Hi friends! Thank you so much for reading this fic. On with the next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

Team flash were trying to call Barry for last fifteen minutes but it never got answered. Each eyes flicked from one person to another silently asking if anyone could get in contact with the hero. Joe pressed the red button "I'm telling you something is wrong. Barry should be back by now"

"How could he just disappear right infront of star labs" said Caitlin who still had the cell on her ears. Oliver turned to face the engineer "Don't you have eyes outside the lab?"

Cisco shook his head "Where Joe has parked his car, it's out of range of our cams so we cannot see what happened when Barry went out" Oliver clenched his jaw "What about any new meta activity?"

"I see nothing" Caitlin clicked on the computer "Besides Barry wouldn't go after a meta without his suit" she pointed at the flash suit on the mannequin. Joe got even more worried "I'm going at the station to arrange a search party. I can't sit here and do nothing"

"I'll come with you" Oliver took one step when his cell rang. He picked up and frowned when he saw an unknown number "Who's calling?"

"Oliver!"

Oliver's posture tensed "Barry?!" he looked at others who quickly crowded him "Where are you? Are you okay?"

Barry didn't want to sound terrified but he was failing miserably "I...I don't know.." he admitted taking a shuddering breath "I..am trapped Oliver...he's back... he did this...you've to get me out of here..I can't..."

"Barry slow down kid" Oliver spoke calmly because his friend sounded really scared and panicked. He pressed the speaker button "You said you are trapped?"

"Yeah..I don't know where"

Joe's eyes widened as he shared looks with the team "Barr it's me. Talk to me son"

"J..Joe...he's back" Barry said clutching the cell tightly. Everyone in the room wore a confused expression on their faces. Oliver brows narrowed "Who's back?"

"Jeremiah Ferrero"

"What!?" Joe raised his voice and heard Barry's ragged breathing. Oliver and others were equally shocked on the news. Joe ran a hand on his face "What did he do? Where are you?"

"I don't know Joe!" Barry yelled in frustration

"Okay..okay calm down son. It's okay. Let's start from beginning. Can you tell me what happened?" Joe kept his voice low and soft in comforting manner

"I woke up here.." Barry looked at the small cramped space trying hard not to panic

Oliver asked Cisco to trace the call who ran back at his computer "We're tracing the call Barr. Keep talking...tell me what you see"

"It's...I think it's a box...It's so small...I can't move..I can't get out..."

Oliver cursed mentally. Last time Jeremiah had planted a bomb but this sounded much worse "Do you remember how you got there?"

"No"

"Barry you were gone to get something from Joe's car. Can you tell me whay happend after that" Oliver eyes were on Cisco who signalled he couldn't track Barry's location. He pressed his lips tightly in anger

Barry coughed and gasped out loud "You've to...find me soon before..." he said ignoring the question

"Before what kid?" Oliver did not like where this was going. His mind relived what happened six months back. How hard it had been for him to get Barry back safe with them. The vigilante heard a soft reply from his friend "My...air supply is running out"

There was silence for few seconds before Caitlin leaned down to speak "Barry don't think about the small space. Keep breathing...take slow breaths okay.. try to stay calm...the more you panic the quicker you run out air"

"Please get me out"

"What about your powers?" asked Joe and heard some shuffling noises "Power dampening...cuffs" replied Barry and Joe looked at Oliver "Stay with him Oliver. Keep him calm. I'm going at the station and check on this Jeremiah, see if we can get a lead on him" he turned to face Cisco "Don't stop until you're able to trace the number. We've to find him as soon as possible"

Cisco nodded and got back to his computer. He knew breaking the blocked signal was not going to be easy, infact it could take hours but he was not going to give up. Barry's life was on stake. Joe leaned in to talk "Barr hang on son. We're going to get you out of there, you hear me?"

"Yeah" came a soft reply. Joe handed the cell to Oliver and ran out of the star labs. Oliver stared at the cell. How was he suppose to keep Barry calm when he himself was freaking out from inside. This was the second time the history had repeated itself and he cursed himself for being so careless. He shouldn't have underestimated Jeremiah and his intentions.

Barry frowned when the silence streched for more than a minute. His heart started pounding against his ribcage thinking he was all alone again. Barry hated feeling so weak but the silence would definitely kill him before the suffocation "H..Hello?"

Oliver blinked, Barry's terrified voice bringing him out of his thoughts "I'm here kid. Stay with me" he heard a sigh from other end. Barry took a slow breath "Don't really have any where else to go. Did Joe find anything?" he asked even though he just heard his foster father leave

"Not yet" said Oliver "They all are trying Barry. We'll find you"

"I know...you guys better hurry. It's really...suffocating in here" Barry again tried push the wooden board above with his cuffed hands. Oliver heard the thud and feared his friend was panicking again "Barry stay calm"

"It's not that easy!" Barry gritted out. He coughed and closed his eyes when soft rain of dust fell from above invading his eyes and mouth

"Barry?"

And then Barry knew it. All the signs that were screaming at him. The strong smell of underground mud, the wooden box he was buried in, the tiny creatures like spiders and bugs he could with the light from his cell. Realization hit Barry like a tons of bricks "Oli...Ollie"

"What's going on?"

Barry's breathing sped up and so did his heart rate. A cold sweat quickly covered his body, soaking his clothes and bringing shivers that violently racked his body "I'm...I think...no I'm sure ..this is a coffin"

All colour drained from Oliver's face as he found himself frozen to the floor. Cisco and Caitlin stopped working on the computers and looked at Oliver with wide eyes

Barry's words created a nauseating silence in the labs. The fact that everyone knew at the back of their mind that it was a possibility that their friend was buried underground, now after Barry confirming it made ten times worse. Oliver took a deep breath to compose himself. He had to stay strong. He couldn't afford to panic in this situation especially when Barry needed him most "We're coming kid" he tried desperately to comfort the young hero but inside he knew they were empty promises for now

There was silence from other end and it only heightened Oliver's worry. Caitlin walked towards him "Why has he gone quiet? Barry?"

"Barry?" Oliver called out couple of times but got no response "Hey Barry! Are you there? Barry!"

After another long streched silence the team heard few ragged breaths followed by Barry's scratchy voice "I.. I can't breathe"

Sorry this chapter got longer so will have to split in two parts. Will be back soon with last chapter. Please leave a review :-)))
