Chapter 34 - SUSPICIONS

"I can also grant objects the ability to phase through other objects. Cool. But I'd rather not test it out here, Wells might be watching the footage.", he said silently.

(But I guess I can test out my strength. My body feels a whole lot sturdier and stronger now. Like I possess the power of the entire world)

He slightly slapped his hand towards a metal rail and bent it.

"I wonder how strong I would be if I used my entire strength", he said and laughed out loud.

Wells who was monitoring him, suddenly scratched his head and thought, "What's wrong with him?"

Barry went to see Caitlin and Cisco before he left for home.

***************

He flipped on the light switch and the room was immediately lighted. He was about to take a soak in the bathtub when his phone rang.

"Hello Barry ", a hoarse voice sounded.

"Hi Joe. What's up?", he asked.

" I'm sorry Joe. How about I take you out for dinner, my treat.", he replied in a nice, pleasing tone.

"I'm no pretty girl, that tactic can't work on me.", he said and laughed.

" Just come to work as fast as you can. And then, I haven't seen Iris for some time now. I thought she might be with you", Joe said.

"I just got home myself. Have you checked at Eddie's?"

"Yeah. Same thing. I just hope she isn't in any trouble", Joe said.

"I'll check for you. Don't stress yourself Joe", Barry replied and hung up.

"What the hell happened to her. I hope she's not been attacked by those guys, cause it seems they are hell bent on slowing me down",he thought.

***** STAR LABS *****

"Can you help me track her cellphone location", Barry asked earnestly.

Caitlin just sat there, dumbfounded, thinking, "Isn't this the same thing that happened to me. There should be some motives behind this all, right?..."

"Found it!!",Cisco suddenly said.

"Great. Now tell me where", Barry said as he leaned on the top of the chair.

Cisco zoomed in the diagram slowly and immediately after, he had a shocked expression on his face.

"C'mon! Where is it", Barry said.

"She's... right here... at Star labs", Cisco said confused.

"Uhn?? How come?", Barry said, "She couldn't possibly be here. She's never been here before."

"What's happening? Why are you all so tense?", Wells said as he entered the lab.

Caitlin explained the situation to him, while Barry was pacing.

"Barry you can go on ahead and check everywhere you think she might be.", Wells said, and quickly added, "I see if I can think of something".

Barry nodded and went out. However, he didn't leave the lab. He was having a bad feeling about all this, so he decided to search the entire building for clues.
