Fitz sat in the Oval reading over the brief for the day. Cyrus came in and reminded him of his meeting in a few minutes.

"By chance, Cy, were you at Olivia's last night?" Fitz asked him. He had a slight thought that maybe he and Olivia were coming up with some sort of plan for reelection.

"No, I was with Ella. James just came home last night and we spent the night at home. Why do you ask?"

"Don't worry about it. I just thought maybe she was with you last night."

Cyrus told him once again about the meeting and left the room. When he went to close the door, Tom walked in closing it behind him.

"Sir, we have a slight situation."

"If it's about Olivia and her attitude, I'm well aware of that. What would this situation be?" Tom handed Fitz the file and he read through it. "Pick her up and take her to the Residence. Whatever you have to do, just bring her back here."

Tom took off with Daniel and went to OPA. They went through the office and waited for Olivia to finish talking with her team in the conference room. She noticed them standing there waiting and decided to make them wait longer. She told each member exactly what she wanted from them, then went to her office.

"I'm not leaving here," she told them as Huck followed her into her office. "I can assure you too, you can't take me. He will make sure of that. What does he want?"

Tom and Daniel both knew it was going to be a challenge with her today. "Ms. Pope, he just wants to make sure that you're safe. You have a dangerous career and he worries about that. It's only because he loves you."

"I didn't sign up for that shit. He has no right. As for protection, that's what Huck is for. He's well trained at protecting me. And others. I don't want to hear his apologies. He's never going to change. If you'll excuse me, I have clients to attend to."

"Ma'am, you'll have to come with us. We have orders to physically remove you if necessary."

"Don't even think about touching her," Huck chimed in. "You'll regret doing it."

"He's right. I've seen his work. You can tell the President that I am very well protected here. I will continue working on his project to the terms we agreed to. Other than that, I have nothing to say to him."

Huck moved in front of Olivia to make sure that neither agent tried to touch her. Tom and Daniel left her with Huck and went back to the White House.

"He's not going to like this," Daniel told him.

"He doesn't really have a reason to bring her here but he says he does. We have to listen to him, of course. He won't like it when we tell him that she isn't there. He'll have to deal with it though," Tom responded.

They went to find Fitz in the Oval and explain why they failed his request.

"I'll be right up to see her. Make sure she doesn't leave."

"Actually, Mr. President. Ms. Pope didn't come with us. She's still at her office," Tom told him.

"Why? I told you to bring her here."

"Sir, have you met the man that works for her? He's very threatening."

"I have Secret Service working for me along with any of the Military. The two of you can't take Huck down? That's pathetic. I know what he's capable of, it's not that scary. What are her terms of coming here?"

"She didn't have any. All Ms. Pope said was that she was going to finish your project and she had nothing more to say to you. That was her only message."

Fitz picked up the bottle of Scotch and threw it against the wall. "She's so damn difficult. Let's go."

The two agents walked out behind him to the limo knowing there was no point in even attempting to stop him.

When they got to the office, Olivia had locked the door and had Huck watching it. No one was allowed in without an appointment.

"Her orders," Huck told Fitz. "You can't come in."

"Just tell her that I'm here. I need to speak to her, it's urgent," Fitz said.

"It won't matter, you aren't allowed in. If you can get a hold of her and make an appointment then I can let you in if she says so. Until then, no entry."

"I'm the fucking President of the United States. I don't need an appointment to see anyone. Either you let me in or I'll have my men break down the door and force it in."

"Let the jackass in, Huck. I don't need any broken doors here. People will start asking questions," Olivia told him. Huck stepped aside and let the three men in. "I'm sure that your security team, that's supposed to be protecting only you and your family, has informed you of our discussion from earlier. Therefore, I'm not sure why you are here. I'm done talking with you."

"Yeah, well, I'm not done talking with you. Whatever shit you pulled last night is something we need to talk about."

"I think going to hell is something that you can do better."
