Bittersweet Love

17. Grim Reaper

Cisco hurried. New sightings of Grim Reaper had just been picked up by the satellite this morning. Without wasting any more time, he immediately informed Barry who was still at CCPD. In no time, they were all hands on deck because of the increasing threat.

"The satellite picked up large amount of cosmic and electromagnetic radiation. Looking at the size of it, there is no doubt that it was caused by something unnatural." Cisco explained.

"The only thing we know about him is that he draws power from his scythe. Other than that, we know nothing about him." Barry recalled.

"We do." Caitlin interrupted. "When Frost was fighting against him, we saw that he has hazel eyes. We also have his DNA. If we are able to find an abnormality in the DNA, then we can narrow the search down." She suggested.

"Okay. Caitlin, you begin analyzing the blood sample. Iris, Ralph, be ready to do some research. Joe, I want you to alert CCPD for backup. Cisco, see if you can design a weapon that can be used. I will investigate the site where he was last seen." Barry instructed, before flashing away.

Sighing, everyone got to the work they were instructed to do. Cisco struggled to create a device that would counteract the effects of the scythe. To his luck, Harry walked in to help him with the calculations.

Caitlin scrunched her eyes analyzing the different blood compounds. She groaned as no new information came to light. Leaning back, she bit her lip in nervousness. Her attention was diverted when she saw her phone buzz. Caitlin frowned as an unknown number flashed on her phone.

"Hello? Who is this?" Caitlin hesitantly asked.

"Dr. Snow, forgotten me already?" She heard a cocky voice from the other side.

"Scott? How did you get my number?" She asked, being surprised.

"I am a detective, remember? Plus everyone at CCPD knows who Caitlin Snow is." He added.

"Oh my god! You got the job?!" Caitlin shrieked. "And you are telling me this now?!" She complained.

"Relax! I only got it 2 days ago." He said.

"Well I am happy for you." She smiled.

"Cait," She heard a knock on the door. "Do you have the results?" Barry asked.

Caitlin nodded as she was still on the phone. "Scott, I will talk to you later. I gotta go now." Caitlin cut the call before hearing a response.

Grabbing the file, she followed Barry to the cortex where everyone was gathered.

"The person has sickle cell anemia and Type 2 diabetes."

"Which means he requires frequent medical assistance with insulin and routine checkups." Barry added.

"Great!" Cisco exclaimed rushing to the computer. "All we need to do is find a person with sickle cell anemia and Type 2 diabetes with hazel eyes." He ran the algorithms. "Got it!" Cisco announced. "Luke Smith." He informed.

"Is there an address?" Barry asked.

"I am sending it right now!" Cisco typed.

"Alright, let's suit up." Barry instructed.

Stealthily moving close to the abandoned cottage in the woods, Barry pressed on his comms. "Cisco, are you sure this is the place?"

"This is the address stated in the records." Cisco confirmed.
