章節 14: Arrow ~ Tribute ~ Part Three
***
Oliver stepped out of the elevator and frowned when he saw Rene in the hall. "What are you doing here?"
"Working, obviously," Rene answered. "What are doing here?"
"Felicity and Curtis are working on locating Tarkov," Oliver answered. "He has maybe an hour left."
"So why aren't you home with William?" Rene asked, stopping when Oliver gave him a look of disbelief. "Sorry if I hit a nerve."
"When have you ever been sorry about hitting a nerve?" Oliver asked as he walked into his office.
"That's a fair point," Rene conceded, biting his lip. "Speaking of William . . . "
"Yeah?" Oliver looked up.
"We received a person of interest list from Agent Watson."
Oliver looked at Rene blankly. "She wants to interrogate my son?"
"He's an alibi, and probably not a very good liar," Rene confirmed.
"Absolutely not!" Oliver denied, shaking his head. "She's not going anywhere near him!"
"I don't think that's up to you," Rene shook his head back.
"I'm gonna use every single thing in my power to keep him as far away from this as possible!" Oliver took a few deep breaths to calm himself, then said, "this kid has been through enough."
"All right," Rene nodded. "Lance told me about what happened at school. Kids are mean."
"He's not worried about bullies," Oliver sighed. "He's worried about He thinks I'm gonna make him an orphan."
"Damn," Rene whistled lowly.
"I told him, I said, that will not happen," Oliver continued. "I will always come back." He shook his head. "I have never lied to my kid before."
"You know, I'm not exactly father of the year," Rene told him. "But white lies are kind of like an important parental tool. I remember telling Zoe that she came from a cloud. I really hope her mom set her straight on that one."
"So help me with this," Oliver looked at him. "How do I reconcile that he's right? Because every time that I'm in the field, there's a chance I don't come back and that he's alone, and now you're telling me that he's gonna have to lie to an FBI agent so that he doesn't lose his father to prison?"
Rene didn't have anything to say to that. Oliver sighed in annoyance, then took his phone out when it buzzed. The moment he saw the text on screen, he straightened. "We have Anatoli's location."
"All right, you go out the back entrance, I'll lose them," Rene stood up.
"Rene, are you good to get back in the field?" Oliver asked.
"Hells, yeah," he grinned.
"All right," Oliver nodded, and the two of them left.

"Team's in position," Dig announced as Oliver walked up.
"You sure this is the place?" Oliver asked.
"Whoa, I am insulted right now!" Felicity exclaimed.
"Easy," Oliver warned. "It's just that an abandoned shipyard doesn't feel like Anatoli's speed."
"Yeah, well, neither does being a complete jerk. People change. The problem is this is place is massive, so I can't pinpoint the location of the hostage even with satellite."
"And there's a lot of people here," Kara added as she floated down. "But I'll keep looking."
"What're you doing here?" Oliver asked in surprise. "Not that it's not good to see you, but – "
"I'm making sure you get back to your boy," Kara answered with a smirk. "Got a problem with that?"
"None at all," Oliver smiled widely.
"You two really cute," Laurel remarked from the other end of the comms.
"Figure we'll split up," Dig said, holding out two syringes of the antidote. "I distributed the antidote so whoever gets to Tarkov first can inject him."
The two took their syringes, then Oliver asked, "You OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Dig nodded. "Let's do this."

"If one of us spots Tarkov, we should have a signal," Curtis said as he and Rene moved through shipping containers.
"Yeah, I was gonna go with something like 'I see him' or maybe even 'hey, over there!'" Rene scoffed, gun raised.
"It's not terribly original, but effective," Curtis nodded. "What about if we spot the Bratva?"
"How about heads up?" Rene suggested.
They moved around a shipping container, and Curtis straightened. "Heads up!"
They ducked around the corner as the Bratva members opened fire. Dig and Dinah jumped down to engage them, Dinah screaming at them as Dig ducked for cover. "You OK?" she asked.
"Look out!" Dig pointed.
Dinah gasped when one of the Bratva members wrapped his arm around her throat, dropping her bo staff to try and get him off her. Dig drew his gun, swallowing when his aim wavered, not able to aim straight.
Blue-white beams hit the Bratva member, and Dinah flung him off her as Kara landed on the ground. "You OK?" she asked Dinah.
"Yeah," Dinah nodded, giving Dig a quick glare. "I'm fine."

Oliver left Curtis and Rene to deal with the remaining Bratva, heading further into the docks. "Right around the corner, Green Arrow," Kara suddenly said.
Oliver brought his bow up to bear as he came around the corner and came face to face with Anatoli, Tarkov limp in a chair next to him. "I asked for twenty million specifically because I knew you had it," Anatoli stated. "You trade this man's life for new police station?"
"Not exactly," Oliver shook his head, firing the arrow he had into Tarkov's shoulder.
Anatoli blinked, then chuckled. "I do not think you understand how this whole rescue thing works."
"No, I think I do," Oliver smirked, nodding at Tarkov.
Anatoli examined Tarkov, watching him start to breathe easier. "Some sort of antidote," he said bitterly. "Very clever."
"Now step away from him, Anatoli," Oliver ordered. "He's not part of this."
"I him part of this," Anatoli glared.
Wind whipped through the room, and Anatoli grunted in pain, clutching his now broken hand, and Oliver found himself with a gun at his feet. Oliver balked at the idea of Anatoli about to shoot the Markovian, then looked up. "What the hell has happened to you? Not even Gregor would have done that!"
