Lily's P.O.V

Bored. That's what I was. Bored to death. And I was worried. sat on my mom's bed in her room in the lair. I hugged my knees. "Hey, Lily wanna spar?" I groaned and looked over at my cousin. "Again?" He nodded eagerly. "I'll go easy on you this time, I promise!" 

I shook my head. "Come on Yoshi. Leave the hot head alone. She's still getting over losing mom." My brother told our green skinned cousin. He hung his head. "Ok.."

I looked over my shoulder watching them leave. Yoshi looked over his shoulder at me. I gave him a small smile. He smiled back before walking on with Buck.

A hand went to my shoulder. "Lily?" I sniffed and wiped my nose. "Leave me alone." My Uncle Leo's voice was soft. "Your dad will come back, And when he does he will have your mom."

I grunted. "No. dad is not coming back. Neither is mom. They are no coming back! Mom is probably dead by now!" He pulled me into his chest as I started to sob. 

"Your parents are strong. They will come back. Your mom is the strongest woman I have ever met. She has been on many near death situations. But she has always pulled through."

I bit my lip. "Is she stronger than a bullet?" He chuckled a little. "Yes. She is." I looked up. "So she's been shot?" he nodded. "And she has survived." I sighed and lay back down in his lap. 

"And the stories of her taking out the shredder was not just a story?" he nodded. "Though your Uncle Mikey may stretch the story a bit." I chuckled softly. "Yeah."

He smiled. "Your brother and cousins are worried." I sighed. "Yeah, I know. Uncle Donnie thought I was sick. But I told him I was just stressed."

Okami jumped up on the bed and put her nose in the pillow. She sighed and whimpered. Uncle Leo ran his fingers through her fur. "It's aright girl. She'll be back."

I sighed. Okami looked at me with her golden eyes. My wolf ear flicked. 'Is she going to return?' I stared at her, head cocked.  "Your talking in my head?" I asked. 'No you can hear my thoughts to you. I guess you got it from your mom.' 

I smiled a little. "Well....I really don't know if she is..." The wolf whimpered. "But I'm sure she will." I added quickly.  She looked at me and closed her eyes. I sighed. ' Please come home mom.....please."

Raph's P.O.V

Jack and I followed the Viper guy to a temple. Then Jack stuck out this arm, stopping me from turning the corner. Taking ou this gun, Jack jumped out of his hiding place and stared. I went out with him. 

Our friend was gone. "Where did he go?" I asked. Jack looked around. "I don't know...wait." He ran his hand over a spot on the wall. "See this?" 

I looked over where his hand was. "Yeah, it's graffiti, no big thing. Walls all over have it." I responded, waving it away. "No." He insisted. 

He pulled me over. "This is a spray painting of a snake...a viper." I looked at him. "You sure? Even if it was. That doesn't help us find the guy." 

He grinned. "Maybe it does." He put his ear to the wall and knocked his gun on it. "This wall sounds hallow. It's a secret door." I brightened. 

"Now all we need to do was find the door." He mumbled. We searched everywhere. Nothing. Then I found something. "Hey...found something." He ran over. "What is it?" I ran my hand over a blinking red light. 

Jack grinned. "Good work Raph." He pulled out a keycard and swipped it over the light. it bllinked green and the door opened. "Where did you get that?" I asked.

He grinned and put it in his pocket. "I had stolen it from a trooped a while ago." I grinned. "Nice." He nodded. "Now, we got to blend in to find my sister..." I nodded. "Looks like we're joining Viper."
