The Hood becomes real!

I own nothing.

"So, you're telling me that you were saved from your attackers when a man in green leather swung in and took them out?"

"Yes sir."

Detective Lance leaned back in his chair, an eyebrow creeping slowly up his forehead. He didn't look impressed.

He sat across from the Oliver and Tommy in the Queens' sitting room. Walter and Moira sat next to the pair and Lance's partner paced by the window, flipping through an open file.

Oliver fought the urge to swallow, suddenly aware of his dry mouth. He wasn't a good liar, never had been, but he got away with lying plenty of times before. He nodded seriously at the detective.

Lance still didn't like him all that much after 'abandoning' Laurel for five years.

Detective Lance glanced over at Tommy, "And you saw this?"

Tommy looked up from his clasped hands and glanced cautiously between Oliver and the detective. Then he slowly nodded, "I was kind of out of it. All I saw was movement."

Lance nodded at his partner and turned his gaze to Oliver. After a moment of silence, Moira spoke up, "Do you have any clue who kidnapped them?"

Lance kept a blank expression as he responded to the the matriarch, "Nope. Scrubbed identities, all custom clothing. There's nothing we could do to ID them."

Flipping his notepad closed, Lance stood, "This was no doubt a crime of opportunity. What better way to score some cash than by kidnapping a recently returned billionaire?"

Lance and Hilton fled the room in silence. Tommy immediately stood, "I should probably go. This has been enough excitement, even for me."

Tommy's joke fell flat.

Noting the awkward tension, Oliver stood and offered to walk Tommy to the door.

Moira tightened her grip on Walter's arm as the boys left. If her approach didn't work, Malcolm would take matters into his own hands. Sliding her hand out of Walter's, Moira stood and silently walked to her office. She knew exactly who to call.

I am so, so sorry for updating so late. I had major writer's block, summer camp and visiting relatives.

Thanks for reading!
