Quentin lances story chapter 3

I walked out of the toilet and headed to the police car that I was taking out today. I would have to dwell on Laurel and her problems later. I don't think I can convince her to go to the self-help group that I go to but it might be worth a try. Wouldn't it? I love her and I can't lose another daughter. I was nearly at the Queen offices when there was a broadcast over the radio for me.

Laurel, she was in trouble. She was in hospital! They think that she took something. I thought she was going to stop when she got arrested, obviously I was wrong. She lost her job over it and can't get another one. Why is she being so stupid?

I made a quick call to my ex-wife to tell her then I called Oliver. He deserves to know. Oliver has always been there for her. Should I let Sara know? How was I going to get hold of Sara? The Arrow, he would know. Wouldn't he? He might know but I think I should wait to find out what's going on before trying to get a hold of Sara.

I got to the hospital and Laurel was a wake but looking very tired. I told her that everything was going to be ok, Starling had a great rehab program. Of course Laurel was insistent that she had not taken anything. I just told her to wait until the blood results came back.

My ex-wife turned up and shortly after Oliver came in with his security man. He hugged my wife and emidietly started to ask questions about what was going on. We told him as much as we knew and he left to take a call. My ex-wife ducked out to get a drink which left me and Laurel on our own. Laurel grabbed my arm and told me,

"Dad before I passed out and I know I must have been halogenating but I'm sure I saw Sara." I walked out and called the Arrow that instant. I knew Sara was back and how I was going to get a hold of her. Of course the Arrow tried to cover but I kept insisting that I needed to talk to my daughter and I knew she was with him. In the end he let me talk to her.

She agreed to stay in town until she knew what was going on, but then she was leaving again because it was safer for all of us if she was not around. I let it be. And yet again I was made to promise not to tell anyone that she was still alive. She is so annoying sometimes! I hadn't long hung up the phone and gone back to Laurel when the doctor came back in with the test results.

Laurel had snake venom in her system. Snake venom? How had she got snake venom in her system? She has never been anywhere near a snake. Laurel had no Idea how she had got snake venom in her system when we questioned her. I made a list of all the places she had been in the last few days. Then I went to make a phone call.

"They say snake venom"

"I'll deal with it. Shall I tell Sara what is going on?"

"No I'll tell her get her to meet me in the bar."

"I will" The arrow hung up at that point.
