It has been almost three days since Mikey, Raph and Donnie went to search for clues...and despite finding some Donnie has to unscramble it all. Since the Foot Clan wouldn't leave clues without a couple of problems. 

"I swear if I see any of the foot clan...I'm going to kick their butts." Raph said as watched him try to fix the footage. The clues didn't show where his older brother was or what the Shredder is doing at this moment...but it was better than nothing. 

"Ditto. I wish I could've worked on this faster." Donnie said.

"And by that...you mean going countless nights without any food or sleep. Listen Don...We don't have time to waste and you collapsing on us won't make things any easier on the rest of us." Raph said.

"Sigh...I guess you're right. By the way....Who's watching Mikey?" Donnie said.

"April and Casey. They've been asking questions on whether or not we managed to find any leads on Leo's whereabouts." Raph said.

"Tell them that I'm working on it. Besides it's not like this footage is going to unscramble itself." Donnie said. 

"Sigh...Fine. I'll be back to check on you bro." Raph said as he could hear the silent answer from his brother as he left the room. He could've stayed longer, but he knew that he would  just distract his brother from his work. As he slowly walked to the Living room, he hoped that they were getting close to finding their brother. Unaware that at the same time...

Leo was laying down in his cell trying and failing to cover his body by the relentless assault from the Shredder. He could feel every kick..every punch and every slice from the him and could do nothing, but bare with it so he could be able to rest.

"You're so weak and pathetic." The Shredder said as he kicked him to his right side causing him to bite his tongue so he wouldn't scream. Screaming just made it last longer and that was the last thing that he wanted...with the only thing topping it being the "fun" that he and Shredder have together.

"No wonder your family abandoned you. You're a waste of space." The Shredder said after finishing his assault. After that...he left, but not before he dragged Leo back to the chains and left him there. A couple of seconds after..Leo let out a sigh and tried to get up from the ground. 

Every muscle was in agony, but he knew that he had to get up. Especially since it was almost time for his glass of water and stale bread to arrive. It may not be much, but it was better than nothing. Leo slowly thought back on Shredder's words and started to think that there could be some truth to them. A thought that he slowly shoved away since he knew that the Shredder was slowly breaking him down into nothing. 

"I hope the others will find me soon." He said before a foot ninja walked in and dropped his food in front of him before leaving. Leo slowly started to eat hoping that his troubles were going to end soon. But in his heart...he knew that it could take a long time for it to end. Which only filled him with dread for the near future.

Meanwhile Donnie finally managed to finish unscrambling the video and rushed to tell his brothers, father and friends... unaware that what they were about to see would only make them more desperate to find their lost brother/son/friend.
