CHAPTER 2: Who you gonna call?... Olivia Pope

Olivia stood in the lobby waiting for the elevator. She relished this brief interlude of peaceful silence before her world became chaos once again. She watched the numbers above the door glow, descending to the ground floor to get her. With a soft ping, the elevator doors opened and welcomed her in. She stepped in and pressed the button for the floor she wanted; Olivia Pope and Associates. The doors closed in front of her and she tried to breathe as deeply as she could to try and shift the pressure she felt. The elevator shuddered slightly as it began to ascend to its destination causing her to stumble slightly. Olivia enjoyed the silence once more, taking in every inch of it that she could. She could only imagine what problems awaited her in the office, what sort of trouble the high rollers and important types of Washington DC had gotten themselves into, and who knew that she was the only one who could fix them… She was the fixer, and she was damn good at it. The elevator reached its destination. She could see Huck already waiting for her.

The doors opened and Olivia stepped out, walking over to the waiting Huck; who stood, feet shoulder width apart and his arms clasped behind his back. A company man through and through. "Huck?..." He shifted under her words, tilting his head slightly to the left, 'we have a problem…' And it had begun; chaos was about to ensue. She stepped past Huck towards the closed door of Olivia Pope and Associates. Huck turned on his heel and followed her through, as she opened it. She had barely made it past Huck's office when he pulled her into it and closed the door behind them. Slightly taken aback by the action. Huck by all accounts, even though a government trained killer who had a taste for torture, was never one for physicality unless it was absolutely necessary. She frowned and looked into his eyes, 'Huck? What is it?'

Huck frowned and stared off into the distance, his eyes moving back and forth like he was scanning his mind for how to say what he was feeling. After a few moments he looked back at her, 'someone, who is not us, not any of us has been in this office. Things have moved, not so much as to be in a different place, subtle, inches of movement, nothing appears to be missing but I feel someone has been here, looking for something, something that's not theirs… We have a problem.' Olivia frowned and extended a hand towards him placing it gently on his shoulder to help calm his erratic words, 'are you sure Huck?' He sat down in front of his wall of computers screens and hit a few keys on the keyboard, making the screens in front of them change rapidly. 'I'm sure…. I checked out the security log and camera feeds from the exterior of the building and there are gaps, someone has tampered with it…deleted parts of it.' Olivia leant over his shoulder and watched as the monitor changed to black; feed unavailable. 'We control those feeds don't we? From this office?' Huck looked back at her as she stood up, 'yes… which means someone has been in my office, touching my things. I haven't figured out who it was but I will… I will take care of it.' Olivia's phone interrupted them; it was ringing. She looked at the screen, 'Ok try and figure out who it was …' She made to leave, 'But Huck, promise me you won't do anything until you come to me first.' He looked at her and nodded, 'I promise…' She exited the office and answered her phone, leaving Huck to his own devices.

'Harrison… what's up?' Harrison was on the other end of the call. Olivia walked into her office, closing the door behind her. She had seen Quinn on her way through, asleep on the couch in her office but had wondered where Harrison and Abby were. 'We've got a client Liv..' Olivia nodded, turning the multiple televisions on in front of her, 'who is it? And what's the problem?' She couldn't tell where Harrison was by the background noise of the call but did know he was with Abby, hearing her call his name. There was a moment of silence between the pair and Olivia felt her stomach sink…'Its Abby… She's in trouble Liv.' She almost dropped the phone at hearing Abby's name; Harrison told her to bring everyone down to Abby's apartment. She ended the call and sprang from her office, 'Quinn… Huck…. We've got a client..' Quinn sat bolt upright at hearing Olivia call her name. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and grabbed her coat. Huck poked his head out of his office as Olivia walked towards him, 'Is it a clean up job or a disposal job...?' Olivia frowned; It surprised her at how quickly Huck could jump to disposal. Had she done this to him when she asked him to help her with the Amanda Tanner thing? 'I don't know…. ' Quinn joined the pair, 'Do we know who the client is..' Putting her bag over her shoulder, Olivia nodded, 'Yes… It's Abby… The client is Abby.'

There were people everywhere. Men and women in military uniforms of all sorts, white house aids, press and as always the secret service were milling about. Cyrus stood in the middle of the hallway; everything flowing around him in slow motion. He was used to this of course but he never liked when things like this happened; it made his job so much harder, made his life so much harder, every aspect of it. He was brought out of his thoughts by the image of the President walking towards him; his secret service agents not far behind. He walked towards him and handed him an overview of the briefing they were about to enter. 'The joint chiefs have gathered and are waiting to brief you on the situation and the options we have.' Fitz nodded and followed Cyrus into the room. As the door opened all who occupied it stood to attention. The president waved them off and sat down at the head of the table. 'What's the situation?' An intelligence officer stood up and began delivering his intel. 'At around 9:00am our time, an F-22 Raptor disappeared over the skies of Syria. As of yet we are unable to confirm its location or the cause of its disappearance. Two men were aboard, Major Zack Jones and Captain Benjamin Davis. We have been unable to establish communications at this time, but its becoming more and more likely that both men have not survived.' Fitz frowned hard upon hearing this. 'How can you make that assumption? Have you found their bodies… found the aircraft… No you have not… so if I were you I would refrain from making statements like that one, which you cant back up, in my presence and concentrate on finding out what happened.' The officer stood silent while the president spoke; knowing just how he felt. 'Yes Mr. president.' The officer sat down and Fitz leant forward, 'ok so what else can we do to figure out what happened here? To try and get these men back to their families?' Another officer stood up, 'We are contacting sources on the ground to see if they know anything… the only problem being that there wasn't any scheduled fly over or any sort of military obligation over that part of Syria this morning sir.' The room fell silent and all eyes were on turned on Fitz. 'So what your saying is that nobody wants to even try looking for these men?.. Is that what your all telling me?' Cyrus leant over to him, 'What they are saying is that we need be careful about how we play this one… If the Syrian government finds out that US forces were conducting training exercises in their airspace without prior approval things could get messy.' Fitz stood up and looked around the room, 'These two men, cleared to fly over there or not, are American Citizens, who have given themselves in service to this great nation are now missing… and they are relying on us to help bring them home…. I think things are already messy… Get me something I can work with!' With that he made to leave; once again everyone in the room standing to attention. 'Mr. President.'
