Chapter Twelve:
Now that Slade had Walter, Thea and Lance on the bandwagon, he moved onto the next part of his plan. Stop Ra's Ah Ghul impersonating the Arrow and hoping the city would start supporting Oliver as the vigilante again. He had a feeling this would not be as easy as the first part of the plan. So with Felicity's help he called another team meeting.
On the way to the Foundry he paused to stop a mugging, making him late. As he walked down the stairs he noticed Lance was at the whiteboard with the others sitting around the desk. Maybe they had started brainstorming without him. He paused when he saw the larger than normal grin on Oliver's face and Lance's scowl.
"I don't sleep with a gun. That would be stupid." Slade nodded as agreeance, giving Felicity a quick questioning look wondering why she didn't clean off the board.
"I obviously keep it on the bedside table. I sleep with a knife." Lance continued, Slade froze then and looked at the man in shock. Even on the Island he had only kept one weapon in arms length as he slept and that was his sheathed sword. Was the man simply paranoid to keep a fully loaded gun and a knife so close, or was there a reason?
"You would be surprised at how many threats I get, especially these days." Though Slade was still slightly shocked, he took note of that knowledge.
"I can install a silent alarm at your house Detective, that way when you activate it a message gets sent to everyone of us, and then 2 minutes later a concealed voice that I programmed will send a call to the police stating your address and that it is an emergency." Felicity offered.
"That would be appreciated Miss Smoak," Lance said with a smile. He then sat down and Slade began erasing the board. Just as he finished writing PROJECT: STOP RA'S Felicity's computers began beeping loudly. She rushed over to them and began reading. She turned and faced them looking pale and horrified.
"The Arrow is currently massacring people at Starling Mall." She said.
