Sara came inside the restaurant and sat down beside Oliver. She was dressed in a blue button up shirt and black jeans.
"So I see you finally pulled your head out of your ass and took my advice," she said praising Oliver. She looked over at Felicity and smiled. "I'm happy for you Ollie."
"Thanks, but uh what are you doing back in Starling?" Oliver asked curiously. Sara grabbed a fry from his plate and dipped it in ketchup. She took a bite.
"League business, which brings up the topic of Malcolm Merlyn. How could you not tell me he kidnapped Laurel? Oliver that is my sister!" Sara said furrowing her eyebrows.
"We had it under control. He was setting up a trap to kill you Sara. We weren't just going to let you walk straight into it. And what does the League want with Starling?" Oliver asked reassuring the angry Sara.
"I don't care, she is my sister, and they sent me down here to get Malcolm's location from you. They know you locked him away and are for some reason protecting that piece of dirt. Actually why are you protecting him? "Sara asked still angry.
"Even though he is a low life piece of dirt who deserves to rot in hell, he is still my sister father and if I killed him she would be devastated," Oliver explained trying to get Sara to see his side of the argument.
She nodded and said, "Look Ollie, I understand but he needs to face the league for all the trouble he caused. I know you took him to Lian Yu with Slade. I haven't told the league yet, but I can't hold back this information forever. They know me to well. Just let us take him and give him the justice he deserves."
"Killing him isn't justice. Merlyn being alive and suffering is. I don't want to stir trouble with the league but I can't just give Malcolm up," Oliver said looking over at Felicity who was actually being silent for once.
"Oliver there will be a price to pay. The league doesn't take no for an answer. I won't be able to protect you guys. Please Ollie, I want you to be happy," she said glancing at Felicity.
"What would I tell Thea? There must be some other way," Oliver insisted.
"Not unless you want to fight Ra's Al Ghoul to the death," Sara said.
"No," squeaked Felicity. "Oliver as much as I am against this, is it really worth it to put all of us and possibly the city in danger?"
"Look Oliver I am going to tell Ra's either way. You can be for or against it, but against will bring you horrible consequences," Sara said standing up. "I really hate to do this, because I understand where you are coming from."
"You know I'm not going to stand by and let him be killed," Oliver said looking at the two women.
"He did when thousands of innocent people were killed in The Glades. You also already made the choice to kill him once. Just think about that," Sara said crossing her arms. "Look I will drop by sometime tomorrow and then I am heading back. Enjoy the rest of your date." Sara turned and walked out of the door.
"Well I guess that means plans are cancelled for tonight," Felicity said glumly looking down at her food.
"No, let's still enjoy our night. I'll think of something tomorrow," Oliver said not wanting to ruin their date.
"You sure? This is pretty important." Felicity said looking surprised.
"So are you. I'm not going to let Malcolm impose on our relationship all the way from the island. Now where were we?" Oliver said returning his focus on her.
…
Oliver woke up to a buzzing sound coming from his left. A heavy weight rested on his lap. He opened his eyes to find Felicity passed out snuggling against him. He heard the buzzing noise again and realized it was his phone on the small table by the couch. He reached over and grabbed the phone to see that A.R.G.U.S. was calling him.
He answered the phone to hear, "Hello is this Oliver Queen?"
"Yes?"
"We have lost contact with the guards we had stationed on Lian Yu. We believe one or more prisoners may have escaped. We are sending in a team as we speak to investigate. We will contact you when more information is obtained."
"What?" He tried to ask before the other line went dead.
"Who was that?" Felicity asked sitting up and stretching. She let out a yawn and looked at Oliver. "Did I fall asleep on you?"
"That was A.R.G.U.S. they lost contact with their people on the island. They sent out a team to investigate. And yes I believe you fell asleep in my lap," Oliver answered. Felicity blushed and smiled.
"Sorry, I guess I was tired. Do you think Malcolm escaped?" She asked. Her face was slightly flustered.
"Honestly I would rather he have escaped then Slade. If Slade escaped his threats wouldn't be so idle anymore," he said looking at Felicity with a protective instinct.
"You think he would come after me?" She asked. Oliver nodded and she nervously gulped.
"I would keep you safe though," Oliver said creating a little tension between the two.
"I know, I trust you Oliver," she said reaching over to squeeze his hand.
"What did I do to deserve you?" Oliver wondered aloud.
" I could ask the same question," Felicity said moving in closer. He brought his lips to her and ran his hand down her back. His phone began vibrating again in the background but he ignored it. "Aren't you going to get that?' Felicity muttered putting her hand on his chest.
Oliver sighed and grabbed the phone off the table. "What," he answered angrily.
"Bad timing? Sara is here at The Foundry and wants to talk to you," Diggle said.
"What time is it?" Oliver questioned.
"Close to noon why?" Diggle asked confused.
"Wow I really slept in. Okay tall her I'll be there in thirty minutes."
"Will do, and have you heard from Felicity? I've been trying to contact her but she isn't picking up," Diggle asked unknowingly.
"We may have both passed out last night. I'll let her know Diggle," Oliver said to a giggling Felicity.
"Sure, okay see you guys soon," Diggle said anging up the phone.
"To the Foundry I guess," Oliver said unenthusiastically.
