Disappearing Girls
Chapter 10: One of Our Own
"Hey, anyone see Artemis?" Megan asked as she sat down at the table the next day.
A choirs of no's reached her ears.
"Well, maybe she's in the library or in lunch detention or something." Rocket tried to calm Miss Martian.
"Yeah…maybe…" Megan muttered, but she couldn't shake the bad feeling that developed in the bottom of her stomach.
oooOOooo
"Did I tell you you'd love this or what?" Michelle laughed and lightly punched Artemis's arm.
"Heck yeah!" Artemis smiled.
Michelle and her were currently skipping school to go around the town and have fun.
"So there's this really cool burger joint on the corner of third and tenth. I was thinking we could get some burgers and milkshakes and then hit a few shops." Michelle said.
"Okay!" Artemis smiled.
oooOOooo
"Guys, I'm REALLY worried about Artemis." Megan said.
"What about Artemis?" Dixie asked as she sat down.
"No one has seen Artemis since she was dropped off this morning." Megan explained the situation.
Dixie grimaced and pulled out his phone.
She started tapping away at it.
"Here look. Artemis skipped and went with a friend somewhere." Dixie said and showed them all the screen.
Megan gasped, "But that's against the rules!"
"Yeah, and so is this Michelle person. She has quite the record for tardiness, rudeness, and skipping classes." Dixie said.
"So, she's very bad!" Megan frowned.
"While it isn't good that they are both skipping, it's also good that Artemis didn't get mixed up with drug users or worse." Dixie said.
"Should we say something to Artemis when we see her next?" Rocket asked.
"Yeah, just ask where she was though. If she admits to skipping, then we can say something like, don't skip classes. You know how stubborn Artemis is. She most likely won't respond with force." Dixie said.
"Okay, but I still have a bad feeling about this." Megan said.
"What are you going to do? Skip class to find them and drag them back here? That won't work and you'll only get into trouble yourself." Dixie said.
Megan frowned, "I know, but I just…I feel uneasy about this."
"It's okay Megan, she'll be back by the end of the school day so she can be picked up." Rocket said.
Megan still frowned though.
oooOOooo
Artemis and Michelle finished eating and paid the bill.
"MAN was that good!" Artemis smiled and stretched.
"Yeah! Told 'ya it was the best!" Michelle smiled.
"Okay, so what shops do you want to go to?" Artemis asked.
"Well there are a few. I wanted to go to Spice Clothing, on fourth street, and then to Kernel's Game Store, on tenth, and then finally Bat's Gothic Shop, on A Street." Michelle said.
"Cool. Didn't know this place had a gothic shop." Artemis said.
"Yeah, I know the owners personally, so it's cool." Michelle smirked.
oooOOooo
"They're going to pull it close, aren't they?" Rocket asked looking at the clock.
"They have two hours to get here. Plenty of time." Dixie said.
But inside, Dixie started to get nervous.
oooOOooo
Michelle and Artemis were carrying a bag each and walking back towards the school.
Suddenly, they both heard screeching of tires.
They both looked behind them only to find a car on the sidewalk heading straight for them!
Artemis grabbed Michelle's arm and threw the both of them into an alley.
The car stopped to the right of the alley entrance.
The car was actually a large white van with no license plates or anything to track it.
The two doors on the back of the van popped open and two figures popped out.
One adult and one teen.
oooOOooo
The final bell rang, marking the end of the school day.
"Still no sign of Artemis or Michelle?" Megan asked.
All the girls and Dixie were at Dixie's locker.
"Nothing. I thought that they'd be back by now." Dixie said.
"How are we going to explain this to Black Canary and Green Arrow?" Megan asked worried.
"I don't know, but we better think of something quick." Rocket said and nodded to two figures coming their way.
oooOOooo
The two people swung and kicked at Michelle and Artemis like crazy.
"Why are you trying to kidnap us?" Artemis yelled.
"They're crazy, that's why!" Michelle screamed and hit the teen on his head.
Artemis looked at her for a split second, and that was all the time the guy needed.
He hit her and knocked her to the ground.
Michelle was soon unconscious and was being dragged to the van.
Artemis was kicked again over and over.
'Hope this works.' Artemis thought as she broke her bracelet.
An S.O.S. signal was sent out just as Artemis fell into unconsciousness.
oooOOooo
"Hey where's Artemis?" Black Canary asked as she approached the group.
They all looked at each other and then Rocket stepped up.
"She went with a friend to-" Rocket was cut off by a sharp, loud bing.
Black Canary, Green Arrow, and Dixie all pulled out their phones.
"Artemis activated her S.O.S. signal! Let's go!" Black Canary said and took off to get to said signal.
The rest of the girls looked at Dixie's phone in horror.
Then, they ran off to go help.
