Always happy to get another Birds of Prey page especially with Huntress (and Oracle, I feel like I don't have enough Oracle in my collection). This is from the 2nd part of the "Of Like Minds" storyline. This is also the issue that brought back Huntress and featured her as a main character in the Birds of Prey series going forward.

Savant and Creote have captured Black Canary and are using her to blackmail Oracle into giving up Batman's secret identity. Oracle desperate for help contacts Huntress, However before Oracle can reveal exactly what she needs Huntress's help with, Huntress says she's too busy at the moment because she's located where the group behind a recent child abduction are staying (She also remarks that she got on their trail because she saw one of the suspects ordering fast food earlier in the day and followed him back, something Batman who doesn't go out during the day wouldn't have been able to do). So Oracle agrees to help Huntress finish her case first. Huntress jumps down to the floor where the abductors are and while Huntress and Oracle are discussing their next move, Oracle warns Huntress that someone is coming up behind her. Not able to react in time, one of the thugs behind the abduction grabs Huntress by the throat.
