Hungry Slider

Chapter 11- Progress

POV: Donnie

After Ralph's big freakout of Leo eating another turtle I finally got to testing. His physical body was doing average whereas his mental state seemed off. If I could just heal depression. Then it came to me. Pills! Why didn't I think of it before. It took some convincing but Leo took some pills ate some food and came to get some tests done. I found that over time his temptations began to vanish. April had come over for a bit to see the progress. She went on and on about how drugs are bad but they were working and that's what matters.

"Donnie you can't just use these forever" she said, snatching the orange bottle.

"Why not?" I ask spinning around to face her.

"You should know this"

"Enlighten me"

"After a while they won't work as well and them bam you and Ralph are dead"

I paused for a moment to consider this problem.

"I'm sure there's more stuff out there" I said, turning back to the motor I was building.

"Yes but they will be as useful as sand if you want Leo to live a full life," she said, raising her voice. I sighed.

"We both know that there are stronger doses and I'm working on something that's more permanent.

"What?" she asked.

"Brain surgery and the effect of ooze in small doses." I responded by finishing the motor.

"Brain surgery!?" exclaimed.

"Yes? Do you have a problem with that?" I asked spinning back to face her. She took a breath for a second and said.

"Explain in detail what you going to do to your brothers bain"

"I'm going to take pieces of Mikey's brain to replace the pieces of Leo's brain that killed him" I said, grabbing a chart to explain.

"But Leo ate all of Mikey but his bones. How will you get his brain for this?" she asked, genuinely confused. 

"One if Leo had eaten Mikey's brain he would be as dead as Mikey. Two I snatched the head before Leo went full psycho" I answered. She looked at me a little horrified.

"You just grabbed his...head" she asked, gagging at the end.

"Yeah of course I did if Leo ate it they would both die" I said as if it were obvious. She looked at me one more time and just crept out. As she left I looked down at the chart. I know Mikey's brain isn't enough but I guess I could but no! I need more and I would use mine but then I couldn't do the surgery.
