"You sure this is the place?" Emiko asked as she and Oliver entered the apartment Winn had directed them to.

"Pretty sure. Winn tracked the bullet I recovered from the fire to rifle and then eventually to the buyer. I've learned to just call him a genius and move on." Oliver and Emiko nodded.

"Thank you for calling me with this." Emiko said.

"Of course. It's your mother who was almost murdered, only right you get to help us find out by who." Oliver said and Emiko nodded.

"I'll check upstairs, you search down here." Oliver said and Emiko nodded as she walked over the dresser and after shuffling through the drawers, she found a hidden compartment with the rifle that was used to try and kill her mother.

"Oliver, I found." Emiko said as a man who was familiar to her interrupted her.

"Nothing!" the man said.

"You." Emiko said angrily as the man moved to attack her, only to be shot in the shoulder as Green Arrow appeared.

"You think an arrow is gonna stop me?" The man asked.

"I think a tranq arrow will." Green Arrow said as the man fell over.

"Do you know him?" Green Arrow asked his sister.

"He's called Bear and he's one of the Longbow Hunters." Emiko said.

"Longbow Hunters. I thought they were extinct." Oliver said.

"Trust me, they're not. The Ninth Circle has been using them for centuries." Emiko said.

"Then what are they doing wrapped up in your mother's attempted murder." Oliver asked.

"Let's find out." Emiko growled.

When Bear came to, he found himself strapped to a chair and the Green Arrow and Emiko standing over him.

"Who hired you to kill Kazumi Adachi?" Green Arrow asked.

"Kazumi who?" Bear asked.

"Wrong answer." Emiko snarled as she punched him.

"You should know that I'm the only reason Emiko hasn't killed you yet. I can always change my mind. How do you want this to go?" Green Arrow asked.

"You guys can chop off all 10 of my fingers, and it won't matter. I have no idea who hired me. They never contacted me directly." Bear said.

"Then how'd they offer you the job?" Emiko asked.

"They directed me to a drop-off location. Once I got there, found a coin." Bear said.

"Was it an Italian florin?" Emiko asked as she started to get an idea on who was responsible for this.

"No idea. All I know is that it was old. There was a microchip inside, instructions to get my weapon, the target. Once the job was completed, they wired my payment from a bank account in Switzerland." Bear said and Emiko snarled.

"You better be telling the truth or I'll kill you." Emiko said as she barged out with Green Arrow quickly following her.

"Emiko, you know who did this?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah I do. His name is Dante and he was more of a father to me than Robert ever was. He's the one who got me into the Ninth Circle." Emiko said.

"Why would he try to have your mother killed?" Oliver asked.

"I don't know but Oliver we are going to find out and then we are going burn the ninth circle to the ground. I'll turn over everything I know about them to Argus and considering I used to lead them, that is everything." Emiko said.

"You're really trying to redeem yourself." Oliver said, impressed.

"Maybe I wasn't a Queen before, but maybe I can be one now." Emiko said.

"As far as I'm concerned, you already are one." Oliver said and Emiko actually smiled at her brother as they climbed into the van and headed out.
