At the beginning Barbara had been mad thinking that Helena had her mic off
as usually, but after several hours with out notices about her, she was
really worried. The last time that she had talked with her was that
afternoon. She had disappeared after she left her work in the bar, Leonard
said that she had been there until 8 PM. She looked at the watch again,
was it 3 AM. Dinah walked inside the lab after a long night looking for
Helena. Barbara turned to see her.
"Did you investigate the man that gave the false alarm in 911?"
Dinah was sad. "Yes, the police said it was a bad joke. I talked with the watchman, he said he found a girl with short hair, black clothes and a short coat in the street, he couldn't see her well, it was dark, she was alive but hurt but it fits Huntress' description. She fell from a high floor as a man that was with her explained. The man had blond hair and was as tall as Jean-Paul, but could be anybody. When the watchman came back later, they had disappeared. If he were playing a joke he wouldn't give the address where he works."
A shadow covered Barbara's face, she leaned in her chair and took a deep breath.
Dinah showed her two plastic bags. "I found this, he didn't lie"
"What is that?"
"I looked around, I found blood in the sidewalk, not much, but I picked it up, I found some glass, from a car window: Maybe we can know which kind of car it is" Dinah connected her scan to the computer and opened a window to show the pictures to Barbara "I took some pictures, look, some canopies of the buildings windows, are broken."
".As if something heavy fell and broke it." Barbara bit her nail nervously.
"Yes. I went to the rooftop I found these." Dinah took off two plastic bags more "Another sample of blood, but this time was so much. And many bullet caseings, I bring someone. She would be hurt with a bullet, and because of the blood in the rooftop. was a very big wound."
Barbara swallowed. "I'll begin to do an analysis of the blood, while you contact Jean-Paul and asked him if he could talk with Huntress. I know is late but it's important. When you finish analyze the bullet cases and the glasses. I'll be back." Barbara wheeled to the laboratory

Huntress woke up slowly, she was in a small room, only a small lamp in the ceiling. She was in a bed tied with her hands behind her back. She felt a hand cleaning her face, was a younger man was sat in front of her. She moved and groaned lightly, her head hurt.
"Yes, I couldn't talk with her" the man was talking by phone. He smiled looking the confusion expression in Huntress' face. "I was waiting for her but she never arrived. I really need talk with her. Dinah, if you see her, please tell her that is urgent. And if she called me, I let you know. Bye." he hung up his mobile "Well, well, you are awake. How are you?"
"Who are you?" She couldn't understand what was happening. She tried to remember something but she couldn't, and that scared her.
"Don't you remember me?" he leaned over her.
"No. Where am I?" she moved her head back.
."First tell me who are you." He took some gauzes and an alcohol bottle off the table.
"Me?" Huntress swallowed, she tried to remember but she couldn't, her mind was a big white page "I. I don't know."
"You don't know." He joked and sat in the bed, he tried to touch her head and she moved it back "Easy girl, easy, I'm trying to heal your head wound, don't move."
"Who are you?... Why am I tied?"
"I needed be sure." he smiled. "Now let me heal your head. Put your face down on the pillow. I need to heal the back of your head.
"Why you must be sure? Sure of what?"
"You attacked me a few hours ago." He said. "Now let me help you, put your face down."
She obeyed frightened. He took a piece of gauze and began to clean her wound softly.
"I attacked you? why?" Huntress asked trying to remember.
"I don't know, you lost control, I needed to hit you. You and I are partners."
"Partners?" Huntress asked.
"Yea. Crime partners."

A few hours later. Dinah was sitting in front the computer waiting for the test results. She was lost in her thoughts. Someone had gotten Helena, and they had no idea who it might be.
"What happened? Did you talk with him?" the read head asked wheeling inside.
"He said she never arrived at her appointment."
"Where was it supposed to be?"
"In another place far from where the watchman called the police."
Barbara scratched her head "I have the blood tests. The one that you found on the rooftop isn't hers, but the spot that you found on the street is her blood." She looked Dinah. The face of the girl turned pale.
"So, she was the woman that the watchman saw on the floor?" Dinah felt her heart stop.
"I'm afraid. yes."
"What do you think happened? The bullets are from very powerful weapons, not common ones."
"Maybe she surprised a group of criminals. but I don't know what to think. She is not dead; they didn't kill her, but why? Where is she? I'm really worried."
The uncertainty of didn't know what had happened to her was killing Barbara. But she knew she needed kept her mind cold, was the only way that she could help Huntress. She started to type again in the keyboard.

Dinah walked distracted in the school cafeteria, she was thinking in her friend and in all the possibilities of where she would be. She had been talking with Gabby but she couldn't get attention on her, her mind wasn't there, she was looking be alone. Barbara had asked for a permission to stay in Clock Tower and continued her search.
"Dinah." Jean Paul greeted her "How are you?"
"Jean-Paul, hi." she gave him a light small eating her lunch. "I'm fine thanks.."
He sat in a chair next to her and asked in low voice. "Huntress called you?"
"Eh? No, no. I couldn't contact her."
"Why do you think she couldn't be on time on our appointment?"
"Well. I dunno" Dinah raised her brows "She is unpredictable."
patylandy: Jean-Paul smirked. "Where did you meet her?"
"She saved me one night, of a guy" she explained remembering the night that she had meet Huntress. "and later I saw her some times more and we start to talk."
"She is amazing, I'm surprised with her, she can jump high distances, she fight incredible, she is too fast. what else she could do?" Jean-Paul tried to know more about the brunette.
".I dunno, I never ask her..."
"Where she.?"
"Jean-Paul." Dinah interrupted "I don't like to talk so much about her. It is her life, and she do many dangerous things, is not good that people know her."
"And how dangerous will be it for you? You know how find her." Jean-Paul said.
Dinah looked him she took a sip of her coke. "I just let her a paper in an alley, I don't know where she lives, or what's is her name. I'm sure she will contact you as soon as would be possible for her."
"Why you called me last night? Your voice was so worry."
".Well. I need to talk with her. and as you and her had an appointment, I guess that maybe she was with you and I could talk with her." she looked her watch "Sorry Jean-Paul, it is late, I need go to my class."
"Ok, I see you later." He gave her a kiss in her cheek. Dinah ran to her classroom. He followed her with his gaze. He just wanted a friend when she meet Dinah, but luckily she helped him to find Huntress, one of his targets. Now he just need find Barbara Gordon, but he first needed earn Huntress trust. He stood up and walk outside. He had an appointment in Arkham.
"Did you investigate the man that gave the false alarm in 911?"
Dinah was sad. "Yes, the police said it was a bad joke. I talked with the watchman, he said he found a girl with short hair, black clothes and a short coat in the street, he couldn't see her well, it was dark, she was alive but hurt but it fits Huntress' description.
