Chapter 14
Later that night at the foundry, Felicity sat in the quiet. Just enjoying the peace and closed her eyes for a moment setting her glasses down on her counter in front of her. Oliver was a reassuring presence as they went over the numbers with Walter who came in to look over what Felicity had found earlier that day. She was pleased at how Oliver relied on her and trusted her judgment. She sighed as she felt her body relax and release some of the stress of the day.
The quiet was broken by the ringing of her cell phone. She didn't look at the screen keeping her eyes closed trying to release more of the tension in her body. "Hello." She said.
"Do you miss me, Felicity? Shall I come to your apartment again to find you?" his voice said slithering from the phone to her ear.
She looked down at the screen of the phone. The number was blocked. At this point, Felicity had had enough from this guy. She hacked into the cellular network and began to trace his call with him on speaker. "No, Mr. White, coming to my apartment is not needed. You need to understand. The compliments are nice but I am not interested." She said calmly.
"Oh, Felicity, we know that is not true. Think of how your heart races when we speak. I have heard how your breath changes."
"Mr. White, I have been polite to this point but you are already on report to the SCPD and I am losing my patience and ability to remain professional. If you do not leave me alone, you will have to accept the consequences of your actions."
"I can tell you've changed Felicity. Your breath is different. Have you realized I am telling you the truth?"
"No, Mr. White. I have traced your cell location and sent the SCPD and the Arrow to your location as well as put federal level holds on your bank accounts, e-mail addresses, homes, and all off shores accounts. I asked you to leave me alone but your refusal needed a strong consequence. Going to MIT for computer coding has given me many skills and this is just a start. Continue to ignore my warnings and I will do more than just place a hold on your assets I will dissolve and donate everything and it will all be legal. Now, LEAVE ME ALONE." She said hanging up the phone.
She took a deep breath and waited for Oliver to click in to her ear bud system. "Detective Lance has White, Felicity. Is everything okay?" he asked her quietly.
"Yes, Oliver. I'm okay. I had enough of him and his calls. Hacking was needed but maybe he'll listen now. Oh, can we change my cell number again? His final call set me off a few minutes ago and I would rather NOT deal with him again." She said smiling.
"You got it, Felicity. I'm headed back." He said listening to the smile in her voice again.
When she finally got to bed that night, Felicity sighed into the quiet of her room. She smiled as she thought about how her skills had helped Queen Consolidated, Oliver, and herself that day. The detective told her he would be in jail at least over night as he was being charged with Breaking and Entering at her apartment.
She heard her door open and Oliver's voice filled the space. "I'm here, Felicity. I'll be here if you need me."
She sighed as her body gave in to sleep and knowing she was protected and cared for this night as she rested back in her home.
