Battling Arrows ⊳ Oliver Queen [ 1 ] ✓

      "WE GOT A BODY" Danny said, walking in.

"I'm not surprised." I told him. "In this city, everyone gets killed." I told him. He send me a knowing look. He passed me a photo of the victim. I recognized him. I shared the file on my bag, pulling it out. I handed Danny the file. "Turns out Paul Copani has some work issues. He worked for Bartinelli Construction. Owned by Frank Bartinelli, who happens to be deep in the mafia." I told Danny.

"He was talking to Moira Queen about a deal they were having." Danny said to me. "I already called the hospital. She is fine." He added. 

I send him a thankful look. "Thank god. I was starting worry." I told him. I saw Aidan walked passed us, sending me a wink. I smiled at him. Danny turned to look at him.

"You are true sweethearts." Danny said, sipping on his coffee. He handed me one.

"Maybe," I told him, sipping on my coffee too. It has been hard weeks. Oliver and Tommy hardly talk to me. I think it's because of Aidan. Then you have my wonderful work, which I love, to fulfill most of my time. Plus, I got Jamie's birthday coming up in a few months, and I haven't planned on anything.

"You don't talk during work, which surprises me." Danny said to me.

"Well, love and work don't mix." I told him.

"You should tell that to yourself. You are the one dating a cop." Danny said. He looked at Lance who was coming out way. "Speaking of which," He said to me.

"I'm guessing you are already working on that murder, Paul Copani." Lance said to me.

"What does it look like?" I asked, standing up, taking all the files I had of Frank Bartinelli. I pulled them out.

"Didn't a person talked to the FBI a couple of years ago about Frank Bartinelli?" Danny said.

"Yes, I was there. This was one of my first cases. The court told me that I didn't had enough information, which was a lie." I told him. "They just said it because of fear. Apparently fear is the most powerful thing."

"No, necessary. We got you." Danny said, pointing it out.

"Thank you Danno." I told him. "What do you want?" I asked him. At this point, we didn't bother to be polite. We just went straight forward when it came to this type of cases.

"We went to the hospital and talked to Oliver. He said that his mother was..." Lance started, but I cut him off.

"They were doing a deal, we know." I told him. "He is linked to the mafia too. So, we are talking about deep shit here." I told him. I looked down at the case. Lance just sighed, walking away.

"You are giving him a heart time." Danny said. I rolled my eyes, picking up a pen. "You know that, don't you." Danny said to me.

"I know, but this isn't what I have in mind. Now, we have to think of why he was killed. Problems on the mafia are really common." I told him.

"But look at the wounds. This guy isn't a pro. He killed one of the trusted man." He said to me.

"But to know that, you have to be deep inside to know about all of the head people. Not all people know that Frank Bartenilli works with a mafia." I told him.

"We are dealing with a war within the mob." He said.

"A war that has started, and it will lead to more." I told him. "I think we could consult your dad, and I have another source who will helps us on this." I told him.

"I will call my dad. You consult the source you know, and we will do what we always do." Danny said.

"Which is?" I asked him.
