Silence

~Ollie~

After crossing the bridge me and Mia decided to do a bit of investigation until night fell. There had been talk on the police radio that Mr Freeze had invaded Robbinsville and was now being hold hostage in a supermarket warehouse by a mysterious figure.

 

When night fell me and Mia got suited up and headed out across the rooftops. Soon enough we'd arrived at the supermarket. It was on the corner of a plaza and me and Mia stayed up on an overlooking crane to make sure there was nobody guarding the location. There was but it appeared that someone had already dealt with them. I cliimbed down on to one of the rooftops overlooking the plaza to get a better look. I lifted up the lifeless body of one of Mr Freezes thugs and examined his body. Meanwhile Mia landed behind me and inspected a large transmission device that was on the rooftop.

"This is one of Freeze's famous weather machines" She said as she ran her fingers over it's steel body.

"Is it on?" I asked.

"No it's broken" Mia replied "The consoles been destroyed, there's nice hole where the screen smashed. I'll take a closer look"

Mia stuck her hand into the hole in the weather machine as I further examined the body. The thug had been killed quickly and efficiently. His neck was snapped which suggested that the killer had sneaked up behind him and twisted it.

"Very good, very good indeed" I muttered to myself "Whoever did this they were a professional" I called over my shoulder to Mia.

"...and they're intent on framing you" she said producing a green feathered arrow out of the monitor. I dropped the man and turned to face Mia.

"Right, you stay up here and work out where that arrow was fired from, use these" I said handing her a pair of goggles "They work using borrowed Wayne enterprises tech, they'll allow you to track the trajectory. Whilst you do that I'm going to go down the stairs and find out who this guy is."

 

Five minutes later I had picked the lock into the supermarket warehouse. Dead freeze goons lied all over the place but that wasn't my problem. I tracked the trail of corpses and ended up at the supermarkets walk in refrigerators. Of course Freeze would hide in there. Opening the door I walked in to see the room in darkness with Freeze cuffed and sitting up against a crate and a man with bandages over his face lying on the floor cuffed to one of the floor vents. They both looked up as I walked in.

"Green Arrow" Freeze said slowly and methodically

"Oh great" said the guy with the bandages "Now we're three wanted fugitives in a fridge, mind you one of us is always in a fridge"

"What happened here?" I asked calmly

"Why do you think we'll tell you anything..." Started the bandaged one.

"This man sneaked past my men and took me by surprise." Freeze interrupted "He was keeping me captive in here and then a man came in we couldn't see him as he had turned off the lights. He came at my captor with a knife and hit him under the stomach he then cuffed him to the railings and waited for him to die. Of course he hadn't consider the fact that the temperature in this room would keep him alive for at least another three hours. He then started to attack me, destroying several of my suits vital functions. Thankfully he heard a whistle blow as more of my men came in to save me and then fled into the darkness."

I thanked Freeze for his help and then said "Unfortunately whoever did this killed all your men. I am going to place this homing beacon here" I activated and threw one of my beacons to the floor "That will call the police, They should be able to get you help for your knife wound, but of course you are also both going to prison. Farewell." I then left the room and returned to Mia on the rooftop.

 

"Whoever they were they weren't a skilled archer, they only shot from the edge of the roof and almost missed" Mia said as I arrived "Did you find anything"

"Only a pair of criminals and more dead thugs. Although the hooded man was here so I guess that gives us a lead." I answered "All there is to do is to continue"

 

There was a loud crash in the street and I looked down to see Freeze and the bandaged man come out of a door that had been thrown off it's hinges. Damn it, I thought I had them.
