Leo let out a groan. The throbbing in his head was nothing compared to the ache in his heart. He felt a gentle hand place a cool washrag on his forehead. Who's doing that? Leo blinked open his eyes and saw Donnie's worried face leaning over him. Before he could notice his older brother awake again, he turned and went back to his computer. Leo looked around for a few moments before he turned back to his younger brother, who was still messing around on his computer.

"D-Donnie?"

His voice sounded small and weak, yet Donnie whipped around at the sound.

"Leo!"

Donnie's face broke into a wide smile.

"W-what happened?"

"We don't know, after we found the dent in the ground and Mikey's mask, Raph and I started crying and fell. You jumped into a tree and sat down, staring at the mask. After that I don't know, I just remember crashing and grunting. Finding you under that tree was the hardest part."

At those words, those three little words, it all came flooding back to Leo. Under that tree. How could those three little words cause the ache in his heart to grow stronger? His memories to grow more painful? Mikey.

"Where's Mikey?"

Leo asked cautiously. Donnie stared at him.

"Oh shell, you don't remember? Wow that concussion must be worse than I thought."

"He's still gone?"

Leo's voice was filled with disbelief and pain.

"Yeah, he is. I'm so sorry Leo."

Donnie whispered softly.

"D-do you remember how you fell out of the tree?"

Donnie asked. Leo stared at him for a moment before answering.

"I-I think Mikey hit me over the head with a branch.'

Donnie stared at Leo, dumbstruck.

"Where's Raph? I want to talk to him."

Donnie was still staring at Leo like he had fallen from the sky.

"Hmm? Oh, we found a raccoon in the kitchen. He's taking it back to the forest."

Donnie finally tore his gaze from his eldest brother and glanced at the clock.

"That was twenty minutes ago though. I don't know what's taking him so long."

At those words Leo's stomach filled with dread. He glanced at the door.

"What's wrong Leo?"

Donnie asked him anxiously. Leo looked back at his younger brother.

"I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not good."
