Oliver didn't realize what had happened until he hit the floor. Diggle immediately knelt down beside him. "Are you okay, man?" Diggle asked.

Oliver pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't know. I mean, because of me, Felicity's going to go through horrible, painful things. I hate sitting here doing nothing."

"Look, I'm not going to promise you that we'll find her or she's going to be okay, because I can't. But what I can promise is that we'll do everything we can to find her. We'll fight until the end."

Diggle found it strange that Oliver was acting this way. He normally never showed any emotion, but he was almost having a breakdown. He's known for a while that Oliver liked Felicity, but Oliver seems to like her a lot more than he thought. Diggle offered Oliver a hand, which Oliver gladly accepted.

"Wait. On the call, he said I killed his brother. So we'll check the list of 28 names for anyone who has a brother. Then, we'll see how many of that remaining list has been recently fired from their job at their family company." Oliver felt the first spark of hope since all of this started. He finally got some useful information that could actually help them.

"See? I knew we'd find something. Let's get searching." Diggle said.

The boys went back to their computers, looking through the names one at a time. Finally they had a lead.

Felicity's sobs had turned into silent tears, rushing down her face. The pain had seized a little, but her stomach and shoulder still stung like crazy. She came to the conclusion that she has a concussion, seeing that her headache hasn't improved at all since she woke up. She felt dirty and disgusting. The blood made her skin feel sticky and itchy, and it was agonizing not being able to do anything about it.

She was tired of being a victim. She couldn't let Oliver get anywhere near these guys. She also needed to escape, so she knew she would have to do it on her own. She started formulating a plan. She knew she had to cooperate so she wouldn't get hurt too badly again. If only she could get something to cut the ropes…

She heard the click of a lock. She put on the best brave face she could and braced herself for whatever was in store. The light flicked on and she flinched again from the sudden brightness. They have got to stop doing that! She looked up to see one of the followers. He was the one with brown hair and eyes, and he was completely alone. He didn't close the door all the way, he left just enough open so he could get out.

"I brought you some water." He said. She noticed the water bottle he was carrying.

"You really think I'm going to drink that?" She asked, her voice sounding hoarse. "For all I know, there's some sort of weird poison in that stuff." She had to admit, her throat was extremely dry and achy, but she wasn't going to accept any food or drinks from them.

"You sure sound like you need it." He twisted the cap off and stepped toward her. He held it out to her, but she shook her head. The man sighed, "Look, I didn't know he was going to do that to you. The deal was that we use you to get the hood, kill him, and we would all be on our merry way. He changed his mind though, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I didn't even want to be involved in this in the first place."

She watched him intently, trying to tell if he was lying. He seemed to be telling the truth, but she knew that guys like this can be such convincing liars.

"I hate being involved in this. I hate keeping secrets! I'm just in too deep now. If I try and leave, he'll kill me without question. He went crazy after the hood killed his brother. Somehow I got roped up in all of this and I can't get out."

She paused for a moment before asking, "You still offering that water?"

"Yeah." He brought the water bottle to her lips, trying his best not to spill all over her. He knew he was taking a risk by doing this, but he feel like he needed to do something after what he heard earlier.

She didn't realize how thirsty she actually was until she started drinking. Before she knew it, the bottle was empty. He brought the bottle away from her lips. "Thank you." She said.

"It's the least I could do." It was silent for a moment. "Do your cuts hurt?" He asked hesitantly. She nodded. "I can get some pain medication for you the next time I come in."

"That would be amazing." She said. "Is there any way you could get me out of here?"

He thought about it for a moment. "I don't know. I'll try, but it might take some time. I'll try and stall him as much as possible."

"Thank you." She really was grateful for this.

He gave her a nod. "I should get out of here. They'll probably be back soon and I don't want to get caught." He stood and walked to the door.

He opened the door and started to walk out. "Hey!" She said. He turned back around to her. "What's your name?"

He gave her a small smile. "I'm Chris."

With that, the light turned off and the door slammed shut.

Oliver and Diggle had gone straight to work. They were searching through the 28 names on the list. They had searched through 21 already, and it had only been an hour since the phone call. They wanted to be thorough, but they also wanted to be quick.

After a while longer of searching and writing, they finally completed all 28 names.

"Okay." Diggle said. "Out of the 28 names, 16 of them had brothers."

"Out of those 16, 5 had a family business." Oliver said.

"Only one of those 5 has been recently fired. His name's Nick. Nick Shepard." Diggle said.

Oliver felt a wave of relief. "We have our guy." They were halfway there. "The only question is… where are they keeping her?"

Just like that, another search had begun.

Sorry for the short chapter guys! I just thought it would be best to end it there. I know there wasn't a lot of action in this chapter, but I thought I would give poor Felicity a break. Don't worry, I have a lot of things planned. Don't forget to review and give me some suggestions! :)
