[Leo watches for a moment longer, his heartbeat slowly fading in his ears the longer they go without someone coming down the sidewalk. Cars are still speeding through the streets, cutting through long puddles and sending jets of spray into the air, but there's no way they can see him and Raph in the alley with how fast they're going.]
[He also can't see any street signs from here. But for now, at least, he thinks they're safe.]
[Releasing a breath he hadn't been aware he'd been holding, Leo squirms his way back into the alley, coming up to examine his brother's work. He's right; there's some food, but it's spoiled beyond usage. And the rest of the garbage is made up of beer bottles, cigarettes, plastic wrappers, and who-knows-what-else.]
[Leo's brow creases in worry. He's trying not to let it show, but... he's starting to run out of ideas.]
Well... sometimes we have to visit more than one alley before we find anything useful. [Sometimes they never find anything at all, but he's not gonna tell Raph that.]
