Author: dieastra
Beta: Many thanks to tardisjournal, especially since she hasn't seen that episode yet - hurry up!
Rating: T
Characters: Thea Queen, Malcolm Merlyn
Word Count: 852
Spoilers: the finale of the second season
Notes: I asked myself what happened in between the two scenes with Thea

Summary: How exactly does one contact someone that doesn't want to be found?

Missing scene about the finale of season 2 - beware, spoilers! I just wondered how Malcolm knew where to pick up Thea.

<----<<< <----<<< <----<<<


I need to hurry. Roy will be back soon and then we can finally leave Starling city forever. I can’t wait to get out of here. Too much has happened that I want to forget. I’m not even looking at the things I throw into his suitcase, I grab whatever I can find. But suddenly the world comes to a stop. There is a bow and arrows. They were hidden, apparently I was not supposed to see them. Despite him swearing he would never fight again.

Just one more betrayal. And I really had thought Roy would be different than my family. Liars, they all are liars. I don’t want to see any of them again. Malcolm Merlyn was right after all. He’s the only one that never lied to me. Aside from not telling me about the whole father business, of course. But I’m sure he would have if he had known. Surely he only found out recently. I can ask him when I see him.

I need to find him.

Blindly, I run out into the street, but there is a little problem: he hasn’t exactly left me a phone number. How the hell am I supposed to find him in this city, where madness waits around every corner?

“Hey! Mr. Merlyn! Are you there?”

No answer. I told him not to follow me, and apparently he didn’t. Damn. At this precise moment I wished he hadn’t done what I wanted.
