Alex was only half surprised when she watched her girlfriend enter her office.

"Never really pictured you as the office type." Sara said with a smile.

"Job comes with perks. Something you know all too well." Alex said, since they'd taken advantage of the privacy of Alex's office more than once.

"Yep. But that's not why I'm here." Sara said with a smile.

"Then why are you here? I thought you preferred to hang out with Team Arrow." Alex said.

"I need to know if Tobias Church has any federal warrants out for him?" Sara asked.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Because he's here in Star City and until Laurel becomes mayor, the fastest way for us to get intel from the SCPD is my federal agent cover, since while my dad knows I work for the government, he doesn't know that it's Argus, since technically, Argus doesn't exist." Sara said, since her father knew that she worked in law enforcement on a federal level, something he was very proud of, he didn't know that she worked for an organization that technically didn't exist.

"Let me check." Alex said as she accessed her records and she smiled when she found something.

"Yep, apparently since local authorities have proven in the past to be relatively inefficient to dealing with him, mostly due to corruption, Church's case has been handled to the FBI, which just so happens to be the organization you have a cover with." Alex said.

"Thank you." Sara said as she kissed her.

"Oh Sara, one more thing." Alex said.

"Yeah?" Sara asked.

"Don't forget we have a date tonight at that hotel." Alex said.

"Yeah, still trying to figure out why you insisted on having it at a hotel bar." Sara said.

"You'll see." Alex said with a smile as Sara walked out of her office.

"Sara, what are you doing here?" Quentin asked in surprise as he saw his younger daughter enter the precinct.

"Here to inform you that I'll be helping out with your case against Tobias Church." Sara said.

"How do you know about that?" Quentin asked.

"You do remember that I work for the FBI right? Since Church has essentially taken over the criminal underworlds of 4 other cities with the cops there proving to be ineffective, he's upgraded to a federal case." Sara said as she held out a warrant for her father to examine.

"Okay then, guess we're partners on this." Quentin said.

"Guess so. Now, what do you know about the victims?" Sara asked.

"A dealer, his girlfriend, 2 los Halcones and one of ours. Keating." Quentin said.

"Sounds like this police force has the same problem as the ones in every other city Church has taken over." Sara said.

"Yeah, hopefully your sister will be elected mayor and then she'll give me clearance to do what I need to route out who's bad." Quentin said.

"Hopefully." Sara said, though she already knew that one of Laurel's plans was to re evaluate every member of the police force.

"How's her campaign going by the way?" Quentin asked.

"You know, you could ask her yourself." Sara said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Quentin said as Sara began going through more of the evidence.

"Hey sis, you might want to add get a new police force to your campaign promises." Sara said as she entered the lair.

"Really, why?" Laurel asked.

"Because it sounds like the SCPD might have a serious corruption problem on its hands." Sara said.

"What makes you say that?" Oliver asked, though he already knew.

"The cop found at the scene, Keating, he wasn't supposed to be there. Dad thinks that he was there trying to steal the contraband for himself." Sara said.

"He must've had back up. We find out who else was there that night and we can track them from there." Oliver said and Sara nodded.

"My dad thought along similar lines. He's working on that as we speak." Sara said.

"I'm honestly surprised your dad hasn't been made a captain yet, since he's probably one of the best cops on the force." Oliver said.

"Dad said he prefers being a detective. It lets him actually feel like he's doing some good." Laurel said and Oliver nodded, since he could understand that.

Tobias Church was currently planning his next move on taking the city, when suddenly, he felt the temperature drop.

"What's going on. The heater busted?" Church asked as suddenly, a strange man walked up to him.

"Hello Tobias." the white haired man as he approached them.

"What do you want?" Church asked.

"Simply to help you, as we have a common goal." the man said in a strange and distorted voice.

"And that is?" Church asked.

"Taking out the Green Arrow." the man said.

"And why do you want him dead?" Church asked.

"That's my business, but I will say that his frosty companion, Frostbite I believe she calls herself, I have business with her. But I need the Green Arrow out of the way before I can make a move." the man said.

"So, you help me take out the Green Arrow and I give you the girl?" Church asked, trying to make sure he understood.

"Sound reasonable?" the man asked.

"Yeah, but I got one question for you." Church said.

"And that is?" the man said.

"What do I call you?" Church asked and the man grinned.

"Call me, the Icicle." Icicle said with a mad grin on his face.

The Icicle has returned and he is free. I'll explain how he's free soon, since that will tie into a later part of the story. Anyways, hope you liked the twist.
