Chapter 4- You're Not...
[Callie's POV]
"So Keira, where are you from?" I ask as we walk out of the coffee shop.
"Actually, I'm from Vermont, but I'm staying here with my mother for the Summer. How about you?" She asks in return. I have to think of a place quick. I can't tell her I'm from another planet... That would be bazaar to hear. And I can't tell her where I'm staying, that wouldn't be good, and those guys would probably get mad at me.
"Oh, same! Well, I'm from a different town, staying here for the... Summer." I smile and hope she buys it.
"Alright, well I have somewhere I need to be, but here's my number, let's hang out some time!" She smiles and hands me a piece of paper. When she runs off I stare at the little numbers on it.
What does she mean, "Phone"? I look around and find a bench. I walk over and take my place on the wooden seat.
[Leo's POV]
"She could have a tracker set up by Shredder for all we know!" Raph grumbles.
"I agree. I think we should take precautions and maybe ask her a few questions, for the least." Donnie nods and glances at Raph.
"C'mon dudes! Do you really think an innocent girl would work with Shredder?!" Mikey inputs.
"Well, what about Karai, she's an innocent girl who works with Shredder." I say.
"Oh, come on! Her father is Shredder, it's not like she even has a choice." Raph rolls his eyes.
The room goes silent. "Oh, uh, sorry Master Splinter." He then apologizes.
"It is fine Raphael, but perhaps choose a better choice of words, next time." Splinter replies in his usual calm voice.
"Guys... I bet she left this morning to go tell Shredder where we're located." Donnie says, realization in his voice.
"You have no proof, bro." Mikey crosses his arms.
"I have to agree with Mikey on that one. We don't have any evidence to prove she's even working with Shredder." I acknowledge his comment.
"Yeah, but did it not seem slightly weird that a girl who claims to be from another planet just so happened to be there when we were on patrol?" Raph questions.
"That does seem quite a bit fishy." Donnie agrees. I look left and right at each of my brothers. Is it possible she actually is bad? Definitely. But she doesn't seem bad.
"Let's just all agree to interrogate her when she gets back." I say. Everyone nods in agreement... except for Mikey.
"This is totally not fair! Plus, we don't even know when she'll get back!" Mikey exclaims in annoyance.
"That is true, we can't go out there in broad daylight, either. We'll just have to wait." Donnie stands up from the table and leaves to go do something in his lab as usual. Raph leaves to go to his room, probably angry as well. Mikey sits there in his chair pouting.
"Come on, Mikey. It's a fifty-fifty chance that she'll turn out being good." I try to cheer my little brother up. He sighs.
"But Leo, I know she's good! She has to be! You're the one that took her home, you must believe it, too!" Mikey whines.
"Well I couldn't leave her out there, that would just be cruel. Working with the Shredder or not. That doesn't mean I trust her." I deny.
"Ugh, you too! Fine! I'll go find her myself and ask her!" He stomps away.
"Mikey, you don't even know where she is! We can't go out there! Stop overreacting!" I say, trying to follow him. He hops on his skateboard and rides away. I sigh.
Be careful.
[Mikey's POV]
I can't believe my own brothers would do that! She's just a normal girl... From another planet... But that's sorta like April! And we trust her! I think. I stop my skate board to climb out of the sewer hole.
I look around and nod to myself. I climb up the side of a building and start hopping rooftop to rooftop. As I look down upon the city, I see a familiar redhead walk by. I gasp and try to get her attention.
"APRILLLL!" I shout. She looks around until she notices me on the top of an apartment building. She looks over to the friend she was walking with and says something. Her friend nods and walks off. She runs over to the building's alley and I hop down.
"Hey Mikey, what's up?" She smiles.
"Have you seen a short brunette girl walk by?!" I ask axially.
"Uh, Mikey. There are a lot of brunette girls in this town. I doubt I know who you're talking about. And why?" She answers.
"Well she's staying in the lair cause she's from another planet and everyone thinks she's working with Shredder but I know she's not so we need to interrogate her but she's not home so I have to find her!" I explain quickly.
"Wait wait wait. You think she's working with Shredder?" April asks. I nod. "Did you ever perhaps think mayyybbeee she's working with the Kraang?" April asks again.
"No, we didn't. I guess it's because we've been thinking of him as such a big threat and Kraang haven't done anything in a while."
"DID THE WORD ALIEN NEVER COME UP?" She says, now getting a bit scared. "Mikey! Why would you take someone like that into the lair?!"
I laugh. "Actually, it was Leo." She looks at me with a perpetual face.
"Leo? Really? I always thought you'd be the one to do something incredibly stupid, but Leo?" The words from her mouth were becoming colder by the minute.
"So have you seen her or not?"
"No."
"Can you look for her for me? Her name is Callie." I tell her. She nods. "Thanks, April. You're a life saver."
"Just my job." She says and skips off, acting like she didn't just have a conversation with a talking turtle in an alleyway.
I guess I can go back, now that April's looking for her. I think and walk back to the lair.
"Back already?" Raph looks up from his comic book. I nod.
"I got April to go look for her." I say in triumph, placing my hands upon my hips.
"Uhh, Mikey. April's here." Leo pipes up.
"What? How did she get here so fast?" I ask. Donnie walks out of his room with April.
"Oh, hey Mikey. What's up?" April waves.
"Uhh... By any chance, you haven't happened talked to me about five minutes ago, right?" I ask her nervously.
"Uh, no?" She looks at me strangely.
"Mikey... Who were you talking to?" Leo asks.
"It was April, I swear." I say in shock.
"Mikey, I have no clue what you're talking about, but that was not me."
