I'm Trying To Hide It...

Story Told... A Little At A Time

"Which leads to tonight." I finished.

"Got it. I will be sure that Jay, Rick and Nick go to jail for what they have done."

"B-but, for what?" I asked, right when Dick came down.

"Sexual harassment." Bruce answered before he came close enough to hear us.

"Bruce, we have a problem." He stated.

"What is it, Dick?" Bruce questioned.

"I can't find Wally anywhere."

"Wally!" I yelled. I stood up, grabbing a quiver and a bow. "Let's go."

Dick grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a motorcycle. "Put this on." He handed me a helmet and raced out of the cave. "Do you know where to look?"

"I have an idea." I directed him to the first spot I was taken during this chase. "This was the first spot I was taken. Judging by the look of it, someone was here recently." I looked around. "There!" I pointed to the shed.

We both ran over to where the shed is. Inside was a mess. Everything was misplaced and trashed, it looked like a fight or something went down in there. Dick raced to the stairs, I followed close behind. I was scared to see what was beyond that staircase. For all I knew, Wally could have been killed.

Thank God he was... No, no, no, this couldn't be. Wally wasn't there. Where could he have been! "Where is he?!" I took a long pause, seeing blood on the far wall. I walked over to it, fell on my knees, and began to cry. "Where...?"

Dick came and sat next to me. He helped me up. And he let me rest my head on his chest. I hit is chest a few time with my hands, "Where could he be?! This is all my fault... I let this happen." I yelled.

Dick wrapped his hands around me, and quietly spoke. "We will find him, Artemis. And when we do, he will be alive, I promise."

Wally P.O.V.
(This chapter starts when Jay and Nick left Artemis alone in the room elsewhere, after they poked the needle into her and had her fall asleep.)

When I woke up, I had a terrible pain in my left shoulder. I tried to reach over and grab it to help with the pain, but a chain stop me from moving off the cold wall behind me. Instead, I looked to see what was wrong with my arm. It was covered by some ductape and a pad of some sort. Then I realized, the day before, I was shot again, by someone named Rick...? I don't know his name, and I don't care.

But the pain is killing me. Luckily I am a speedster, the pain will be gone in maybe 20 minutes. But the wound will probably be there for a while. I wonder if people are looking for me, frankly I wonder a lot of things. Like if Uncle Barry is feeding my cat, Albert. But I'm sure Artemis... Artemis! God, is she okay, will she be? I need to find her!

I pulled more on the chain, as I moved my hand back and fourth as fast as I could. I just couldn't... I couldn't get fast enough. "Errr! Why?!" I yelled.

I heard a shuffle upstairs and someone ran down to where I was, it looked like Jay. "Oh look, Wally's awoken. Artemis told me to tell you that she just can't have anyone else in her life and that she'd be happier if you just wouldn't talk to her anymore."

"She didn't say that! She wouldn't."

"But she did. Oh, also, would you like to see her?" Jay didn't even let me answer my question before he pulled up a TV screen in front of my face. He turned it on and there I saw Artemis.

Soon Jay showed up on the screen. He slapped her around for a minute. How could he treat he like that?! "Artemis!" I yelled.

That's when Nick came down and covered my mouth, "let's not do that, okay?"
