After Oliver and Laurel finished making love, Laurel whispered to Oliver. "Adrian may be ten steps ahead of you Ollie, but you have something he doesn't have in his life. You have a team. You have love".
"What about Doris?" Oliver whispered back to her.
"Doris doesn't really know her husband. She doesn't know that he is a psycho!" Laurel revealed. Laurel's face lit up. "That is your leverage, Ollie"
"What do you mean?" Oliver asked, excited at her excitement.
"Tonight, I'm gonna lead the team to Chase's base but we're are going to use your strength and his weakness against him. We're going to bring Doris with us". Oliver smiled.
Laurel knocked on the Chase's front door late that night and Doris answered. "Hi, do I know you?" she asked.
Laurel smiled politely. "No, you don't. Your husband- he knows me. I wish I didn't have to tell you this but—uh- this so hard, believe me, but- I'm the-the other woman"
Doris gave Laurel the up and the down. Laurel threw her hands up. "Believe me, I didn't know. I thought you- the wife, deserved to know".
Doris frowned and tilted her head so it hung slightly. "You know, I don't even know where Adrian is right now, this explains why".
Laurel faked a shocked look. "You think there are even more women in his life?"
Doris smiled sadly. 'I fear that it must be true".
Green Arrow, Spartan, and Speedy arrived at the old building that Laurel said Prometheus operated out of. They went in and it looked like Chase ready for them. Laurel walked up to them with Doris."She came" Green Arrow whispered in acknowledgment.
'I- I don't understand Dinah. You think my husband is here?" Doris said, getting upset.
"Shh" Laurel begged "You need to trust me. Your husband is not actually cheating on you- I mean, as far as I know. My name is The Raven, this is The Green Arrow, Spartan, and Speedy. We know something that you also need to know".
Speedy smiled sympathetically. "Come with us". The team took the elevator straight up to where Prometheus was. Doris and Laurel used the shadows as cover while Oliver, John, and Thea went to confront Chase.
Chase giggled like he was high. "Oliver, you're never gonna get it. I've won this already. You're a hazard to anyone and everyone, including yourself. Give up the fight. Fighting will not do anything for you. Nobody loves you, Oliver, because how could they. The people you love always... die!"
"But somebody loves you" a familiar voice to Adrian said and Doris stepped out of the darkness. "I'm sorry, loved you. How could you, Adrian?" Doris said with tears beginning to come down her cheeks.
"Doris!" Adrian exclaimed. "Honey". He put his hands on her cheeks. "I love you so much. I am sorry" He pulled her into a passionate hug. All of a sudden, Adrian pulled a knife and stabbed his own wife in the stomach. She went into shock. "A-dr- Adrian" was her very last word. Laurel's mouth fell open in the shadows. She felt bad now. She had never intended to get Doris killed. She never saw this coming. John and Thea rushed Doris toward the elevator. Oliver engaged in combat with Chase and Laurel thought she should help but she was too shaken with guilt. "Stupid Oliver- making me so soft that I'm literally disgusting," she thought. By the time Laurel refocused herself, Oliver and Chase were gone.
Laurel rushed outside "John" she called out. John was waiting for an ambulance with Doris. John looked up. "Ollie, I don't know what happened but he is gone and its all my fault. I have to save him".
"What do you mean Oliver's gone, Laurel? We didn't see him leave the building so he is obviously still in there..." John said level-headedly.
"No, that is too obvious for Chase. Forget Doris" Laurel all of a sudden yelled. "We need to get back to Felicity so she can run every computer analysis it takes to get my Ollie back. And fast" Laurel broke into a sprint toward home base, assuming that John and Thea were close behind her.
Adrian pulled Oliver's head out of a bucket of water. "145 seconds" Adrian boomed. "Your arrow didn't kill my father. It took 145 seconds for the water from the pool he fell into to fill his lungs and drown him". Adrian chuckled "Oliver, are ready to confess your secret?"
"Adrian, I-I- I don't know what you want me to say. I don't know what you are talking about" Oliver stuttered. Oliver's head was dunked into the water again and he let out a scream.
Adrian pulled him back out of the water. "Oliver, Why did you kill so many people? They all had lives and families. Like my father who had me, a son".
Oliver stuck to his air-tight word. "All of my kills deserved to die for their wrong-doings and corruption".
Adrian laughed and then his face fell serious. "What about this man?" Adrian revealed the mugshot of Count Vertigo. "He did not have to die, Oliver. You took his life to save Felicity. Are you now ready to confess?"
Oliver's face was blank. "I don't know what you mean when you ask me to confess," Oliver said slowly, gritting his teeth.
Adrian sighed, disappointed in Oliver. He picked up a bow and shot three arrows shallow into Oliver's chest.
"I can only imagine what Chase is doing to him"Laurel rambled to Felicity. "Felicity, anything? It's been 24 hours, Ollie could be dead".
Felicity pushed her glasses further up the bridge of her nose. "I wouldn't let that happen, Laurel" Felicity snapped back. "But everything I am doing is turning up blank".
Laurel groaned at the computer genius "C'mon Felicity, we need to save him".
"I am trying as hard as I can. You didn't see Chase or Oliver leave? Are you sure?" Felicity pressed for answers.
"Yes" Laurel answered and then she thought of something. "Wait, I think Talia Al Ghul was there. She must have gotten Chase and Ollie out without being noticed".
John looked up. "Do you know where Talia is staying?" he asked Laurel.
Laurel shrugged. She had a bad feeling. "Okay", she finally said, walking toward the back of the Arrow-cave and sifting through a pile of old costumes. She dusted off the Black Siren costume. "I am going to find Oliver" she announced as she began changing right in front of the team. "Everyone else should go home and get some sleep".
Adrian told Oliver he was getting bored and anxious. He scoffed "Maybe I can motivate you, you confess and I won't kill Felicity or John, maybe I'll even leave William out of this".
Tears pooled up in Oliver's eyes and he considered letting them fall. He was silent. "Okay", Adrian finally said "I'll take my leave for a bit, maybe go find somebody you care about to kill. You stay here and think about what you have done and the man that you are".
Adrian got a phone call from Laurel and he answered. "I'm sorry about your wife," Laurel said immediately.
"Thank you", Adrian responded, "but that isn't why you are calling".
"You're the one who hasn't reached out. The mayor's office has put out an alert of Oliver Queen's kidnapping. I am assuming you have him. Where did you take him?"
Chase smiled. "When Oliver realizes where he is, it will make him fall apart".
"C'mon Adrian" Laurel pressed on. "You can tell me where Oliver is"
Chase rolled his eyes and sighed into the phone. "I can, Laurel. But I won't. I gave you your freedom, but this-this is between me and Oliver"
Laurel rolled her eyes. "I have an idea," she told Chase. "Is Evelyn Sharp still working with you?"
Adrian walked back into the dirty basement where Oliver was shackled. He had Evelyn Sharp with him. He smiled at Oliver. "Oliver, you have met Evelyn. You and Evelyn are going to fight. Whichever one of you kills the other is free to go. Oliver, if you refuse, I will just kill Evelyn myself". With that, Adrian exited.
"Oliver, I am sorry I betrayed you. I shouldn't have left Team Arrow and sided with Prometheus. He is awful" Evelyn admitted.
"I will get us both out of here" Oliver consoled her. "Pass me that knife". Evelyn obeyed. Oliver sawed on the shackles imprisoning him, but he struggled and failed. Adrian crept up behind Evelyn. "No!" Oliver screamed. Adrian grabbed onto Evelyn and snapped her neck.
