2. Unexpected Guest

So here is Chaper 2. this one is ALL about Felicity (Yay!) when she goes out on her own to spy on the Clock Kings' movements.

"Figures", Felicity thought aloud. "The ONE day I am going into the field alone and it has to be pouring rain."

For a moment she thought she should turn back, but then she remembered that she needed to do this, to prove her spot on the team was needed. 'It's only a spy mission anyway', she compromised. 'It's not like I am getting into hand-to-hand combat stuff'.

She turned on Ocean and Grand and found a vacant parking space on a side road. "Okay, deep breaths Felicity. You can do this." She proceeded out of the car and started walking toward the empty building.

Meanwhile, the vigilante was spending a regretful time over at the the Mansion of Silence. When he showed up with Sara, Laurel had lost her temper on both of them, and the awkwardness of the aftermath included everyone choking down their food and making sure not to make eye-contact with 'former' attourney.

To pass the time Oliver decided to text Felicity to see if she got any more information on the Clock Kings' secret setup. After a few minutes of no reply, he rolled his eyes. 'So Felicity of her to get caught up in her hacking occupation', he thought, chuckling slightly.

Suddenly a roomful of eyes stared at him in surprise. Sara raised an eye-brow at him and Laurel was all but ignoring him completely. 'Well, this is going to be a long night', he thought, going back to his plate of food.

After 10 minutes of carrying a small bag of cameras, trying to duck under every ceiling she could to stay out of the rain (which, she was soaked anyway), and acting nonchalant as she passed bystanders, Felicity made it to the abandoned complex.

When she first got inside, Felicity stuck a few mini-cameras around the area of the doors. It seemed like 40 degrees inside and she was already freezing from the rain. She hoped this would be worth the dirty nails and lack of sleep.

Unsure of where the Clock King was hiding out, she made sure to stay clear of any main hallways, and attempted to keep space between her and any rooms. Stairs were her main target for the security cameras. She didn't think any individual would be as dumb as to put their secret lair on the main-floor of the building.

Just as she accessed the third level of the stairway, Felicity decided to check the time. It was only her luck to be in the path of a criminal whose timing was so precise, but wouldn't expect a computer geek (or E.A., ugghh, she hated that job title) to be knocking at his door.

Of course, she wouldn't knock...she didn't want to go near him, let alone be in his way when he timed another murder...'Stop Felicity, you are not helping yourself by getting away with your thoughts! Focus'.

She looked into her pocket and it felt empty. "Weird.", she whispered. "I never forget my phone." She rolled her eyes. "This must be my lucky day." she said sarcastically.

"Well, if that's what you call lucky, then your day is only getting better from here."

A voice, a very creepy voice, and a man to match was standing at the top of the stairs. She was so startled by his appearance she almost bubbled up with laughter. Unfortunately, she didn't stay awake long enough to hear it.

Sorry, I know it was short...but I promise the next chapter will make up for the loss of words :)
