Save Me

Slade turned to Oliver as rage coursed through his body. "Where is she?"

"Somewhere that you and David cannot get to her." Oliver has been in touch with John and Lyla while staying with Felicity and after seeing Damian Darhk he knew things were going to get worse. They had worked out a plan in case they needed to get Felicity somewhere safe and it had worked like a charm.

Slade backhanded Oliver across the face and as his head flew to the side and blood spurted from his lip he turned back and glared at Slade. He was going to allow him this for now. He had to be patient. He wanted to get to David and to get to David he had to let Slade think he had him beaten. He would allow that, for now.

Slade glared at him and placed his gun to Oliver's chin. "Give me your knife kid."

Oliver pulled the knife he had hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Slade. "Now since you are not going to tell me where to find her then you are going to come with me."

Slade knocked Oliver unconscious. He would take him to David and let him decide how to deal with him. Yes, he owed the kid, but he couldn't think about that right now. David was paying a handsome reward for the man that could bring Felicity to him alive and he was going to get that reward. It would allow him to focus on finding Shado's killer for awhile and nothing was going to stand in his way.

Felicity pulled against John as he moved quickly toward the vehicle that they had waiting down below. She saw Roy sitting in the driver's seat and then turned to John.

"Wait, we can't leave, what about Oliver?"

"Oliver can take care of himself. Come on, we have to go."

"John I am not leaving without Oliver."

"Felicity I promised Oliver that if we were ever in a situation such as this that I would get you to safety and that is exactly what I am going to do. Oliver knows where we are taking you and he will meet us there. Now come on!"

John opened the back door of the SUV and helped her inside as Lyla crawled in next to her and John jumped into the passenger seat.

"Let's go Roy."

"So, you guys had this planned from the beginning?" Felicity looked at the three of them in surprise.

"Oliver called and talked to John after he saw Damian Darhk in town. He knew things would get worse and he wanted to make sure you were safe. John and I set up an A.R.G.U.S., safe house just outside of town and we promised him that we would take you there if anything happened. Roy agreed to go along and keep you company while John and I head back to handle Damian."

Felicity looked at Roy as he glanced at her through the rear-view mirror. "That means you are stuck with me for a few days Blondie." He smiled.

"But what about the diner? Whose running it while you guys are helping me?"

"Lisa and a friend of hers are going to work the breakfast and lunch shifts, we are going to close the diner for dinner hours and John called in a favor with another agent to be the cook for a few days."

She looked at her amazing friends. She hated that they were having to go to these lengths to protect her and she was scared for Oliver. He had been left alone with that maniac, and despite the fact he seemed to know him, Felicity did not trust him.

"John promise me you will bring Oliver back safe." She looked imploringly at her friend.

"I promise Felicity."

Roy drove quickly toward the location that John had given him a few days ago. He was happy that John and Lyla had trusted him enough to bring him in on the plan and he was going to make certain that they did not regret it.
