Donnie's POV
Mikey yawned loudly as Donnie started to pour his morning glass of coffee, Donnie nodded flickered a smile at his younger brother.
"Hey Don, where's Leo?" He asked. Donnie shrugged.
"I don't know, probably still sleeping." He answered. Mikey shook his head.
"No, I checked."
"Training? He might of woken early again." Donnie answered unconsciously.
"Did he come home last night?" Mikey asked, fear creeping into his voice. Donnie smiled.
"He probably crashed at Casey and April's house for some reason." He said, sipping his orange juice. "I'll call later."
Mikey nodded.
"Alright." He smiled and slipped his hand it into a box of jellybean and hawaiian pizza, that had been lying out all night. Donnie's stomach squirmed uncomfortably, he didn't tell Mikey he didn't think that Leo was at Casey\April's, because Leo wasn't the kind of turtle just to do that. Then again Leo did seem pretty mad last night, it would make sense if Leo just wanted space.
~2 hours later~
Donnie's face paled. "What do you mean, Leo's not at you house?" He asked, knowing the answer.
"Wait, he never came home last night?" April said at the other line.
"No. He was pretty angry last night though." Donnie explained, he felt his family's eyes on him. April was silent.
"Do you want Casey and I to look for him?" April asked in a sympathetic tone. Donnie opened his protest, but stopped himself.
"If you don't mind." He said in a low voice.
"Donnie, Leo's our friend too." April said. Donnie nodded.
"Okay what if I set a camera in Casey's helmet so while he drives around I can talk to him and see the city." Donnie muttered.
"Your the genius." April said. Donnie nodded.
"So how about you come in an hour and I'll set it up."
"See you in an hour then Don." April said in a smiling voice.

Mikey's POV
Mikey jumped over the couch, he clasped a fist over a slice of pizza,
"Casey and April's here!" Mikey yelled, trying to sound upbeat. Donnie looked up from the table he nodded. Raph walked out of the dojo, sweat patches on the side of his mask. He was closely followed by Splinter. Mikey looked at his family, they look grave and scared. The look that Mikey hated to see on their faces.
"I'm sure he's fine." Mikey said, trying to sound happy but his voice failed him.
"Yeah." Raph muttered.
"So what are you actually doing to my helmet?" Casey asked as he handed it to Don. Donnie sat down on the table and pulled out a screwdriver.
"I'm just putting a camera and microphone so we can communicate with us. What you see, I see, it'll pop up on my screen so if you miss anything," Donnie explained, Mikey could hear the stress in his voice. "Just be quiet so I can concentrate." He focused on the helmet. Mikey looked nervously at April. April smiled at Mikey, her face read. 'Just give him space.' Mikey nodded.
'If I must.' He mouthed. A smile flickered on April lips, which made Mikey happy.
"So what 's the plan?" Casey asked Raph casually, knowing Donnie' was too focused to answer.
"You on your bike, yeah. Mike's taking the van. I think April's doing something." Raph shrugged. Casey nodded. Mikey grinned.
"Yeah! Cowabunga Carl's in!" Mikey said happily, he looked around to see his family's reaction, nothing, even Raph was too down to yell at him. Mikey looked at the floor, he'd run out of idea's to lighten the mood.
********************************************************
"Okay, I'm done lets go." Donnie stood up and handed Casey his helmet. Casey nodded.
"Lets go!" Mikey said, letting his energy out. Splinter went back into the dojo to meditate, Mikey had found out April was searching on foot around the large city for clues, calling in every hour. She re-brushed her hair. Raph rolled his eyes. Casey slid his biker gloves on, thick jacket hung over his muscly shoulders. Mikey put the sticker zip on his plastron. He focused on it to get it straight in the middle. Raph rolled his eyes.
"Just put it on, your wasting enough time." Raph said impatiently, more anger behind it then normally.
Donnie's POV
"I'm ready, let's ride!" Casey half shouted, Mikey nodded.
"Time to wear a hot mask over my head all day!" Mikey joked. Donnie looked at Casey and April.
"Thanks for doing this guys." He said nervously. April smiled.
"We would've done it anyway, you guys are family." She said.
"Yeah." Casey encouraged. Donnie nodded his head confidently.
"I'm ready." Mikey said in a muffled voice behind them, Donnie turned his head and saw Mikey caring a stack of about five pizza boxes and a mini ice box, cans stuck out. Donnie sighed.
"Really Mikey?" He asked.
"Really what?" Mikey frowned. "You mean these? I'm going out all day Don, I can have back up. Also what if I find Leo and he's all stuck and really hungry or thirsty!" Mikey protested.
"You don't give some who needs water, soda Mikey." Donnie started to argue, but stopped himself. Mikey was right. (For a first.) What if Leo was hurt... or dying... Donnie shook his head, keep your head in the mission Donatello. Donnie scolded himself.

Casey's POV
4:30ishpm
Casey sighed, his legs ached from riding all day. The camera and micro-phone had gone dead, Casey had no idea if anyone else had found Leo. First he spend the first four hours around the city, at about two he moved out of the borders on Donnie's orders, he was heading in the direction of the farm house. There was a possibility Leo could have headed there if he was injured, knowing of it's isolation, shelter and emergency food April had insistent they leave in case they needed immediate actions and didn't have time to grab food. A rustle in the bushes. Casey paused as a shadow flashed past, he hung around the turtles enough to know what it sounded. Casey parked his bike on side of the road.
"Leo?" Casey shouted loudly, feeling stupid. A shadow started to fall through the trees.
"Yes?" A rough voice said. Casey grinned.
"Leo your okay!" Casey said happily as his friend took shape in the darkening sun.
"Yeah? Why wouldn't I be?" Leo asked. Casey blinked.
"Uh, everyone's freaking out. They think you got attacked or captured." Casey explained, he looked at Leo, who was keeping his face straight and unemotional.
"Oh yeah, I forgot they would freak." Leo muttered just loud enough for Casey to just hear him.
"What do you mean Leo, come on, back home." Casey frowned. Leo shook his head.
"I'm not going back." Leo said flatly.
"Uh Leo what are you talking about?" Casey asked confused. What was up with him?
"I'm not, " Leo repeated shaking his head. "I'm tired of getting the blame. Let them feel what it's like to have to get yelled at every time something happens that's not your fault." Leo looked away, his voice was straight and unmoving.
"Leo, every ones freaking out!" Casey repeated, he was never the best with words. He tried to think of a way to reason with his friend. Leo looked at the floor, he took in a breath.
"Look, you don't understand, just leave me alone." Leo said in a hard voice. Casey nodded.
"Okay, but what do I say to the guys... tell them your okay?" Casey asked, he understood there was no point to keep arguing, he knew that from his own anger and spending hours at the lair with Splinter and the turtles. Leo looked at Casey.
"Nothing," Leo answered "If you are really going to go back, don't tell anyone that you found me... not even April." Warning in his tone. Casey reluctantly nodded.
"Just keep driving, like your still searching." Leo directed, he started to edge closer into the forest.
"Wait!" Casey called, Leo paused.
"Yeah?"
"Were are you going, I mean if your staying at the farm house... I'm all..."
"Same place I was before, Central America." Leo answered and disappeared again.
Casey took in a breath, he held his anger back. His phone rang.
"Yeah?" Casey answered.
"Casey!" Donnie shouted at the other line. "Any sign of Leo?" He asked desperately. Casey paused as he remembered his recent conversation. Casey rolled his tongue in his mouth.
"No." He answered reluctantly, leaving a dry bad taste in his mouth, Donnie was silent.
"Okay," Donnie said in a quiet dry voice. "Just head back.Got any gas left?" Donnie asked Casey nodded, checking his gas'o metre.
"Yep." He answered into the phone.
"See you soon I guess." Donnie said sadly.
"Yeah , you too..."
