From bad to worse

"Oh my god! Don t say it s him!" Everyone inside the room focused at Wally. The team got even more feared by the shocked expression on Wallys face. A serious Speedster means really much trouble. After a few seconds they stared at Batman for his answer. The dark knight looked directly into Wallys eyes and nodded liminal. Robin is missing. Batman and the team try to rescue him.

Chapter 4 – track search

„It´s not him! It´s not him! It´s not him!"

Kaldur, Superboy and Artemis came in when he finished the sentence for the third time. All of them approached to the body in the middle that Batman was still holding in his arms. It was a teenager with black hair and a similar figure like Robin. He was dead! Somebody had put Robins cape and the utility belt with the tracker around the boy. Everybody was deeply shocked. A guy that arranged such a cruel scene just to shock the Dark Knight was a real dangerous criminal. What will this Tony Zucco do to their little bird? And how can they find him now without the tracker in his utility belt?

Batman put the dead body down on the ground and raised himself. He tried to blind out the feelings he had felt a minute ago and concentrate again. Dick needed him, he had to stay focused and proof that he was the world greatest detective. The Dark Knight scanned the room to look for hints or a track. He went to the door to start his search. The team was no help at the moment because all of them were too distraught. Each one would need therapy lessons with Black Canary after that mission. They had never been through such a terrible experience before.

Megan had cut the mind link because she wasn´t able to handle all these strong feelings in her head. She sat down next to Artemis and both girls gazed horrified at the crimson liquid on the floor. Wally had turned away from the scene and was busy controlling his breath and stomach again. Superboy stood next to the puddle of blood and wasn´t able to move a bit. Kaldur found a blanket in a box and brought it to cover the dead boy. He didn´t want to watch the lifeless body any longer und also wanted to protect the rest of the team from further pain. The moment he wanted to hide the corpse he recognized a little memory stick on the ground covered with blood. "Batman, I think I found something!"

Immediately the Dark Knight bolt to Kaldurs side and directed his look to the ground. Why hadn´t he detected the hint earlier. He would never forgive himself when Dick will die because of his slackness. He grabbed the stick and stood up rapidly. "Go to the bio-ship! Hurry up!"
