Earlier in the week...

I plopped down on the couch. Geez, fixing up Leo's and Don's room took alot longer than I'd thought! Well, then there was all the shopping I did, too. Maybe I shoulda let April and Casey help, but... it was stuff I really wanted to do on my own.

"Mike?"

I turned and saw April enter the living room half asleep. "I didn't wake ya, did I?"

"No," she replied. I returned with a look saying 'I don't believe you.' She sighed. "Actually, you did wake me up." She came over and sat next to me. "You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but..."

"Uh oh," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Seriously, Mike," she gave me a glare to add emphasis. "What do you think Raph is doing?"

"Well..." I began, but paused. Truth is, I didn't have a clue. Just feels like forever since... "I don't know. If I did, I'd be looking for him. But right now, I don't feel like searching every square inch of this country, or the rest of this continent just to find him and have him blow me off, either."
