Chapter 7: Know Thy Enemy

A/N: And here's another chapter just as I promised. I'm really having fun with this series and writing about the Turtles like this. Thanks to all of those who have read and reviewed thus far. Your kind words have been awesome, and I hope you enjoy what else I'm going to bring you.

Donatello scanned his computer screen and smiled. He had finally hacked into the records for the Crestwood Mental Facility where Robyn had been. He looked up Robyn's record and saw who had been her roommates. He printed out the list and went to the living room.

"What's up, Donnie?" Leo asked him.

"I managed to find Robyn's roommates," he answered. "She had five while she stayed at Crestwood. I searched for them on MyFace and saw that two of her roommates, Ivy Jones and Serena Tanner, have accounts."

"Okay, so two mental patients have accounts on some dumb social media site," Raph scoffed. "What's your point?"

"My point is that I'm going to create an account and see if I can talk to them," Don replied. "Maybe they'll tell me more about Robyn and how she acted at Crestwood."

"Donnie, that's not a good idea," Mikey warned him. "I learned that when I befriended a guy who worked for Shredder and tried to find our Lair, remember?"

"That was completely different," Don reminded him. "You actually went to meet him while I will just be talking to them online. It's the perfect plan."

"Oh, sure, a brilliant plan until something goes wrong," Raph said, rolling his eyes.

"I think it's a good idea, Donnie, but you should still be careful," Leo cautioned him.

"Don't worry, Leo, I know what I'm doing," Don reassured him. "I think I'll talk to Ivy since she's the one who was there the longest with Robyn. She probably knows the most information on Robyn."

"Wow, Donnie, I never thought I'd say this, but you're losin' it," Raph said. "Do you really think this crazy chick is gonna trust you enough to spill her guts about her roommate?"

"I think I can make it work," Don told him. "Look, I know you think this isn't a good idea, but it' the only plan we have so far."

"Maybe we could bring up Serena and Ivy when we talk to Lynn," Mikey suggested. "If she's really Robyn, she'll know who we're talking about and spill the beans."

"That's a good idea, Mikey, but she might avoid the question or say she doesn't know who we're talking about," Leo told him. "I say we let Donnie do his thing and go from there."

"What do you think about all of this, Mr. O'Neil and Master Splinter?" asked Don. Even though he was an adult, Don still felt the need to ask his father's opinion on the matter. Plus, he was fishing for information on Kirby's daughter, so it was only wise that he ask for Kirby's opinion as well.

"I think it's a fine idea," Kirby replied. "We need to know the truth and this is the best way to get it."

"I also believe it is a good idea," Splinter answered. "I trust your judgment, Donatello, and I know you will do all you can to put this matter to rest."

"Thank you, Mr. O'Neil, and thank you, Sensei. I'll do my best."

And so, Don set to work. He set up a MyFace account and sent Ivy a message that he was a friend of the O'Neil family and wanted to talk to her about Robyn. At first, he didn't hear from her and was worried she wasn't going to talk to him. Then he received a message from her saying that she wanted to talk to him that night. Excitement coursed within him as he read the message. This was the best thing that had ever happened to him. They were finally getting closer to solving this mystery.

When it was time for him to chat with Ivy, Don sat at the computer waiting to get a message that Ivy was online. He started to think this was a trick and that she wasn't coming on, but then she appeared.

Poison Ivy: Don, are you there?

Donnie T: Yeah, I'm here. I like the screen name. Are you a Batman fan?

Poison Ivy: Nah, some of the patients called me that because of how I was like poison trying to worm my way into everyone's group, and the name stuck. I was always very conniving and loved to play pranks on everyone, too.

Don thought she was definitely a friend of Robyn if she was conniving which made him nervous.

Donnie T: Yeah, my brother loves to play pranks on us. He calls himself Dr. Prankenstein.

Poison Ivy: Has he ever fake friended anyone?

Donnie T: What's that?

Poison Ivy: That's where you trick someone into thinking you're their friend. Then as soon as you earn their trust, you have your weapon to turn against them such as a secret they've told you or something like that.

Don was amazed at what she'd told him. She definitely sounded like a manipulative person, so it made sense that Robyn was friends with her.

Poison Ivy: So has your brother done that?

Donnie T: No, not at all.

Poison Ivy: Oh, I see. Well I was awesome at it.

Donnie T: Did Robyn do it, too?

Poison Ivy: Oh, yeah, she was the best at it. How do you know Robyn?

Donnie T: My brothers and I were friends with her sister April. When April disappeared, we didn't know if she was coming back. After her body was found, her father introduced us to Robyn. We became friends with her thinking that everything was going to be okay. Then she tried to kill us in the antique store after she revealed that she had killed April.

Poison Ivy: Wait, that was you? I heard about the fire on the news and heard that Robyn was involved, but they never said anyone else was involved in the fire. They made it sound like Robyn was trying to kill herself or something.

Donnie T: Well, she wanted to kill us instead. But my brothers and I believe that she's still out there.

Poison Ivy: Why would you think that?

Donnie T: Well, before April's body was discovered, we were receiving text messages from someone named A and thought they were from April because they talked about things that only she knew about.

Poison Ivy: Like what?

Donnie T: Just friends stuff that we'd tell her. But after her body was found, we knew she wasn't sending the notes. Then before Robyn attempted to kill us, she confessed that she was the one who sent us those messages and that she'd found April's journal filled with all of the secrets we'd told her. Recently, we've gotten texts from A again, and we met a girl who has the same color eyes as both Robyn and April, but she has darker hair.

Poison Ivy: It could be a coincidence.

Donnie T: I don't think it is. Did Robyn ever talk about being someone else?

Poison Ivy: Yeah, sometimes. She always said she hated being a twin and wanted her own identity. She would talk about dying her hair and changing her name.

Don gasped as he read those words. This was definitely a breakthrough in the case.

Donnie T: Did she ever tell you what name she'd change to?

Poison Ivy: Nope, but that doesn't mean she never thought of a name. She just never shared it with anyone.

Don's heart sank at the possibility that Lynn wasn't Robyn. If that was the case, then all of this work was for nothing. Then again, they still didn't know for sure and would have to find out on their own from Lynn herself.

Poison Ivy: Donnie, you still there?

Donnie T: Yeah, I'm here.

Poison Ivy: So what do you think?

Donnie T: I'm not sure what to think. I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves.

Poison Ivy: Good luck with that. Well, I'd better go. It was nice talking to you, Donnie. Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Donnie T: Yeah, I'd like that. Talk to you later.

Poison Ivy: Later.

After he signed off, Don sat there, thinking about what Ivy had said. Robyn had talked about changing her name, but she never talked about what name she'd choose to anyone else. But what if she had told Ivy and had asked Ivy not to tell anyone? After all, Ivy was one of Robyn's best friends. Best friends always kept secrets for one another.

His thoughts were interrupted when his T-Phone went off. He thought that maybe it was Irma texting to see how he was enjoying his vacation. But as he read the text, he realized it wasn't from Irma at all.

Making new friends, aren't we, Donnie? I wonder what your family would think if their little genius were to suddenly disappear? I'm giving you one last warning. Mind your business or else.—A.

A/N: And that's the end of that chapter. So they're closer to finding out the truth, but it may not be what they want it to be. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I had so much fun writing the conversation between Ivy and Don. Feel free to leave a review and have a shelltastic day.
