Starling City Adventures episode 2b 'Now I just need to get out of this alive!'
"What toys are you talking about?" Thea wanted to know.
"Laurel has some tracking chips concealed on her person for just such an eventuality." Oliver explained.
"So why haven't you gone after them already?" Roy asked.
"Well first I don't usually go out in costume in daylight." Oliver replied.
"And she is constantly on the move." Diggle checked a device and added, "That complicates matters."
"They will have to stop to set up their little trap and that is when we move in." Oliver said.
"Does that mean I get to help this time?" Roy said eagerly.
"Yes providing that you follow orders, your archery is improving but you have a long way to go." Oliver said to his protégé with a slight smile.
"Can I go too? I have been practicing with a hand crossbow, designed a costume and even have my own vigilante name picked out, Arrowette!" Thea gushed then asked.
Oliver paled and said, "Sorry Thea but that isn't going to happen!"
Thea scowled but had expected the answer and asked, "What if they find the tracking chip on Laurel? And where is it anyway?"
"They won't and there is more than one chip." Her brother replied and after a couple minutes of wheedling by Thea admitted "She has one in her left shoe."
"So what if they find that?" Diggle asked.
"Then there is another in her right shoe." Oliver replied.
"And if they find that?" Thea demanded.
"There will still be the one in her watch," He said.
"If what if they take her watch?" Roy asked.
"Then there is the one in her locket beneath our picture." Oliver responded.
"And if they find that?" Diggle asked.
"I cannot be a gentleman and tell you where the next chip is." Oliver replied.
"And what if they strip her naked?" Thea asked and added, "Some villains are perverts and sex fiends!"
Oliver got a grim look on his face and said, "I would still find her and would make sure to kill them all!"
'Where the hell could that last chip be?' Thea wondered but decided not to push any further and thought, 'I'll have to try and get it out of Laurel later.'
So while they waited for the signal to stop moving Oliver suited up as Green Arrow while Roy put on a similar outfit in red and had decided to call himself Red Arrow whenever Oliver let him go into action. They passed the time with some archery practice and Roy managed to hit half of the rapid fire tennis balls tossed into the air.
Sometime later the truck carrying the hostage heroines stopped and they were hauled out. It had just gotten dark a half hour ago and Laurel could see numerous dark forms in the area and something else. They were outside the city and there was something on the ground just too far away to see.
"Now miss Lance we are going to arrange your death here and film it for my client. As you no doubt can tell we are setting up a nice ambush for Green Arrow with many men, automatic rifles and light machine guns." China White said with a smirk.
'Damn, I hope Oliver can handle all these creeps!' Laurel worriedly thought.
'Machine guns, isn't that cheating or something?' Felicity wondered.
'Wow Tagb has hired a real dangerous woman this time!' Kate thought.
"Now I believe your first encounter with the vigilante came when he asked you to defend and innocent man framed for murder?" The villainess said and looked down as Laurel mockingly.
'The hostage heroine nodded and thought, 'What does that have to do with anything?'
"I seem to remember he got information out of a criminal by the use of a pair of handcuffs and that!" With that said she switched on a flashlight and illuminated a section of railroad track!
Laurel groaned and thought, 'It is bad enough being bait but now I am going to be tied to the freaking railroad tracks!' Angrily she tried to talk through her gag and said, "Wmmm M mmt lmmmsm M mm gmmmg tm cmmmme mo Mmamk Mamrm mnm bmmm momm bmmimm omm!"
China White laughed and Felicity wondered, 'What did Laurel say?'
However with her vast experience at being bound and gagged with other women Kate interpreted the gag talk as, "When I get loose I am going to change to Black Canary and beat your brains out!" She smiled in spite of her gag and thought, 'I was right and am not crazy! Now I just need to get out of this alive!'
