*Base*

I am punching a dummy and throwing knives while Ollie lifts weights. This was our usual workout routine. Sometimes I do go on the salmon ladder though. Then I see Ollie going towards the computer. I stop throwing my knives and collect them, I go by Ollie to see what he was doing. James Holder. His corporation put defective smoke detectors in low-income housing in The Glades.  There have been many fires...and too many funerals. It's good he is on dad's list. 

Ollie and I grab our equipment, and head out. 

*At James Holder's place*

Ollie and I were perched up on top of his roof. He was talking on his phone, after he was done I grabbed one of Ollie's arrow and throw it at a bottle of champagne he was holding. Ollie and I then jump over to him, by his pool. He looks at us and says, "I've got armed security inside. All I have to do is call out." "Go ahead." Ollie says. "They can't hear you." I finish and throw one of the securities guns on the floor for proof.  Yeah we might've kicked their asses. 

"What the hell do you two want?" James asks. "How many people died in those fires?" Ollie asked. "How many?" He yells. "The courts say you don't owe your victims anything. We disagree." I say. "James Holder-" Ollie says but gets cut off my someone shooting James in the heart. Ollie and I both jump. What the hell? Neither of us did that, I guess someone else had a vendetta against him. Ollie and I both fire our weapons the direction gun shot. The shooter shoots at us, but we hide behind a wall. I look behind me to see James. He's dead in the pool. I look at my arm and it's bleeding, the bullet must've got me a little before it struck James. Ollie finally notices, "M, we need to get out of here." He says. I look at him. "You think?" I say. 

*Base*

Ollie got the bullet out of me and I stitched myself up. "One more scar to add to the collection." I say sarcastically. I cross James's name off on the book. He wasn't killed by us though. I wince in pain as the burning sensation continues. I get up from my chair, but stagger and fall. Ollie get's up and gets to my side. "The bullet...Poison..." I mutter out. Ollie quickly gets into his bag and pulls out a herb and gives it to me. I quickly put it in my mouth and drink water to get it down. I then lay down on the ground, realived. 

*Flashback*

I wake up to see a cave. I slowly get up and see Ollie sleeping beside me. I try to wake him up, "Ollie, Ollie" I say finally he wakes up. "Where the hell are we?" We say in unison. I then realize I have a dagger in my chest, I groan in pain. Honestly not the worst pain I have felt. I had martial arts training, so it sometimes got brutal in there. I then see Ollie has an arrow in him. The man who shot Ollie with an arrow and daggered me came back. "Who are you?" Ollie asks. "Why did you shoot me and stab my sister?" He continues. He speaks in his language, which I've never head. I don't think Ollie has either. 

The man picks up a bowl with a liquid inside, I hope it's water or something like that. He gestures Ollie to drink. Then he picks up some type of herbs. Ollie takes the herbs and puts it in his mouth, he gags then drinks the water. The man comes to me and he was the bowl in one hand and the herb in the other. I look at Ollie for reassurance and he nods. I take the herb and put it in my mouth, it tastes awful. I then drink the water. Without warning the man pull out the arrow in Ollie and the dagger in me at the same time. I wince in pain and Ollie screams. 

*End of flashback*

I wake up from the computer beeping. I look at Ollie and he then looks at me, realived. We both head to the computer. We see what's on the computer. "Damn it." I say. And we head home. 

*At the house*

Ollie and I are walking towards to living room and I see cops, mom, and Thea. What the hell happened? Then I see Diggle. "What happened?" Ollie asks. "Thea ok?" I ask. Diggle nods, "Cops brought her home, she and some of her friends broke into a store and tried on some dresses last night. Lit up the breathalyzer like a Christmas tree." Diggle explains. Ollie and I sigh. She's acting like us more and more when we were her age, I'm not proud of the things I have done, neither should she.
