《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 104

"Wow, when you said you had a lot of evidence against Brick, you weren't kidding." Sara said as she looked over the mountain of evidence her father had brought to the bunker.
"Yeah well, like I said, we got plenty of stuff against Brick, just nothing that we can make stick." Quentin said as they went through everything he'd brought.
"Any ideas on what we're looking for now?" Thea asked.
"Just grasping at straws, trying to see if there's any kind of connection that can lead us to where Brick is holed up. We need to find him before he makes his next move." Roy said.
"Well, I think I might have an idea." Winn said as he moved over to the computers.
"What are you doing?" Sara asked.
"Grasping at straws and I think it might have just paid off." Winn said.
"What do you mean?" Sara asked.
"What I mean is that apparently Brick hasn't gotten a new gun in twenty years, since after cross referencing the weapon used to shoot the guards outside the warehouse, it turns out the same gun was used in a shooting 20 years ago." Winn said.
"He's used the same gun for 20 years. That's either arrogance or stupidity." Roy said.
"Considering who the victim was, I'd say definitely stupidity." Winn said.
"Why, who was the victim?" Sara asked.
"Rebecca Merlyn. Brick killed Tommy's mother." Winn said.
"And in doing so, he inadvertently set everything else that's happened in this city into motion." Sara said.
"What are you talking about?" Quentin asked.
"You never told him?" Thea asked Sara.
"I didn't see any reason to until now." Sara said.
"Tell me what?" Quentin asked.
"The gambit going down was not an accident. It was sabotaged by Malcolm Merlyn. It's a long story that I will tell from the beginning so everyone understands, but can you please not interrupt me?" Sara asked and Quentin nodded, still reeling from the revelation that Merlyn had tried to kill his daughter.

"After Brick killed Rebecca Merlyn, Malcolm went into a deep depression and left for two years. He ended up in Nanda Parbat and joined the League of Assassins. When he eventually came back, he, Robert Queen and Frank Chang and a few others began trying to leverage the city's worst into doing what's best for the city. But eventually, Malcolm decided things were going too slow and he decided that the only way to save the Glades was to destroy it and start over from scratch. Robert was initially on board with the plan, but then his conscience caught up with him and he tried to not only back out, but also to sto Malcolm's plot. That's why the Gambit was going to China in the first place. But Malcolm got wind of it and put a bomb on the Gambit. It sent Oliver to Lian Yu and me to the League of Assassins. It set us onto the paths that led us to where we are today." Sara said.
"Son of a bitch. Well, at least Merlyn got what he deserved." Quentin said.
"True, but now there's another Merlyn that needs to be made aware of this." Sara said.
"Tommy." Thea said.
"He has a right to know and who knows, maybe he'll even send us some back up." Sara said.
"How would Tommy Merlyn be able to send you back up?" Quentin asked and Sara took a deep breath.
"Because Tommy is the new leader of the League of Assassins. It's a long story I'll tell you later, but he's an ally." Sara assured him.
"I hope so." Quentin said warily, not sure what to think of former playboy Tommy Merlyn being the leader of the most astonishing group of assassins in history

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
