Felicity and Cisco had been working for the last three hours and she was getting frustrated. Every time she thought they were close to figuring out who was sending Oliver the threats, they would hit a dead end. Cisco pushed back from his desk in frustration.
"This joker has us blocked at every turn. It's like he knew exactly what we would search to try to find him. Like he is playing cat and mouse." He rubbed his hands over his face as he heard Felicity furiously clicking away on her keyboard.
"Well I am combing through the last results of the algorithm now and I am hoping......." Cisco turned to look at her as he heard her go quiet.
"Oh my god, I think I did it!" Cisco heard the disbelief in her voice as he rolled his chair over to her side.
"What is it?"
"I think I just figured out who the person is that is sending the threats." Cisco glanced over her shoulder trying to see and then his eyes flew wide.
"We need to call Slade and Oliver right now." Cisco quickly picked up the phone and called Slade asking him to grab Oliver on his way and for them to come to the computer room.
"Are you sure this is right Felicity?"
"I am never wrong." She said the words matter of factly and with a frustrated sigh.
They heard the door open and Slade and Oliver walked in both with a frown on their faces. "Cisco, what is going on?"
Felicity and Cisco stood both taking a deep breath as Slade and Oliver looked at them in confusion.
"We know who has been sending the threats to Prince Oliver." Cisco spoke directly to Slade and then looked at Oliver.
"It's Max Fuller." Felicity said the words as she looked at Oliver and it took him a moment for the name to register.
"Max Fuller? Are you sure?" Felicity nodded as she turned to the computer and showed him the name and picture that were up on her screen.
"Do you know this person?" Slade looked at Oliver confused. He had never seen the guy before.
Oliver nodded, "Yes, he is my cousin. His mother married my father's brother when we were young. I didn't really see him very much because they lived in Sussex. My Father and my Uncle had a falling out and so Uncle James quit coming to visit. I never saw or spoke to Max after that."
"Do you know what the fall out was about?" Slade asked the question hoping if they knew what the fallout was about maybe it would lead them to the reason for the threats.
"No, my father never told me and I never asked."
Slade looked at Cisco and Felicity, "Now that we know who the person is can you guys track him?"
"On it!" Cisco sat down and his fingers started to fly across the keyboard as he started to set up the trace algorithm. "Once this starts searching we should know something by morning." He stood and lifted his hands in the air with a big grin.
Felicity shook her head and looked at Oliver. "Helena should be here soon, I want to go make sure her room is ready."
Oliver walked over to Slade and Cisco. "This is the first big lead we have had in awhile. Stay on this."
They both nodded as Oliver led Felicity out of the room and down the hall. They met with the head of housekeeping and she assured Felicity that the room in Oliver's wing, just down the hall from his suite, was ready for Helena's arrival.
Felicity thanked her and then took Oliver's hand as they walked back toward the computer room. Oliver stopped and pulled her close as he smiled down at her.
