks he might be going to try and rescue Catherine on how own."
"He's so gonna get himself captured or worse killed" muttered Leo. "Come on guys we've got to go after him."
"Ah man!" Mikey moaned. "So much for a good nights sleep. Remind me to kick Raph's shell when we find him."
"You'll have to wait your turn on that one bro"replied Donnie nodding in Leo's direction.
