April 14 10:30am Eastern Time - S.T.A.R. Labs with Virgil and Krypto

Holding Krypto, Virgil walked into his room at S.T.A.R. Labs and closed the door behind the two. Virgil gently set Krypto down on the ground and walked over to his S.T.A.R. Labs issued laptop on his desk. Virgil typed in 'missing dogs' into the Lex Corp. search engine starting his search on who the dog that he found actually was.

Bored and tired from all the running, Krypto curled up on Virgil's bed as Virgil continued to type away.

There was a low hum from the machine analyzing the dart to confirm everyone's suspicion of it being Kryptonite tipped. Nightwing tapped his fingers rhythmically as he studied the photos from the alley that was thought to be the crime scene.

"Well, something is really getting at you. I've been standing here for two whole minutes and you didn't even notice," Batgirl, now Barbara said as she leaned against the doorframe that led off to the kitchen.

"None of this makes any sense," Dick told her still entranced be the photos.

"Yes, it does. See, if you look at the paw prints they are for sure Krypto's because every animals paw print is like a human's finger print, they are all different. I did some analysis and the paw prints in the alleyway are definitely Krypto's. Also, the chemical analysis on the dart just finished and it looks like that the dart was in fact laced with Kryptonite. Something or one lured Krypto into the alley and sedated him on the spot. The questions are who or what did that to him? why? and where is Krypto?" Barbara told him matter-of-factly while holding up the chemical analysis report up to Dick.

"I know that, but..." Dick started.

"But what, Dick?" Barbara pressed.

"All the plausible criminals were either locked up or have a solid alibi at the estimated time of Krypto's capture. None of this adds up. Luthor could care less about Krypto, he only cares about Kara, Conner and Clark. All the other typical criminals or even intellectual criminals wouldn't need anything to do with Krypto. In short, there is no plausible criminal to even interrogate or even look into. We are at a dead end," Dick told Barbara. Barbara looked at him and saw all signs of hope depleted and replaced with defeat.

"Don't talk like that. If you lose hope, then everyone does and if everyone loses hope we for sure won't find Krypto," Barbara told him sternly before she turned to the photos in front of them. "Plus, we aren't necessarily at a dead end."

Dick gave Barbara a confused look that urged her to go on.

"Look at the top of that building. Opposite of Chez Joey's," Barbara pointed out to him.

"A Lex Corp. building. What about it?" Dick asked.

"What does every Lex Corp., Wayne Tech., bank, or any high class building have in common?" Barbara countered.

"Money," Dick answered slightly unsure.

"No, well, yes. When you have a lot of money how do you protect that money?" Barbara prodded.

"Security."

"Yes. And what kind of security watches your every move twenty-four-seven?"

Barbara could visibly see the light bulb go off in his head as he replied, "Surveillance cameras."

April 15 9:15 am Eastern Time - S.T.A.R. Labs with Tamar and Dax

"I told you to find that dog even if it cost you your own life! Did I not?!" Dax yelled at the security officers standing in front of him. "The dog could be anywhere in this facility by now! I can't believe it! The world's finest defeated by a small dog! For Pete's sake, get your head in the game and find me that dog!"

With that the officers scurried away in a hurry.

"Dax, we will find the Superdog soo-" Tamar started.

"I don't want soon, Tamar. I want that dog now!" Taken aback by the tone that Dax was using with her, Tamar took a small step back in slight fear of him.

"I understand that the Superdog is important to our investigation, but-"

"But what, Tamar?" The Reach Ambassador raged. "You can't just pick up another Superdog off the street by chance. That dog is a one of a kind and if the Reach drink chemicals works on that dog then it can work on Kryptonians. We already know that the drink can work on humans and normal dogs, but if we can get three Kryptonians - four including the dog - then we have the most powerful beings on our side. Now do you understand how important that dog is to our research - to your research?"

"Yes, I understand," Tamar said with a new light in her eyes. "Now find that Superdog."

April 15th Eastern Time - Mount Justice

"Ok, I'm totally fine with watching a documentary or even educational television, but surveillance videos are the most boring of them all. The only good thing out of this is popcorn," Wally complained. He received a glare from Dinah. "And finding Krypto. Finding Krypto is a good thing that comes out of this too. Yeesh, you didn't let me finish."

"Hey Wally," Karen said.

"Yeah," Wally replied.

"Just shut up, watch the video and give me some popcorn," she replied.

"And I thought Artemis was demanding," Wally mumbled as he passed Conner the popcorn, who took a hand full of before passing it to Karen on his right. Ignoring Wally's comment to sulk slightly over her lost friend, Karen filled her small bowel full of popcorn before handing it back to Ollie knowing he loved popcorn.

"What are we looking for exactly again?" Ollie asked as he passed Dinah the huge popcorn bucket. Everyone turned and gave him the are you serious? glare. "What? I'm getting old. Old people forget things." Everyone turned back to the holographic screen and Dinah withdrew a breath to start explaining to her 'old' boyfriend what was going on. Before Dinah could get a peep in Dick announced, "That's what we're looking for," as he pointed at the screen.

On the screen there was a paused frame od Krypto sniffing and the Kryptonite laced dart flying at him from the spot that Dick estimated a few days ago. On the Chez Joey's building there was a dark shadow.

"Play it frame by frame," Barbara told him. Her and Dick were the closest to the screen than everyone else with Ace, the Bathound, laying down next to the folding chairs. Now everyone was alert along with Ace as Dick played the tape frame by frame until Barbara told him to pause the tape once more. The screen now showed the dark figure, a person it was believed, picking up the sedated Krypto. Little did the figure know that it was staring right at the camera.

"Is that..?" Wally asked.

"Uh huh," Dick replied with the same shocked and surprised expression as Wally. The two were acting as if they were in a trance by the freezed frame on the screen.

"And are we..?"

"Uh huh."

"Are they..?"

"Nuh uh."

"Do they..?"

"Nuh uh."

"Do we..?"

"No." That response was the only clear thing the rest of the team understood from Wally and Dick's conversation.

A/N: Sorry it's been a while. I had a bunch of exams and then I went on vacation. Anyways, you are probably wondering what Wally was asking Dick. Here it is:

"Is that Dax?" (from having Artemis and Kaldur undercover I thought that they would know the Ambassadors name).

"Yeah."

"And are we still going to go after Krypto?"

"Yeah."

"Are they going to help?" ('they' being Artemis and Kaldur)

"Nope."

"Do they know about this?" ('this' being the Krypto situation)

"Nope."

"Do we tell the team that they are undercover?" (the team will probably encounter either Artemis or Kaldur or both. I haven't decided yet.)

"No."

That ends the translation. Hopefully I'll get a new chapter up sooner than I got this one up.
