Raph ran along the rooftops. Nobody had seen him sneak out of the lair. They had been too caught up in their own thoughts. However, Raph wasn’t going to sit by silently until Donnie found something. He needed to be on the move, looking for his brother. Echoes from earlier in the evening rang through his mind.

Echoes of Mikey’s indignant reply to Raph’s taunt that he was perfect bait.
Echoes of Raph’s argumentative words to Leo.
Echoes of their escalating aggression.
And then the echoes of the fight with the Foot ninjas who had been left to stop them so the van could get away.

It was his fault his brother was in trouble. When would he learn to keep his anger in check? As Raph continued to search, memories replaced the echoes in his mind.

Mikey teasing him during training.
The look on the smallest turtle’s face when he successfully named things.
The moment when, as a child, Raph had promised his only little brother he would protect him.

Roughly, Raph swiped the moisture from his eyes. Putting on an extra burst of speed, he finally caught up to the van he’d been chasing. The same van that had taken Mikey days before. He was going to save his brother, and anybody who got in the way was dead meat.
Something happens on patrol... will their family ever be the same?
