She asks them who they are before they leave, and claim to be " Ninja Mutant Turtle Teenagers". They discover her and delete the camera images however, and tell her not to tell anyone of their existence or they will personally find her. She manages to spot them climbing atop the rooftop however, and tries to take a picture of them with her camera to prove to her co-workers they are real.
