Save Me

Untitled Part 12

John and Lyla walked down 1st street keeping their eyes open for any sign of Damian Darhk. The fact that he was in town was not only puzzling but worrisome to them due to the fact he had not taken on a contract killing in quite a while. He was known more now for leading a crime organization that worked in both drugs and weapons so they both had to question what would make him turn back to being a hired killer?

John spotted him sitting in a Cafe a few yards ahead, his distinctive white hair standing out through the pane glass window as he casually sipped a cup of coffee and watched the passersby. John noticed him tense up when they approached, and John hit the signal on his phone for the agents they had called to make their move on him. He had been on A.R.G.U.S.'s most wanted list for over a year and John and Lyla both took great satisfaction as his eyes turned resigned and he stood and placed his arms behind his back.

"Well, well Mr. Darhk. What brings you to our fair town?" John crossed his arms and looked at Damian with a smirk. Something seemed odd because it seemed too easy for them to have caught him when he had evaded their agents for so long.

"Just enjoying a hot cup of coffee John. Is that too much to ask?"

"In my town it is. We have been looking for you for quite a while. I am surprised you would show yourself so easily." Lyla watched his expression stiffen as he turned to her.

"I haven't done anything wrong, so I don't understand why A.R.G.U.S., would be looking for me. Don't you have other bad buys to be hunting?"

Lyla could not stand the man, his arrogance always off-putting and when he smirked at her she wanted to wipe the smirk right off his face.

"Oh, so bringing drugs into the U.S., and having your lackeys distribute them on the streets is nothing? Selling weapons to gangs is nothing?" John's expression gave nothing away, but he detested the man and he prayed that A.R.G.U.S., had enough to put him away for life.

As the agents finished cuffing him Damian looked at John and smiled a cold smile, "She's, here isn't she?"

"Who?" John knew exactly who he was referring to but kept his cool.

"Felicity Adams. How else would you guys know I was here?"

"One of our agents saw you walking down 1st street in the daylight. Big mistake. As for this lady you are talking about, I don't know anyone by that name. Do you Lyla?"

Lyla gave Damian a cold glare, "I have never heard that name." She looked at the agents holding him and commanded, "Get this guy out of here and lock him up in our facility on the edge of town. We can send him to headquarters tomorrow."

Damian smirked at them both again, "David Adams is no fool. He is paying good money to anyone who will find his wife and I guarantee you he will find her. Someone has already given him this town name, hence the reason I came. You guys won't be able to protect her."

John motioned for the agents to stop as he asked, "Who is saying she is here?"

Damian's cold blue eyes turned to John, "You will be surprised. It is someone within A.R.G.U.S."

John motioned for the men to take him away. He could question him more when he escorted him to the headquarters tomorrow. Right now, they needed to find Oliver and Felicity.

Felicity sighed for the tenth time as she worked on her program. Oliver had insisted they stay in her apartment while John and Lyla took care of Damian and even though she had a lot to work on she was going stir crazy. It was one thing to work from your home knowing you could get up and leave when you wanted but being stuck there not being able to leave was driving her insane.
