The Quinn family's company building was quite large, and the main office was at the top of a high-rise. So it was impossible for me to get there, and the only way I could use was to take the elevator, or the stairs, like all normal people. But of course I didn't do that, it wasn't time yet. First I had to wait until the building was cleared and all the passages were free. Arrow and Canary would do all the work for me.

So I positioned myself on the roof of a building nearby, from where the windows of the top floor of Quinn's main office were clearly visible. I remembered exactly that those windows would be broken by the incoming league of assassins who would help in the battle against Slade. Once they're done there, they won't even bother with security. As I recall they'll just give everyone the serum and Talia will kill Slade's girlfriend. So once they're gone, it'll be a very good opportunity to survey the building and look for the item I need.

And after almost an hour of waiting, it happened. Several people in black clothes jumped down from the roof using some black cloth for support, smashed the windows and broke into the main office of the company. I watched the situation quietly sitting on the roof, eating salted peanuts. Although I won't get full of them, they taste pretty good. So I could keep myself busy eating all sorts of food, but I doubt I'd get fat.

I didn't even need binoculars to observe the situation up there, my current eyesight was pretty sharp, so I could see everything without a problem as it was.

The fight wasn't very long, but it was pretty intense, and to my delight I could see everything clearly and didn't miss a thing. And then the fight was over, Detstroke jumped out the window and ran down the cable, if I had calculated it right, in about ten minutes the building would be free.

«Shit, Oliver, get back, I can't see a damn thing. - I said grudgingly. Arrow was standing right by the window, blocking my view. I wanted to see the whole situation.

These guys were in no hurry to leave, which I didn't expect, I guess I forgot something.....

Hmm, yeah, now I see.

After about ten minutes, Lance and Felicity came into the office, talked about something, and the policeman left, nervous. Then Oliver and Felicity chatted about something and left. I wish I had super hearing, it's so boring to watch.

Uh, okay, well, let's get going.

I got up from my seat and started down the fire escape to the bottom of the stairs. There wasn't much time, I'd be able to take one or two banks at most and then I'd have to leave, and that was at best. Pretty soon the battle with the Mirakuru warriors would be over and then my time would be up.

***

After taking the elevator, which by the way worked without any problems, I found myself in the main office of Queen Consolidation.

Yeah, there's no security, it's like no one even cares about this company. Oh, Oliver, that's why you lost her.

The office was in disrepair, it was obvious that there had been some kind of massacre, but Oliver should have taken care of the tempered glass a long time ago, at least his company had.

I made my way into the building and began to survey all the desks....

«Hmm, not that. Not that... - I rummaged through the desk that once belonged to the head of the company and couldn't find anything.

«Hmm, oh, here it is! - I did find a black box in the desk drawer, and in it was a white cylindrical object. It had a couple buttons on it and nothing else, but I think that's it, it looked about the same in canon.

I quickly picked up the box and key, then headed back to the elevator, on my way out.

Well, luck's on my side, although the fact that the key was here is to be expected. Where else would Slade have put it? I can't carry it around with me, and it's stupid to throw it away. Okay, now it's time for part two of the plan.

***

I had the key, so I went straight to the nearest bank. Of course, I'd mapped out the banks and Starling's escape routes long ago, so I'd try to make it quick.

When I arrived at the bank building, I saw the expected picture. The whole building was smashed, and it was clear that someone had already been here before me and made a real massacre. There was debris everywhere, several dead bodies of police officers and civilians. Slade's men were gone, probably the Boss had summoned them all to fight in the tunnel where Oliver and the League had gone. I'm better off with no one in the way, there weren't even any people near the bank, it was like they were extinct.

I easily got into the building and headed for the vault, there were several dead bodies of guards and employees inside the bank. I was used to the corpses, so I didn't pay attention to them, I went to the main door of the vault, took out the "key to all doors" and leaned it against the code lock of the vault. Then I pressed the green button on the key and there was a sound....

*♪ Beep ♪ ♪ Tinkle ♪

The electronic lock was opened in just a couple of seconds. I swung the vault door open and smiled happily. Yeah, money...

He took one of the bags he had brought and quickly stuffed it full of goodies, then filled two more in the same way. Then he slung one bag on his shoulder and took the others in his hands and started to leave. This will be enough, now it's time to leave. There's at least a few million here, one more bank and I'll have enough for my future expenses.

As I left the building, I threw all my bags into the van and was about to take off when I noticed a few people looking at me with strange looks.

Apparently some goons, now was not the time to engage in nonsense, so I jumped in the van and started to drive away.

Then I did a similar operation with another bank and took out three bags of money as well. But I was a bit interrupted by a gang of bandits who wanted to rob this very bank, but to their failure they were killed by me. It's a pity I'm in a hurry, I would have eaten them, but it's a pity to waste their marrow.

When the van was filled with several bags of money, I finally relaxed and drove to one of Starling City's exits. It wasn't going to be long before Detstroke was dead, and so were his guys under the mirakuru. I wish I could have gotten a sample of their blood, maybe I could have used it. Not for myself, of course, but just for science, as this serum is quite rare.

The machine Slade stole from Star Labs, I'm not taking it back, if I need it, I'll find a new one somewhere. I don't know how to use it anyway, so it's useless to me now.
