It had been another busy day at Verdant and Oliver just wanted to relax before he became Arrow and started tracking down a new target. He hopped into the shower to cool off. When he came out of the shower he saw that he had a new message from Felicity; he hoped that she had some new information on their target, but it wasn't. Oliver quickly got dressed, got on his motorbike and drove to Verdant.
When he got there he noticed some tire marks on the road which weren't there before, he went inside and called Felicity's name but there was no reply. He was on his way downstairs when he saw his training pole on the floor. He went to pick it up when he saw a object glisten further across the floor so he went over and picked it up, he rolled it in between his fingers trying to recall where he had seen it before. When he got downstairs he turned the lights on and went over to the computers which had been shut down, the screens lit up and he saw his next target's location but didn't understand why didn't Felicity send me this, what happened. He phoned Diggle to find out where he was, when he heard someone up stairs so he turned round to look at the CCTV feed and saw that it was Diggle with a bag of Chinese in one hand and his phone in his other hand.
Diggle came down and set the Chinese on the table with a distracted look on his face, he had realised that he had missed several phone calls from Felicity,.
"Where's Felicity?"
"I don't know that's why I am here I got this weird text from her."
Oliver handed over his phone and Diggle read the text message, 'Hurry please someone here with arrows. '
"Have you looked at the CCTV yet from earlier?" asked Diggle as he handed back the phone.
Oliver turned round and started frantically typing on the computer and brought up the CCTV from earlier, Diggle moved the Chinese out the way so he could see better when he accidentally knocked over a bottle of water he went to pick it up, when he saw Felicity's glasses on the floor behind the table. He went around to pick them up and showed them to Oliver. Oliver then looked up at Diggle which was when he saw another black arrow stuck in the wall but this time it was different it had a place for a capsule that was no longer there.
"I saw one of those arrows downstairs I think someone was here and took Felicity" Oliver stated as he gestured to the arrow that was stuck in the wall.
Once they had watched the CCTV and saw what had happened it confirmed their suspicions; Felicity had been taken. Oliver then got an idea.
"If I know Felicity I think she would have turned her phone's GPS on for us to find her like we do with our targets."
Oliver started to type again on the computer which brought up a map with a signal area of where her phone could be, and they hoped she would be too. Diggle pointed out an old abandoned apartment building. They decided Oliver would go check out the building whilst Diggle watched the CCTV footage again to try and spot a clue as to who took her and to where.
It took Oliver an hour to get to the building which wasn't good as the longer it took for them to find her; the further ahead they would be. He got off his bike, adjusted his hood and quiver and started looking in all the rooms, it reminded him of when he was looking for The Savior. He just hoped they had gotten the right building first time round unlike the last time. He finally reached the last room and went inside he had nearly given up until saw a phone at the back of the room he picked it up and looked at it; it had a spider web crack on the screen. Thats why the signal was faulty; because the phone was off. He put the phone in his pocket when suddenly he heard a Whoosh. Oliver ducked, rolled and then set an arrow ready to shoot; he catiously walked over to the window being sure to have cover. But by the time he reached the window the shooter had gone he slowly lowered his bow and turned around to the arrow which was when he saw the note hanging from it…
'Nice try Oliver, but it won't be that easy'
