Save Me

Untitled Part 17

David laughed a mirthless laugh, "Slade Wilson has orders to take care of Oliver. He won't be bothering you any more."

David stepped forward and Roy quickly growled, "If you take one more step near her you will regret it." David's eyes flickered to Firefly giving him a signal and he quickly grabbed Felicity from behind and pulled her away from Roy. Roy turned to tackle Firefly and David pulled out a gun from his jacket.

"I would not take one more step if I were you Mr. Harper."

Felicity glared at David fighting against the hands that were holding her back. "Leave Roy alone David. This is between you and I. I will go with you where ever you want, just leave Roy alone."

There was no desperation in her voice, no fear, only resignation. She had known this day would come. The day where everything between her and David would come to a head and a part of her had known that even having Oliver around would not keep her from this moment. She needed to settle things with David once and for all, not only for the safety of herself and those she loved, but for closure.

David glanced at her and smiled, "You always were smart my love."

Firefly pushed her toward David and as she stumbled Roy quickly grabbed her, his eyes begging her not to go. She pushed away from Roy and tried to reassure him with a look that she knew what she was doing and she would be ok.

She walked up to David and he quickly gripped her arm tightly. She knew she was going to have a bruise. Firefly grabbed Roy and started to drag him off and as Roy fought David dragged Felicity into the house. He threw her onto the couch and then pulled out his phone, "My wife is with me so please bring the car around to pick us up." He hung up and walked over pulling her up roughly from the couch. "Let's go."

He dragged her to the door and Felicity knew in that split second that if she went out that door that Oliver, John and Lyla would never find her. She tore her arm away from his grip and then turned pulling the gun she had hidden in the back of her pants out and aimed it right at him. Since the moment that Oliver had taken her for shooting lessons she had been carrying the gun with her. She was still fairly shaky when it came to pulling the trigger but she would do what she had to do to make sure David did not hurt the people she loved. David had put his gun away when he pulled out his phone and when he turned and saw the gun trained on him he laughed out loud.

"So, you have a gun. Very amusing my love."

"Stay the hell away from me David or I swear to god I will shoot you where you stand."

David opened his arms with a cocky smile, and lifted his chin. "Go ahead my love, shoot. I dare you."

Felicity's hand shook as she held the gun trained on him. Aiming it at someone and aiming it at a dummy were two completely different things. But she knew she had to keep David here. She had to stall until someone came to help. She just prayed that Roy could take care of himself.

Oliver and Slade drove toward the safe house. Their plan had worked perfectly and even though Roy had been an unwitting pawn, they had to keep him the dark or their plan would not have worked. They had decided to draw David out in the open and the only way they could do that was by letting him follow Roy.

Unfortunately, they had not planned on him having so many men in his employ and they had spent the last hour getting rid of them one by one by one. His men had been able to get to the guards at the property but Oliver and Slade had come up swiftly from behind and dispatched of his men. When David had called his driver earlier, the driver had been tied up with a gun to his head, care of Oliver Queen, and had said exactly what Slade had told him to say.
