Liv and Fitz lie watching the triplets on camera. Ray and Chris were wrapping their sister KeLLI in toilet tissue. They all over come with laughter as Kelli danced around the nursery floor.

FITZ said, "We must save that footage." As he and Liv looked on with amusement.

LIV, said, "We can use it in a project I'm working on… I spoke with ADELE, and we don't have to change completely…Our Attorneys will have to go through the entire company books… to make sure there are no irregularities."

FITZ,"… and …?"

FITZ answered, "I like it…Edward and his buddy, were convicted…Edward conspiracy to murder, and his partner convicted with the actual killing of Adele's husband, plus other charges."

LIV, said, "Good… Will you look at our children… they're so curious."

FITZ, said, "We have to keep them curious, the way all kids should be and not have to worry about the necessities of life…Liv there was another police killing."

LIV, answered, "My thoughts exactly dear…Did they know what happened to cause the killings?"

FITZ replied, "Still a mystery…I had a call from one of my contacts… one of his friends need our help… he couldn't call for himself due to the danger for his family… He asks for an appointment at two o'clock in my office... my contact can be trusted. "

LIV said, "Pillar had the twins… now they are well on the way to the seven sons." Liv giggled.

FITZ said, "I could do that…"

"Not now we've dancing to do… I want to show

how we danced in school… A song Titled Begin the Beguine … has a Latin touch… really have to get your wiggle on."

The Speaker paused for effect.

THE NEWSCASTER continued, "Gales of laughter was heard from those attending the fundraiser…The Speakers statement was heard over an open microphone."

QUINN, surprised says, "Jake…?"

ABBY, says, "You grew a Robert Taylor mustache?!"

The MAN answered, "No I'm JASON BALLARD …Jake and I am first cousins. Our fathers are identical twins. We were born six weeks apart."

HUCK, asked. "Is that possible? You're identical."

JASON, answered as he reached into his pocket

and produced a case with pictures of two young boys and one of them as men…Jason said, "I grew a mustache to be recognized apart."

FITZ asked, "Are you my two o'clock?"

"Yes…I'm concerned about my family… One of my sons was abducted and brought back and thrown on my front lawn…" Jason reached in his briefcase for a bag with hair…"Then said, "My sons head was shaved and the notes with it read, and I quote,"THIS WILL BE his HEAD NEXT TIME…The police is not able to help me…Jake told me to talk with GRANT and ASSOCIATES." JASON concluded.

LIV, asked, "Did you bring the note everything that came with your son?"

"Do we have everything even the transcript of the police report…everything… can you make a guess as to why this is happening?"

JASON, said, "I'm CEO of TALL SHIPS, INC….and, Yes… that's all I have…can you help me?"

FITZ, said, "Tell us more about the business."

"When Jake joined the navy… I bought my first Tall Ship…now I have a fleet of ten… When I started to expand, I had offers to buy or accept new members."JASON paused, then said, "The business has been very lucrative…we allow people of means to work their vacations to learn all the working of the tall ship…the cost is one hundred thousand dollars a

week…we expanded several years ago to house

boats to allow those workers to rest and be pampered for as long as they want for an additional fifty thousand a week."

FITZ, said, "That's really an undertaking…I like it… we will do our best…give your information to Huck…

'then said, "I'm sorry I didn't introduce everybody… You look so much like Jake I assumed you know everybody…All of you introduces yourself."

They all introduced themselves. Jason acknowledged them, and said, "I must go my wife is frightened especially for our children."

QUINN, asked,"How is Jake?"

ABBY, said, "Where is Jake?"

Jason, replied, "Jake went mountain climbing on Mount Whitney… he is presumed dead…All found at his camp site is lots of blood and his equipment…it's been almost eight months…the rescuers stopped

their search…no physical body or the parts was ever found… I must go…you know how to contact me."

He left the room hurriedly.

"This just in…Ladies sharpen your finger nails…A young woman staggered into an emergency room with a fractured jaw…after being beaten by her attacker, because of an attempted rape… Her assailant didn't get away clean … the lady with her

sharp finger nails ripped the potential rapist's penile appendage from the base to its end… taking skin, blood, hair and semen…all collected in the hospital Emergency Room…and turned over to the police investigator…I know he's feeling the pain…ouch."

EXT: THE SEVEN HILLS OF ROME_DAY

The door to a house opens, and JAKE walks out followed by his Labrador retriever… he stood drinking from his cup…and looked around the vast woods and other surrounding areas.

Jake has grown full facial hair… his constant companion the trusty Labrador retriever ran barking playfully after the birds and small animals that scampered away.

FLASHBACK to time he and Liv spent two months on the island. The beach, love making Jake ached for her.

INT: GRANT AND ASSOCIATES_DAY

A young woman… opened the door hesitantly, and walked inside. She was café Olay in color, neat figure dressed in modern young people garb.

Saying, my name is, "JODIE AIMES, I was given this number by a friend…CHESTER; he said no job is too small for you." She spoke with a wired jaw.

ABBY, answered, "That's right Jodie no job too small…what can we do for you?"

JODIE, answered, "You might have heard about the woman who scratched her rapist attacker?"

QUINN, said, "Great… good for you Jodie!"

JODIE, said, "CHESTER and his crew found him…he is an ex Congressman PATRICK HENRY …retired…if I hadn't defended myself I would have been raped…there are more women found by Chester and his crew, Congressman HENRY had his personal doctor treat his wounds… I don't know what to do. I have a fractured jaw, scratches and bruises…my medical bills are out of sight… I can't pay them."

QUINN, asked, "How did you get the fractured jaw?"

JODIE, replied, "When I clamped my finger nails in his penis…he screamed and started to punch me trying to free himself…I held on until he hit me in my face… that's when I sliced the skin off his family jewels with his semen and blood…the cops took the specimen. I think they're trying to cover it up."

ABBY, said, "We want you to leave your information and we'll be in touch as soon as we talk with Chester…we will be in touch with you right away… don't you worry we're in your corner."

ABBY walked Jodie to the door.

INT: FITZ'S OFFICE_DAY

Cell phone sounds.

FITZ, says, "Hello…"

INTERCUT CELLPHONE CONVERSATION:

A child's voice said, "Daddy…home daddy."

All the small voices repeated after RAY on their cell

phones… "Home daddy…mommy home mommy."

KELLI, said, "Hi… daddy…Mommies daddy

home…"

FITZ surprised saying, "Hi baby Daddy and mommy are here we're coming home soon."

LIV, said. "I wonder who taught them to use the cell phones…you… gave them."

FITZ laughed, "We have been summoned home…by voices I didn't expect to hear on the phones…come on mommy let's go."

They left the office Fitz seem to need to touch Liv.

INT: NEWS STUDIO_DAY

NEWSCASTER says sadly, "This story must be told…A young woman was rescued from the locked basement of CONGRESSMAN HANDLEYS home, today. She was imprisoned there for the last three, years, the Congressman when he was home raped his daughter on a daily bases. His daughter in those three years produced two children. I will not use her name… In essence she is the daughter of Congressman Handley, and is the mother of his children by his daughter who is also her sisters. It was proven by DNA Diagnostic, there is no doubt all are the Congressman's children.

A sick joke by one of his colleagues I QUOTE…The Governor of Louisiana, "What incest? He was just keeping it in the family" end quote…

Laughter was heard by fellow Republicans in attendance.

The RNC is scrambling to distance them from

The Congressman and the ones who laughed."

The story had a life of its own as it went virile around the globe.

The Congressman pleads no contest. His wife was admitted to the hospital for the insane. His daughters were in seclusion.

The Judge sentenced the Congressman to ninety year and a day.

The media chased the story in groups to no avail.

The Congressman's fortune was given eventually to the older daughter with the Courts supervision.

INT: ASSOCIATES OFFICE_DAY

FITZ, said, "Some people in Washington will never learn… they always find their feet in their mouth…'That idiot that said keeping it in the family' should be in the nut hatch with the Congressman's wife."

LIV, said, "My thoughts exactly."

FITZ, asked, "Quinn how much time do you need to prepare for JODIE'S case? Can you do it in two,

weeks… with the evidence you have now...or as soon as you can get it on the docket a civil action."

QUINN, answered, "I'm almost ready now with Chester's help… I think I can do it."

FITZ, corrected her saying, "Don't think, you're almost ready…We want a major class action suit against the police chief for inaction, judge for light sentence, and the Congressman at least ten million."

QUINN, replied, "I'll keep you posted."

FITZ said, "Abby are you about ready for the THURMAN ALLAN case… I know you've had a number of postponements… find the law pertaining to that and bring it before the Judge… see what happens."

LIV said,"I spoke with ADELE… she will sponsor the children camp on her estate for our ongoing project of helping the children, elderly and hunger program…she's sponsoring the send off with the children gala with petting zoos, pony rides, massive amounts of food, clowns, four jumper house…a good time will be held for all…of course we will need help for this our first under taking… tell me your ideas in the coming weeks."

HUCK, said, "In the Cyrus case… the new gardener, the one ELLA LOUISE saw kiss Michael dead in the mouth is a straggler from B613…angry with Cy for a reason known only to him at present…we are keeping a close watch over ELLA and the gardener… he has only one person he meets with so far."

LIV, asked, "What about protection for Ella

Louise?"

HUCK, answered, "Chester has one of the little people with her… as companion. CLARA is Chester's nineteen year old daughter… about the same size as Ella Louise."

FITZ, said, "How is she as protector?"

"Chester taught her well… she can disable a normal sized man in a mille-second…you should have seen her… she knows her manual arts." HUCH laughed.

"Sounds good … I had to ask. " FITZ said.

INT: GRANT BEDROOM_NIGHT

LIV, said, "Fitz what did you do to me just now."

FITZ, replied, "If you don't know… I didn't do it right soooo…I'll just have to do it again."

LIV, giggling answered, "Not that silly… You're in tip top shape for the great shape you're in…I mean you didn't sneak up on me because it's night and get me pregnant again… I need to watch you closely."

FITZ replied, "I plead the fifth… and that's the truth. Doux Bae Bae mine."

DISTRICT ATTORNEY, jumped up, saying, "I object your honor statement not in evidence.''

JUDGE, said, "Granted… get on with it for the defense."

"Congressman, have you ever met my client JODIE AIMES?" QUINN asked.

CONGRESSMAN, answered, "No I've never met your client."

QUINN asked. "Congressman please explain to the court how your, blood, skin and semen got on her hands and under her finger nails?"

CONGRESSMAN, shouted, "It's a frame! ... Cooked up by my enemy's! They're using this woman."

QUINN walks to the defense table, saying, "I have here affidavits' stating you are the person who drives a black town car…you're the man who climbed out of that car and forcibly raped them in the park… remember Sir Perjury is punishable under the law."

CONGRESSMAN, shouted, "It never happened!"

"Your honor, we can stop this now, … Congressman if you will step into chambers and show the Judge … the scaring on the family jewels of your loins… it will end this charade now." QUINN said.

"The Congressman yells "NO… I plead the fifth … I plead the fifth!"

THE JUDGE, said. "You've answered questions… you can't plead the fifth… you can't pick and choose the questions you will answer and those you will not answer."

QUINN said. "I have a court order, compelling you to give us a specimen to compare it to the blood, skin,

hair and semen found on Jodie's hands… and allow us to photograph the family jewels of your loins… for this jury to see for themselves."

THE JUDGE, said, "In my chambers we can get this over in minutes."

FITZ said, "After looking into your problems… we can address the bombings through the Southern states. It appears after each rejection by the Republican Senate there is a bombing… it is almost eighteen rejections to date… the Senate does not seem to get it."

SENATOR JASPER, yells, "We are sent to use our expertise in governing… not to appease all the voters! ...Our base sent us here to work for the

people… who work for their families, not those on welfares, a drain on the government… that goes for the welfare queens always having babies, if they can lay on their backs and have babies they should take care of them… we take care of ours… bunch of fore-flushers…we work for the people… our kind."

FITZ said. "I'm beginning to see that…it may be so Senator. The fact remains you are suppose to work for all the people…You were sent to Washington for all the people… We have investigated and found…there is a coalition forming with the voters of all races, and beliefs discussing your attachment with your donors…and the money you collect from them, those people believe money talks and you have

have no feelings for women problems, children, the elderly and middle class… that appears to be acted out across America et all… until you work for

'The' people in your districts not just some. Your

reports have all the facts as we found them."

The representatives grab their reports leaving the

office grumbling.

ABBY, said, "I feel like I need a shower after that bunch of knuckles heads."

HUCK, said, "A cop I know spoke to me about the latest police killing… they haven't a clue who is doing them… the last this morning… with a note saying, 'LUCKY THIRTEEN' the policeman's corpse had no face… same M.O…"

Maybe a dignitary to speak for our cause… We will notify our contacts…" (Liv rise up on one hand looks Fitz in the face), saying, "Do you think we can do that in a month?"

FITZ, replies, "I don't see why not… but enough

about money… I have plans."

He looks at Liv with that lewd and lascivious gleam

in his eyes. She rolls over into his arms.

FITZ, continued, "I noticed you are wearing a different lipstick."

LIV, replied, "Yes…why?"

FITZ said,"I liked the old one, it taste good."

"I'm sorry… I thought it was the lips under the lipstick that fascinated you." LIV answered playfully.

FITZ said, "That's… only one of the assets that drew me to you… you had that come hither look… stay here just as you are…let's test the theory, see if it pans out."

"I'm glad it's almost over… I wonder what will happen with Michael…." LIV asked.

FITZ, replied,"He's probably history…Cy only needed one more problem… now he has it."

LIV, started to say something…

FITZ stopped her saying, "Oh no you don't … it's sleep time…"

LIV replied, "Yes master… sleep time." She cuddled facing him and they were soon sleeping.

EXT: A DARK STREET CORNER_NIGHT

A tall figure cast a long shadow as he waited near a street light on a corner of the sidewalk.

A man hurried along the sidewalk toward the man.

The tall figure stepped out quickly, and viciously struck the policeman from behind rendering him unconscious.

The killer proceeded to go about his ghoulish task… ripped the fallen man's face with a garden claw mutilating his facial features.
