last day of my Christmas break so it means my writing time is now not very long at all. But I'll get the chapters up when I can. Anyway chapter six
Chapter six
"What do you mean they are gone?" Asked Oliver in a hushed voice to Superman. The police was still with them and Superman had come through an upstairs window. It was just pasted midnight and everyone was too worried to sleep. They had just over an hour to transfer the money.
"I found the tent and the cabin were the video was filmed but they are not there now, they are not in the campsite any more"
"so where are they?"
"I will keep searching, I'm just updating you on the situation, but my guess they were taken by vehicle to a new location" so it was superman speck for finding a needle in a haystack. The league couldn't find them unless they had more information. If only Roy phone had GPS on it... But Roy didn't agree to it and if he did he would probably get Dick to remove it anyway...
Oliver made his way back to the living room, he couldn't share the information Superman just gave him, not with the police still there. He just hoped they would get an lead soon, the boys were counting on them to come to the recuse, but right now they had nothing to go on.
...
Dick had fallen into an uneasy sleep, it was probably the best thing for him. It was almost to dark to see anything and the journey was long "I'll been thinking" said Wally
"Dick said that reporter guy tried to take down Wynne Enterprises... Didn't Ollie have the same problem recently as well?"
Roy though about it, he didn't really talked to Oliver that much anymore, but he was updated with what was going on "Yeh he did" said Roy "It was some reporter..." Roy trailed off for an moment "A different one I'm sure but it happen to other large business owners as well... The elite..."
"Didn't an report get those photo of you and Dick at the last benefit ball?"
There was an couple of photo that were taken without permission, one of Dick showing him something in an European comic book. Another one of him and Dick trying a strange fish thing and another one when Roy was drinking some wine and Dick talking to him. Bruce found out about the photo before it went public, with a report filled with lies. Bruce was mad, Dick had said previously he didn't want reporters taking any more photos of him following prombles at school. In the end Bruce had to take legal action against the reporter. "You think this us about disgruntle reporters who lost their jobs?"
"It makes sense" said Wally "and they can find out anything including serect camping trips..."
Wally made an good point "Reports have lots of links everywhere" said Roy then he had an uncomfortable thought, If they told the police... And if they find out... Roy knew the league procedure. Bruce, Barry and Oliver would act like concerned parents and phone the police while the other league member deal if the promble at hand. If the reporter find out the police had been contacted, it could mean more trouble for them...
"The league will get here first" whisper Wally obviously seeing the same promble.
Roy nodded his head "Ollie right, Reporter are nothing but trouble, are you alright?'
"I'll have to eat soon" said Wally "Can't we tell them i'm dietetic or something? I mean ..." Wally voice died down as the truck was slowing down. Roy and Wally share a look, Wally kicked out at Dick "Dick wake up... Hey Dick..." Dick open his eyes and looked around remembering what was going on. "We're stopping"
"Dick we think they are all reports, who have a beef with Bruce and Ollie" said Roy quickly updating Dick on their theory.
The truck stopped and they waited what seemed like forever before the door was open and touch light shone brightly in their eyes.
"Had a comfortable journey?" Asked the one Dick said was called Ralph "Your guardians have got half an hour to transfer the money or we're going to start having some fun... Maybe another message would make them move quickly..."
"at lest give us some food first" said Roy "We haven't eaten since breakfast and Wally need to eat... His got a medical condition..."
"You're get fed after the message" he nodded to the men put side and they were all dragged outside the truck
They were are to go into a kneeing position the back headlight shone on 's gagged was removed Dick looked ready to throw up again."Tell them to send the money, and that you are unharmed. Say anything else and one of you will get shot, understand... Good..." He took Roy's phone out again "Okay... Action..."
They paused for a slip second "Hey, they want to money" said Wally somewhat lamely
"We're alright" said Roy "Could do with some food and without the bumpy car journey..." Not a long was said but their was more information in that than the badies relised. The mentors would know from that, that Wally needed food, Dick's silence was due to travel sickness.
Ralph smiled as the pocketed the phone "Get them inside" once again they were pulled on to their feet and dragged to the cabin.
"I'm going...to... " mumble Dick he suddenly stopped walking and he double over slightly
"He's get travel sickness" said Wally quickly "Plus with an concussion"
Dick was dragged to a brush just in time to empty his stomach content, as Roy and Wally were dragged inside. Soon followed by Dick who had an almost triumph look in his eye "The brat, almost made me trip over..." one of the men complained. They were feed an sandwich each like a small child as they hands were still tie behind the back. Then once again locked in the basement alone.
"Hey, look what I took" said Dick he trun to show them in his hand hidden by Wally large shirt was a phone "can you pressed the bottoms if I guide you.. We need to silence it and make sure it hasn't got a tracker on it... Then we can message Bruce"
"How did you get that?" Asked Roy impressed "When did you get that?"
"When I was chucking up my guts, I knocked into the guy that was with me..."
"You are flipping genies" said Wally "Pass the phone to me, I been the hands and you be the eyes..." It took at long time to send Bruce the message. As Dick and Wally worked together Roy listened closely getting ready to warn them if someone was coming, but at last Dick grinned brightly
"Message sent" said Dick quietly
...
The second message had they worries increased alot. The first one they weren't tie up and looked more or less unharmed, this message however they were all tied up. They said they needed food - Wally need food...
"They are in danger, I'm transferring the money" said Oliver at once "If we don't..."
"We will motioned the account" said one the officers
Oliver transfer the money and they waited for another message. It was three quarter of an hour later when Bruce's phone went off, he looked at the unknown number and open it and looked at the message and felt relieved "They manger to steal and phone..."
"What dose it say?" Asked Barry at once
Bruce read it out loud "Bruce it Dick, stolen phone. Ralph Henry Smith other reporters 5 men, guns, Eaten, locked in cabin... Green truck" it was short, but hold a lot of information. Wally had eaten something so he wasn't going to pass out. They were five men with guns that might explain why they hadn't attempted an escape. They still didn't know were they were, but Dick had given them an name... A name that he remembered...
"Ralph Henry Smith, we arrested him only last month" said the officer "fingers in a lots of pots... Can I see you phone we can do a back ground check of the number..." At lest they were doing a more active roll instead of sitting around. Barry step outside 'for some air' to update the league hopefully this was going to be over soon
