Here is chapter 7. Enjoy.
Beast Boy woke up from lying in the middle of the street. "Wha…? Raven?" he asked. She was nowhere to be found. Beast Boy felt a stinging sensation on his neck and reached for it. "I remember." He pulled a tranquilizer dart out of the left side of his neck with a hard yank, causing him to yelp slightly. "White van, Raven screaming…how did they get her?" It became too clear. Beast Boy walked to where the van was parked and found another tranquilizer dart beside the curb. "I thought she was too good of a fighter to go down that easily."
"Beast Boy," the team called from behind him. "What happened?"
"They got her!" Beast Boy growled, balling his fists. "Shot her with the same dart they got me with too. Robin, we have to find her!"
"We will," Robin said. "Do you remember anything that will help?"
"They hauled her off in a white Chevy cargo van," Beast Boy stated. "I don't remember the license plate number."
"They couldn't have gotten far," Cyborg said. "I'll talk with Jump Police and get them to check for any white Chevy cargo vans in town.""
"We get the freeways," Robin stated. "Starfire, take the air and provide over watch. Tell us everything you see." She nodded and flew off. "We'll take the T-car…?"
"You will take it," B said. "I'm looking for her by myself." As if on cue, Beast Boy's cell phone rang. It was Randy. "Not now, Randy," Beast Boy said. "I am busy…what? A tour van. Describe it for me!" Beast Boy turned pale. The girls donated the van to the tour! "We are sending a roadie to pick it up!"
"DON'T DO IT!" Beast Boy screamed. "Where did they leave the van?"
"Underneath the 70 overpass," Randy said. "Why?"
"I'll get it." Beast Boy hung up his phone. "These girls may have either gotten sloppier or smarter," he said. "They gave the van to UF. Now they could just be nice, or it could be a bomb. Starfire called in. "Robin, I see the van," she said. "It is turning under the 'freeway'."
"What freeway?"
"70," she stated. "Possibly, friend Raven is with them."
"Stay there Starfire," Beast Boy yelled. "I'm heading over. Report anything unusual."

"Come on we don't have all day!" Stacy said. "Get it in place."
"Hold your horses!" Lindsay shouted. "This has to be perfect. One misplaced wire and…?"
She was cut off by a scream of anger. "Shut her up!"
"Can't we just kill her?" Cassey asked. "It would be fun."
"No. We take care of the group first and then we kill the birdie!"
"Guys," Stacy said pointing to six patrol cars. "We have trouble!"
"I know what to do," Lindsay said. "Go in the back and grab that case we saw earlier."
Cassey ran to the back of the van and pulled out a black slender case that read Rocket Propelled Grenade on the side. "Lindsay you are a genius!"

"Robin," Starfire said over the communicator. "Police are arriving! What should I do?'
"I am almost there,
Star," Beast Boy said. "Just stay close." Beast Boy morphed
into a cheetah and began sprinting down the freeway towards the
overpass. He could hear the sirens of the police getting closer.
"Star," Robin said. "I am heading northbound on my R-Cycle, you
should be able to see me." Star looked to the northern side of the
freeway and saw Robin speeding frantically towards the overpass.
"Beast Boy is southbound. He'll be there soon too."
"The
police have stopped at the overpass," Starfire said. Suddenly,
there was a puff of smoke followed by an earth-rattling explosion.
"Jesus!" Robin screamed. He actually felt the heat from the
blast. "Star! What was that?"
"A patrol car just 'blew
up'!" Star directed her attention to the freeway above the
bridge. The three girls were running on the freeway above and they
had Raven with them! "Robin!" Star screamed. "On the bridge!
Look!" She watched as one girl sat an RPG on her shoulder and
pulled the trigger sending a grenade in the direction of a police car
with officers still inside. "No!" Star quickly flew down and
followed the missile. She fired two star bolts at the grenade and
watched breathlessly as it exploded only feet away from the vehicle.
"These girls are very mean!"
Beast Boy leapt up onto the freeway and pounced on Cassey just after she fired the RPG round. A shot rang out. Stacy and Lindsay managed to hijack a pickup truck by shooting the driver while Cassey distracted Beast Boy, but he didn't notice that the team members were getting away. "Where is she?!" Beast Boy asked Cassey, who only grinned. "Wouldn't you like to know?" she responded. He saw the red pickup truck speed off with the former driver lying on the ground dead. Beast Boy reached for Cassey's Smith and Wesson sidearm and placed it to her head. "Tell me everything or your brains will decorate the pavement!" Beast Boy reached for his communicator with a free hand. "Robin I have one of them. The other two stole a Red Dodge Ram pickup truck and took off west down interstate 24. Raven is in the bed. Follow them!" He looked up to see Starfire begin the pursuit. "I see Raven," she exclaimed. Robin pulled onto the freeway in a matter of seconds. "Star sit back!" Robin exclaimed. "They have guns!" Robin revved is bike's engine and shifted into fourth gear to speed up towards the hostile truck. He got close enough to where he was able to shoot his grappling hook at the tailgate. "Star," Robin said. "Distract them somehow. If they see me climb into the back I am one cooked goose!" Starfire began heaving massive star bolts in front of the truck, forcing the driver to pay attention to the road ahead. "Nice job!" Robin exclaimed. "I'm going in." He tied the end of the hook to the handles of his R-cycle and set it to cruise control. Robin then began climbing hand-over-hand up to the tailgate while the truck began weaving in and out of Starfire's craters. When he popped his head over the gate, he saw that Lindsay had her 12-gauge shotgun pointed out of the window in his direction, causing him to duck only a second before she fired. Robin rose up again and quickly looked for Raven. She was now unconscious and bleeding from her head from being dropped into the bed in such a violent manner. There was another shotgun blast and Robin felt a searing pain in his left shoulder. He looked and all he could see was a bloody mass of skin and flesh. Robin clutched at his arm and fell off the truck to the solid pavement below.

Beast Boy personally sat Cassey into a squad car. "See you soon, honey," he mocked. "Very soon." He turned to one of the police officers. "Can I borrow your wheels?" he asked pointing to a Chevy Corvette in police markings. "Have you ever driven anything like this before?" the officer asked back. "I'll pay for any damages," Beast Boy mentioned. The cop tossed him a set of keys. "Sixth gear is deadly," he said. "That is only for the experienced. Don't say I didn't warn you." Beast Boy lifted up the suicide-style door to the driver's seat and started the sports car up. He pushed in the clutch and with his right hand, brought the car into first gear and peeled out onto the 24 Freeway with sirens blaring. "Wow I love this car."

"Robin!" Starfire screamed. She was flying above when she saw him hit the pavement. "Cyborg. Robin is in trouble. He has been shot. I must pursue them."
"Okay Starfire," Cy
said. I am on my way!" suddenly Cy came on again.
"What the…?
I just got passed by a cop Corvette." He cut off. "It's Beast
Boy!"

"Beast Boy come in!" Cy called to the green changeling. He reached over to the passenger seat and answered. "What are you doing? Why are you driving my dream car?"
"Long story," Beast Boy said. "Look, I'm busy so this better be important."
"It is…Robin's been shot." Beast Boy lowered his head. "Where?"
"In the shoulder by a 12 gauge," Cyborg said. "You should be coming up on him soon being that you just past me."
"Cy you have to take care of him," Beast Boy said. "I'm going to get Raven. Where is Star?"
"Chasing them down as we speak," Cy explained. "She's worried though. I am too. She told me that his blood can be seen from the…?"
"Oh no!" Beast Boy looked. Robin was laying unconscious His face was severally bruised from the fall and he had to have at least two broken limbs. His left arm looked as if it were severed as he lay in his own pool of blood. Beast Boy slammed on his brakes and opened the door to rush to his comrade. "Hang in there, Robin!" he stated quickly running to open the trunk of the police car where he knew a medical kit would be. He opened it up and saw a few ace bandages, some gauze pads, and some items to make a tourniquet. "Cy's on his way, Robin. Hold on!" He heard the leader groan softly in pain as Beast Boy began examining his wounds. "A broken arm, some ribs, fingers, not to mention the hole in your shoulder. I have to set the bone in your arm. And it is going to hurt." Beast Boy reached for Robin's arm and snapped the bone in place causing the brave titan to scream in agony. Cyborg arrived shortly after. "He's really banged up," Beast Boy said. "I've called in for an ambulance by using the car's radio. Now you stay with him."
"What about you?"
"I'm going hunting," the teen replied. "I'm going to get some guns and fight fire with fire. They wanted me to suffer, now it's there turn!"
