Fitz sat at his desk in his office in Vermont staring back at the project he needed to finish for his library. Personally he would have had a museum or a park but a library was good too. The sun shined in through the open curtains in the office.

"Dad!" Teddy came running into the office.

"Hey bud, what's the big hurry? We aren't leaving for a few more hours."

Teddy walked up to the desk looking at the sketch of the library. "I think this will be a great place, dad. Josh sent me to tell you there's someone here for you. He needs you to let him know if he can let him in the gate."

"Cyrus can always come in."

"It's not Cy, dad. Someone named Parker. Josh said he's never seen him before but that he is insisting on talking to you."

Fitz got up, grabbing a book and went to the front door meeting Josh on the porch. "Sir, the boy insisted on talking to you."

"That's fine, but tell him I'm not accepting visitors today. I'll sign a book for him though."

Fitz opened the book and signed it to Parker.

Josh took the book and went down the driveway. "I'm sorry son, he's not accepting visitors today. He did ask me to give this to you. Have a good day."

"Look, I'm not visiting. I need to talk to him. Fitzgerald Grant has to talk to me. You have to let me see him!" Parker yelled.

"That's not going to be possible. He's getting ready to go to the opening of the library. You need to leave."

"I'm not leaving until I talk to him!"

"Listen, I'm not arguing with you. You need to go before we're forced to make you go."

Reluctantly, Parker took his book and headed back to his car at the edge of the road. Josh took his spot at the front door again waiting for Fitz to be ready to go.

After a few hours Fitz walked out to the car with Teddy behind him. The fourteen-year-old was not too happy to be going out to a library opening but was glad to do it for his dad.

Josh opened the door when they arrived at the library letting them out. The street around the library was blocked off and filled with hundreds of people awaiting the opening. Fitz shook hands with the mayor and walked up the steps. He took the scissors and held them with Teddy after giving his speech and together they cut the ribbon.

At the front row of the sidewalk, Parker stood watching them. He needed to talk to Fitz soon. He had information that he needed to have verified. Parker had been trying to find Fitz for a year and a half. Vermont was the last place he would have thought to find a former president but that's where he found him.

The long day was exhausting for Fitz but more for Teddy. When the opening was finally over and they were able to go home, Fitz managed to get Teddy to wake up enough to get to bed. Fitz took a glass of Scotch and went into the living room. Just as he sat down he could hear the yells from outside.

"Get on the ground!" Josh screamed. Fitz went to the window and looked out seeing what was going on. Josh and David had their guns out pointed at a boy who managed to get past the gate. "ON THE GROUND!" Fitz watched the boy put his hands up and kneel down on the ground.

"I swear I just need to talk to the president," the boy told them. "I'm unarmed!"

Fitz opened the door and stepped outside. "David, Josh, put the guns down. Pat him down and let's see what this is about."

The agents did what Fitz said and checked him for any weapons.

"How did you get past the gate?" Fitz asked stepping off the porch.

"Picked the lock. Sir, I swear I'm not here to harm you or your son at all. I just have some information I need you to verify."

"Well this seems very important to you to break the law and nearly get shot by my agents. I hope this is worth it to you."

"Very sir."

Fitz ushered him to come into the house and sit down.

"If you were an invited guest I'd ask if you'd want something to drink but since you kind of broke in, it doesn't seem appropriate. Let's get this done so I can move on to bed. What's your name?"

"Parker, sir. Parker Stanton."

"What exactly can I verify for you Parker?" Parker pulled out an envelope from his backpack and handed it to him. Fitz opened it and read through it. "Where did you get this?"
