White Wolf (Laurel Lance)

Monster (Edited)

AN: in previous chapter, I saw a few errors in the beginning of it so I made a few corrections so that you'll understand what's going on here.

March 2016

Star City

D.A's Office.

"Wow, that's.. Unbelievable." Remz uttered his amazement after Quentin Lance finished narrating his story of his involvement with Damien Darhk: How it started, how he played his part Darhk's criminal operations, the cripple of the city council the cover up of the crimes that was committed by Ghosts, everything from murder, bank robbery, larceny: The whole nine yards. Laurel was sitting next to her father across the acting D.A. of Star City.

She contacted her father and asked him for his help and surprisingly he agreed to it. His reason was that when he became a cop, he made a promise to himself that if he ever crossed the line between an officer and criminal, he'd be no better than the those he's sworn to protect the city from. Specially seeing that Darhk orchestrated the attempted murder on Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak Last Christmas.

"Believe it, Remz." Laurel stated, a confident look on her face.

"I'll tell Judge Balderrama right away about this. This will be a huge turning point in the trial this Sunday" Remz said,

Laurel smiled, pleased of his answer. "Perfect. My offer is pretty straight forward. Captain Lance's testimony in exchange for full immunity."

"Your father just confessed to being an accessory in how many crimes?" He asked his Assistant D.A. incredulously, not believing what he just heard while rising up from his chair.

"Cases that you would never make in a million years without my client's testimony." Laurel argued, getting off her chair as well while her father remained seated.

"Normally that would be true if it was just corruption, but Captain Lance is a law enforcement officer." Nemz gestured to the elder Lance who was unusually quiet but there was a guilty expression on his face. "That looked the other way while a City representative was murdered right in front of him and he didn't say a damn word about it."

"He couldn't because my life was threatened and if he did, he would've been charged with first degree murder." She said, making her point across. "Can you say the same if roles were reversed and you were blackmailed, having no choice but follow every order or else you would be sentenced to life for a crime you didn't commit?"

Nemz had no answer to that.

Laurel sat back on her seat."If you don't accept the terms, we'll walk out of your office right now and the deal expires. What's gonna be?"

Nemz thought long and hard about this. "Six years. On each count. But that's it."

Laurel was about to make an protest when her father cut her off. He overheard pretty much anything and as much he appreciated Laurel standing up for him, D.A Nemz was. He'd watched Marc Guggenheim getting murdered in his own homeand couldn't do a damn thing about it. "He's right, Laurel. I did the crime."

"Dad."

"It's ok, baby." Quentin reassured his oldest before gazing back to Nemz. "I'll take the deal."

"Then it's settled."

Star City Courthouse.

Sunday

Sunday couldn't have arrived any faster as Damien Darhk who was the defendant glowered with burning hatred and Captain Lance was on witness stand in the courtroom.
