*beep* [11:00 AM]
Krang. The artifact you needed us to get, you never mentioned it was guarded by HEAVY ARTILLERY! Now isn’t the time for our…quarrel… this morning to get in the way of the mission. I need more information on the building so call me back.
*beep* [1:30 PM]
Hey Krang, it’s Shredder. I- I wanted to apologize for what I said before leaving today. I tried calling during the recon, but you- well you didn’t pick up. I’m happy to report we got the artifact and those two mutant fools are on their way back to deliver it to you.
I’m not with them because I needed to clear my head. Walk around for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever actually argued with you like that before. I’m sorry.
Call me back when you get this.
*beep* [1:45 PM]
Krang? I know it hasn’t been long, but you still haven’t picked up. I know you’re mad, but this information isn’t about our private relations, and I need to talk to you about the recon mission.
Call me back.
*beep* [3:45 PM]
If you’re still mad I understand but I need to talk to you. Normally I’m the one who would be petty, but at least I would pick up the com.
…
I’m gonna keep walking around until you pick up, I don’t really feel like coming back just yet.
*beep* [5:00 PM]
*glasses clinking can be heard in the background*
Hey, I stopped to get a drink. Just so you have a general idea of where I am. The Turtles didn’t capture me or anything, hah.
…
Why won’t you answer…
*beep* [8:12 PM]
H-hey, I’ve kinda lost track of t-the time. M’ probably gonna be out longer than I thought. You’re mad at me aren’t you? Best’n given you some time t’ yourself. M’ sorry for what I said this morning, I just wan’ you to answer now.
Please call me back.
*beep* [9:28 PM]
(His voice sounds a little slurred)

I don’t think I ever made you that mad before, even before we got together. M’ so sorry so so sorry an’ I just wanna hear your voice please pick up I don’t hate you please tell me you don’t hate me please-
I don’ like to beg…but I’m begging you please don’t hate me.
I- I - I-
(The audio cuts off with a sob)
*beep* [10:54 PM]
They made me leave- said I’d had enough. I fuckin wish I’d had enough, then I’d st- stop thinking so damn much. This is really shitty yknow? Wish you’d pick up even once n’ maybe then I could tell ya how much of a jerk you’re being in person.
You- said sum stuff during our fight too yknow. Shit hurt. It fuckin hurt. I’m not even gonna try to call it an argument anymore, s’ a fight. N’ you probably hate me now.
M’ hanging up now. Call or dont, I don’ fuckin care.
*beep* [11:09 PM]

I dun even know where I am, ‘think ‘m somewhere in midd town. Fuck.
(sobbing can be heard on the other end)
*beep* [11:44 PM]
ごめんなさい。 応答するか、電話するか、または何でもしてください。 あなたの声が聞きたい。 お願いします。 なんでも。 あなたが私を憎んでいないことを私に知らせる何か。 ベイビー、あなたが私を嫌いじゃないって知りたいだけ。
*beep* [12:15 AM]
(No voice, just sounds)
(It sounds like someone crashing and dropping something.)
I fucked upagain m’ sorry! Dropped my stupid communicator. I wan’ you to answer. Even if you don’t miss me I miss you, so much.
(Hic)
Pleas answer.
*beep* [12:32 AM]
Krang? Do you hate me? Did I ruin everything l?? I don’t know where I am. I wanna go home. I wanna be home with you. I wanna be home with our idiot mutants I jus’ wanna go home.
ベイビー、ごめんなさい、気分を害するつもりはなかったの。
Where am I? S’ dark…
*beep* [1:26 AM]
Hi, this is April speaking. I’m guessing you’re Krang? I don’t really know what you two had a fight about, but Shredder is sobbing in my kitchen. He started trying to dial something on the communicator and I saw your name pop up. He’s completely wasted right now.
Tell him I’m sorry-
Shredder wanted me to tell you he’s sorry. I don’t know where you guys live, but I don’t think he’s getting back tonight. He practically fell through my door, and he’s pretty out of it.
I don’t know what you said to him this morning, what either of you said, but you need to apologize. He’s upset enough that he got THIS drunk. So, maybe call him back in the morning? I’ll make sure he’s ok tonight, I won’t even tell the police or the turtles about him being here. He’s- not exactly in a state to fight anyway. I’m pretty sure he’s blacked out a little.
Tell him I love him…
He says he loves you.
…
Call him back or so help me.
*beep* *You have 0 new messages*
…
…
Krang put his comm down and buried his face in his tentacles. He messed up, he messed up big time. Shredder was out, in New York, thinking that he didn’t care about him, and all because his stupid com had to die the day they had a fight. Of course he knew where Miss O’Neil lived, but he couldn’t just send Bebop and Rocksteady to go get Shredder. He didn’t sound like he was in any condition to come home just yet.
He had to make this right, he just had to. It couldn’t wait until morning. He redialed Shredder’s number into the com, waiting for the voicemail tone.
*beep*
Shredder, love it’s me. I’m so sorry I didn’t pick up sooner. My comm died this morning after you left and has been broken all day, I got all your messages just now. The fight this morning was my fault, not yours. My temper got the best of me and I snapped at you when I shouldn’t have. I am so sorry for what I said.
I don’t hate you, and never will. You didn’t ruin anything, I promise you didn’t ruin anything. I just want you to know I miss you and definitely will be giving Miss O’Neil instructions on bringing you home tomorrow. We- well we’ve all been worried about you today.
See you tomorrow morning, I promise to call again.
愛してるよ、サキ!
