Leo and Donnie return to the lair, they see a agitated Raph with his arm bandaged sat with Splinter being made to drink herbal tea to aid his healing.
Donnie didn't share his conversation with Leo wanting to tell everyone together,
"You seem troubled my son" Splinter clocked Donnie's conflicted and confused expression,
"Well of course he's troubled our little brother had been turtlenapped" Raph snapped,
Master Splinter replied with a quieter than usual 'Yaime Raphael" putting his hand on Raph's good shoulder to sooth and quieten him to allow Donnie to answer him.
Donnie and Leo sat down before, Donnie answered,
"I spoke with Karai.... she said something, something odd" Donnie explained,
"What was that my son?" Splinter asked,
"She confirmed The Shredder has Mikey, she said you took her mother from her and so Mikey being taken is apparently revenge" Donnie told him,
Splinters eyes grew wide, "I do not know what she refers to, I took no-one from anyone, It is I that that lost my loved ones my wife and daughter" Splinter told him feeling baffled, the turtles all knew the story of what happened to Tang Shen & Miwa. But none understood Karai's words or what she is referring to.
"Shredder thinks you took Tang Shen from him, so in his delusional mind could of passed to his daughter either that or she was lied to" Leo suggested,
"Well so the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, did she say anything that helps us find Mikey?" Raph asked, more in hope than expectation.
"no but she did say he had a head injury" Donnie replied with a grimace,
Shocked faces looked at Donnie in horror by only Leo spoke,
"How bad?" Leo asked,
"She didn't say, she could well of been lying but remember he landed on a car hard and it looked like quite a fall, remember the dents we saw, so it's certainly probable he got hurt" Donnie replied,
"Alright so what do we do" Raph asked, feeling anxious again and eager to do something,
The three brothers looked at Master Splinter for guidance, after a moment Splinter gathered his thoughts.
"We must wait for them to make their move, there is probably a plan a foot but I will come with you tonight on patrol particularly with Raphael's injury perhaps and if I am the target it may bring things to ahead sooner but in the meantime get some rest, we cannot go out until nightfall" Splinter ordered,
"Hai Sensei" the brothers uttered in unison, well at least it was something but they knew sleep would elude them once more.
