Two days after a shooting in the Triangle, Angela Holt drives her Mercedes Benz to the small office in the gang-infested part of Star City. This place looks like a bigger dump than it did the last four times she's come here, but in order to get what she needed, she had to deal with Michelle Torres. Angela likes this idea as much as she likes the idea of a root canal, but if they're going to do this job, they're going to need someone who knows the lay of the land.

The other three operatives for this little shindig would get pulled together as quickly as she could manage, but starting with Floyd Lawton's kid was the easiest way to go. Only one of the remaining three would be a tough sell, if any. There wasn't a reason to think Merlyn would say no.

Getting out of the car, Angie straightens out her black pantsuit and runs a hand through her hair. She looked too much like her mother some days, minus the weight. Tucking her gun into the holster at the small of her back, Angie puts on her black coat and starts to close the car door, then stops.

"Wait, let's not be stupid." she says to herself, reaching into the glove compartment and with drawing the small sphere with an engraved "T" on the face. She sets the T-Sphere's parameters and lets it go. The little thing vanishes and Angie suddenly feels about thirty times safer than she did with just the gun. She closes the car door and then heads into the apartment building.

Approaching the door to the apartment, Angie knocks, readying the little document that substantiates her cover story.

Rose took the gun out of the holster, taking out the ammunition, putting it in the pocket on her bathrobe before handing the gun back to Angie.

"I'm listening," she said, taking the blade away from Angie's throat.

"Well, like I said, you'll be paid well. However, I'm aware that you've been discreetly looking for information on your mother, Lilian Worth.

You're not the only person looking for her, Rose...and the other people who are don't share your warm feelings on what to do when they find her." Angela says, taking a moment to collect herself.

"Working with me can get you that information, and get you a team of people who can help find your mother. Granted, you'll also be asked to help them with their own personal issues, but it could be a fair trade. All things considered."

"Are you telling me you know where my mother is?" Rose asked, intrigued.

She'd been looking for her for years since she found out that she might be alive. And this woman was telling her that she actually was?

"I'm telling you that we've come across information on where she is. Last possible sighting was two weeks ago in Istanbul." Angela says.

"And if I help you on this little chore that you want me to do, you'll help me find her?"

"I'll put all of my resources toward helping you find her and save her from the people who are after her, Miss Wilson. This is a limited-time offer, though. You're going to need to put in some work for an extended period, but you'll be compensated for it.

And if you make some friends among your teammates, they might even be willing to help you out, too." Angie says.

"This is serious business, Rose. Some of it could even get you killed."

"I'm used to life-threatening experiences, Miss Holt," Rose said.

"I'll take your offer...but I want you to promise me something else.

I want you to promise me that my father will never be able to contact her. Ever."

"I'm sure we can set up a variety of safeguards to ensure that doesn't happen. If nothing else, we can make it very prohibitive to try to locate her." Angela says.

"Then you've got me," Rose said. She didn't want her father ever coming into contact with her mother again, once she found her.

Because people connected with her father eventually ended up six feet under. Rose was just the lucky one that was still alive.

"You'll need to be in Star City in two days." Angela says, producing a manila envelope.

"Your travel arrangements are already take care of and your tickets list you as Aurora Winters. The address we'll be meeting in is contained there, too." she says.

"I'll leave you to the rest of your night, Miss Wilson." Angie says.

Rose nodded. "I'll see you then."
