The Arrow - Oliver Queen

Home Invasion

Sams POV
"He's on another continent." I hear Oliver tell Dig as Felicity and I come in.

"Not anymore." I state making Dig and Oliver look my way with a weird look on their face. I also see Felicity making the cut it out sign and shaking her head from beside me. "Okay..."

Felicity cleared her throat, "We thought it would be helpful to track A.R.G.U.S's manhunt." She explains as we sit down in our chairs. "for Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot."

"So we decrypted their communication logs." I explain. "Which means, we just hacked a federal agency. Which kind of makes us cyber terrorists which is bad because I really don't see us fitting in well at Guantanamo Bay."

"Don't worry, Sam, they don't send good people there." Oliver tells me.

"Hey, what's you two find?" Dig asks getting our attention.

"Deadshot is scheduled to meet with a potential new client here in Starling City except the potential contract is bogus." Felicity explains.

"Your friend Lyla is setting a trap for him." I tell them. "Lawton took the bait."

"Great." Dig says. "I'll talk to Lyla, see if I can still suss out any details."

"Good." Oliver says. "I gotta have lunch with Laurel." We all look at him.

"So when did you become, uh, lunch dates with Laurel?" Dig asks.

"Look, we're just... uh, we're friends." Oliver says.

"Friends are good." I tell him.

"But?" He asks walking away.

"Couldn't you be friends with someone less complicated than your ex-girlfriend who's ex-best friends current girlfriend?" I ask cringing.

"I wear a hood and I put arrows into criminals so when it comes to complexity.." He says as he walks away. "I grade on a curve."

The next day Felicity, Dig, and I are all in the Arrowcave when Oliver walks in. "What's this?" He asks.

"Lylas mission profile on the trap they've set for Deadshot." I inform him.

"Lawton is set to meet his new employer and get his assignment tomorrow at 8:00 p.m." Dig tells us. "Only his new employer will be an A.R.G.U.S. agent." Oliver comes to stand next to me as Felicity and I pull stuff up on our computers. "Lyla will then swoop is with her team and arrest him."

"Do you want Lawton arrested?" Oliver asks him.

They look at each other for a second before Dig shakes his head replying, "No."

"Then tomorrow night we cross Floyd Lawton's name off your list." Oliver tells him. "There is something else we need to look into. Two of Laurels clients were murdered last night. Their seven-year-old son barely escaped."

"That's terrible." Dig comments.

"Edward Rasmus, the financial advisor Laurel was taking to court, may not have pulled the trigger but he probably called in the hit. I want you two," he says turning to Felicity and me. "to get into his corporate accounts phone records, anything that may link him to the killer. Okay?"

"Hmm-mhm." We both hum.

Oliver motions with his head to the side like he wants to talk to me, so I get up and follow him a few feet away from Felicity and Dig. "Is there... anything you want to tell me? Or one of them?" He asks motioning to Felicity and Dig who are acting like they aren't watching us.

I think back to the threat note Helena left before shaking my head, "No. Not that I can think of."

We just stare at each other for a moment before he nods, "Okay." He says softly. "But if there is ever anything you need to talk about... I'm here."
