A couple weeks later and Felicity got her opportunity to get out of the compound. She had gotten some kind of bug and Li insisted that she see a doctor. So Felicity and Amy went into the closet town on their own. Before heading into the doctor's Felicity found a pay phone in the back of a convenience store. Amy kept watch while Felicity dialed. Thankfully Lyla answered.

"Lyla Michaels."

"Lyla it's Felicity."

"Oh hey. I'm with Dig, Oliver and Thea right now. Do you want me to put you on speaker?"

Amy motioned for her to be quick. "No listen I don't have a lot of time. Li Chang had me build this virus that overheats an electronic device enough to wear the device self destructs. He told me it was for the CIA but it is for his own personal use."

Lyla snapped to attention. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I found a hit list. It is full of former CIA and A.R.G.U.S agents. Your name is on it Lyla."

She paused. "Can you stop it?"

"Not without Li figuring out it's me. There is a way I can stop the virus once it's sent but I need a different server. If my friend sends you the list of names can you warn them?"

"Of course. But Felicity if these guys you are working for are using you to kill these people you need to get out of there."

"I know but I can't just up and leave or they will know something is up. And don't call my cell about this or they'll know."

Lyla was talking to someone in the background and then she sighed. "Oliver wants to come out there and get a feel for what is going on."

"I don't know. They may suspect him."

"Not if he goes there for A.R.G.U.S and not as Oliver Queen."

Felicity thought for a minute. "Okay set it up. I have to go."

"I'll be in touch."

She hung up and looked at Amy. "Oliver is coming out here."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Woah."

"Yeah."

Felicity was pacing in Shawn and Amy's apartment. She was freaking out.

"I don't know how this happened."

Amy spoke as she poured another glass of wine. "Well I can tell you how it happened."

Felicity threw her a look making her shut up. Shawn looked at Felicity carefully.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I never thought that I would have this happen to me."

"Well it can happen to anyone. And Amy says Oliver is coming out here?"

Her eyes widened. "Oh God! I totally forgot! I can't not tell him if he is here."

"Well just make sure you give the guy a beer or two first."

She groaned and flopped onto the couch. "How did my life get so complicated?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Felicity finished typing in a new string of codes when Li walked in.

"Felicity how are we doing today?"

She glanced up. "Good. I finished my latest inscription code. It should be up and running by the end of the week."

He nodded. "I spoke with Lyla Michaels this morning. She is sending Oliver Queen out here to see about hiring a couple personal bodyguards. He's mayor of your city correct?"

"Yes and a good friend. I was figuring on allowing him to stay in my room."

Li had a twinkle in his eye and gave her a grin. "Oh...well in that case I will send a car to get him from the airport."

She nodded. "Thank you. I'm sure he will be impressed by your services."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Oliver walked into Dark Horse not expecting much. He was greeted by a sharply dressed Chinese man. He smiled and extended his hand to Oliver.

"Mr. Queen welcome to Dark Horse. I am Mr. Chang."

Oliver shook his hand smiling. "Hen gaoxing jian dao ni zhang xiansheng." (It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Chang.)

Mr. Chang looked impressed. "Feichang hao nuwang xiansheng." (Very good Mr. Queen.)

Oliver nodded. "Felicity speaks very highly of you."

"Well she is a very valuable asset. I assume that you would like to get settled in after your long journey."

"That would be great."

"Miss. Smoak has arranged for you to stay in her suite during your stay."

Oliver stepped onto the elevator with him and they rode up to the top floor. Mr. Chang motioned to the door in front of them.

"Have a nice evening."

Oliver cocked his brow at the weird look he was giving him. Oliver opened the door and was almost knocked off of his feet by Felicity hugging him. He laughed.

"I missed you too."

She pulled away and shut the door behind him. "Oh you have no idea how good it is to be around someone that I know doesn't want to kill me."

He looked surprised. "Seriously?"

"Seriously."

He looked at the apartment and whistled under his breath. "Nice place."

"Thanks."

When a knock came on the door Felicity opened it. Amy stood there and smiled.

"Hey come over when your finished dinner."

Felicity nodded and shut the door. Oliver looked at her questionably.

"My friend Amy. She and her husband are in the suite next door." She dropped her voice and spoke meaningfully. "They're trustworthy."

He nodded. They ordered dinner and ate at her dining table. He noticed how odd she was acting.

"Are you okay? You seem kind of jumpy."

She shrugged. "A lot has happened."

"Well maybe I can help."

When they finished their meal she led the way to Amy and Shawn's. She didn't bother knocking. Amy and Shawn were flipping through files on the table. He stood and shook Oliver's hand.

"Shawn Hook."

"Oliver Queen."

Felicity smiled. "Shawn is an expert marksman and former CIA."

Oliver nodded. Amy shook his hand smiling.

"I'm Shawn's wife Amy."

"Nice to meet you."

Shawn motioned for them to sit then showed him the files.

"I've been looking at everyone whose name is on that list. All of them have been involved in their respective organizations for a while and all are high ranking."

Oliver nodded. "So they have no connection?"

"Other then the fact they are all competition."

"You lost me."

"Li Chang has built Dark Horse from the ground up. The only way to build a company like this is by taking out the competition. If A.R.G.U.S and the CIA are out of the picture people would be relying on his business."

Amy nodded. "It's rather genius."

Oliver looked for himself. "So when do you think he will send the virus?"

"When Felicity's contract is up most likely."

"But that's not for three months."

"Exactly the work they're having her do now is their cover up."

Felicity spoke. "I put a loophole in the code. They won't be able to find it but it is my way of cancelling it. Anything I do now won't affect that."

He nodded. "So you just need to lay low and not draw any attention to yourself until your contract is up."

"I can play a dumb blonde."

He laughed. Shawn nodded.

"That's the point. We need to get to these people and warn them without Li realizing what we are doing."

Amy groaned. "That's easier said then done."

Oliver took the list. "Not if Lyla and I do it."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Felicity glanced at Oliver when they got back in her suite. He noticed and cleared his throat.

"I'll crash on the couch."

She rolled her eyes. "We're adults Oliver. I think we can sleep in the same bed without having sex."

He smiled. "Okay."

Felicity stepped into the bathroom and Oliver unpacked his leather duffle. He noticed a picture on the nightstand and looked. It was a sonogram photo. He was stunned.

"Felicity?"

She stepped out of the bathroom. "Yeah?"

He held up the photo. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
