A short while later, April found herself disguised as a pizza delivery girl again.

The Turtles watched from a nearby rooftop. The plan was simple: plant a pizza inside the Foot Clan’s hideout with a hidden transmitter and listen in on Shredder’s evil plans. It had worked for April before, but Donnie wasn’t convinced.

“I don’t like this,” he said.

“Me neither,” Mikey agreed. “Giving the enemy a free pizza?”

They watched April knock on the front door.

A Foot Soldier answered, and April launched into her spiel. “Did somebody here order a totally delicious—”

The Foot Soldier slammed the door in April’s face before she could finish. She turned back down the alley and removed her T-Phone from her pocket. T-Phones were high-tech smartphones that Donnie had built for the Turtles and April. She called Leo. “Looks like the Foot Clan are smarter than the Purple Dragons,” she reported.

Mikey sighed with relief. “At least we’ve still got the pizza!”

But April wasn’t ready to call it quits. She eyed the old church building, looking for a way in.

“I’m not done yet,” she said, hanging up the phone.

April spotted an open window that led into the hideout, but it was several stories up. She’d have to scale the fire escape next door just to try to leap over to it. It was a risky move, but it was her only choice.

Donnie watched April run to the opposite building. “What is she doing?”

Mikey peered over the roof in time to watch April throw her baseball cap and the pizza into a Dumpster.

“No, not the pizza!” Mikey lamented. “She’s gone rogue!”

April ran up to the building and knocked on the door. An old man answered.

Lowering her voice, April launched into character. “Sir, I’m with the Firefighters Association.” She flashed her school ID as if it were a badge. “We’ve received reports of some faulty wiring in this building. Mind if I have a look-see?”

Baffled, the old man said, “Well, I don’t think—”

April shoved her way past him, heading inside and upstairs to the fire escape.

As he watched April climb out the second-floor window, Donnie had stars in his eyes. “She’s so cool.”

April stood on the guardrails of the fire escape, ready to put her kunoichi skills to the test. From this height, the jump over to the Foot Clan building looked like a one-way trip to the hospital, but she knew she had to make it.

April gulped, summoned her courage, and vaulted across the alley.

Her foot missed the ledge, but she managed to grab the edge and haul herself through the open window.

She was in the Foot Clan’s hideout.
