The Arrow - Oliver Queen

Keep Your Enemies Closer

Sams POV

I was walking up to Oliver's office to get him, but I saw Rochev in there.

"You were suppose to sigh this report at last nights board meeting? You know why you didn't?" I hear Rochev telling Oliver as I walk into the doorway of his office.

"Probably because I didn't attend the board meeting." Oliver responds.

"Where were you?" Rochev asks.

"I have other interests outside of this company." Oliver tells her.

"I don't." Rochev says.

"Mr. Queen." I call trying to get Oliver attention. He looks at me before Rochev starts talking again.

"I thought you were serious when you said we were partners." Rochev says.

"Isabel, I missed one meeting." Oliver tells her.

"This week. Last week, it was two meetings." She says exasperated.

"Mr. Queen." I try again.

"Company wide revenue is at double digits since you and I took over." Oliver says ignoring me.

"Oliver!" I say louder than necessary.

"Yes?" He asks.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your..." I say making claws with my hands before continue in, "Um, I need to talk to you about your plans for this evening. With Mr. Harper?"

"You'll have to excuse me." Oliver says to Rochev.

"We have work to do." She tells him. "It's important."

"So are my evening plans." He tells her. "I'm sorry." He passes her and walks over to me as we fall into step he whispers, "We are going to have to work on your excuses."

"You're right." I whisper back as we leave.

Felicity, Oliver and I were in the Arrowcave watching the news when Dig came in.

"Where'd you go? Is everything okay?" Oliver asks him.

"Yeah." Dog responds. "I just need a few personal days.

"What's going on?" Oliver asks.

"Have to help a friend." Dig tells him.

"Who?"

Dig pauses before answering, "Lyla Michaels."

"It's his spy girlfriend that works for ARGUS." I tell Oliver who's standing next to my chair.

"She went to Russia looking for Deadshot... for me." Dig says. "And now she's missing."

"Sam, I think it's time we visited our Queen Consolidated subsidiary in Moscow." Oliver tells me.

"Yeah." I agree.

"And I'll stay here in case something happens." Felicity says.

"Oliver, what are you doin?" Dig asks.

"Just need to help a friend." He responds.

"I can't ask you to do that." Dig says.

"You didn't." Oliver tells him.

We were at the airport walking to the plane when Dig asks Oliver, "Are you forgetting something?"

We watch as Rochev gets out of her car. "Where do you think you're going?" She asks.

"Tahiti." I answer.

"That's funny." She says sounding anything but amused. "The flight manifest says you're going to Moscow."
