Save Me

Untitled Part 16

Felicity knew this and there were days when they would sit in her apartment and sing or watch movies together and those were some of the best days of his life. Felicity had also encouraged him to try to meet someone, so he had been working with her on an online profile and he wanted to let her know that he had 10 hits yesterday; a couple of the women he was even working up the nerve to ask on a date.

Roy drove through the streets, his mind on taking the route that John and Lyla had designated for him. They were concerned about him being tailed so the route was long and windy. He periodically glanced in his rearview mirror and seeing that it was clear finally headed down the road to the safe house. He waved to the agents that recognized him from the photo they had been given and then took the dirt driveway to the front of the house that was set back about 200 feet from the road.

The house was on 12-acres of land and as he raced up the stairs and used the code he had been given he thought about asking Felicity to take a walk with him. Maybe it would do her some good to get out of the house and get some fresh air.

He laughed when he saw her huddled on the couch, with her hair all up on top of her head, her glasses perched on her nose, wrapped in a blanket and typing furiously at the laptop on her lap.

"Well if it isn't hacker Barbie." He teased as he walked up and outright laughed at the glare she sent him over her glasses. He kissed her cheek and she gave him a fake shove to his shoulder.

"What are you doing here Harper? John told me that you were working at the diner."

"My shift ended, and Oliver asked if I would come stay with you while he took care of a few things in town."

Felicity frowned at that; what was Oliver up to?

"Did he say when he would be back?"

"No, he just asked for me to come stay with you. What are you working on?"

"I have been working on getting into David's personal documents and just accomplished that so now I am scanning them for keywords."

Roy moved closer, placing his arm along the back of the couch, intrigued. "What are you looking for?"

"Anything on what David might have planned next."

To be honest she was looking for anything on him that she could find. Anything that would tell her what he might have in store next, where he was staying, who else he might have on his payroll. She was ready for this whole situation to be over with, so she could settle down and maybe have a semblance of an ordinary relationship with Oliver. At least that was the plan.

"Is this something you can set to search? I thought we would go for a walk. John said there is a pond out the back door about 100 yards. I thought it might be good for you to get some fresh air."

Felicity typed a few words and then smiled setting the computer on the coffee table. "Yep, let me get my shoes on."

She hurried down the hall to her room to gather her shoes and pull on a sweater over her tank top as Roy headed to the kitchen to get a bottle of water.

Felicity was excited about getting out for even a few minutes. Even with agents on the grounds Oliver had asked that she stay inside unless he or John was with her. Surely that applied to Roy as well.

She placed her arm through Roy's and they both walked down the warn path behind the house. It was a beautiful breezy afternoon and the sky was a brilliant blue. It made her think of Oliver's eyes.

As they reached the pond Roy picked up and skipped a stone across the water as they talked and caught up. Felicity stared at the ripples as Roy's familiar voice droned on beside her. She couldn't stop thinking about Oliver.

Where the hell was he?

***

The man stood behind a tree with his binoculars trained on the two people that had paused to talk by the pond. He smiled a crooked smile as he thought of how easy it had been to trail the young man in the truck. He had been so predictable driving in circles and patterns that he had easily picked up.

However, when they young man finally hit the road to drive to this location he had been easy to trail.

Brown eyes watched, narrowing as the blonde threw her had back and laughed at something the young man had said and pulling out his phone he dialed a familiar number.

"Hey boss. I found your target."

David smiled a smile on the other end of the phone that could only be described as evil, the smile never even getting close to his eyes.

"Good job Firefly. Text me your location. I am on my way."
