Arrow to the Heart {1}

Chapter 22

Lydia's in the bunker at the computer with a bunch of pictures of Moira, when Diggle says, "I've been watching your mother for days now, Oliver and nothing. She goes to work, she comes home. Occasionally, she goes out to dinner. She seems to particularly like the salmon tartare at Table Salt." Lydia says, "I'm linked into her home and office phone. Nothing out of the ordinary. No mention of Walter's abduction or the Undertaking. Just a few innocuous calls to Malcom Merlyn." Oliver says, "Why wouldn't she call him? They're old friends. We're all old friends." Lydia looks at Oliver with a soft expression and she softly says, "Are you okay?" Oliver says, "My mom and our best friend's dad are involved in a conspiracy that may have dire consequences for the city and I'm pretty sure they murdered my father I'm not planning on using the word "okay" again any time soon." Diggle says, "Listen, all we know for sure is that Malcom and your mother are planning something for the Glades." Lydia says, "And that Walter and I were getting too close to it that's why they had him kidnapped." Diggle says, "We have to find out what this Undertaking is." Oliver says, "I got to ask her." Lydia says, "I don't think that's a good idea. The last time the Vigilante paid your mom a visit, you got shot." Oliver says, "This time it'll just be me asking. Friendly mother-son chat." Oliver walks away.
