angelskuuipo for being the best sounding board and hand holder I could ask for. You really helped me when I was struggling with re-writing some of these chapters and this story wouldn't be what it is without your help. Thanks also to

Chapter 6
Author's Note: Takes place during 1x23 (Sacrifice). Some dialogue borrowed from episode.
Felicity had to go into work, so it was Tommy who convinced Digg to get on the road sooner rather than later, guiding him to Oliver's destination using Felicity's tracking software. Digg was only about a half hour behind them.
Tommy could hear gunshots over the comm and prayed that they were all coming from Digg. He trusted that Digg would shoot to disable and not to kill. Finally he heard Digg say, "I take back every joke I made about you sticking a tracking device in your boot."
Digg must have given Oliver the comm Tommy had insisted he take with him because a moment later he heard Oliver loud and clear in his ear.
"I figured something like this would happen sooner or later," Oliver grunted. There were loud sounds of metal scraping against metal and then a swoosh and clang, like metal chains being dropped on the ground. Tommy guessed that Digg was helping him to get out of the warehouse they'd tracked Oliver to.
"Are you alright?" Tommy asked; his knuckles white on the desktop before him.
"Tommy," Oliver sighed. "I'm a little bruised, but I'll be fine."
