Chapter 10

Return to the Sewers

"So, now that the Foot is still at large, we need to do something." Leo said, later that night as the group gathered around the table.

"The Foot…is afoot." Mikey snickered.

"Ugh…" Raph shook his head.

"They don't know where the new sewer is, right?" April asked.

"No, not that we know of." Donny said.

"It may not be safe to go back there, not with the Foot looking for us." Leo reasoned.

"Maybe it's time to return to the old sewer." Splinter said. His four sons looked at him in surprise.

"Come again?" Raph asked.

"They may know of our old home's location, but they don't know it like we do." Splinter replied.

"Are you saying we should lure them down there… to fight us?" Leo confirmed.

"You're actually saying we should fight them?" Raph added, almost seeming pleased.

"They'll have to come to us." Splinter said. "Then we will leave them a message, as the Foot like to leave messages of their own."

"Let them know we're not messing around!" Mikey said.

"Okay, a plan to ambush them, and we'll leave our message." Leo concluded.

~jb~

"Not this place again." Casey grumbled as he pulled up to the sewer. "At least the new sewer has more space than this place did."

"I haven't seen the old sewer." Jamie admitted. "I think it's gonna rain soon."

Leo and Raph struggled to open the old sewer lid. They hadn't used it in so long…

Jamie slowly crawled down the dusty old ladder. The sewer was smaller than the old subway. It was dusty and some things were left in disarray. Donny had filled her in with the story of why they had to move. He told her the story of when the Foot first attacked and kidnapped Slinter.

"Are we sure this is a good idea?" Jamie asked.

"No, but a bad plan is better than no plan." Leo reassured her.

"I guess…" Jamie said. "Are you sure about…you know…me fighting?"

"Well, I'm confident in one thing." Leo replied. "Just remember the basics I taught you, and you'll be fine. Besides, we'll all be here for you. If you're part of our team now, you need to learn this quickly: we look out for each other."

Jamie smiled and nodded.

"Well, we should get some rest. We'll know when the Foot show up." Leo said.

Sorry, this chapter is super short! Hope you enjoyed anyway. I've been blocked for the end of this story, but it will be finished anyways. Leave a review!
