Chapter 1: Captured
The rain battered down on the rooftops of Star City. Oliver was soaked, his leather suit and hood only managing to keep the water out. "Felicity, I doing a final sweep of the city, but it all looks quite. Why don't you head off on that holiday with your families."
"What are you on about Oliver?" Questioned Felicity over the radio.
"I've booked a holiday for you and your mother and Diggle and his wife somewhere warm for two weeks. Enjoy!"
"Wait, Oliver we're not leaving." Diggle exclaimed.
"What if I say it's a free trip to Metropolis, the other know you're going and that you don't really have a choice. Besides you need a break and I would be glad of the alone time."
"Fine Oliver we'll go. When is the flight." Felicity asked.
"Two hours from now," Oliver replied "but don't worry your things are ready and waiting with the other two at Star airport on board a private jet."
"OK Oliver we're off, but don't do anything stupid whilst we're gone." Felicity added with joy running through her voice which brought a smile to his face.
The at last the radio dropped silent and he breathed a sigh of relief at his new found freedom. He was now alone, they were off on holiday. Thea was with her father, Malcolm, training with the League of Assassins, after Oliver had refused to train her for fear of her becoming out of control.
He had almost done his sweep when he came a cross a robbery down at the docks. He moved in for a closer look, using the grates he made his way inside, his aim was simple take down the men with as little commotion as possible. Usually he would do this by picking them off from a vantage point with his bow, but on closer inspection he realise that they were wearing protective vests that would easily stop an arrow. He would have do do this hand to hand. He leapt from the air vent landing two foot away from the men before they just simply vanished. He looked around as the exits and openings were sealed before gas began to leak into the room.
It was a trap!
Soon Oliver found himself falling into unconsciousness until eventually he was out.
