Diggle's team had finally locate Felicity's car. After a series of misses, Dig and Oliver were on route to Coast City. The name Megan Smoke had popped up in a rent contract for a house and a job contract in Coast City. They were hoping to confirm it was Felicity.

Oliver, having some friends in Coast City, manage to confirmed Megan was working every day that week.

The road and been tough to bare since they left Vegas. They followed Felicity's traveling route but they were just way behind her and keep on arriving too late to whatever town she had stopped. Coast City may just yet be another pit stop and Oliver was trying not to get his hopes up while Dig really felt this was it.

Oliver's phone rang.

"Unknown caller… Hello."

"Hi. Oliver?"

"Yes."

"It's Donna. Donna Smoak?"

"Donna! Hi. Felicity called?"

Oliver put the phone on loudspeaker for Diggle to hear.

"Yes, she did. She said it was alright to call you back."

Donna was loyal and loved her daughter, Felicity was lucky to have her. If Felicity had said no, Donna would never have called.

"Thank you for calling me, Donna. How is she? Where is she?"

"She's OK, her words. She wouldn't tell me where she was, Oliver, even though I asked more than once."

Oliver expected Felicity would do that.

"But I told her what had been happening in the world, and by world I mean Starling, and your wedding being called off, she didn't know, she wasn't expecting that at all, Oliver. She told me she needed to process."

"Process?"

"It's typical Felicity, Oliver. She's just like her father, they need to process anything that is unexpected, they need to process the changes, the implications, the consequences and ponder the way they have to adjust to the new reality. It's a good thing, Oliver, take it from me. I understand you are in pain, she is too and I told her as much, but now that she knows everything, she will catch up quick. I know my girl."

"You know her well." It was a statement of fact.

"We were alone for many years, honey, we only had each other. I know she says she doesn't talk to me, that we are estranged, but it's a farce, it's just her way to protect me, she does a lot of hacker stuff. Cooper was arrested at MIT because of something she had developed…"

"Cooper what?"

"She's ashamed of it to this date but she developed a Super Virus at MIT. Her intentions were to do good things with it but Cooper decided to use it in a personal matter and she stop him. Later they found she didn't act quick enough. The virus origin was traced by authorities and Cooper was arrested. Felicity wanted to come forward, turn herself in; she was the virus developer after all, but Cooper didn't let her. Turns out he made a deal to work for the NSA; they thought he was the genius behind the super virus. The NSA fake his death to justify his disappearance. My poor baby suffer so much at the time. Since all this happen, Felicity has been very careful putting me out of harms way. By pretending we have a distant relationship she prevents creeps like Cooper from coming after me to get to her."

Oliver was amazed as was Diggle. Felicity, silently sitting at her desk, lived quite a dangerous life.

"Donna, I'm on the way to Coast City, following a very promising lead. We may find Felicity very soon. What worries us is we are almost certain Cooper got the same information we did, so there is a possibility that he get's to her sooner. If she calls please tell her."

Oliver didn't doubt Felicity's tracking skills but he preferred covering all the bases.

"Did you say Coast City?"

"Yes. Does that have any significance?"

"Her father his from Coast City."

"Does Felicity know about that? And about his dangerous family history?"

"No. We both never wanted her to know. She was safer not knowing. Please find my baby girl."

"We will do our best. Next time she calls…"

"I'll tell her about Cooper. And call you right back."

Oliver thought to himself Felicity really had a complicated family no wonder she didn't talk about it.

"I think I get the family resemblance between Felicity and Donna. They are both blond and they both hide family secrets terribly well."

"I would agree with you, Oliver, except Felicity dyes her hair."

"She does?"

"Oh man..." Dig couldn't stop laughing.

They went straight to Ferris headquarters. It was her lunch break, Megan had gone out.

"Megan, nice chick, Megan. We went for a coffee together this morning and she was very very nice indeed. If you know what I mean." a wicked smile on his face.

This Charles guy was out of line. Diggle felt Oliver getting tense. Oliver would wipe this guy smile of his face in a second if he keep this up. Diggle had to steep in.

"She probably is, we really never meet her we just have a delivery for her..."

"I can take it. Maybe I just deliver it to her house later." Charles said with a wink.

Oliver took a step forward, his hand in fists. Dig took a step to the his side stopping Oliver from going any further.

"It's hand to hand delivery. You seem pretty well informed about Megan, do you know where she goes to lunch?"

"She brings her lunch from home and eats in the park down the road."

Charlie was both sad and disgusted she behaved so.

"We have a cafeteria, you know. We all eat there, it's quite a nice place, only the coffee sucks."

"Thank you. You've been very helpful."

Diggle pull a bit on Oliver's arm, and they both walked to the exit.

"That prick. Did you hear how he talked about her?"

"I did Oliver. He's a jerk but beating his head to a pulp wouldn't have helped us much. Quite the opposite."

Diggle was right Oliver knew that but... he couldn't stop himself back there.

Arriving at the park and without leaving the car, couldn't risk she saw them first, they started looking for her.

Oliver was the first to see her. He would have recognized her anywhere. He immediately reached for the door handle.

"Oliver, don't, not yet. Look there on the other side behind the trees."

Oliver focused on the human figure lurking in the shadow between the trees.

"It's Cooper."

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure"

Felicity, tablet at hand, go up. Cooper was somewhere in the city, she had to keep people around her, she couldn't be alone out here in the city. There was a group walking towards her that worked on the legal aid office right next to Ferris's, she was going to stay close to them in order to get to work.

She felt a hand grab her arm and dragged her through the park towards the exit. She struggled hard but to no avail, by the entrance he made her turn to him.

"You are going to come with me right now, Felicity Megan. Stop struggling."

"I thought I told you not to touch me and to walk away. I do think you have some practice, at least, on walking away."

"It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

"I just got here. I like the city. I will leave whenever I want to. If you're afraid I want to mess up your life don't fret I wish you away from mine I have no desire to invade yours. Now let go of my arm, NOW."

He did as she asked.

"Megan... it's not like that. Things are not like you think."

"I don't care. I was nothing to you before I rather be nothing to you now. You sure are nothing to me. Now, I have to go to work. Goodbye."

She almost had to run but she manage to catch up with the group. She would be safe once at work.

From their seat in the car Oliver and Diggle witness all the exchange and Felicity exit.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

"I don't know but I never seen Felicity that upset in my life, Dig."

But then the man looked up, to the same trees they themselves were watching before, and Oliver could see it. The family resemblance was startling.

"Dig it's her father."

The man was now looking at Felicity has she walked to the distance.

Diggle focused on the man. Over the years he had crossed paths with so many kinds of man he generally manage to be fairly accurate on typify anyone. Based on that he made his assessment. If this really was Felicity's dad, and Dig believed he was, Cooper was in for a bigger surprise than he expected. Clearly he was trained; he had identified effortlessly Cooper hiding in the trees and his eyes said murder. Diggle could see where many of Felicity skills had come from, this man was not to be trifled with.

"Dig, with all this Felicity went back to work."

Getting the engine to start Diggle decide to pick on Oliver

"Now, aren't you glad you didn't beat that Charlie guy up?"

Oliver laugh, a light laugh. He had found Felicity she was just there. She looked different but it was her. He could finally breath a bit easier.
