Chapter 6: Annette Richardson
The next day, Michelangelo woke up on the hospital bed in the lab, surrounded by Leatherhead, Splinter and the other turtles.
"Wha...What happened?" Michelangelo groaned.
"You unfortunately got into a feral stage again" Donatello reported.
"I...I didn't hurt anyone, did I?" Mikey quietly asked.
"No one was hurt," Leonardo assured the young turtle.
"I managed to hold you and calm you down," Leatherhead added.
"You always made me calm in bad situations" Mikey pointed out, holding Leatherhead's hand with his.
"I worry for you, my son; these stages you go through" Splinter expressed his concern.
"I...I cannot help it, every time I see something that reminds me of...them...I lose control, no matter how much I try to fight it" Michelangelo quietly replied.
"Are ya saying ya broken or something?" Raphael quizzed.
"I guess so," Michelangelo nodded.
"I was the same but I managed to control it and so can you" Leatherhead replied.
"How?" Michelangelo asked.
"I know someone who can and...before I sent her in, you guys must promise not to go against her" Leatherhead explained.
"Why? Wot's so bad about this woman?" Raphael quizzed.
"Either way, we promise" Leonardo added with Donnie and Splinter nodding.
Leatherhead soon allows a woman into the laboratory to which Michelangelo gasped in shock: "You!"
Annette Richardson stands silently in the lab before she greeted: "Greetings, I'm Annette Richardson"
She turns to the growling turtle before Leatherhead wraps his arms to calm him down.
"Calm down, my little sunshine" Leatherhead cooed.
"No, you can't trust her! She's one of them!" Michelangelo snapped.
"Them?" Donatello questioned, eyeing Annette suspiciously.
"I am part of the Earth Protection Force," Annette confessed.
"So does that make ya an ally or a foe?" Raphael grunted.
"Considering she's part of those crazy crackpot assholes, what do you think?!" Michelangelo angrily exclaimed.
"Language, Michelangelo," Splinter warned.
"I'm not your enemy and I can prove it" Annette assured the gang then turns to Leatherhead: "Tell them, Leatherhead"
"She was the one who helped me escape and also helped you escape that night" Leatherhead explained.
"What?" Michelangelo quizzed.
"It's true, I helped you escape from the faculty" Annette replied before she shows a DVD disc. "And here's my proof"
She gave the disc to Donatello who puts it in his computer and plays it on the screen. It shows Annette leading the feral Michelangelo on a leash while avoiding soldiers and such before she took him to an underground area while there was the entrance to the sewers via the large pipes.
The gang saw her removing the leash before she pushed Michelangelo into the sewers below.
"Gees, ya didn't have to shove him" Raphael grumbled.
