Quentin was at his desk when a call came it's been nine months since seven year Oliver Queen was kidnapped from the local park where he was playing with his friends, two of these friends been his daughters Laurel and Sarah along with Oliver's best friend Tommy Merlyn and other family friend. All the caller said was "You find Oliver Queen 148 winter avenue in the Glades room 206" before hanging up.
Quentin remember would never forget the day that kidnapping case fell on his lap. It start of just like any other day he was sitting at his desk finishing the paper work on his last case when the Captain tells him about a Kidnapping. When case when cold he had not been able to sleep for over week think that it could have easily been one or both of his daughters that was taken that day. There was no ransom call everyone was so sure that it was money that the kidnappers were after all why else would someone take a billionaire's son. The case went cold with little advice they had to work with was found burned in the Glades and just like that Oliver Queen disappeared without a trace. But that don't mean Quentin had given up on the cold case. He hadn't stop looking, he hadn't stop asking questions and he hadn't stop working his Police informants. He was aware of the fact the Robert Queen had hired a PI to look in to where about of his son a former Navy intelligence officer and the two of them work off hours to find the missing boy.
Quentin and PI along with backup unit want to the location the address turn out to be an old abandoned motel of 24 rooms two floors. Quentin shakes his head went he notice the location was where the ICE had been to apprehend a drug lord Mr. Timmy Waters which make the office think that they were looking for body not alive victims.
They were surprised to find the boy alive locked in side of a 3X3X2 cage made of bamboo. Oliver arms and legs were tied up with vine and his was only wearing a pink panties. There were photos of Oliver in comparison position with a different man in each photo there must have been fifty photos in the stack. The boy body showed sign of forced mating and repeat of physical and sexual tumour. Quentin could see the panties was stained in blood there were whip marks on the boys back. Officer will never forget the sight of the boy, covered in dry blood, left eye swollen closed, slip lip and burst on right cheek. Detective was sure the boy was violated against his will the way Oliver reacts they present gave them a picture of what the boy had been through the past nine months and it was not good.
The boy huddled in to corner of cage trying to make himself as small as he could putting space between himself and officers. Oliver eyes wide with fear his whole body shaking the officers went sure if it was from fear or if the boy was cold.
Quentin kneel down beside the cage softly talked the boy "Oliver, it's safe to come out" Detective stashed his arm out and adds "take my hand Oliver".
The boy shake his head violently eyes closed tie backing into the cage. Quentin could tell that the wire of the cage was starting to cut the boy already bloody back. It was navy officer who had come to help locate and rescue Oliver that come forward to try and get through to the boy. Quentin remember the female navy officer her daughter had be with Oliver when he was taken as her family was visit the Queen family for short holiday.
It had been her daughter had been solo witness in the case her memory of the event was uncanny. Quentin remember sitting in the interview room going over every moment of that fatal afternoon sitting in that room with her father, a navy SEAL turn law enforcement officer and her mother in viewing room a Navy intelligence officer.
Quentin's partner said "have you been in a room like this before?"
Lisa looked around the room the walls were white with no windows and electronic door. There was a table and chairs it look like small dining table for four with her dad and her sitting on one side and the two Detectives on the others. She turn to her father and asked "does it count?" When her father asked what counts? She told him "when mom and I got locked in the interrogation room when the bad guy broke into your headquarters last year when they shot the computer table uncle Chin baby up"
Detective ask "baby"
Her father answered "lieutenant Detective Kelly is tech guy on the team the computers are his specialty"
The two Detectives smile they both knew just attached tech personnel would get to their technology.
Her father turn to face her nodded his head replying "yes, legally yes dose"
She turn back officers sitting across from her and side "yes but there no table just a chair the most uncomfortable chair in all of Oahu especially when dad is the interrogating officer that what Detective Williams says"
The commander shake his head say "sweetheart all you have do is to tell these Detectives what you saw and heard when the bad guy took Oliver, okay"
She nodded her head. Quentin said "eyewitness interview comments at 11:15 of the victory park kidnapping of Oliver Queen" for the tape.
Detective asked "walk us through the moment you meet up with Oliver and his others friends to the moment Oliver was taken by these men."
The little girl said "Oliver invite me to the park with promise of football game. When our family had dinner the night before."
She take a breath and continued "Uncle Mike was look after me for the day while dad and mom were in meetings so he took me to the park when we got there about 10am Oliver and his friends were already there at the park"
She turn to her father and then back to the police officers before she tells them "I scanned the area just like grandpa Joe show me. There was a two door silver Porsche with driver watching Oliver friend Tommy. He said that car was his mother that his dad got for her for her birthday. He didn't like it when I told him that it was stupid gift specially when his mother don't drive"
The two Detectives try to hide their smile, Lisa continued "there was town car park next to the Porsche. There was driver in the car too but I see the driver before he was there with Queen Family in Hawaii. Oliver said the he was the only driver he trusted"
She continued "there wasn't many people at the park a mother and her son. Two babysitters with three toddlers all boys dark hair, blue or dark eyes. The only vehicle that didn't fit for that time be at the park was a Mitsubishi panel van midnight blue. I broke the passenger window, no back windows with fender bander on back passenger side pearl white paint transfer on back bumper. Number plate Alpha, Romeo 367 Queen 56. There four people, three men and one female in her twenties and two men were armed that I could see. One man sitting passenger sit with the door open he had handgun his was clogging and unclogging the gun and pointing to at the driver once in a while. That when I told Uncle Mike who said he call the police. But the he never got chances the black man with scar on his felt side of his face shot Uncle Mike in the leg, handgun military issued not US, he had accent he spoke Maori when he yelled at his friend after Uncle Mike shot him in the leg there was lots of blood. He friend was fair skinned female, she had a tattoo of a on her multi coloured butterfly on her left lower arm. Her dark hair but she was wearing blond wig she also had second tattoo on her neck of dragonfly. The man called her Clare, when he yell at her for help. The took off north towards the highway and the Glades"
The girl had given then few leads that didn't go anyways uniform police found the van in the Glades burnout with no DNA. There was body in the burnout van, with GW to the leg. The van was reported stolen the night before the kidnapping from the Queen factory in the Glades. The driver was killed. They manage to match the bullet they had pull out of SEAL to the bullet they pulled from the dead driver. Tracking a gun on the street of Starling City with that not registered is impossible not to mention that gang banger with deep pockets run the legal system behind closed doors.
That was over nine months has he watch this female navy intelligence officer keeled down beside the cage. In soft voice she told Oliver "Oliver I am Lieutenant Catherine Rollins I am with US Navy. You remember stay at our place by the beach in Hawaii last year you learned to surf" she pull out a photo and showed the boy.
Oliver grabbed the photograph from her and whispered "Lisa", running a finger over the young girl face. To Quentin it looked like the young girl and Oliver had friendship that no one seem to know about which would put damper on his older daughter plans to marry Oliver Queen one day even if they didn't this event would change young Oliver this boy wasn't the one the Queen family lost nine months ago you would have be blind not to see the change in the boy.
Catherine continued "I am here to bring you home Oliver" Oliver look up at her with hope as the lieutenant told him "your mom and dad missed you, Lisa wanted me come find you to bring you home Oliver" she stretched her hand out to him and waited for the boy to make the next move.
Oliver asked "home"
Catherine said "yes home" it take Oliver a few minutes before he stretched out a shake hands that are still tied with vine.
Catherine pulled the sacred boy out of the cage and tells him that she as to cut his hands and feet free. Pull out a knife from her right boot she cut the boy free and bagged the vine for advice. Before the EMT arrived Catherine told one of officer that there was bathrobes in her car ask if she could bring it for the boy to wear. Catherine leave with the boy to the hospital where they will do a rape kit on Oliver and Catherine bagged the blood stained pantie for advice of course she stayed with Oliver until his family arrived to be with him.
Catherine parting words to Moria was "if there anything they could please don't hesitate to contact me any time of day or night" she left Starling City known that she had fulfilled her promise to her daughter to bring Oliver Queen home.
