Oliver groaned as he tried to open his eyes. He blinked couple of times and saw a dirty brick wall ahead. His head was throbbing in pain where he was hit with the gun. He slowly sat upright on the cold floor of a cabin that was propably somewhere in the woods. The cabin was empty with the only light coming through the small window. The vigilante was glad his hands and legs were not tied. He waited for the pain and dizziness to die down and then suddenly a name popped in his mind. Barry!
Oliver frantically searched for his friend and saw he was lying down in a corner of the room. He quickly got up forgetting his own pain and ran towards the boy "Barry?" The hero cracked open his eyes "I am alive. You can relax" Oliver sighed and slumped beside him. He gave a small hit on Barry's arm "You scared the hell out of me"
"Sorry but I can't move. I think he just reopened the wound in my leg" Barry shut his eyes and clenched his jaw to ride out another wave of pain. Oliver immedetialy checked Barry's leg. It was bleeding again but what scared him most was that it looked infected. The skin was reddish and felt warm to touch. He closed his eyes in frustration. This was not suppose to happen.
Barry asked Oliver to help him sit so the older man propped up the boy on the wall behind them. Barry clutched his thigh and cursed when the pain shot up through his leg. Oliver sat down next to his friend "Are you alright?" Barry glared at his friend "Oh I don't know Ollie...let's see...first we get crashed..then I had a freaking rod in my ankle...my bag got ruined...I am slowly starving to death...and the one thing I am allergic to is the only thing available in this damn island...now we are kidnapped by dangerous criminals...so yeah Oliver I am so fine!" he finished yelling and threw his head back at the wall
"I am sorry" Oliver said after few seconds "Look..."
Barry was not done yet "By the way who asked you to come out from your hiding place?" Oliver frowned "What? Are you seriously going to hold that against me? He was hurting you Barry!"
"I had it under control!"
Oliver matched Barry's glare "Oh yeah? Good job!" he pointed towards his ankle "Atleast be thankful for rescuing you" Barry let out a scoff "Great rescue plan" he pointed at the room
Both glared at each other for few seconds and then started laughing. Barry groaned as if even laugh was hurting him "Tell me you have a real plan" Oliver blew a puff of air "Well.." The door to the cabin opened with a screech. Barry reached out and caught Oliver's arm who squeezed in return "Let me do the talking"
Gabriel entered in with his four men "Separate them!" Two men came forward and pulled Oliver from the floor. He took him to one side of the room. Barry was also pulled to his feet who let out a small gasp when the pressure was put on his ankle. Gabriel slowly walked towards Oliver "What is your name?" Oliver glared at the man "Let us go!"
Oliver doubled over when a hard punch was driven to his stomach. "Hey!" yelled Barry. The vigilante coughed and saw a grin on Gabriel's face "I ask and you will answer. Why not we try again. What is your name?"
"Richard Miles"
Gabriel hummed and this time he hit Oliver on his jaw who grunted loudly. Barry struggled to get free "Stop hitting him! What is your problem? We told you we are tourists!" The leader turned his attention on the boy and smiled "How could I forget" he caught Oliver's jaw tightly "You need the right motivation to tell the truth" his eyes fixed on Barry. Oliver's eyes widened "No! Don't hurt him"
Gabriel ignored Oliver and started walking towards Barry who gritted his teeth "You don't scare me!"
"Hmm...I am not going to scare you...it's your partner over here who is scared for you" Gabriel didn't wait for Barry to reply and gave a vicious kick to his ankle. Barry screamed as new angry pain blasted on his leg. He would have surely fallen down if the men weren't keeping him upright
"You bastard! I am going to kill you!" Oliver yelled as he fruitlessly struggled to get free. He saw Barry give him a small nod telling he was okay but the older man knew the damage was already done. Gabriel raised his voice "One more lie and I will make sure he spends rest of his life in wheelchair. I know your name is Oliver Queen and he is Barry Allen! You two are not related"
Oliver was shocked. How did Gabriel know their identities. What else does he know? "How did you know?" The goon scoffed and showed him their wallets and Oliver was glad there was nothing in it to prove they were arrow and the flash "So tell me what is a millionaire and a CSI doing here?"
"Look I swear to you it's just a coincidence. We were going for a vacation in Costa Rica and the storm hit us" Oliver hoped the goon would believe him. He didn't want him to know they were here to catch him.
"Then why did you lie about your identities?" asked the leader. Oliver looked at Barry and then at the man "I was scared okay...you had guns and I have been kidnapped so many times before for my money...plus I didn't want Barry to get hurt because of me. I promised his father to bring him back safe" Barry, even in pain looked at the older man in disbelief. He wanted to remind Oliver that he was the one who asked for his help but the hero remained quiet with a small pout on his face
Oliver saw the goon was buying his lie so he continued. Maybe he could convince him to get Joe back on the island "Look...just ask for the ransom and let us go"
Gabriel let out humorous laugh "I don't want your money" Barry asked the leader "If you don't want money then why are you keeping us here?" The goon gave a sadistic smile "I want Mr Queen over here to do a job for me" Oliver frowned "What job?"
"My container is going to arrive tomorrow night and I want you to bring me the delivery"
"What? Why me?"
Gabriel glared at Oliver "Because of you two idiots that chopper is still hovering over this island. Since the boy over here is from police it won't take long for them to land and start their search which will lead straight towards me. This container is very important for me and I will not loose it because of you!"
Oliver was still confused "Where do we fit in this?"
"If the cops arrive I want you to distract them until I get away from this island. I have made all the arrangements. And yes the boy will remain with me whole time, you know to make sure that you stick to our deal. I assure you once I leave, the boy will be given back to you safely. But if you don't agree to help me...well let's just say you are going to have to explain the boy's father about his tragic death"
There was a silence in the room for a while. Barry and Oliver processing the whole demand that Gabriel was forcing on them. Barry shook his head at Oliver. There was no way he was going to allow Oliver helping a criminal for him. He would rather die catching the bad man instead of getting involved in his hideous plan. He was going to say out loud when Oliver beat to him
"I will not do it!"
Barry stood rigidly, shocked for a second thinking...That didn't take long to decide.
