Chapter 20
Roy was currently sitting in his cell on Level Two when the guards came in.
"Time to go inmate." one of the guards said.
"Go where?" Roy asked.
"This whole place is getting shut down. You're being sent back to Level One." the guard said and Roy sighed in relief as he let the escort him back up to his old cell.
Oliver, Laurel and Thea were now watching the news in Oliver's office regarding the information Felicity had received about Slabside last night.
"Despite official denials of the allegation of prisoner abuse at Slabside penitentiary, documents provided by SCPD detailing the cruel and unusual practices of Dr. Jarrett Parker, a suspect in the cold case death of Robert Goodman, appear to connect the controversial therapist to the prison, bringing those denials into question." Bethany Snow said on the news.
"Whoo! Score one for Team Arrow." Thea said, relieved.
"Any ideas on who we have to have to thank for this little gem?" Laurel asked, holding up a drive that Felicity had given her.
"Don't know, don't care. All I care about is that Roy is back sleeping soundly in his regular maximum security prison cell with no evil scientists trying to fry his brain." Thea said.
"This, plus what you got from the records room, is enough to earn Dr. Parker his own cozy little prison cell." Laurel assured her.
"He won't get the chance to enter a prison cell. Once he leaves Slabside, he's ours." Oliver said calmly, though that honestly scared both women more, since that just meant he was furious.
"No arguments here. He's evaded prison more than once." Thea said.
"Speaking of cells, the whole light on Level two thing means that Slabside's got a real PR nightmare on their hands right now. What if we could use that for more than just shutting down Level Two?" Laurel said.
"We can use that info to get Roy out of prison." Oliver realized.
"Completely free and clear. No more running, he's free to come home." Laurel said.
"Do you think you can manage that?" Thea asked Laurel hopefully.
"I can't make any promises, but at the very least, even if I can't get him out now, I can get his sentence reduced drastically." Laurel promised.
"Thank you Laurel." Thea said gratefully as they continued watching the news.
Later on that night, Dr. Parker was on his way from the prison, trying to figure out where he was going next when suddenly, his car veered off course.
"What the?" Parker asked as he tried to steer back on the road, but wheel turned against him and Parker turned to the screen of his car to see that the radio was off and the only on it was an image of some sort of weird eye before suddenly, his car went dead on the side of an empty road.
Here's what the eye looked like:
"What's going on here?" Parker asked when suddenly, a hand smashed through his car window, grabbed him and tossed him out of the car.
When he got up, Parker saw that he was surrounded by the Green Arrow, Spartan, Speedy and that new vigilante who'd replaced the Black Canary, Khione and they were all glaring down at him.
"Jarrett Parker, you have failed this country." Green Arrow said angrily.
"What are you talking about? Parker demanded, though he was honestly terrified, since when his work had been revealed, he knew there would be repercussions, but he didn't expect the Star City vigilantes.
"You took an oath to help people when you got your doctorate." Speedy growled.
"I was helping people." Parker tried to reason, but Speedy just punched him.
"Be quiet." Speedy said.
"You call erasing people's memories helping them. You're even more twisted than any of your patients, since at least they acknowledged there was something wrong with them." Spartan said.
"You tortured people, made them forget who they are, simply because you felt it was right. Nothing about what you were doing was right. It was criminal. We saw the records, most of the patients you put under your procedure died. That makes you a murderer." Khione said as Parker began to tremble with fear as Spartan walked up to him and locked something around his wrist.
"We understand you're familiar with this little device." Green Arrow said as Parker saw it was one of his own shock bracelets.
"Let's see how you like it." Speedy said as she turned it on, causing Parker to feel excruciating pain.
"Feeling a relapse doctor?" Khione asked.
"Well, here's your cure." Green Arrow said as he pulled out an arrow and Parker realized what was about to happen.
"Please, don't do it, I'll give you anything you want." Parker begged, but his begging was cut short when Green Arrow let his arrow fly right into Parker's heart.
"That was for Roy." Speedy said smugly as they watched Parker die before Green Arrow removed his arrow and they all left the scene.
"Overwatch, inform the SCPD of Dr. Parker's passing. And thank you for the new arrow that's designed to look like bullet." Green Arrow said, since that way no one would realize that it had been the vigilantes who killed Parker.
"Copy that." Overwatch said over the comms and they could tell she felt just as pleased about this turn of events as they did.
