"She’s going to kill you."
"She can’t kill me." Arlo was very confident.
"Don’t think too highly of yourself. I can read people, Arlo, and I know if River is serious about her target, she will be able to do it. She is the best assassin for a reason."

He let Arlo decide what was best in this situation.

However, what she found shook her to the core; she actually found drugs under his pillow. Carl was still in the bathroom, taking a bath.
"What do you mean with this!" Laurel lashed out the moment Carl stepped out of the bathroom.
