The next day, Raph, Leo, and Splinter were sitting on the sofa in shock. Mikey had just filled them in on what he had found out the previous day.
"Are you saying that Donny's been at Chloe's the whole time and she never told us?" Raph asked cautiously.
"Chloe promised not to say anything," Mikey replied. "I found out because Donny came down to the living room where I Chloe sent me."
"We need to go get Donny right now," Raph declared.
"We need to respect Donny's wishes and right now he'll only see Mikey," Leo pointed out.
"Leonardo is correct," Splinter pointed out.
At the Calls' house, Donny was having breakfast with Chloe and her grandparents. They were having breakfast pizza and hot chocolate.
"Mikey came to see me yesterday," Donny said.
"How did it go?" Grandma Calls asked.
"Pretty good," Donny replied.
"He joined us in the pool yesterday," Grandpa Calls said.
"Sounds like all of us had a good time yesterday," Chloe said.
Back at the lair, Raph had just finished writing a note. He was on the way out when he was stopped by Mikey.
"Where are you going?" Mikey asked.
"I was going to give Chloe a letter to give to Donny," Raph replied.
"Donny doesn't want to see you."
"Chloe never said I couldn't see her."
Raph rushed out of the lair. Mikey decided to go to the entertainment area and play video games.
Raph was racing from rooftop to rooftop. He had just sent a text to Chloe asking her to meet him on the roof of her grandparents' house.
It took him about ten minutes to get there. When he did, Chloe was sitting near the roof door.
"I got your message," Chloe said.
"I know Donny doesn't want to see me but would you be able to give him this note?" Raph asked, pulling a white envelope out of his belt and holding it out to Chloe who accepted it.
"I'll give it to him but I can't promise he'll read it right away."
"The note inside will explain everything."
Chloe and Raph wrapped their arms around each other. Then they released each other and headed in separate directions.
Chloe went over to the room Donny was staying in and knocked on the door. A few moments later, Donny opened the door, let Chloe inside, and closed the door.
"Everything all right?" Donny asked with concern.
"Raph stopped by and handed me an envelope to give to you," Chloe replied, holding out the envelope which Donny accepted and then put on the bed.
"I'm not ready to read it yet."
"Not a problem. Any idea when Mikey will be here?"
"He just texted me and he's on his way."
"I'll be in the kitchen if you need me."
Donny nodded in agreement and Chloe left the room. He looked at his shell cell, saw that Mikey was due to come soon, put the envelope in his duffel bag, and left the room.
Mikey was racing across the rooftops. He was really excited about spending the day with Donny, Chloe, and Chloe's grandparents.
Just then, he saw an unconscious figure in the distance. When he saw that it was Raph, Mikey raced right over to his brother.
"Raph, please wake up," Mikey pleaded, his voice breaking. He leaned over and was relieved to hear that his brother was still breathing.
He got his shell cell out of his belt and speed dialed Leo who responded, "Mikey, how's Donny doing?"
"I don't know but Raph is injured," Mikey burst out and then broke down completely.
"Mikey, take a few deep breaths and let me know where you and Raph are," Leo instructed. Mikey took a few deep breaths and gave his eldest brother his and Raph's location.
Donny was sitting in the kitchen wondering what was taking Mikey so long. Just then, Chloe entered the room with a black bean taco pizza and a pitcher of cola.
"When is Mikey supposed to be here?" Chloe asked.
"He should've been here by now," Donny replied.
"Why don't you call him?" Chloe suggested.
"Good idea," Donny agreed. He got out his shell cell and dialed Mikey's number. "Mikey, where are you? I was expecting you to be here by now."
"Donny, it's Leo," Leo replied. "It's great to hear from you."
"Why are you using Mikey's phone?"
"Mikey's too upset to talk right now."
Donny was surprised to hear that. He was hoping that he didn't say anything to upset Mikey.
"What happened?" Donny inquired.
"Raph's been injured," Leo replied, his voice breaking. "Mikey found him on the roof unconscious on his way to see you."
Donny suddenly felt guilty about shutting his older brother out when he tried to call a couple weeks ago. He took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm on my way."
"Everything all right?" Chloe asked with concern once Donny hung up.
"That was Leo on the phone," Donny replied. "Mikey was too upset to talk since he found Raph injured on a roof. I need to get back to the lair as soon as possible."
"I'll go with you," Chloe insisted. Donny nodded in agreement and they left the living room to prepare to head back to the lair.
