Chapter 5: Family
Cam'Ron was currently laid up in his bed with Thea on top of him. It was morning and Thea had slept in his bed with him last night. He was about to get up before Oliver burst into the room causing him to quickly sit back down waking Thea. He held her down so that she wouldn't be discovered.
" What you need Oliver." Cam'Ron asked
" I just wanted to ask if you'd seen Thea." Oliver said
" Nah she's gotta be somewhere though." he said
" Ight be ready by 11:00 ight we got shit to do today." Oliver said before walking out. Once the door was closed Cam'Ron released Thea so that she could get out from under the covers.
" That sure was close huh." Thea said with a smile on her face
" You find this amusing don't you." he said
" I don't know everything just seems more satisfying with the fear of getting caught." she said
" Well you need to go to your room to get ready for whatever you have to do today." Cam said before pushing Thea out of his room. Once she was out he began to get ready for whatever Oliver had planned for him. Once he was ready Cam'Ron saw Oliver and Thea outside looking at the gravestones with him, Oliver, and Robert's names on them. Once Thea finally left he walked up to Oliver and asked him if he was ready to go and as soon as they said that they were gone. However the entire drive was silent with Oliver never actually telling Cam where they were going.
There car finally stopped outside of building that Cam was all too familiar with. They were at Laurel's apartment.
" What are we doing here Ollie. You told her to stay away you kinda contradicting yourself?" Cam asked
" That was a mistake that I must now correct. So follow my lead." Oliver said
" I hope you know what your doing." Cam said following Oliver into the building. They knock on the door and wait for it to be opened by an angry looking laurel.
" Oliver how am I supposed to stay away from you if you don't stay away from me?" she asked angrily
" Are you okay there are 2 cop cars outside?" Oliver asked
" What are you guys doing here?" laurel asked ignoring his question
" My sister pointed out to me that I've been distant since we came back. And that I should let people in." Oliver said
" So you thought to start with the first person you pushed away." she said
" I did that to protect you." Oliver said
" So that's what you guys talked about this morning." Cam said receiving a nod from Oliver
" Anyways I realized yesterday when I saw you that I hurt you. That I was wrong and I want to apologize." Oliver said
" Is that all you came over for Oliver." laurel asked
" No I always told myself that if I ever got back from the island and had the chance to do it again I'd do it again. Eat ice cream." he said
" That's what you made me tag along for Oliver I had things that I actually wanted to do tonight." Cam'Ron said feeling like he'd been tricked. After his small fit he sat down in a small chair in the room while Laurel got a bowl for herself. " Your an asshole you know that right."
They had been sitting in the room and everything had been going smoothly in terms of conversation Oliver was even able to get advice from Laurel on what to do when it comes to Queens consolidated. Everything was going perfectly for Oliver. Until Cam'Ron stood up from his seat.
" Y'all hear that?" he asked
" No hear what?" Laurel questioned. This caused Cam'Ron to signal for her and Oliver to stay put while he went to the window. " Get her out of here Oliver!" he yelled causing Oliver to grab laurels hand and pull her to the door before it was broken down. Bringing her back inside near Cam'Ron. He pulls out his pistol before it got knocked out of his hand by Chien. Locked i combat with her now the man had his gun trained on Laurel and Oliver, before he could shoot though Diggle shot him in the back then twice more in the chest. Seeing herself outnumbered she kicked Cam'Ron in the chest before running out of the house Diggle giving chase.
Detective Lance came to check on his daughter and after an intense conversation with Cam'Ron and Oliver basically telling them to stay away from laurel he left to find those responsible. Once they were done Oliver and Cam'Ron got back into their car and went home. Cam'Ron walked into his room to see Thea asleep under his covers. Deciding not to wake her he decided to meditate before going to sleep. I woke up at 3am to see Oliver coming in to the house finally.
" Did you finish it Oliver." Cam asked
" Yeah its done another name off the list." he replied
" You know this façade you put on doesn't work with me right." Cam said " Acting like you nothing effects isn't going to help you. And pushing everyone away isn't an advantage." Rather than continue talking Oliver just walked away to his room leaving Cam'Ron in the doorway to his room wondering if this mission their on is even worth it anymore.
