Leo told them everything that happened last night. They were in denial. "It can't be! There's gotta be a mistake! Maybe we hit you harder than we thought!" Leo continued to sob. "I'm sorry guys, but it's true! I killed her and her cousins!
Raph didn't even talk to her! He black mailed her into dating me just so Mona can forgive him!" He started shaking. "What have I done?! I'm a monster! If I didn't go to the dance, maybe they'd still be alive!" Even though they were in shock and denial.
They were determined not to lose Leo over this. "Leo. Leo look at me." He looked at her. Tears were still falling down his face. "It wasn't your fault. You were tricked by them. You unintentionally saw the full moon.
As harsh as it seems, karma bit them in the ass. She couldn't see how wonderful and kind you are. So, what if you're a dork? We're dorky too. Raph is the worst brother ever. This is his fault! If he can't take responsibility for his actions, that's on him!
He can't blame you for everything!" She hugged him. Angel joined in. "Please Leo, don't let us lose you because of this unfortunate incident. We're your mermaid sisters. As lame as that sounds, it's true." Leo couldn't help but smile at that.
Leo nodded his head and wiped his tears away for the moment. "We'll help you through this but first, you need an alibi." "An alibi?" April nodded her head. "Yeah, you're the last person to see them alive. So, the police are going to get suspicious of you if we don't come up with one."
Leo got scared of the possibility of going to prison. After, going through their possibilities. None were strong enough to use. It was then Angel's brother knocked on the door. Leo hid under the bed before Angel opened it.
"Do you mind? Me and April are having some girl time." He rolled his eyes. "Tell that to the teacher at detention." She and April were confused. "What detention?" He got annoyed. "Don't you remember? You got Saturday detention for starting a food fight Tuesday."
She remembered now. "Oh shi-take mushrooms." She cursed as April elbowed her. Her brother laughed at her. He reminded her that she's gotta be there in an hour. When he left, Leo popped out of his hiding place.
"Oh man! What are we gonna do?!" Leo panicked more. It was then April got a great idea for an alibi. "Guys, I have a plan. But first, we need to sneak you out of here. Then all of us need to head to the school." She pointed at Leo. She borrowed some of Angel's clothes and got out of her dress.
They snuck Leo out of the house. They almost got caught but got lucky. They ran back to school very fast. After making sure no one was around, and no video cameras visible, they found it. They were in front of an equipment shed.
"April? What are we doing here?" She gladly explained. "You know how people get pranked by being locked in here?" It was then they understood. Leo's eyes brightened. "I get it now, if you lock me in here, and pretend I was here all night with no escape, I'll have an alibi."
"Exactly. Since it's Saturday morning, no one can say otherwise. Since, everyone's home on Saturdays." It was decided. Once they made sure the coast was clear again. Leo walked inside. They closed the door. The door only locks from the outside.
That's why it makes a good alibi. April was able to lock the door with morning dew on it. Now all that's left to do is get the detention teacher to open the door for them. Once they got to detention, they alerted the teacher about Leo being trapped in the shed.
The teacher heard Leo screaming for help. He checked to see that the door is indeed locked. He went to get the key. It took a few minutes to open it due to April freezing the door lock. Finally, Leo was free. After talking to the teacher, Leo's dad is to pick him up.
Leo had lost his phone. The teacher called him through the office phone. His dad was there in a jiffy. He hugged Leo relieved to see him okay. "My son, we were so worried. We called you but you never answered." Leo told him what happened through his alibi story.
His dad hugged him and urged for them to head home. His brothers are waiting for them. Sighing in relief, April also headed home. Angel still had detention much to her annoyance. During the ride home, Leo couldn't help but be angry with Raph.
When they made it home, his father suggested he take a shower before resting. It was then his brothers rushed to him. Mikey and Donny hugged him. Raph was about to hug Leo, when he gave him a right hook in the face. That shocked his brothers.
Raph was about to yell at Leo, but he yelled first. "You disgust me Raph! Do you know what I went through because you black mailed lotus?!" Raph's eyes widened at being found out. "I won't tell Mona anything, but if she finds out another way, it's your burden and your fault! Not mine!
The next time I like someone, you leave me the shell alone!" With that, he stomped to the bathroom. He hopped in the shower, crying again. He left his brothers stunned. Leo has never acted like this before.
Raph touched his cheek where Leo hit him. He throws a good punch. For the first time since this all started, Raph felt ashamed and guilty for what he's done. The feelings multiplied when Lotus and her cousins bodies were discovered next week.
Their bodies were floating in the water decomposing. Funeral services were held for them. The whole school went to pay their respects. Leo's brothers were sadder for Leo. Now an investigation will begin, for the search for the killer.
