Two days after a shooting in the Triangle, Angela Holt drives her Mercedes Benz to the small office in the gang-infested part of Star City. This place looks like a bigger dump than it did the last four times she's come here, but in order to get what she needed, she had to deal with Michelle Torres. Angela likes this idea as much as she likes the idea of a root canal, but if they're going to do this job, they're going to need someone who knows the lay of the land.

The other three operatives for this little shindig would get pulled together as quickly as she could manage, but starting with Floyd Lawton's kid was the easiest way to go. Only one of the remaining three would be a tough sell, if any. There wasn't a reason to think Merlyn would say no.

Getting out of the car, Angie straightens out her black pantsuit and runs a hand through her hair. She looked too much like her mother some days, minus the weight. Tucking her gun into the holster at the small of her back, Angie puts on her black coat and starts to close the car door, then stops.

"Wait, let's not be stupid." she says to herself, reaching into the glove compartment and with drawing the small sphere with an engraved "T" on the face. She sets the T-Sphere's parameters and lets it go. The little thing vanishes and Angie suddenly feels about thirty times safer than she did with just the gun. She closes the car door and then heads into the apartment building.

Approaching the door to the apartment, Angie knocks, readying the little document that substantiates her cover story.

Robert stiffens slightly, imperceptibly as Natasha speaks. She knew about Father and Mother.

And she knew about Oliver Queen. Goddamnit. Was she League or Interpol?

"You've done a little homework, it seems, Miss Irons. Still, it's nothing any determined soul with a few bucks couldn't find out. Impress me." Robert says.

"Currently staying with Jane Doe Smith, who to most people is a blank slate...but we know better."

"Tell Mr. Queen, do you truly care about this woman?"

That nearly got the knife placed against her throat again, but Robert held himself in check.

"Don't you dare threaten Jane." Robert says darkly.

"I'm not threatening her," Natasha said. "But there are people out there that will. People that know more about her than you, and will use that to their advantage.

Do you want to keep her safe?"

Robert took a deep breath. If this woman isn't lying, then he needs to get Jane out of town and somewhere safe. Or he needs to find Mia and make sure she watches over her.

And he needs to find out who is after her and make sure they learn why it's a bad idea to come after her.

"Yes, I do. Who are these people and where do I find them?" Robert asks.

"You help me and my associates, and not only do you get a big fat paycheck, but you also get to know who these people are, where to find them, and she'll be kept safe.

And you won't have to worry about being a fugitive from the law, either."

"All right, let's say I'm in. I need two other things. The first one is the materials for a new bow and some arrows." he says. That psycho in Central City took his and he means to rectify that, eventually.

"Secondly...Arthur King was the last man to call himself Merlyn. Somewhere along the line, he had a child, a daughter. I want information on any relatives he might have had and their names. His crazy daughter tried to kill me five months ago, and she thinks she succeeded.

I take it poorly when people try to murder me and don't get the job done." he smiles, the expression not unlike that of a shark.

Natasha nodded. "Both can be done," she said. They had extensive files on the League of Assassins and their members, though their plant went missing a short time ago.

"I'm also going to need twenty-four hours before I can leave here. I need to talk to Jane and give her a story for where I'm going, since she'd volunteer to go if she thought something was wrong." Robert says.

"Where can I contact you?" he asks.

"You need to be in Star City in two days. Travel arrangements have already made. You'll be flying in under Steve Barton."

She handed him a small card. "You'll meet me and who else you'll be working with at this address."

"Steve Barton?" Robert asks, raising an eyebrow. Was that the best name she could come up with on short notice?

"I don't really look like a Steve." Robert grouses. "But I'll be in Star City in two days. It leaves me time to tie up some loose ends." he says.

He was suddenly excited about the prospect of seeing his birth father's city, though he didn't know why.

"Take it...or risk getting arrested. Your choice," Natasha said.

"I'll see you in two days, Mr. Queen." She left him.
