Oliver looked at his phone. His heart fell to his stomach as he saw the text of 911 from his sister. She and Felicity were shopping today. He turned on Felicity's tracker so he could find his wife. She told him about the tracker in her industrial piercing in case something ever happened to her. He thought the idea was brilliant and wanted to put a tracker in Thea's belly button ring since their mother allowed her to get the pierced. The tracker put Felicity in front of a boutique downtown. He immediately hopped on his Ducati and rushed off to his wife. He didn't know if she was hurt or scared but Oliver had a feeling in his gut all day that he should have went with them.

When he saw Felicity unharmed and holding his sister who was equally unharmed, he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. Thea turned her head towards him and let go of Felicity to hug him.

"Ollie, I was so scared. Felicity jumped and pushed me down to the ground and got a gun out of her purse protecting me. They shot Paul," she said in a flurry mixed with sobs.

"Shh shh, it's alright. It's alright, Speedy," he rubbed her back while watching Felicity who was watching them.

When he let go of Thea, he rushed to Felicity and kissed her solidly on the lips. He felt her melt against him as he held her face in his hands and when they parted, Oliver rested his forehead, touching hers.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I am now," she replied, "So...you kissed me," Felicity said, trying to cut the tension which caused him to chuckle.

"Only you," he replied with a smile, "What happened?" he asked.

Diggle waited for him to look in his direction, "A shooter on a bike came by. Got Paul in the shoulder, almost nicked an artery. The ambulance already came and got him. Lance just left. We've been waiting on you to take the girls home."


Oliver put the girls in the car and Diggle drove them back to the mansion. Thea immediately went to her room upset and didn't want to eat dinner.

"Is shopping with her always like that?" Felicity asked Oliver who stood by her door as she placed her bags on her bed.

"Normally, there is less bloodshed…Felicity, are you alright?" he said as he walked behind her.

She leaned into his touch, "I grew up in the Bratva so I've had some training in self-defense and weaponry. But my biggest weapon has always been my brain so I never thought I would ever use my gun or even bring it out beyond cleaning it. But today when I saw the shooter, I immediately grabbed it to protect Thea. I would have shot the person if they kept shooting. I wouldn't have even flinched."

"Thank you for protecting her," Oliver wrapped his arms around her, "I was so scared when I got her text. I don't think I took a breath until I saw you were okay."

"I caught the license plate off the bike when they drove away. Their helmet blocked everything else and there was nothing significant on their clothing to let me know who they were but I know it was the Triad."

"But now we need to know if they did it because they are after you because of me or because of Cooper."

"I don't think they were after me. They hit Paul who was in front of Thea. I think they were going after her."

"Do you think they were targeting her because of me? Using my family as a weakness?" Oliver asked.

"Honestly? Yes, it makes sense. Our relationship is unknown but they know you have a sister. She's been on the cover of tabloids so she is recognizable."

"You will be recognizable soon enough if my mother has her way. I never thought I would see her like someone so quickly," he said.

"Wait...your mother likes me? How can you tell?" she joked.

"Well...one, she asks you about your day. Two, she seems to actually trust you which is rare in our world both in business and as Bratva. Three, I think she is proud of you. Yes, you married me but you have your job and education because of you and not because of the money or reputation that comes with being or knowing a Queen. Felicity, you are remarkable."

Felicity swooned, "Thank you for remarking on it."

"Now...I do believe you said you would ask for a foot massage," Oliver said flirtaciously.

"Did you warm up your fingers?" she responded.


After Oliver left Felicity's room, Diggle met him downstairs.

"We added two men extra men to watch the house and I set up a new guard for Thea while Paul is out," Diggle spoke.

"Thank you. So, you want to tell me what happened today?"

"We were outside the boutique when the shooter on the motorcycle came by and aimed his gun. Paul caught it and moved so he was in front of Thea. He got shot in the shoulder and Felicity dropped Thea to the ground."

"Felicity got the plate number."

"Good, we can trace it. I heard a rumor about a mole at QC, is there any truth to that?" Diggle asked.

"Felicity found a backdoor that led to a tech in IT. Basically, it allowed him to go through all the files that were connected to the system. My father connected to the system the day after he set up the entry from his home office. The Triad were able to get him through that and block Bratva business before Felicity changed it."

"What are you going to do with the mole?"

"Alexei picked him up this evening. I was just going to meet him. I'm leaving"


Oliver could smell the sweat and blood as he entered the room. He could hear his men speak.

"What till the Captain comes," Alexei said.

"Please, I didn't do anything. Let me go," Cayden James hollered.

"Now why would I do that?" Oliver spoke, purposely speaking Russian to sound more threatening as he took the bag off of the man's head.

"Mr. Queen. Oh my god, please help me. I don't know what I did but I'll do anything. Do you need a hacker? I'm the best there is," Cayden begged and boasted.

"Not good enough as the backdoor to the Queen Consolidated system that lead to the Triad being able to interfere with Bratva business and kill my father was discovered just a few days ago by someone who is in fact the best," replied Oliver smugly.

"It's not possible."

"Felicity Smoak."

Cayden's eyes grew wide recognizing the name as a new employee at Queen Consolidated.

"The new girl. Please, no way some bubble headed blonde is better than me."

"That blonde is my wife and graduated with two masters degrees at 21. She had more companies after her than you ever did. She looked into you. We know you have debts that I'm assuming you lent your hacking services to the Triad to pay. It might have worked if you hadn't gotten my father killed in the process."

Oliver took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves before he took a heavy swing at Cayden's face which flew back on impact.

"So you not only insulted my wife in front of my men but you are responsible for my father's death," Oliver continued speaking after hitting him on the other side.

"Please, I'll tell you anything you want to know," he begged after being beaten more.

"Oh, you'll talk," Oliver replied.
