CHAPTER 27

Slade paced back and forth next to his setup he had in the oil refinery where he had fled after his escape from the Queen Consolidated building.

He was angry, the group in black had been an oversight which had now given Oliver the advantage.

Rhythmic footsteps grew louder as Slade planned his next move. When they stopped a voice announced the presence of one of him men. "Boss I've got the girl." There were struggling sounds and Slade turned around.

"Hello Laurel." He sneered.

"You." She croaked out struggling against her captor.

"Yes and you my dear have another important role to play." Slade cryptically informed Laurel before addressing his soldier. "Keep her out of sight and quiet until the Arrow is unarmed."

The masked man nodded and started to drag Laurel away who started struggling anew. "You won't stop him." She screamed.

Slade looked to his fist and watched it shaking as he tried to curb his anger until later when it was needed.

"When are you getting me Felicity Smoak?" An oriental voice demanded sternly.

"When I am ready to deliver, remember you approached me for help." Slade replied without turning. "I always keep my promises."

"Evidently make it quick before the Thunderbirds leave I'd hate to wait for them to come back."

A bleeping brought Slade's attention to his laptop and he strode over to it. Activating the alert a screen popped up showing the Queen Mansion surveillance cameras. Oliver and Felicity were entering the building. He turned up the volume and listened.

Oliver admitted his love for her, Slade felt his hand shake more violently. This was a new development from what his source had revealed Felicity was dating the son of Jeff Tracy that annoying 10% holder of Queen Consolidated. He had seen pictured of them together but this declaration changed everything, Felicity was now confirmed as being the holder of Oliver's affections and she had to die to destroy him and uphold his promise. It meant breaking another promise but that was newer and it was not something that concerned him as much as exacting revenge for Shado.

"Don't worry he will pay." Slade mused aloud seeing Shado watching the screen too.

"As will she." The hard tones of the woman he loved replied.
