Totally Spies: Gotham Gals

Riddle me, my love pt. 2

TW: Blood

Sam wakes up in a dark room surrounded by purple question marks. The numerous symbols hurt her eyes, and soon an even uglier thing comes into her sight. Her sight immediately clears up, seeing Edward staring at her. She quickly sits up and tries to back away from him. The sound of a chain rattling makes Sam uneasy. She looks at her right leg and sees a long chain attached.

"It's ok. I won't hurt you, Sammy," Edward coos, making Sam tremble as he starts to close the distance between them.

He sits on the bed, placing a hand next to Sam's right thigh. Sam curses herself for leaving her spy gadgets at home and leans backward away from Edward.

"Your head is probably going to be hurting for a while. I made you breakfast, so you don't have to move your pretty little head," Edward says, kissing Sam's cheek.

Sam cries as Riddler hands her pancakes with orange juice. He leaves and turns on the tv. The time is 10 AM, and the sun is shining.

"Ok, maybe Sammy is staying over late?" Alex theorizes, trying to calm Clover down.

"If she was staying over, she would call us! Her phone keeps going to fucking voicemail!" Clover cries, pressing the red end call button on her phone.

"Ok, we need help," Alex says, putting her hands over her nose and mouth. "Who can we call? Who can we call?"

"Dick and his dad? Dick's dad saw Eddy," Clover suggests, standing up and scrolling through her contacts. "Here it is!"

Dick's phone briefly rings before he picks it up.

"Hello?" Dick answers, still sleepy.

"Dick, you've got to help us! Sammy hasn't come back from her date with Eddy. She was supposed to come back 12 hours ago!" Clover pleads, holding her phone.

"I'm sorry, what?!" Dick exclaims, his phone making noise from him moving it.

"Sammy hasn't come back yet! Her phone keeps going to voicemail!" Alex cries, going to Clover. "Can't your dad do something?!"

"Dad! Dad!" Dick yells, running to him. "Sam disappeared."

Sam has been crying since she finished breakfast. She stares at the basement window allowing her sunlight. She sees the lock and remembers she has a hairpin. Sam takes the hairpin out and tries to pick the lock on her chain. An electrical current from the chain shocks her, releasing a pained scream from her throat. She falls to the mattress, exhausted.

Riddler hurriedly goes down the stairs and sees Sam.

"I forgot to tell you that if you try to pick the lock open, it'll shock you," Edward says, dressed in his Riddler outfit. "I'll be back in a couple of hours. I'll bring food back."
