Re: Inside the Building
Merlyn hears the gunman and his brother, and lets out a deep breath. Either Keith will stop this, or he won't. Either Robert will die right now, or he won't.

When he hears the gun fire, but feels no bullet, he understands that his brother has saved his life once again. However, he also hears Green Arrow's next words and a sadness enters Robert's heart.

Time seems to slow down as Merlyn watches the Councilman's eyes drift a fraction of an inch away from him.

For, at this moment, Green Arrow has chosen to be true to the principles their father taught him. He's going to accept whatever punishment comes his way for killing the Artist, no matter what that means for his life. It also means that, eventually, Damien will come after Keith for disobeying him and that means that Keith, Conner, Lian, Oliver will all be killed by the League of Assassins. They will all die, unless /someone/ makes the only choice left to make.

I'm sorry, Jane. Looks like I'm not coming home after all. Robert thinks to himself sadly.

And then Robert Queen stays true to the principles his mother taught him as a boy.

There are those who bring life, and those who deal death. You are the latter and never confuse yourself that you are the former, my son.

Merlyn uses the distraction to fire his arrow directly between Vontrell Griffin III's eyes, in the same manner that Keith killed the Artist.

Vontrell Griffin III dies instantly, the force of the shot throwing him backward over his ornate desk, his body twitching even though his mind is already dead.
