Sorry for the wait, school and computer issues. Enjoy the chapter! Italics are mind speak.

Robin swam, grinning at Kaldur as they passed another reef.
Thanks again Kaldur. I've missed the ocean so much.
Kaldur laughed it's no problem, my friend. It is much more enjoyable with a friend.
Robin smiled and said hey, race you to the side of that cave!
You are on my friend. Kaldur began swimming towards the cave with Robin tightly on his tail. A harpoon suddenly flew past, leaving a deep gash on Robin's side. Kaldur and Robin both twisted to look at a scuba diver holding a harpoon gun that was missing a harpoon. Kaldur pulled out his water bearers as Robin swam towards the mouth of the cave at a newfound speed. Kaldur pointed his water bearers at the diver and flung him out of the water onto a rock. "Not a good idea to attack my friend while an atlantian is around." Kaldur growled.
"I was just getting you away from him. My partner is grabbing him now." The diver said.
Kaldur turned and dove into the water. He swam towards the cave, only to hear a motorboat driving away. He felt a sting on his neck, then nothing.

Kaldur woke up, dazed and confused. Robin. He remembered, spinning around in dizzy circles, looking for his friend. Nothing. He swam hurriedly back to Mount Justice and ran into the living room.
"Dude, where's Rob?" Wally asked, looking at Kaldur's worried expression.
"Gone." Kaldur replied.

Robin groggily woke up. He tried to move his arms, but found they were strapped down. He did the same thing with his tail, but it was strapped down too. There was a sun lamp shining on him and he could feel his energy leaving him. He had about four or five hours before he would die from dehydration and heat. A voice to his left said "Dry mermaid scales are very valuable. I wonder how much we'll get for a whole tail?" The voice of his parents' killer was the last thing he heard before passing out once again.
