I’ll start at the beginning.
Originally the boy was carrying five of us baby turtles not four like everyone thinks. Yes yes, we did fall into the sewer along with the strange jar of ooze. Not knowing any better we all started to explore our new surroundings. Immediately I started to feel my inturtle temperature rise. Then it started to burn. BAD. Since my shell hadn’t fully developed yet my bits and pieces had no real protection. It was pretty painful. My brothers helped wipe off what they could which helped immensely. Soon after Master Splinter showed up. He was able to clean me the rest of the way. Unfortunately exposing himself in the process. Master Splinter brought us home and gave us all names. The four of which you already know. Then there was me...named after Antonio Allegri de Correggio. I was able to train ninjitsu with my brothers however some techniques were just too advanced. On those days Master Splinter sent me on various missions to “find things”. You see my shell never did fully develop so I was able to access spaces the others could not. One evening I was searching for [two chain] to repair Mike’s nunchucks.
I rolled a Maxwell House Coffee can out of my way when out tumbles a tube of ooze. It was very similar to the one that fell from the T.C.R.I. truck fifteen years ago. I walked as fast as I could back to Master Splinter. The next morning it was decided that I take the newly found vile and find a safe place. A place where Shredder and his Clan wouldn’t find it. In the past few months the Foot has been inching closer and closer to finding our home location. In 2007 I moved to Iowa to start a new life. I met a girl, we had a son, I landed a great job (Assistant Exhibit Coordinator/Nahant Marsh Div.) and I joined the local martial arts gym! Things were looking up. Frankly however life is just getting way too busy for me to protect this canister of green goop. I’ve hidden it in a somewhat safe place where I think no Foot Clan member will find it. What I need from you is to go check on it for me. Just sign and date to verify it’s there. Nothing else.
Would you be willing to help? Leo called today. I guess he wants all of us in New York for Fathers Day this year. I better start booking a flight.
Hey thanks again for checking on that. You’re a peach
