I stand with Oliver and Diggle in the warehouse. "Who would kill Adam Hunt with an arrow? I mean, other than you two?" Diggle asks.

"Setup?" I ask.

"You mean someone looking to cover up killing Hunt by making it look like the work of the Hood and woman in black?" Diggle asks.

"Whoever he was, he's good. The grouping in Hunt's chest was tight. It's a compound bow, most likely. The guy is... The guys a legitimate archer. So someone who would be particular about his choice of arrows. We get an arrow, we get a bead on where he purchased them." Oliver says.

"So what are you gonna do?" Diggle asks.

"Be normal for once and call a cop for help." Oliver nods in agreement and pulls out his phone. Oliver calls Quentin and after a few minutes he hangs up.

"How long are you gonna keep that gun pointed at me?" I look at Fyers.

"Till I'm on a plane."

"Do I look like I can do anything?"

"Better safe than sorry." Fyers laughs slightly when I say that.

"Who would think some rich party girl would actually be smart?" I ignore his comment as he looks at Oliver. "You're a good man, Oliver. You're a good man. I can see it. Well, beneath the privileged upbringing and the wealthy veneer. I saw it when my man tortured you And you wouldn't give up your friend. Not even a friend, really. Someone you just met."

"Shut up." Oliver spats at him.

"What do you know about him? Nothing, I suspect. Do you even know what this island really is? It's a prison. I mean this literally. Until eight years ago, the Chinese military operated this island as a penitentiary for criminals deemed so dangerous, the couldn't be safely incarcerated on the mainland. When the military shut the program down, my unit came in and disposed of all the inmates. With the exception of two. Your friend was one of them."

"Who was the other?" Oliver asks.

"You met him. He presided over your interrogation."

"You mean torture." I spat.

"Oliver had information I needed." Both Fyers and Oliver can see the anger written on my face. This makes Fyers smile. "You, well, my man was bored." I looked at him and I took everything for me not to shoot him. Fyers looks back at Oliver. "What would you do in my position. What would you do to capture the man that slaughtered dozens of people?"

"So your friend Lance gave you a Christmas present after all." Diggle says.

"Hmm. Teflon-coated titanium blade serrated to split the bone. Shaft is some type of specialized polymer, which is stronger than a typical carbon fiber. This...this is a custom job." Oliver explains.

"So Lance caved in after the other archer dropped another body." Dig says.

"Nelson Ravich." Oliver says.

"A name we crossed off Robert's list." I point out.

"So is this guy trying to frame you or call you out?" Dig asks.

"Either way, we need to find him." Oliver says while looking at me. In response I nod back.

I stand at Oliver's Christmas party. "You look nice." I turn around to see Oliver and I flash a smile.

"You don't look to bad yourself." Oliver chuckles slightly.

"Thank you." I nod. Its silent for a minute and I clear my throat.

"Any word on our archer friend?" Oliver shakes his head.

"No, not yet. I'll tell you when I do." I nod and Oliver walks away. I grab a glass of champagne and I take a drink. Not long after that Oliver makes a rush for the door.

"Oliver?" Oliver sighs and turns to look at me. "What's wrong?"

"I have to go."

"What?"

"Copycat is attacking."

"Shit. Okay I'll suit up."

"No." I blink a few times confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"Caitlin, he only wants me. Not you. It's too dangerous."

"But Ollie--"

"Please." I look at Oliver's pleading look.

"Okay." Oliver sighs in relief.

"Thank you." he leaves and I sigh.

"Call your people. Tell them to bring the plane."

"There's no need, Yao Fei. My people will be here shortly. Do you not think it not convenient you captured me so easily?" Fyers says with a smirk.

"Go!" Yao Fei yells as men show up.

"What?" me and Oliver ask in unison. We were just supposed to leave him?

"Run!"

Starling City
I stand outside Oliver's waiting room with Diggle. His family was currently inside. "I should have gone with him." I mumble feeling guilty.

"He asked you to stay behind. You were just listening to him. You didn't know this could happen."

"I just don't get why he said to stay back." I say. Diggle Is about to say something but everyone walks out. Thea looks at me.

"He wants to see you." I nod and walk in. I see Oliver and I sigh. I sit next to his bed.

"How you feeling?"

"Fine." Oliver lied.

"Oliver, you can't lie to me."

"I should have been able to beaten him."

"Oliver we get beaten. It happens. Next time I'll be with you and you won't fail." Oliver nods. "Oliver, why did you tell me to stay at the party?"

"It was too dangerous."

"Our lives are dangerous. So, what's the real reason?"

"I don't want you getting hurt."

"Oliver, I am clearly not the one to worry about."

"Yes, you are Caitlin."

"Why? What changed because on the island--"

"You know how I told you I didn't care Helena because I loved someone else?" I nod slightly confused.

"The girl I actually love is...you..." my eyes widen in suprise.

"Ma'am, visiting hours are over. Mr.Queen needs to rest." I look over at the nurse and than Oliver. Great timing.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Oliver says. I nod and i walk out still shocked at what just happened. I walk home, hoping sleep will help with this. But I know it won't.
