Leo's Capture

Part 3

In the truck, Leo slept peacefully on his right side. He wasn't showing any signs of waking up. The men hoped bringing in this turtle was worth it. But if their boss was planning on punishing this turtle, they hoped she would.

After a few hours drive upstate, it was nearly morning, and the place where Leo was being brought to was near Saratoga Springs. He was a long way from home now.

He was lifted out of the truck and carried inside to the special room that had been designed for him. He was laid down next to the wall and a shackle was put on his left ankle.

Victoria had been notified and she came in to see her prize turtle.

"Wow. He is very impressive to look at up close." She said and stepped forward to examine him while he was still out cold. "Leave me." She ordered.

The men did as they were told.

Victoria came over to Leonardo's body and looked him over. She saw that his left leg was shackled. She didn't want him trying to escape out the door when he awoke. Then she saw his hands were still tied behind his back. She didn't want his hands ruined.

She went over to him and behind him. She undid the ropes binding his wrists. She wanted him to have free access with his hands, but there would be other ways of controlling him.

Then she noticed the sword harness was still on him. She didn't mind his belt being on for the time being, but Victoria took Leo's harness off and it would hold the swords that had been brought along. She checked his belt and pads for anything that could be used as a weapon or tracker and she found nothing. Obviously her men had done a good job in searching him for weapons.

Now she was going to leave her turtle to wake up and she would introduce herself later.
.........

Don, Raph, and Mike woke up a little later and found they were still on that rooftop and found that Leo was gone. And the criminals in the warehouse were gone too.

"Great! Just great! First we can't stop the Purple Dragons, then the Foot attack, and they take Leo away!" Raph said angrily.

"We'll find him by tracking his Shell Cell." Don said. He opened up his phone and found Leo's phone signal coming from right near them. The Foot had taken it off of him for no tracking purposes.

"Now we'll never find him!" Mikey cried out.

"Yes, we will, Mikey. No matter what it takes, we will find our brother." Don said, now hugging Mikey for comfort. "And right now, we should get home as it's nearly morning and we need to get these injuries treated."

Raph let out a humph. He had been mad at Leo lately, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.

The trio went home tired and sore. Don treated the injuries when they got home.

Splinter had been in bed by the time they got home. He knew most of the time that his sons could usually take care of themselves now. But he would be finding out in the morning that his eldest son was now missing.

The three turtles knew the Foot had taken him and figured they had him at their headquarters. But first they needed a little rest before going there.

After Winters had passed away, his building had become the new Foot headquarters. And who knows what the Foot were doing with it now.

They would get their brother back, no matter what it took to find him.
..........

Leo groaned as he started to wake up. He felt sore and tired. As he pushed himself to sit up, he rubbed his head to get the dizzy feeling out of his head.

"Ooh, I really don't feel that great." He mumbled.

On camera, Victoria was watching her turtle wake up. She would wait a little longer before going to see him again. She wanted him to be more awake and sober first. Give him time for the drugs to wear off of him. And now she had heard the turtle's voice. So if he tried to hide the fact that he could talk, she knew it was a lie.

When his vision focused some more, Leo glanced around at his surroundings. He saw he was in an empty cell with a toilet and sink for company. When he tried to get up, he felt and heard shuffling and Leo looked at his legs.

He saw his left one had a shackle on it.

Leo was glad that his hands were left loose. He moved himself to a sitting position and tried to get the shackle off his ankle, but it was locked on tight. It wasn't going to come off. When he tried looking for a shuriken that might help unlock it, Leo noticed that his sword harness was gone. And all his shurikens were gone too!

"Oh great! I'm stuck here." Leo sat back against the wall. "But somehow, I will get out of here. Now I just need to find out what happened to my brothers."

He still felt dizzy in his head and a little queasy in his stomach. The drugs just had that effect on him. But he also had to test the limit of the shackle.

Leo got up off the floor, using the wall for support and tried to go towards the door. He was only able to make it halfway to the door when the shackle's chain stopped him from going any further. And not only that, he couldn't even get over to the sink for him to get some water.

Leo sighed and went back to the wall. He had no idea why he was here and knew he would find out who was behind his capture. But they better not harm his brothers or they would pay dearly.

He sat back and began to breathe deeply to try to help ease the nausea in his stomach. Nothing much else to concentrate on at the moment.
..........

Eventually, Leo had fallen asleep again when there had been nothing else to do.

The floor wasn't very comfortable, but it was all he had.

He woke up to the sound of a loud sound unlocking the door. He jerked his head upright, and saw someone now entering the room. He quickly pushed himself into a sitting position, then stood up. He was ready for a fight if they were going to offer it.

"Now, take it easy, Turtle. I have been wanting to personally meet you for a long time." Victoria said. "My name is Victoria. And you will call me that. And don't hide that you can't talk. I heard you talk last night. And I have been wondering for the longest time, what is your name?"

"Leonardo, and where are my brothers?" He answered.

"Don't worry about the other three. They are just fine. Back home I presume, without you." She said.

Leo was glad that his family was alive and well, but then he needed to worry about himself. "They'll find me. You can't keep me here. Where am I anyway?"

"You are far away from New York now, Leonardo. We made sure that you were removed of any tracking devices. Let's just say that you are in upstate New York."

Leo's eyes widened. "It doesn't matter. They'll still look for me. But why have you brought me here?"

"I was fascinated from the moment I saw you on a rooftop several weeks ago. I just had to have you."

"And without my personal consent. I'm not going to stay here, Victoria."

"I'm pretty sure I have you covered that you're not going to be able to escape. You have an important job to do for me. Some tests and then the good stuff."

Already, the way she was talking about tests made Leo real nervous. But what important job would he have to do in order to go home?

"If I do this job, then can I go home?" Leo asked.

"I think you are going to be here for a long time, my turtle." Victoria replied.

"I'm not your turtle! Let me go!"

"No way. Now that you're here and freshly awake, the tests will begin soon." Victoria said and was now walking out of the room. She locked the door behind her.

Leo sat down again. 'Great! Another maniac who wants to experiment on me.' He said in his mind. He wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of pain she would induce on him. Everyone who had captured him or his brothers always wanted to cause them pain in some way sooner or later.
