Mikey's call echoed off the empty house walls. Leo and Raph ran up the stairs at their little brothers call. April and Donnie walked to Livi's parents room. Mikey was staring wide-eyed at a piece of paper.
"Who? What happened?" Leo asked, kneeling down to look at the piece of paper in Mikey's grasp.
Leo's eyes met Donnies', "Check this out Donnie, is this who I think it is?"
Donnie looked at the symbols on the old page.

Donnie stiffened, "I think this is the work of Kraang..."
Raph pushed his brothers out of the way and studied the piece of paper more carefully, "Ya' think?! Of course this is Kraang!"
April picked up the scrapbook and paged through it slowly, "You might want to check this out, guys."

A/N: Please ignore the tmnt title thing in the top left of the photo

Mikey, Leo, Donnie and Raph looked at the sketch of the Kraangdroid in the scrapbook.
"So-o, let-t me ge-et this s-straight, your-r frien-nd is obsessed wit-th Kraang-g and then-n she gets mysteriously m-murdered?" Donnie stammered. Before April could answer, Raph interrupted.
"Looks like it! Case closed, let's go home." he grunted getting up and heading for the window.
"Come on Raph! We have to find out why Livi knows about all this. We only solved half of the mystery!" Mikey clasped his hand over his hot-tempered brother's shoulder. Raphael knew that they hadn't solved the mystery completely yet, but to be honest, murder mysteries creeped out Raph a whole lot. He wanted to get outta there as soon as possible.
"Fine." Raph's shoulders hunched over. Meanwhile, Donnie was telling Leo about the things he and April found out.
"So we need to take Livi's body and her laptop back to the lair for better investigation." he said in-a-matter-of-factly.
Leo thought for a minute, "Yes, we must leave a note saying that Livi committed suicide."
"Why must we do that?" Mikey asked.
"Livi's parents will soon come home to see their daughter missing. To prevent them from intervening and looking for their child, we need to leave a note saying that she committed suicide and why." Leo reasoned.
"Man Leo! You're good at this stuff!" Mikey was grinning from ear to ear. Leo gave him a small smile.
"One more thing- Mikey you must drink some milk for us." the leader said.
"Why?" Mikey asked quizzically.
"I asked him the same question, just roll with it." Raphael folded his arms. The turtles and April walked downstairs.

Mikey grimaced at the milk on the table, he knew there was no other way to get himself out of this. His brothers and April stood next to him, waiting in anticipation. Mikey picked up the cup and drew in a sip, very carefully and slowly. Scrunching up his nose and eyes, he waited for the sour tang of the milk to hit his taste buds, but thankfully, nothing happened. It tasted pretty good actually. Mikey grinned and took four more gulps of the milk, "Mmmmmmm...."
"How does it taste?" April asked.
"Delicious!"
"So it's fresh?" Donnie frowned.
"Yup." Mikey answered, although it was muffled as he took another gulp of the milk.
"Umm... Leo you know what that means...." Donnie said.
"That means that they were here recently, and that they can come home at any seco-"
The front door handle clicked as someone tried to get in. The turtles froze in shock, staring at the door slowly open in horror. Leo hid behind the counter and dragged Raph and Donnie with him, but Mikey was frozen to the spot.
"Come on Mikey!" Leo hissed. But the door was fully open as a young teenage girl walked in with a phone to her ear.
"Yes, yes mom. I'm fine to stay here for the rest of the day. I'm sure Livi and I can handle the house for ourselves for a bit. Bye." the girl kicked the door closed and hanged her bag on a armchair. She put the phone down. The girl froze as she saw April and Mikey.
"Eeek! Giant turtle!" She screamed as she hid behind the armchair.
Mikey shook himself out a bit and smiled, "Hi I'm Mikey! Please don't be scared! We can be friends!"
The girl hesitantly came out of hiding with a closed umbrella in her hands, "Stay back! And who are you?" she signaled to April.
"Oh, I-I'm April-l and I'm here-e to study with Lizi-i..." April stammered. The girl nodded thoughtfully and faced Mikey with the umbrella in hand, "Why is there a freaky turtle thing with weapons in my kitchen?"
Mikey smiled sheepishly, "Oh, don't worry I'm friendly! I won't hurt ya'. Although Raph might."
"What's a Raph?" The girl asked, still frightened of Mikey and keeping her guard up.
"This is Raph." Mikey reached behind the kitchen counter and pulled out Raphael. Raph was burning with anger and embarrassment. How dumb could Mikey be?! Introduce them to the stranger? I mean-who does that?! he thought angrily. Raph frowned at the girl. She frowned back.
"Ok, are there more of you?" She asked Mikey.
"No, it's just me and Mik-" Raph was cut-off by his over enthusiastic brother.
"Of course there is!" Mikey attempted to reach out for Donnie, but Donnie dodged his little brothers reaching hand. Unable to wait any longer, the girl walked over to the kitchen to see who else was behind the counter. Leo and Donnie held their breaths.
