Leo stood on the roof as he waited for the van to show up at the building.

They had been waiting around for a couple hours for the van that had been used in the kidnapping to show up.

"Give it up already. The guy's not gonna show," Raph complained as he glared at Leo.

"We have to be patient," Leo said calmly.

"No, you have to come up with a better plan, because the four of us standing here with our thumbs up our noses-"

"I don't think they'd fit," Mikey spoke up as he looked at his thumbs.

"Is pointless," Raph finished, fed up with this lame plan.

"You sure about that, Raph?" Leo smirked as he stared at the street below.

"He just showed up, didn't he?" Raph grimaced as he slumped. "Shoulda complained two hours ago."

"Gentlemen, I have a bold and daring plan," Leo started as he lowered his voice to imitate Captain Ryan. "There's no time for hesitation. My orders must be carried out without question."

He looked around to see that he was alone on the roof.

"Guys? Guys, wait up!" He jumped after them, sliding down a ladder down into the alley where the driver had gotten out of the van.

"Alright, buddy, we can do this the easy way, or- my vote- the hard way," Raph threatened as he unsheathed his sais.

Donnie pulled his bowstaff as he gave the man a hard look, ready to fight. "Yeah, look at it logically. There are four of us and one of you. What are you gonna do?"

The guy reached behind his back and pulled out a gun, blasting what looked like laser plasma shots at the turtles. They all dodged, jumping up onto the fire escapes.

"You had to ask!" Raph shouted at Donnie.

The guy quickly got into his van and drove away, speeding his way around the corners of New York City.

"He's getting away again!" Donnie cried out.

"No, he's not!" Leo denied, jumping up the fire escapes to get onto the rooftops, his brothers following suit.

The four turtles followed the vans path before Raph jumped down and landed on top of the van, making the guy swing a hard right. The force of the turn threw Raph into a nearby building.

The other three continued along the edge of the roofs only for the man to shoot at them again. Donnie and Mikey backed off a bit, but Leo plowed forward.

He slipped a throwing star into his hand and jumped, throwing the star at the front wheel of the van.

The tire blew and the driver lost control, steering into a street lamp before the van flipped onto it's side.

"Now we're gettin' somewhere," Leo said with a grin as he looked at the van in the road.

He gathered with his brothers in a nearby alleyway and looked at the van quietly.

He made a few hand gestures to which his brothers looked at each other in confusion.

"I don't know what that means," Raph mocked with a hard look.

"Go around back," Leo deciphered with an annoyed tone.

"Why didn't he just say so," Mikey muttered as he looked at Raph and Donnie.

The four turtles made their way around to the van and approached with caution. They went around to the back of the van where boxes were spilling out.

Raph lifted one of the doors and a canister tumbled to the ground, landing I front of Mikey who looked at it in shock.
