Just Give Me A Reason

4: Never Give Up

-- Back At The Lair --

Leo paced back and forth carelessly. It's been a whole week since his disappearance. And with no sings or clues, Donatello was stuck. They only knew his last location, which where his Shell Cell and Sai was left.

"We have to go back.." Leo growled.

"Dude, we searched that area at least five times..." Mikey whined.

"I agree. We would've found something by now." Donnie added removing goggles from his face.

Leo ignored his brother's words. "We have to check one last time." He stated before motioning the two to follow him.

The three brothers stalked through the night, on their way to the scene Leo had previously told them about.

Upon arrival, it looked the same.

"Look...closely." Leo demanded.

"Got it bro.." Mikey replied playfully.

Donnie just sighed and combed the scene over in his night vision goggles. "Nothing..." He soon whispered.

"How are we going to find him..." Leo looked up at the full moon as small tears began to from in his eyes. "He's gone. Because of me."

"Uhhh, guys...I found a peice of paper. Kinda looks important." Mikey waved the now dirty gathered paper, then handing it to Donatello. "Read it..."

Clearing his throat, the brainy Turtle began to read the words being shown before him. "To whom this may concern, we found him layin unconscious. We decided to bring him to our home, to rehabilitate him and release him back to you. Sincerely, Destiny and Chase."

"So these two have our brother." Leo questioned. "So we know whom to find next."

"But Leo, there's thousands of Destiny's and Chases. How are we going to find these particular two?" Donnie asked trying to be reasonable.

"Leaving a note means..they left finger prints." Leo simply stated.

Donnie stroked his chin smiling. "Smart Leo."

Leo tucked the paper into his belt and motioned the others to fall back. He was pleased that he never gave up. Something he knew he couldn't do. Especially with his brother.

"I'm coming.." Leonardo whispered.
