"Did you find out why Chloe was severely injured?" Leo asked gently.

"Remember when I mentioned hearing about Eugene?" Donny asked while hiccupping.

"I do."

"He used a vehicle with a wrecking ball to wreck the computer store to get his revenge for being fired. Gary, who works in the electronics department, tried to get Chloe out in time but the wrecking ball ended up getting her and she ended up unconscious."

Leo tightened his hold on his brother who did the same. Just then, Mikey and Raph entered the room.

"Everything OK?" Mikey asked with concern.

"No, it's not," Leo said and allowed Mikey to gather Donny in his arms.

"What's going on?" Raph demanded. "Donny doesn't get upset for no reason."

"Eugene wrecked the computer store with a wrecking ball and it got Chloe," Leo explained gently, knowing that Raph had a soft spot for Chloe. "She got severely injured and she's been taken to the hospital."

"Eugene is so dead meat," Raph growled. "No one hurts Chloe and gets away with it."

"Why would Eugene do something like this?" Mikey asked while tightening his hold on Donny who returned the gesture and buried his face in Mikey's shoulder.

"He wanted his revenge on Mr. Stapleman because he fired him for discrimination," Donny explained while hiccupping. "He used a vehicle with a wrecking ball to destroy the store as payback."

"I don't get why he chose to wreck the store during the day when it would be open instead of at night when the store would be closed," Leo said in confusion. "He put everyone who was in the store at the time in danger."

"Mr. Stapleman said that Eugene was arrested," Donny said and released Mikey.

"I HOPE HE ROTS IN PRISON!" Raph exploded. "CHLOE DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE INJURED LIKE THAT!"

Leo put an arm around Raph who was unable to stop the floodgates from opening. The two of them wrapped their arms around each other and squeezed tightly.


Later that night, Donny and Raph headed over to the hospital. They got in through the window.

Both of them were shocked when they saw Chloe. She was hooked up to an IV along with several other machines.

Donny and Raph went over to Chloe who was unconscious. They joined hands with each other and with Chloe.

Both turtles spent the next half hour talking to Chloe. Even after they released her hands, she was still unconscious.

Donny and Raph went back out the window. Then they climbed into the Battle Shell, closed the door, and got into their seats.

"You OK?" Raph asked with concern.

"I just hope our talking to Chloe helped a bit," Donny replied.

"Remember when a wrecking ball got me?"

"You mean when you took a blow to the head that was meant for Leo?"

"That's what I mean."

"I remember that you acted very impulsively for about a day or so after you woke up."

"You think Chloe will end up like that?"

"I'm not sure but I hope she stays the same type of person she's been since we met her."

"Why don't we head home for now?"

"Sure."

Donny started the engine. Then the Battle Shell took off.


Leo and Mikey were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Just then, Donny and Raph entered the room and joined them.

"How's Chloe?" Mikey asked.

"Still unconscious," Raph replied.

"Any chance we could sleep in here tonight?" Donny asked.

"I don't see any reason why we can't," Leo replied.

The turtles got the air mattress, blew it up, and put sheets on it. Then they got under the covers.

"How are you holding up?" Leo asked Donny.

"I'm hanging in there," Donny replied.

"We're here if you need to talk or anything," Mikey said.

"That goes for all of us," Raph said.

The turtles snuggled up together. Then they fell asleep.


Meanwhile, Eugene was sitting on a cot in a holding cell. He found out from his lawyer that he was being charged with vandalism, unauthorized demolition, carrying out a threat of revenge, and endangering the lives of others.
