Chapter 18 - THE TRICKSTER(1) (1/2)
He arrives at Caitlin's house and saw the car. He opens the door and saw scratches all over the chair as to when she struggled with the kidnappers. He searches the car for a while, but found nothing.
Just when he was about to leave, he received a phone call.
He checks the caller ID...
”Caitlin??!!!..... ”
”Barry please, help me, i have been.... ”
she began muffling. Obviously they gagged her mouth.
”Hello, Allen”,a man voice sounded from the speaker...
”Whoever you are let Caitlin go”
”No so fast Allen, or should I say Flash”,the man said and chuckled.
”Huh” Barry was startled,
”Who are you, and how did you know who I am”, Barry said, fuming with anger
”Well I go by many names...some call me psychopath, thief, criminal... but I prefer to be called 'the Trickster'”.
Barry eyes widened as he heard that name.
”Check the note under the driver seat. I'll be expecting you, Flash.”, he said and hung up
Barry checks and finds the note.....
The note reads;
”I just took a little compensation for the cargo you spoiled. Nothing personal .Come to 17th South Avenue. Will be expecting you Flash”
”As much as I don't like this. I have to share a little intel with Cisco.” I wouldn't want him to get suspicious.
***WHOOSH***
MEANWHILE AT STAR LABS...
Wells moves his wheelchair slowly into the room and meets Cisco pacing.
”What's the matter, Ramon?”, he asked moving his chair closer to him.
”Uhm... Caitlin's been kidnapped” Cisco replied.
”Kidnapped?? Shed more light on this, will you?”
5 minutes later....
”We just have to wait for Barry to come back. Don't get worked up, Cisco.” Wells said and places his hand on Cisco's palm.
Barry arrives almost immediately.
”She's been kidnapped for sure. I found out their hideout”, Barry said
”Then we have to call the Police”, Wells said.
”No, we can't do that”, Barry replied.
”Why”, Cisco said some hints of anger on his face.
”They know about my identity as the Flash”, Barry said and sighed.
”What!!!” Wells and Cisco exclaimed.
”Yeah and they want me to come in-person or she dies. So, we can't contact the Police. I'll think of something”, He said
”We have to think of a plan.”,Cisco said
”There's no time for that. She might be killed if we delayed.” Barry said, swiping the Sonar Machine off the table.
”I'm going now. But I'll survey with the Sonar machine. I'll bring Caitlin back”, Barry added
”Good luck. Barry” Wells said.
”If I've got a plan. I'll radio you. I'll get the place under surveillance”,Cisco said.
