the Cost of Freedom

Hearing two new voices Mel turned to see two Purple Dragons one of them was the one that pointed a gun at her and they were filming the fight like it was a normal thing to do. Well then she was going to get some payback by destroying those phones but first she needed a way to get them. One looked to be drunk off his ass and high as a kite the other was stone cold sober. With her injured arm she stood no chance in a fight but she could still run the bleeding had for the most part started to stop.

So far they hadn't noticed her yet which was perfect she would get the drop on them and hopefully take off before they could catch her. Slipping into the shadows and picking up an empty glass bottle in the alleyway she slipped around to get them from behind. So far so good they were to distracted by the fight perfect to nail one in the back. Taking aim she threw the bottle with her left hand which wasn't her dominate side at the drunk and high Dragon. Hopefully it wouldn't miss him.

Of course the Foot would want to do this the hard way. With an irritated sigh, Raphael easily blocked and deflected the sword when it came at his neck. The prongs of his sais holding it hostage and he gave a twist, attempting to pull it from her hands...


"Why are women so damn stubborn?!" He snorted, aiming a kick at her midsection. "Or, is it just a Foot thing?"

The sword easily came out of her hands, but she did move out of the way of the kick. It's a woman thing. Now without a weapon she had to use other means of getting the upper hand. Honestly she didn't want to fight the turtle, any of the turtles. Yeah she was a trained foot, but she was really bad at it. The turtle could easily take her out.

She pulled off her mask and, avoiding the sais, planted a kiss on his lips then jumped back out of the way of any attack. That should be enough to put him on his ass, then she could go in for the kill.

Luckily the bottle missed Gabriel and shattered against the wall, a few inches away from his head. The incident startled him and he quickly spun, sliding the phone back into his pocket and reaching for his gun. He took aim, but soon realized that it was a girl. Well, that was unexpected. He looked at his brother, wondering what he would want to do about this situation, but he knew that shooting her wasn't an option. Well, it was.. but it was wrong to shoot a kid.


"Throwin' shit.. that ain't nice." The curly haired thug huffed, joint still wedged between his lips. "This is Dragon territory, you shouldn't be here."

The bottle also startled Ezekiel. He spun around and saw that damn girl again. he pulled out his gun and took aim. Gabe might not want to shoot a kid, but Eze wasn't against it. You have three seconds to leave or I put one in yer head. he said and cocked his gun.

" You really gonna use that gun tactic again? Fucking hell gangs are pathetic they need guns against 14 year old girls. Besides that big turtle is out there do you want to piss him off?" Mel asked the Dragons feeling overconfident with the hope that the turtle man didn't like these guys.

"But if you want to kill me you have to catch me first!" She yelled taking off where the giant turtle and woman was fighting.

And Gabriel was well aware that if pushed, Ezekiel had no problems doing what needed to be done. This kid had seen too much. Apparently this wasn't her first time in the warehouse, so maybe they needed to find a way to keep her quiet about the location. Scare tactics. But then Ezekiel told her she had three seconds, and the little shit took off toward that huge ass Turtle..


Gabriel gave his brother a questioning look, wondering if they soul even bother going after her, or just let her go. With a shrug, he shoved the gun back into the waistline of his jeans, and once again reached for his phone to finish recording the fight...


"Sooo, how much you think this video will be worth?" He asked, taking a puff of his joint and passing it to Eze.

It seemed that Raphael had the upper hand until the woman removed her mask and moved in to press a kiss against his lips. Needless to say, the large reptile was completely taken aback by the gesture. He blinked in confusion, but it gave way to irritation as he realized that she was probably mocking him. He wiped at his lips with the back of his arm, glaring murderous daggers at her..


"What the hell is yer problem?!" He seethed, not really expecting an answer. The woman was crazy, that much was for certain.

Mikko gave a cute pout then smiled. Don't like kisses? Or is it just me? His confusion gave her enough time to gather her sword again. But, she was unsure if she wanted to continue this fight. The girl that started this whole mess had come running back to the scene. Mikko rolled her eyes.

Ok handsome. You win this time. Next time I wont be so nice.

With that she turned to leave, head to the two men that were filming them and ask that the footage be deleted.

"Sooo, how much you think this video will be worth?" He asked, taking a puff of his joint and passing it to Eze.

Eze turned back around when the girl fled and tucked his gun away. If she showed up again he would shoot. He took the joint and took a hit off of it watching as the foot kissed the turtle. That was gross. Did you film her making out with him? A foot making out with one of the turtles should be worth some cash. You know what we have to do though, right? we have to get that turtle. If Hun sees we past up an opertunity to kill one of them, we'll be do a lot more grunt work.

Mel stopped running quickly noticing the thugs weren't following her. Figures she had called their bluff because they would be stupid to try to kill her with that giant turtle there. Still that wouldn't stop the turtle from fighting them anyway it seemed like he could've just let the crazy woman take off with her but he didn't. Looking towards the fight it seemed like it was over with no injuries because crazy ass bitch gave up for some reason.

" Hey Red thanks for getting me away from that crazy bitch she was taking me to Hun. Seems to think I saw to much or something." The young teen called out to the turtle now feeling the pain in her right arm which made her grip it. God damn it the adrenaline rush was gone and pain came back with a vengence fucking hell.

Gabriel gave a nod at Ezekiel, confirming that he had indeed gotten the kiss on film. Then Ezekiel mentioned that they needed to get the turtle, and he groaned at that. The beast was huge! "How are we supposed to take him down? Shoot him to death?" Of course Gabe wasn't too keen on that idea. Sometimes killing came with the territory, but he liked to avoid it when possible. "I'm sure Hun would prefer him alive.. just dunno how we'll go about that..."


Then the Foot ninja approached and Gabriel was a bit taken aback by how pretty she actually was. He flashed her his trademark grin and took another puff of the joint, exhaling it slowly. "Aw, you want it deleted, huh? What do I get in return?" He asked, flashing her a wink.

Mikko grabbed the joint from Gabe and took a long puff from it then gave it back. She smiled back at him. What do you want? I would suck yer dick, but I was always told not to put small things in my mouth.

At first Ezekiel was annoyed, with everything. Gabe was right though they couldn't just grab the turtle. Then the foot came up to them and started to flirt? Gabe did have a way with the ladies. He took a sip of his water he near by but spit it out at her comment. He couldn't help but laugh. I like her.

Raphael was taken aback when the Foot chick decided to just walk away. WTF? Not that he was complaining. Killing her wasn't something he was up to for tonight. With a shrug, he turned to walk away but stopped in his tracks hearing the kid approach and babble on about her night. With a massive roll of his eyes, Raph shifted to look at her, his gaze stern and scolding.


"An' maybe you have seen too much. I mean, yer talkin' to a mutant Turtle right now, and you shouldn't be!" He warned. "That alone could put you in danger... an'.. you really need to stop messin' with Dragons. They're a bunch of morons, but they're dangerous. If I hadn't shown up tonight, you'd be dead."


Noticing that she was bleeding, Raph sighed deeply and gently grabbed her arm to inspect the injury. "You need to get to a hospital, get that stitched up..."

" I was just to overconfident for my own good this time and I would've been fine they let me go but then she showed up. Who would I tell that I saw a mutant turtle? No one would believe me nor am I gonna tell anyone." Mel told him before he grabbed her arm to look at the wounds. It was the most gentle thing she felt in a long time.

" No hospitals I've had worse than this at times. Besides I'm not going back into a foster home or near any adults. Besides if I'm in so much danger why take me to a hospital where any of them could find me?" She asked looking up at him trying to question his logic.

Gabriel didn't protest when the girl took the joint. Hell, he would have shared with her anyway. Then came her insult and Gabe couldn't help but grin. This girl was spicy... he liked that. Still, he feigned a look of deep hurt and pressed a hand to his chest for emphasis. "Ouch.. right in the feels.."


And Ezekiel's laughter earned an elbow to the side. If only Ezekiel made more of an effort himself, maybe he wouldn't still be single. "No small things around here, sweetheart." He said, giving her a wink as he offered her the joint again. No hard feelings...

Mikko smiled brightly and was glad she didn't stick around to fight the turtle. She took the joint back and took another hit before passing it to the other guy. I shouldn't be getting high on the job you know. Shredder would have my ass. So you going to delete that footage for me? Or do I have drop to my knees and beg? She asked gripping Gabe's crotch and giving him a squeeze.

She could take both these guys out if she wanted to. But playing with them would be more fun.

Gabriel flashed her that charming grin once again, giving her a cheeky look when she grabbed his crotch. This could either end very badly, or good. Tonight, he was the 'glass half full' kinda guy. And maybe he shouldn't be, considering that she was the Foot and they were known for being nasty.


"I dunno, babe. This is once in a life time shit right here.. but I can blur yer face out if that's what you're worried about..."

Mikko let him go and chuckled. It is what i'm worried about. but. the foot have ways of finding things out. and if they see me, say, kissing a turtle, I'll be killed on the spot. You understand?

Mikko quickly made her move. Knocking Ezekiel down and grabbing her sword. She got behinf the fallen thug grabbed him by the hair and placed the sword to his neck.

I think you see where this is going.

So this girl was an orphan, great. Though, he had figured as much. Sighing deeply, he used his sai to cut a strip of fabric from his red dew rag, then carefully began bandaging her arm. "The logic is.. hospitals have security an' shit.. the streets don't.." He tried to reason.



"Yer too young to be out here on yer own. You need help. Foster care can't be that bad..."

Ezekiel was still chuckling at the two when he was suddenly attacked. He stood perfectly still and looked at Gabe.

Dude just delete the fucking video. sure, Gabe could have shot her or something, but killing a foot wouldn't look to good on their record. It was best to just do as she asked and hopefully they could all be on their way.

" The streets are my home Red they're better than in some hospital where I will be taken somewhere else when I'm treated." She told him as she let him bandage her arm wincing a bit.

" Foster homes don't give a shit about any foster kids all they want is money and when things get tough you're put in a new one. And I refuse to go through that over and over again. No one gives a shit about me so why would I give a shit about them they're probably happy that I'm gone not bothering them with my problems." Mel answered tears started to go down her cheeks from all the emotional shit she went through.

In the blink of an eye, the Foot woman had Ezekiel at his mercy, which caused Gabriel to instinctively draw his gun. Yeah, the Foot were nasty. Would she still kill him, even if the video was deleted? Probably. If that happened, then he would drop her, too..

"What the fuck!" He huffed, pulling out his phone. "It's jut a fuckin' video.. not worth someone gettin' killed over.." With that he held it up so that she could see him delete it. "Okay, there.. happy? Now let him go before I put a bullet between those pretty eyes of yers.."

And just like that, Mikko's whole attitude changed. she smiled and put her weapon away and patted Eze's shoulder. Sorry about that. She even helped him to his feet. She then turned to Gabe and walked to him until the gun was pressed against her skin.

You have pretty eyes too. You know if you like videos so much we can make one of our own.

Gabriel's nerves were still frayed so when Mikko practically walked into his gun and made her 'suggestion', he gave her a look of complete disbelief. "Are you crazy?! You just had a sword pressed against my brother's throat! All over a motherfuckin' video!"


He held his gun in place for a moment, now not trusting her at all. Would she cut him down the moment he lowered his weapon? Wouldn't that be risky for her, considering that their boss worked for hers? They were all sort of a team, and killing members was forbidden.


After a moment, the curly haired thug finally lowered his pistol. "Yer beautiful.. but yer fuckin' insane..."
