George continued to examine the truck and a noticed his blood on the floor. He touched his bloody shirt and knew he had to something about this. He had to come up with some type of plan. He found his police jacket lying in the seat; he grabbed it, put it on and zipped it up. George walked out to the front seat and woke up the unconscious driver. The radio lied on the seat next to the driver. George took the radio clearing his throat he spoke into, "This is Officer George Dean in transport vehicle 62345 we have been hit. I repeat we have been hit. The driver is unconscious and I… I'm unharmed but the prisoner got away and…."

A response came on the radio he recognized as Vernocia the woman who had hired him to guard Chloe, "Dean. What do you mean she got away? How could this happen?"

"Well it all happened so fast. One minute we're swerving then the next minute she's gone. I must have got knocked out during the crash."

"Fine. I'll be right there. Stay there and don't do anything stupid."

George turned it off and said to himself, "Yeah, don't do anything stupid. Well. I think it's a little late for that."

Mean While at Oliver Queens Apartment in Star City

Cyborg gently lied Chloe down on Oliver's leather couch. After he put a blanket on Chloe stood there freaked out. He jumped up when Oliver came in the room.

"What took you so long?"

Then he saw Chloe lying there seemly lifeless.

"What the hell happened?"

"Well there was a problem." Victor said still staring at Chloe.

"You had a simple mission get Chloe and get out. What was the problem?"

"There was this guard he…shot me and it bounced off and hit him."

"So he shot Chloe?" Oliver said as he searched for her wound and couldn't find one.

"No. She healed him. I think. And then she just…collapsed. I tried to get her out…I had no idea…"

Oliver sighed, "Me either."

Then Victor asked, "So who's going to tell Boy Scout?"

Then they heard a voice from behind them, "Tell me what?"

They turned around to see Clark.

Oliver signaled for Victor to leave. He gladly sped walked out of there.

Clark looked at both men suspiciously, "What's going on?"

Oliver stood in front of Chloe and said, "Clark I'm so sorry don't worry I'll get people to help and…"

"What are you talking about? And where is Chloe? She left this note and told me if I dealt with my big problem that I should meet her here. Ollie, why would Chloe be all the way here in…"

Then he stopped when he saw Chloe lying unconscious on the couch.

"What happened?"

"Look Clark I can…"

"How could you? I thought I made it clear to you that I didn't want Chloe to go on any of your missions with you. She's only to do behind the scenes stuff only. I don't want her out on the field. This is why… Who did she heal? Was it you or one of the Leaguers? How long has she been out?"

Oliver said, "Wait. Wait. Wait. You knew about this. You knew about Chloe's power. Why didn't you just tell me?"

"It's not my secret to tell. I thought you would understand that."

"So that's why you didn't want Chloe out there working with us you thought she would heal some one. So she's done this before and this happened and everything turned out ok. So she'll be ok?"

"I don't know. The first time she died for a few hours and the second time she died for 18 hours."

"Wait she died? How is that possible?"

Clark sat beside Chloe, "I don't know."

Clark stared at her chest and used his x-ray vision and saw her heart beeping, it was beeping slowly but it was still beeping.

"She's not dead now. That's good. So who did she heal?"

"Some prison guard."

"A prison guard what were you guys doing in a prison."

"We weren't…wait…she didn't tell you? And I thought you two told eachother everything."

"We do. And tell me what?" Clark started to get angry.

"Well, Chloe got into some trouble. She got arrested by the Department of National Security."

"She what? When did this happen?"

"A few days ago I guess. She said she was caught hacking government satellite. And she thought Jimmy had taken care of it but…they caught up to her. She got wind of this before the Sydney Bristow wanna be came to arrest her. She copied all of her databases on a flash drive and sent all of weapons and anything else she didn't want anyone to see to me. And she called me and told me what happened and that she could use a little super hero help."

"Why didn't she call me?"

"She said you were too busy saving the world."

Clark sighed and stared at Chloe's face. She started blinking and then she woke up.

And she sighed, "George are you ok?"
