POV: Mikey

Donnie had told me to come to his lab at this time but as I sat outside his door he didn't show. This was unusual for him considering when he says a time it means that time. 9:26 the clock read before his door opened

"Sorry for being 26 minutes late" he said looking nervous

"It's ok bro we all have our off days" I said trying to cheer him up.

"What did you want to tell me?" I asked following him into the lab

"Do you remember the tests I did on Leo and Ralph about two years ago?" he asked, beginning to pace while snapping his fingers excessively

"No" I said confused

"But I was only eight at the time so you can't judge me"

"No judgment here, just wanted to know, '' he said, going up on his tiptoes and down onto his whole foot. He walked over to his desk and handed me a piece of paper.

"Read this in here and get me when you're done I will show you the results' ' he stammered running out of the room. I looked down at the paper and read,

"This is the Cannibal effect test. This measures how much the mutation affects a turtle's natural habit of eating each other, and how safe our local box turtle is. Who would be commonly eaten by other turtles, and how likely they are to attack. This test is measured from most concerning to least. The test is from zero to twenty. Every five represents a layer. Zero to five is no concern. Five to ten is average. Ten to fifteen is questionable and fifteen to twenty should be watched." I finished reading and left to take a minute. I didn't fully get it with my ten year old brain wiring but I got the jist.I Went up to Donnie's room and knocked on his door. The door swung open and the results were right in my face. They were too close to read so I tried to take them but when I grabbed them the door slammed shut. I looked down at the paper to see results that were mostly ok except for Leo's. Was Leo gonna eat me! I took a deep breath, he would never do that. I shoved the paper under the door and went off to bake something, maybe some brownies or a cake...
