Ok, the wait is over.

"You're going to tell us what you know eventually." Connor said to Sarah. They were still out in the woods, but Dick had gotten Artemis to join them.

"Why, are you gonna make me?" Sarah asked sarcastically. "You can't do anything to me."

"It's not him you should be worried about." Artemis hissed. "It's me. You know where my friend is." Sarah actually looked surprised.

"What friend? We had nothing planned for today!" Sarah cried. "I was supposed to come and find that other girl and when I got back here she was gone and your short friend here pounced on me!"

"You have a lot of explaining to do, and you will tell us the truth." Kaldur crossed his arms. "Why are you doing this?"

"What do you care? It's not like it's personal." She hissed.

"You have attacked my friend at the lake, kidnapped my friend when she was seriously ill, and now another of my friends is missing. To me, this has become very personal." Kaldur replied coldly. "When this is over, I will make sure you are put in jail for a very long time."

"What are you, a cop? You can't prove anything. All you have is the word of a bunch of teenagers against that of the poor counselor who was only trying discipline them." Sarah crossed her arms. "I'll take my chances in court." Artemis grabbed the front of her shirt.

"If you don't tell us where Wally is, there will be no court." The archer sneered.

Right, because you really scare me." Sarah sneered back. "A bunch of nosy teenagers with a misplaced sense of justice! You have no idea what this camp did to me, so you'll never understand like he does!" She turned and walked away.

"Let her go." Kaldur said quietly. He had seen the fear in her eyes. She was probably as much a victim as she was a killer. They watched her walk away. "He's holding something over her."

"I think I may need to look in their old files." Dick said. "She said we wouldn't understand what this camp did to her."

"Artemis, keep an eye on her and try to figure out who her partner is. We'll look for Wally." Kaldur held up a hand when she started to protest. "Besides Dick, you are the best at remaining unseen. Connor has super-hearing. He may be able to hear Wally's heartbeat if he is near." Artemis knew he was right, but it still felt wrong for her to not look for Wally. It felt like giving up.


Dick stood outside the Main Cabin where the records of every camper, past and present, were kept. He waited until it was abandoned for lunch and walked inside. He found a room with several filing cabinets, each labeled carefully. He went to the one that held the files for the past campers and searched though it. Sarah's file was surprisingly thick compared to most of the others, and when Dick opened it he quickly realized why.

"Whoa..." Artemis said quietly later when Dick showed her the file. "That explains a lot. She was totally humiliated by her Cabin."

"A week of pranks and mean jokes tends to do that." Dick was referring to the hellish experience Sarah had as a camper years before. She had the misfortune of being in a Cabin full of girls who all knew each other, and they made sure she knew it. They took her belongings and scattered them around camp, stole her cellphone to prank-call boys, and tricked her into doing all kinds of things. Every day was terrible for her, and it all accumulated into her ending up outside naked.

"So she has the motive, but does she have the means?" Artemis pointed out. "She doesn't exactly seem like the brainchild needed for this kind of thing."

"Maybe not, but if she was unstable to begin with, an experience like that could have pushed her over the edge. Trauma lingers and it doesn't take much to convince someone that's a little wrong in the head to do something like this." Dick pointed out. "Hey, she's on the move." Sarah looked furtively around and darted off towards the archery range.

"Let's go then."


Wally was four hours into his imprisonment, not that he really knew that. He had no sense of time. All he knew was that Artemis was pulling away from him, and no matter how fast he ran, she kept getting a little bit further away with every stride. The oxygen in the box was decreasing slowly but surely, and by now he had about six hours of air left.

If he was lucky.


Connor and Kaldur had split the area into three parts. They figured that M'gann's telepathic range was at best, in her current condition, about 3 miles in every direction. This narrowed their search area, but they knew that without finding the other half to the puzzle...Well, the odds of finding Wally were slim.

"This is hopeless, isn't it?" Connor asked bluntly.

"Does it matter?" Kaldur replied.

"No." Connor knew he wouldn't give up, none of them would until they found their friend. "How much longer does he have?"

"A little more than five hours."


You'll just have to wait. Hahahaha! Will Wally make it out? Or will Young Justice be one member short? Stay tuned to find out. Also, check out my new poll for this story. Review!
