Carrie had been shot by the vigilante, but the mayor had been the target. The vigilante was clearly getting out of control, so the mayor had hired TYGER, a private military company. Their goal was to hunt and eliminate the Hood for the sake of the city.
Thea wasn't sure what to make of it, but that didn't matter. What mattered now was going to go and visit Carrie with Oliver. Thea had insisted on going with him, even if traffic was being bogged down by TYGER forces and travel was a bit of a pain now. But hopefully this would all be over soon.

Felicity was running every analysis she could to find out who was responsible for this. One thing Ollie did know; he didn't shoot Carrie, or shoot at the mayor. He had no reason to.
Thea had practically forced him to bring her along to visit Carrie, but Ollie was out for a slightly different purpose. He wanted to analyze TYGER, see how they moved, acted, how they went about searching for him. If it was him they were after, which all signs pointed to.

"What, you have something to be worried about with all these armed guys around?" Thea questioned him, noticing how he looked at TYGER. Sure, they were a sight, but they weren't that interesting...

"They are the ones worrying me. Why being in all this firepower, to bring down one guy with a bow?" Ollie asked. He actually found it rather flattering they considered this the necessary measure to take to hunt him down, but didn't let it show on his face.

"He's taken down guys with guns before," Thea said, "As long as it keeps us safe. Why would the vigilante shoot Carrie?" she questioned, "She's innocent! Even if he was aiming for the mayor, he's a good enough shot that she shouldn't have been hit. The sooner he's taken care of, the better."

"Sure, he can take out guys with guns. Does that really warrant this? This is like bringing a tank to a knife fight." Ollie said, gesturing at the TYGER troops.

"As long as it keeps us safe," she said.
As they continued walking, a man in a TYGER uniform walked onto the sidewalk ahead of them, about a dozen yards, just standing there.

"That argument is way too broad. You could justify anything by saying it keeps us safe." Ollie pointed out, noticing the TYGER soldier.

"I wonder what this guy's doing," Thea said.
As they approached, the man would likely look familiar to Oliver. Except now he bore an eyepatch over his right eye.
"Been a while, Queen," Slade told him.

Ollie put an arm between his sister and Slade. "I was wondering what had happened to you after the island."

"The island?" Thea questioned, "Ollie, who is this guy?"
Slade laughed and tossed his gun to another TYGER. He drew one of the twin swords from his back and walked towards Oliver, "Time to settle some old business..."

"Thea, run." Ollie said. He wasn't armed, but if he moved quickly enough, he might be able to take Slade's other sword. Then he might stand a chance.

She wanted to argue, but didn't. She looked around; why weren't the TYGERs doing something? Fuck it. She ran, but looked back.
Slade rushed for Oliver, swinging his sword in from low, for the man's side.

Ollie tried to hit Slade in the wrist with one hand, reaching for his other sword with the other hand.

Slade twisted and went low for a sweep kick, twisting to keep Oliver's hand away from his blade.
