"Everyone check in, Green Arrow?" Dinah asked over the comms.
"In position." Green Arrow said from the rooftop that he and Spartan were perched on overseeing the precinct.
"Terrific?" Dinah asked.
"In position, ready to hack." Mr. Terrific said from the van he was working from.
"Harbinger, you ready to go?" Dinah asked.
"Already in motion." Lyla said as she entered the precinct.
"Can I help you with something?" a cop asked as he noticed Lyla entered.
"Lyla Michaels. Where can I find your captain?" Lyla asked.
"Captain Drake hasn't been in the for the past few days. What's A.R.G.U.S. doing here?" A cop asked.
"Investigating Ricardo Diaz." Lyla said.
"Never heard of him." the cop said though Lyla could tell he was lying.
"Well, be that as it may, I'm gonna need to see your compstat reports over the last 6 months." Lyla said.
"Oh." the cop said almost reluctantly.
"You do not want to make me come back with a warrant." Lyla warned.
"Wait here." the cop said as he walked away.
"You're on, Curtis." Lyla said as she plugged the sniffer into a nearby terminal.
"All right. Locked on. Give it a few minutes." Mr. Terrific said.
"Guys, the encryption array, it's Corto Maltesian in origin." Mr. Terrific said.
"What does that mean?" Green Arrow asked.
"I mean, I don't know, but if I was betting, financial records. What if these are all of Diaz's books, everyone he has on his payroll?" Mr. Terrific asked.
"We could liberate the city, take down his whole operation." Spartan said.
"We need to get that data as soon as possible." Green Arrow asked.
"I'm working on it as fast as I can." Mr. Terrific said, right as they heard shooting breakout.
"Lyla, what's going on?" Spartan asked.
"I'm pretty sure Diaz is onto us." Lyla said as cops approached her and aimed their weapons she tried to make her way out, only to find herself face to face with Diaz.
"Director Michaels, I heard you're interested in me." Diaz said.
"Honey You better get in here." Lyla said over the comms.
"On our way." Spartan said.
"I'm heading in to." Mr. Terrific said.
"Cancel that, Spartan and I have got this, you focus on that download." Green Arrow said.
"I get I messed up, but you need all the help you can get in there." Terrific said.
"He's right Oliver." Spartan said.
"Stay on mission." Green Arrow reluctantly agreed as they all moved into action.
After a firefight that was way too close, Green Arrow, Spartan, Mr. Terrific and Lyla were in the van on their way away from the SCPD.
"So we're on our way back to the bunker right?" Curtis asked.
"No, we're heading to Argus HQ." Oliver said.
"What?" Lyla asked.
"Lyla, Argus has better tech and resources to help us decrypt the intel on the drive, not to mention it's a much more secure location." Oliver said and Lyla nodded.
"Okay, but still, a little heads up would have been nice." Lyla said and Oliver nodded at her apologetically before reaching for his phone to call Thea.
"Hey, what's going on? Did you guys get the data?" Thea asked.
"We did, but now there's been a bit of a change of plans. Tell the others to get whatever gear from you need from the lair before heading to Argus for a more secure location." Oliver said.
"Copy that." Thea said as she hung up.
"So, how long will the decryption take?" Thea asked Curtis as they all gathered in the space Lyla had provided them with in Argus.
"With the help of Argus grade equipment and technicians, I'd say 2-3 hours at most if we're lucky." Curtis said.
"Can you gather information as it decrypts? It'd be nice to get a jump on things." John asked.
"Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no. This is an all-or-nothing type deal, ok? We go in mid-decryption, and the whole drive wipes." Curtis said and Oliver nodded.
"Just get to work on it as fast as you can. The sooner you decrypt that data, the sooner we can liberate the city from that maniac." Oliver said as he moved to head out.
"Where you going?" Dinah asked.
"To check on Laurel and update her on the situation." Oliver said and they nodded.
Laurel was resting up in the Argus medbay when she saw Oliver enter the room.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Oliver asked as he sat down at her bedside.
"Almost fully healed. How'd the mission go?" Laurel asked.
"We got the data and it's being decrypted here by Curtis and some of Lyla's Argus techs and the reason we're doing it here is because this place is more secure. It'll all be over soon and we can finally get married." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"I can't wait." Laurel said as Oliver leaned down and kissed her.
