Human Shield

Untitled Part 11

Star City Police Department

John waited as their suspect was checked for a concussion at Star City General Hospital. Once he was released John escorted him to the SCPD and stayed while he was booked. He wanted to get the guy in a room and interrogate him tonight. He called Lyla letting her know he would be late getting home. As the guy was settled in the interrogation room, one of his officers brought John some information on the guy. His name was Luic Guillermo, and he was a knife for hire. Loyal to no-one he traveled where the money led him, and tonight it had led him to Felicity's door.

John sat across from the man and eyed him closely. Felicity had clocked him good, and John hid a smirk as he imagined the petite woman getting the jump on him. John pulled a picture of Caden James from his folder and placed it in front of Luic. The guy glanced but didn't say a word.

"Do you know this guy Luic?", John asked.

"Nah man.", Luic said as he leaned back in his chair trying to seem calm.

"Look again man.", John said firmer.

Luic didn't even glance at the photo. "I said I don't know him.", he said firmly.

"Ok. Why did you attacked Miss Smoak today?", John asked.

Luic shrugged. "I was just looking for some cash dude, and she happened to be in my way."

John laughed a cold laugh."Really? Now why would someone who had just deposited $10,000 in their bank account be looking for money at a penthouse apartment?"

Luic fidgeted. John could tell he was getting nervous.

"Now, I am going to ask you again. Why did you attack Felicity Smoak today?", John asked harder.

"Because I was paid to man.", Luic said.

"By whom?"

Luic looked at John but kept his mouth shut.

John leaned closer, getting in his face. "By whom?"

"I can't tell you man, he'll kill me!", Luic said. John could see the real fear in his eyes.

"We can protect you Luic, but I need to know who hired you.", John said insistently.

Luic shook his head. He wasn't talking. Frustrated John tried for another hour before calling to have him taken to his cell. He would have to try again tomorrow.

Heading home John thought back over the attacks. The first had been a shooting at her place of work. Then someone ransacked her office. And then someone hired Luic to try to kill her again. What if Caden James was not the mastermind behind the attacks? What if he was working for someone like Luic? John pondered this all as he drove home. He hoped tomorrow was a better day.

The Next Morning

Felicity woke before Oliver the next morning. It had been an emotional evening, and she was still reeling that someone had come into her home. Stroking the arm that was banded across her stomach, Felicity looked at Oliver. He looked so young as he slept. So relaxed. Turning on her side toward him, she caressed his jaw. Things had gotten so complicated between them, but it felt so good. Being with Oliver made sense. It was like they were supposed to be together. But she would not tell him that. Felicity felt Oliver stir as she snuggled closer to him. She could feel him growing hard against her thigh and as she looked over she saw his intense blue eyes looking right at her.

"Good Morning!", he whispered.

"Good Morning.", she said with a soft smile.

Oliver leaned closer, kissing her softly, as his hand ran along her side. Their kiss deepened as he moved over her, settling between her thighs. Felicity could feel him, hard and hot, and her body responded, growing wet and needy. Why could she not get enough of him? Oliver took her hand and moved them to the side of her head, holding them there, as he shifted his hips. She moaned, wiggling her hips beneath him, as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Oliver kissed her deeply and hungrily, as their hands entwined and he slid inside her. He wasted no time as he started to move. She felt so good, so tight, so wet, and he thrust into her over and over as they both chased their release. Felicity squeezed his cock with her muscles, and Oliver responded with a hard thrust, causing her to gasp in pleasure. And before she knew it she was coming hard, his thrusts continuing as he reached his own release, spilling into her with a deep shudder. Oliver kissed her softly before moving off of her and he smiled a soft smile.

"We need to get up Miss Smoak.", he teased.

"What if I want to stay here all day with you?", she grinned running her fingers through his scruff.

"As much as I would love that I have to go to the police station.", he said and looked at her concerned.

"You don't have to go you know? I can call Tommy to come stay with you.", he offered.

Felicity shook her head. "I want to go. I want to know why this guy tried to kill me." she said.

Nodding they both got up, and Oliver gave her another kiss before heading down the hall to shower. They knew if they showered together they would never get out of the house. Felicity showered and dressed before heading to the kitchen. She needed a cup of coffee before they left, and turning on the coffee maker she checked her phone for messages. She had a text from Lyla, and she opened her phone. Lyla wanted to have her and Oliver over for dinner tonight. Felicity smiled and texted that they would be there.

Felicity was sipping on a cup of coffee when Oliver entered the room, and he smiled as she handed him a cup. They had slipped into a routine over the last few days and one had been coffee. Normally he had some waiting for her, but this morning she made some for him. He thanked her with a kiss. Oliver had received a message from John so gathering their things, they left and headed to the SCPD. Oliver was itching to get a few moments alone with this guy. He would make him talk.

Entering the department they headed to John's office. Oliver knew most of the officer's and gave them a grave nod as he passed. Oliver asked John to stay with Felicity before he headed to the interrogation room. John had the man waiting for him, and had placed him in a room where the camera was curiously "broken". Oliver walked in, his eyes cold and his jaw set. The man looked up from the table, and a fissure of fear settled in his stomach when he saw Oliver. Walking calmly over to the table, Oliver took a seat across from Loic and smiled a cold, calculating smile.

"Let me first start by saying that the camera for this room is not working. So, it is just you and me.", Oliver told him. His tone was ice cold and hard.

He got up and walked around the table. He could tell Luic was panicking as Oliver placed a hand on his shoulder. "I have a question that you will answer, or you will end up in a terrible accident once you are in jail.", Oliver stated, squeezing his shoulder, hard.

Oliver leaned down and placed his mouth close to the guys ear, "Who hired you to kill Miss Smoak?" Luic panicked. Oliver squeezed his shoulder tighter, hitting a nerve he knew would cause excruciating pain. Luic cried out. "I will ask you one more time, and only one more time. Who hired you to kill Miss Smoak?"

"I can't tell you man. He'll kill me!!", Luic cried, clearly frightened.

Oliver didn't even flinch. "If you don't tell me what I want to know, then I will kill you." Luic looked in his eyes and knew at that moment he was deadly serious.

"Noah Cuttler! He hired Caden James and I to take out Miss Smoak.", Luic said, his voice shaking.

"Why?" Oliver growled.

"I don't know man, he didn't tell us. He just said he wanted her gone."

Oliver looked at him and seeing he was telling the truth, walked out of the room, and to John's office.

John and Felicity looked up and Felicity stood from her chair. "Well?", she asked.

"I was able to find out who hired him and Caden James. A man by the name of Noah Cuttler.", Oliver said, and Felicity paled as she sank back down into her chair.

Oliver moved to her concerned, kneeling in front of her. "Felicity? Do you know this person?", Felicity nodded.

"Who is he?"

Johns sighed heavily and sank into his chair. Oliver looked at him. John ran a hand over his face.

"He's her father!"
