Outside Queen Consolidated - DAY

Barry pulls to a stop in front of Q.C. in his Ducati and pulls off his helmet.

(Barry looked at the front doors, where his mother and another man were exiting)

Copani (Begging): Mrs. Queen, all I'm asking for is a chance to sit down and discuss our proposal.

(Copani struggles to keep up with Moira, before she stops and turns to face him)

Moira: If that's all it is, then I can save us both the time. It's rejected.

Copani: I see. May I ask why?

Moira: Do I really need to answer that, Mr. Copani?

(Moira noticed Barry on his bike)

Moira: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going out for lunch.

Barry waved at Moria to let her know that he had seen her, but suddenly the sound of another motorcycle caught his attention. He looked over his shoulder to see a rider, dressed all in black and riding a Harley Davidson jump the curb. The rider pulled out a gun and aimed it at Moira and Copani.

Barry (Shouting): Get down!

Barry jumped off his bike. Too late, the other rider opened fire, hitting Copani several times in the chest. As he fell back, he crashed into Moira, and both tumbled to the ground hard. The biker took off just as Barry crossed the street. Ignoring the rider, he went to his mom.

Barry (Worried): Moira? Are you okay?

(Barry looks over his mother for any wounds)

Moira: I'm all right.

Barry: Are you hurt?

Moira: No, I'm-I'm-

(Moira saw Mr. Copani lying dead next to her, and quickly turned away)

Barry: Are you sure?

Moira: I'm fine.

Barry: You're sure you're fine?

(Moira nods in response and Barry stands, turning to face an oncoming security guard)

Barry (Shouting): Call 9-1-1!

With that, Barry took off through the plaza running after the biker. He ran parallel to the bike, dodging cars as he crossed the street. He saw the bike turn on to a side road, and ran down an alley. As he ran, he grabbed a piece of rebar in a dumpster and, timing it perfectly, threw the rebar like a spear, damaging the bike's rear tire as it went past.

Before he could pursue, though, a large semi's horn blared and he stopped millimeters from being hit as the semi sped past. By the time the truck cleared and Barry could get a clear look, the bike was gone.

Starling General Hospital - Day

Moira was in a private room getting checked over by her doctor when Thea led Barry into the room,

Barry (To the doctor): Hi. (To Moira) Are you okay?

Moira: I'm fine. I'm fine. (To Thea) Did you reach Walter?

THEA: No. I'm sorry.

Doctor: As I was telling Thea and Moira, the CAT-Scan showed a grade two concussion. She can go home so long as someone stays with her just to make sure there are no after effects.
