I do seem to recall a conversation along those lines, actually. Huh. ah well, it doesn't matter. OH! Their usernames are CatGirl20043, Rock07, and LineUpToDIE. They're pretty cool! Maybe we could all be friends? Thanks for showing me this website, Mondo.

Mikey… these people don't live anywhere near you? How did you meet them? It's a standard rule of thumb not to friend anyone you don't know in person, or something like that. You remember those stupid assemblies we used to have, what if one of these guys turns out to be a creep?

They friend requested me, Mondo. It happens when people think you're cool. LOL jk I'm joshing you, you're awesome! All that happened was that the day after I filled out the profile they started friend requesting me! I was super hyped! And why do you think they could be creeps? Do any of those guys sound like creeps other than LineUpToDIE? No, they don't. I'm being careful, but I'm also just having fun. Maybe you should try it sometime?

Do you really wanna play that game? My brother knew someone once that got into some kind of online relationship and then they almost got kidnapped! Not kidding Mikey, I looked at those profiles and they don't seem like friendly people. Not like you and me. And I can have fun, just wait until I finish this huge jump I'm making. I'll send you a video once I finish. I really do think you should be more careful with the amount of people you friend. I saw you already gained like… six between yesterday and now. And maybe don't use your actual face as a profile, mines a gecko, and yours is your school picture. ? how do you even have a good SCHOOL picture? LOL you're a miracle worker, Mike.

Relax, Mondo, I'm not going to get kidnapped. Hardly anyone actually gets kidnapped and besides, they don't LIVE near enough to kidnap me! That's kinda the point of filling out the questions, right? I kinda feel attacked right now, are you like… worried I don't want to be your friend anymore? Because that's not it, I swear dude. Don't worry about us, we'll always be friends. :)

I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about YOU. We both know you aren't the brightest bulb, what are your brothers saying about all this? And despite what they say, people lie.

I don't really understand what's wrong with this, I've been messaging with CatGirl for a few days and she's pretty nice. I think you're just jealous, actually. Because I'm more popular than you are. And, did you really just call me an idiot? Because I know you didn't just call me an idiot. I get enough of that here, I don't need it online too! You're being so weird, Mondo. I wish you'd just relax and be happy that I have friends.

The best kind of cat would probably have to be the orange tabby kind. The one everyone and their mom names pumpkin?
The best place to pet a cat is anywhere that has a cat.
I would, but my brother Raph is really super allergic to cats. He can't come to our aunts house or he'll get hives. (as a coincidence, my aunt has two orange tabbies. One is named, you guessed it, Pumpkin. The other is Caramel.)

From: Likin' Mikin. likinmikin
To: CatGirl20034; catgirl20034
I'm SORRY I wasn't on Yesterday! My phone fell into the grate and then Donnie was hogging the computer, ugh. But now I have some computer time, and I'm gonna get a new phone on Friday so it's all good. I can't WAIT until tomorrow!
It's okay you aren't here today, you'll get this once you get somewhere with a signal. I didn't have much time anyway, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow night by the food trucks!
Part Three"Bye dad, I'll be back by next week!" Mikey called over his shoulder. He giggled at the look on his father's face. "I mean eleven, sheesh."
"Ah get outta here," Raph said, playfully shoving him to the door. "More fun without ya anyway." Mikey stuck out his tongue but was soon sliding down the fire escape. It was his favorite exit because no one else ever used it except Raph, and he always went up.
He jumped off at the bottom and wiped off his hands, then started through the crowd. He wanted to get to the park early, so he could see Jenn coming. This was going to be so cool! He'd never really gone on a date before either, so it was even cooler. She was such a good person, and it'd be even cooler to meet her in real life. Wouldn't it?
People can lie, Mike. She might not be who she says she is.
"Oh shut up Mondo," Mikey muttered unhappily, skipping over a crosswalk into the park. He lived opposite the zoo, but that was okay. He'd given himself plenty of time. Especially if he used shortcuts.
"Scuze me!" Mikey called as he dodged past people. "Sorry, coming through!" laughter followed him onto one of the less occupied paths then he picked up the pace, basically sprinting along it. Some pigeons squawked at him, but unlike Raphael, Mikey didn't have time to feed every bird he saw. The young boy giggled at that thought, stashing it away in his mind to use later. Raph would kill him, but it'd be worth it.
Mikey got to the food trucks ten minutes early, so he sat cross-legged on a bench to wait. His mind was buzzing, and not all with positive thoughts. What if she didn't come? What if something happened on her drive from Pennsylvania? What if she came and she didn't like him? Mikey bit his lip and tapped his fingers on his knee anxiously. That wasn't going to happen, of course it wasn't. Jenn was too cool for that, and he'd prove it.
Don't go see her, Mike.
"I said shut up Mondo," Mikey said, louder than intended and a passing couple looked at him strangely. He just giggled, rubbing the back of his neck. Whoops, he'd started talking to himself again. Well, not really himself. He'd been talking to someone, that someone just wasn't in this park or time zone.
Mikey checked his watch. Five minutes to go. He bounced up and down a bit, trying to calm himself down. Then he brushed his hair back, even though it hadn't changed from when he last checked it. This was going to be a blast! They'd probably become best friends immediately, even though they basically were best friends already. Mikey smirked at the thought, fiddling with his shoelace as he glanced around. Maybe she was going to get there right on time, or maybe she'd gotten stuck in traffic. Jenn never did say where he grandma's house was, just that it was nearby.
Suddenly, Mikey's eyes caught on a tall man walking through the crowd toward him, and he couldn't help but imagine his friends' voice.
Maybe it's some old guy who lives in a sewer drain!
Mikey shook the thought away, rolling his eyes. This was a public park, that guy was probably just going to throw something in the trash can. Besides, Jenn was real.
"Are you Mikey?" Mikey blinked in surprise when the very man he'd noticed stopped in front of him.
"Uh… yeah." he sat up straighter, tilting his head. This guy had brown hair and green eyes, maybe he was related to Jenn? "Who are you?"
"I'm Jenn's father." the man said, smiling as he held out his hand. Mikey stood up and shook it, glancing around.
"Where's Jenn?"
"Oh, she got held up in traffic on the way from the mall." the man said apologetically. "So instead I'm driving you to her grandma's house and she'll meet us there. Sound alright kiddo?" Mikey hesitated, feeling uneasy. But he remembered how much Jenn had wanted to meet him, and how excited he was.
"Yeah, that should be okay," he said, following the guy toward the street. "As long as I get back by eleven, we're good."
"Sounds great." the man said, pulling out a pair of keys. "If you don't mind sitting in the back, I have boxes in the front from the ride up."
"That's cool," Mikey said, feeling excited once more as he got into the vehicle the man had gestured to. He shut the door and put on his seatbelt as Jenn's father got into the driver's seat, started the car, and pulled onto the street.
"Want a water?" he asked, holding one back to Mikey. "You seem like you've been running." Mikey laughed nervously, accepting it but not drinking.
"Uh… yeah. I'm what some people say Hyperactive." he said, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling he got as they passed one street, then another, driving toward the highway. "Um… where exactly are we headed? I thought you guys were staying near the park."
"Just relax." the man said, not looking at him. "Take a sip of water, you sound nervous." Mikey narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly moving his hand for the door handle. He glanced around. There were no boxes in the front seat, and the cars turning signal was on. They were leaving Manhattan.
I'm telling you, DON'T GO!
Mondo was right, and Mikey was in trouble. He yanked on the handle, only for nothing to happen. Mikey's eyes widened and he shoved against it, rattling the handle furiously as they pulled onto the highway.
"Who are you?" He yelled, "let me go!"
"Child safety lock." the man said, all ounce of friendliness gone. "You won't get out." Mikey glanced at the water he was holding to see the seal was broken, there was probably drugs or something in there. "Take a drink, Michelangelo. It's going to be a long drive."
"LET ME GO!" Mikey yelled, slamming against the door with all his might. "Let me out of here now!"
"We're in the middle lane, no can do." the man said. Mikey felt tears burn his eyes. He was trapped. In a car. Heading who knows where. With a guy who had literally gotten away with what every kid was taught to watch out for. How could he be so stupid? Mikey leaned his forehead against the glass, gritting his teeth. He had no idea what he was going to do to get out of this mess, and he wasn't even sure he'd be able to.
Part FourMikey wasn't home by eleven. Raph knew because he stayed up until four in the morning, at which point Dad called the police. Something was wrong, Raph could feel it. He didn't like that feeling at all, not when it came to Mikey. He must have dozed off around three forty-five, but he couldn't be sure. All he knew was that someone shook him awake at seven. Mikey was still nowhere to be found.
Is favorite food truck vendors hadn't served him or his friend's dinner. None of the arcades Mikey went to had seen hide nor hair of him. The only lead they did have was someone who said they saw a kid who looked like Mikey get into a car with someone none of them recognized. That was enough to send Raphael in an all-out panic.
"Raph, stop it!" Leo and Donnie each grabbed one of his arms to stop Raph from breaking more holes in his bedroom wall. Five was enough, apparently. "You need to calm down. Mikey… he… well, I don't know. But we'll figure this out, I swear."
"How?" Raph asked bitterly. "How on earth are we supposed to figure this out?" neither brother had an answer, and apparently neither did anyone else.
They knew nothing, absolutely nothing as to where Mikey was or what happened to their youngest brother. Not until two days after he vanished. They were waiting for a phone call, and they got one. But after they heard what the person on the other end of the line had to say, Raphael wished they hadn't.
A body. They found a body.
Raphael hated the thought so much that it constantly ran through his head as if it wanted to break every fiber of his being. They had no idea what happened or who hurt Mikey…. Who killed him… and now they had to bury the youngest. Raph hated it. What he hated more, was telling Mikey's only and best friend what happened. He hated it so much, Dad had to hold him back from throwing the stupid computer out the window.
He hated that's all that was left of his brother.
A body.
it's perfectly normal to hate me right now. but please don't track me down and burn my house down, please. sorry, I did that to ya, but it was fun to write so there's that.
On another note, I'll be posting my new Multi-chapter fic on Tuesday July Tenth. its not a Human AU like my last few or so, but please be on teh lookout for it. the name's "Detached" and its Raphael centric.
Thank you for reading and please review!
Until next time,
