WILBUR'S POV

September 27, 2039

Four more students from Todayland University have disappeared since my first day of junior year. Jeanette, the first to go missing, was still nowhere to be found. Now the police sentries from Robinson Industries were on duty at the University. Even my dad went over to the University to ask professors about what they knew about the missing students. Students who were majoring in forensics or criminal justice or law were forbidden to join in on the search for the five missing students under my dad's orders. Outside of that, school continued on as normal.

Luckily for Todayland High School, no one went missing yet. As much as I dread going to school, I care about what happens. After what had happened in my life the past three years, I would cry if someone were to be kidnapped or hurt. Karena was already crying after the third student from Todayland University went missing. I tried to comfort her many times, even though my getting the job at Futureburgers wasn't good news enough for her.

Today, after Karr called Denny's to request a day off, we were sitting in my room trying to decide what or who could possibly carry out the responsibility for the students missing.

"Do you know anybody in the University who is...you know," I paused, rubbing my neck on my bed. "Crazy?"

"Not the mental kind of crazy," Karr answered while sniffing. "I don't know of anyone who would do such a thing, like kidnap students who are learning for their careers."

"Outside of Rachel and Shredder and Karai."

"I'm pretty sure they're still in their prisons around the globe," the brunette replied. "I don't know, Will...I just want to investigate."

"No," I said in my stern voice. "My dad specifically said that no student of Todayland University is to investigate the disappearances."

"I know, but I can't help it."

"All we can do, sweetheart, is wait." I kissed my girlfriend in the head as I made the statement. "You'll see them again, I promise."

"Wilbur, I don't even know those people, and yet I feel sorry for them."

"It's gonna be okay." I continued to sooth my girlfriend as she buried her head onto my chest and under my chin. I decided to turn on the radio to hear if there was any news about the missing students.

"Breaking news from the Land of Today. Two more people have disappeared out of sight." I closed my eyes in sadness. "Todayland University sophomore Denise Taylor and Professor Kenneth Roberts have both last been seen in room U-2034 at the university. The room is now off limits to students and will only be accessed by authorized personnel."

"Well, there goes my biology class," Karr said.

"Why?"

"It's a lab class, and that room is where I do my labs," she explained.

"I feel terrible for Denise," I said with sadness as Karr looked up into my brown eyes.

"Why?"

"I knew her from freshman year," I answered. "She was one of the few people who supported me to try out for color guard."

"Oh I hope she'll be okay," my girlfriend replied.

A few days later...

"Hey, Karr."

"Hey."

"So what's going to happen about your biology class?" I was in bed after school talking on the phone with my girlfriend.

"It's cancelled because we were supposed to use that laboratory. It was a lab class."

"So will you get credit for it?" I asked.

"No. Fortunately, it's the only science class I have left to take. There's always next semester. If the lab is closed next semester and I don't get a different lab, then I have to take it during summer."

"Yikes."

"Well, I gotta go back to work. I love you, honey."

"I love you, too. Be safe."

I hung up the phone and got off the bed onto the platform. I lowered to the first floor and walked over to the lab to find my dad working on some sort of project.

"Hey Dad, can we talk?"

"Sure Wilbur." My dad put his project down on the table and took his goggles off as he turned around in his chair with a smile. "What's on your mind?"

"What do you think is causing all of these disappearances?" I asked after a sigh escaped my mouth. My blonde father pondered the question with a hand on his chin for about a few minutes.

"I really don't know, Wilbur," he finally answered. "It's possible that we do have another kidnapper in Todayland, or it could be a mystical force."

"Dad," I replied with a confused look on my face. "I thought you didn't believe in myths."

"Well...no." My dad stood up and placed a hand on my shoulder. "But the one thing you should always do, Wilbur, is to open your mind to many possibilities. Like I said earlier, there could actually be a kidnapper, one of the prisoners in Asia could've escaped, or it could be a natural force. Really, it could be anything."

"Karr doesn't think it's any of the prisoners in Asia."

"Let's pray she's right," my dad replied. "But promise me you or Karena won't investigate all of these disappearances."

"I can't say that about myself, but I'll protect Karena in any way possible."

"I'm serious, Wilbur James Cornelius. I don't know what I'd do if I found out you disappeared."

"Don't worry, Dad," I assured him, now placing my hand on his shoulder. "It's under control."

"Dr. Hamato speaking."

"Hey, Donnie. It's Wilbur."

"Well hi there, Wilbur!"

"Sorry to interrupt your work," I said to the genius turtle over the phone in New York. "But I have a question for you."

"Personally, you made my day," Donatello replied. "I could use a break from the search."

"Search?" I asked in shock and horror. "Did Lilli get kidnapped again?"

"Thank the Lord, no. Lilli's safe and sound with her mother. I've been searching for this parasitic wasp that I've kept since 2013."

"A wasp that's still alive after 26 years?" I asked.

"This is no joke, Wilbur!" Donnie exclaimed. "This wasp is a mutant one. I've been keeping one of the hatchlings from that Kraang lab after what almost happened to me and my brothers...that is after Mikey saved us. But now its gone! I can't find it anywhere!"

"I doubt that there is a...mutant wasp...here in Todayland," I said uneasily. "But if in the 5% chance that I do find the wasp, my dad and I will keep it locked and let you know."

"Thanks Wilbur. Now what was it that you were gonna ask?"

"Are Shredder and Karai still in their prisons?" I asked.

"We would be the first ones to know if they were to escape," Don answered. "But no, they haven't escaped."

"Well, that's a relief."

"Why do you wanna know?"

"There have been some kidnappings at the school Karena goes to. We didn't think it was Shredder or Karai, but I wanted to make sure."

"Wow...I hope they'll be found soon."

"My dad's already on the job," I replied.

"Well, I gotta get back to work. I'll talk to you later. It was nice talking to you."

"It was nice talking to you, too."

I hung up the phone, feeling somewhat at peace. But I was troubled at Don mentioning a parasitic wasp. I laid down on the bed, hoping Karena will have info about this wasp.
