"So, how many times have you tried to get the eye?" Laurel asked Blackbeard.

"Too many to count. Every time I try I get a bit closer, but at this point, none of me own crew are willing to make the trip." Blackbeard said.

"How dangerous of a situation have we gotten ourselves into?" Laurel asked.

"For a crew that was bold and talented enough to navigate their way through the Devil's triangle, I doubt it's anything you cannot handle." Blackbeard said.

"I want to apologize for locking you in your ship's brig." Laurel said and Blackbeard looked surprised.

"Really." Blackbeard asked.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's just, I have a lot riding on getting that emerald necklace and I got desperate." Laurel said.

"Really, what might that be?" Blackbeard asked, only to have Laurel raise her sword.

"That's none of your business. Just know it means more to me than any jewel could." Laurel said and Blackbeard wisely nodded, since while he was starting to think that Laurel wasn't exactly the pirate she had everyone believing she was, she was still not to be trifled with. Not yet anyways.

"I really hope Oliver and Laurel get back soon." Thea said to Roy as they entered the precinct.

"Hey, they've only been gone for about a week." Roy said, since while it seemed much longer to Oliver and Laurel, thanks to time travel, they'd only been gone a week to those in the present.

Anyways, at that moment, Quentin came into the precinct he was on a bit of a warpath.

"Alright everyone, we got a live one." Quentin said.

"What's going on boss?" Thea asked as she grabbed her coffee.

"Last night, several members of the los halcones syndicate were found dead last night." Quentin said.

"Do we know what caused it?" Roy asked as the police report was passed around.

"The bodies had bullet wounds, but there were no shells found at the scene." Quentin said as their CSI Cassie walked up to them.

"Autopsy revealed traces of an unidentified substance, which caused a chemical reaction with the blood that resulted in tox." Cassie began, only to have Thea interrupt.

"So in simple terms, their skin melting off." Thea said.

"The proper term is toxic epidermal necrolysis." Cassie said.

"But, basically, yes." Quentin said.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I don't any of the cops here majored in chemistry, so how exactly would they know what she's talking about." Thea asked as Cassie glared at her.

"Ok, how can a bullet just disappear?" Roy asked, getting them back on track.

"There have been rumors of a new weapon making its rounds on the street." Officer Bingsley said.

"Toxicology is working up labs now. We should have a better idea of what's going on in the next few hours." Cassie said.

"In the meantime, let's talk about suspects." Quentin said.

"Well, according to some of my street contacts, there's a new crew in town, the Blackout Gang. They've quickly become a big rival to the Los Halcones." Roy said.

"So we're looking at a gang war?" Quentin asked.

"Looks that way." Roy said.

"Okay then, I want everyone working their contacts. Now get to work." Quentin said as everyone dispersed, though Quentin held Roy and Thea back.

"I'm guessing that your team is also on this?" Quentin asked and Thea nodded.

"I'll Winn on it now." Thea said.

"Good. Not that I don't have faith in you guys, but any idea when Oliver and Laurel are getting back?" Quentin asked.

"Not until Jasmine is safe." Thea said and Quentin nodded, since he'd been brought up to speed on everything.

"Carry on then." Quentin said as he let them walk out.

"I don't believe it. I think we have finally found it." Blackbeard said as he, Laurel, Mari, Ray and Nate finally reached the point where his map said the treasure was buried.

"The jewel better be worth it." Nate said, since it was only due to his, Laurel and Mari's abilities that they'd survived the path, though they intended to wipe that part of Blackbeard's memory once all this was over.

"Get digging." Laurel said to her crew, who nodded as they began digging until finally, they found the chest.

"At long last, the eye of the sea will be mine." Blackbeard said as he began rummaging through the treasure until he found a smaller chest and opened it to reveal the eye of the sea jewel.

However, before he could grab it, Laurel did.

"What are you doing? We had a deal!" Blackbeard shouted.

"Call it an insurance policy. You'll get your eye when I get my emerald." Laurel said and Blackbeard glared at her.

"You dare." Blackbeard said.

"Might I remind you that you're outnumbered and I will gladly turn you into the british crown if you don't back down." Laurel said.

"Fine, I suppose you really are a pirate, since that is smart." Blackbeard grudgingly admitted.

"Once I'm certain that you'll uphold your end of the bargain, I will gladly give this to you. But until then, tell me, where is the emerald necklace?" Laurel demanded as she then held her sword to Blackbeard's throat.

"I buried my treasure, including that trinket, on Grace Island." Blackbeard relented.

"Then I guess that's where we're going next. Once we get that necklace, I'll give you the eye." Laurel said and Blackbeard sighed, but nodded.
