Love in the Night | Dick Grayson

Ch 18: Deathstroke

"Let's go" he said.

I put on a jacket as we walked through the tunnels. I looked around with the phone in my hand.

"Keep your heads on a swivel guys, Dr. Light could still be down here" Dick said.

I continued walking further when Donna spoke.

"Dick, there's no sign of Jason's tracker on the third floor" Donna said.

"Liv, you find anything?" Dick asked.

"Nope" I said.

"Guys, I got something" he said. "Sending over the coordinates now."

I looked at the phone following the coordinates until I found Dick staring at the wall. I flashed my light all over as the others came.

"This is fucked" Hank said.

"He was attacked here" Dick said. "Then dragged. Tracks disappear a hundred yards down."

"Poor kid" I whispered.

"He did it to himself" Hank said.

"Shut up, Hank!" I said. "He's still a kid!"

Hank turned his attention to Dick.

"Back it up, the kid is bait to you know?" He asked. "Is that right? That's rich, Dick."

"You were bagging on him a minute ago, and now he's your best friend?" Dick asked.

"Not about me pal" he said. "This is all because of you and your big dumb fuckin idea to start up the Titans again!"

"I'm out" Dawn said.

"Yep, me too" Donna added.

"What where you goin?" Hank asked.

"To get Jason. And for the record, this is all of our faults" Dawn said turning around. "Every single one of us. So get over it and move on."

The tunnels went silent as Dick looked at the wall again.

"What is it?" I asked.

We watched as he snatched a camera from the corner.

"Oh fuck" I said. "They've been watching us the whole fucking time!"

I looked around blasting every camera I could see.

"I got something" Dick said.

I looked at the tracker.

"He's not moving" I said.

Dick ran up the stairs as we followed him. There was a body hanging but as Dick got closer it was clear the body wasn't Jason's.

"It's fucking Dr. Light" he said.

"What the fuck" Hank said.

Dick let his head go as Jason's tracker fell to the ground.

"Is that Jason's tracker?" Dawn asked.

"Someone cut it out of him" I said.

"Well, if Dr. Light's dead. Where the fuck is Jason?" Hank asked.

"Must be working with a partner" Donna said.

The cellphone in Dr. Lights pocket began ringing. Dick went to grab it before answering it.

"I see you found my gift" the voice said.

"It's Deathstroke" Dick said. "Where's Jason!"

"Oh. You mean your little sidekick" he said.
