Upon reaching the shed, Donnie is able to pick the lock within seconds. You follow the turtles inside and the first thing to catch your eye is the pictures tacked up on the wall. They were all family pictures, at least fifteen of them hung about the small room. Tears prick your eyes. The love and dedication you saw in the pictures reminded you of what you had lost. In a way you could relate to the guy that had lived here. He'd lost everything that he had ever loved, but the difference between you and him was you had good people in your life now. That man had no one. You quickly wipe your forming tears away and hope that no one noticed.

"Find anything?" You turn your attention to watching Donnie flip through all the papers strewn over the desks and Leo rustling through the drawers. "In English please"

"Nothing of significance" Donnie says "I don't think there is anything else to find here."

"What about those dudes who are going in the back door?" Mikey asks, looking through the small single window.

"What people?" Your senses going into hyperawareness

"Five or six dudes that just walked into the door that we came out of" Mikey says

"Did they all show up at once or one by one?" Leo asks

"One at a time" Mikey says "There may have been others, I thought I saw someone earlier though, but then Y/N saw the skeleton and I forgot"

"That would have been nice to know at the time Mikey" Leo says "They might have seen us"

"They would have come over if they did" Donnie says "But we should move just in case"

"Move where?" Raph asks "We're supposed to stay in the house till mornin. We can't leave now"

"We could hide on the third floor" You suggest. You didn't really want to stay, but there was no way that you were going to be the reason that you lost the bet. "We know they won't go up those stairs"

"Something isn't right here" Leo says "I think it's about time we check out the basement"

"Finally" Raph cracks his knuckles "A good fight is just what this night needs"

"Is that really the best idea we have?" Donnie asks

"We can't stay here" Mikey says "Now that I've looked at it, this is definitely the place the ghost would haunt. Lots of unfinished work in here"

"I hate to say it," You sigh. "But I agree with Mikey. Just not the ghost part. We need to find out what's going on and if someone does come out looking, we really shouldn't stay here."

"The place has been abandoned for years" Donnie says "No one should be in there and anyone that is, isn't up to any good"

"We'll check it out then" Leo says "But full ninja mode. No one is to take action unless I say so"

"Are you sure it wasn't just a bunch of teens on a dare?" Raph asks "We could give them a good scare"

"They were thug looking" Mikey says "Like the shady- meet-you-in-a-back-alley kind"

"There would be more people, noise and lights if it was a party" You say "I've been to a party or two and they are never quiet"

"Y/N has a point" Donnie says "This doesn't have a party feel to it and the two guys we ran into earlier were more of the gang type"

"The only thing I can think of that would be this quiet is a ghost hunt" You say "Or a séance, but the people Mikey would have seen would have been in robes"

"That's a movie stereotype" Donnie rolls his eyes "There is no way people actually do that"

"You're a mutant ninja turtle that lives in the sewer, fights other ninjas, aliens and mutants" You list "Not to mention the dimension travel, inventions and...."

"Ok, ok" Donnie holds up his hands in defeat "You got me"

"If we walk in there and find some kind of voodoo I'm out" Raph says

"I'm with you on that" You agree
