Chapter 9:
It was a gloomy building, dark on the outside, but Wally was more concerned for what might be inside.
"You ready?" Artemis asked
Wally nodded in response and they entered the warehouse. They walked through the warehouse, Artemis with her bow drawn, looking in every room finding nothing.
"He musn't be here" Wally said de-jectdly and sat down against the wall burying his face in his knees.
{Mental Link}
'Megan, Conner have you found anything?'-Artemis
'No, nothing so far'-Megan
'What about you Kaldur?'-Artemis
'I haven't found anything here either'-Kaldur
'As soon as you have finished searching the building return to the cave'-Artemis.
"You okay?" She asked Wally leaning down beside him
Before he could answer they heard a terrifying scream. Wally jumped up and sped off toward the sound, Artemis followed as fast as she could manage.

When Wally arrived he was horrified at the sight before him. His best friend laid on the floor, tied to a chair, stab wounds, cuts and bruises littered his body. He was barely concious in a pool of blood, his eyes moved up towards Wally and he tried to speak but no words came out. Artemis ran in behind Wally, her eyes widened in shock when she saw her lifeless peer on the ground. Artemis looked away and spoke through the psychic link,
'We found him'-Artemis
'Is he alright?'-Megan
'He's breathing, but probably not for much longer'-Artemis
'We're on our way'-Conner
'Can you come get me on the way?'-Kaldur
When Artemis turned back around Wally had already untied Dick. He was trying to keep Dick awake and comforting him. Artemis was about to walk over and sit next to them when a woman stepped out of the shadows holding a very sharp looking knife with flowery patterns and dried blood staining the blade.
"So Batman's sending little kids to do his bidding now? What a shame, for you".
