The Getaway – Chapter 2
After today's series of meetings Oliver couldn't wait to get back to his main office a QC. Today's meetings had been all across time and Oliver felt anxious at not having Felicity by his side. Over the past few months the young blonde had become a valuable member of the team and Oliver's ray of sunshine in a dark starling city skyline. And he had been seriously deprived of babbling today and felt the need to see felicity even if something was wrong. Since a few weeks ago there was a distance between the pair that Oliver just couldn't put his finger on and it needed to be sorted. He would do it today; he would confront Felicity about what was wrong.
In the car on the way back to QC Oliver turned his phone back on and was greeted by a text from Thea.
The text message read:
Hey Ollie I'm kidnapping your lovely assistant for a few days. We're both in need of a break. Don't worry, I will keep in touch and make sure Liss does too. Don't worry about getting someone to fill in for Liss I'm sure Digg will do a good job. Hahaha I'm only joking Melody my friend from college is gonna come to QC to fill in for Liss while were gone. All my love, Speedy xxx :)
Oliver was extremely shocked to find this message and was even a little concerned. Where were they going? Who was going with them? How long would they be gone for?
Oliver got into the Elevator at QC and pressed the button for the top floor. The ride was taking longer than usual today, he didn't even know if the girls had already left. If they hadn't he would definitely speak to felicity.
When he arrived at Felicity's empty desk he looked at her computer screen which he had never seen switched off and saw a yellow sticky note on the corner. It was a message from felicity.
The note read:
Oliver, don't worry about where I am I am with Thea and will be back soon. I just needed a break.
Your girl Wednesday Felicity x :)
This comforted Oliver that both his girls were okay, at the same time the "I just needed a break" nagged at his mind. Why did she need a break? They had been working long hours but no longer than they ever had before her work load at work hadn't increased and as far as he could tell there was nothing that he had said that could have upset felicity. So what was wrong? He was determined to find out.
He would ring Felicity in the morning and find out what was wrong. He couldn't let this affect their relationship she was one of the only people that he could talk to.
