Hello again I know I spoil you with these updates but I kinda had the first 10 chapters almost ready. So I see some of you smart munchkins already figured out the undercover part well you never know… Let's dig into Olivia's past…
3 years ago
Olivia felt the life coming out of her lungs as his hands choked her. The man was hovering her, threatening, his eyes were lifeless, she didn't recognize him, it was not him, not the man she loved, not Edison... she passed out.
She woke up 2h later in a hospital room, everything was blurry, her throat was on fire she could feel tears running down her cheeks she was confused, she looked around and saw a silhouette
Where am I? She barely whispered
Please, don't speak Mrs. Pope, you are safe now; Edison is dead he said before she could speak, he was threatening your life it was either him or you! You did good young lady get a rest I will tell you all later.
Olivia felt herself falling asleep again.
The Captain Jake Ballard got out of the room and place a call, the commissioner Johnson picked up
Hello
Edison Davis is dead sir
What? I told you, to be careful Jake!
I know but he was going to kill my source I couldn't let that happen she is so young
What happened to her?
She is bruised and battered but she will make it
Wow that bastard was nuts, did you finally got what we needed
Not much he said, his operations were well run all the money is going somewhere but I still don't know where
Edison was a brute he wasn't smart enough to put a network like that plus these things have been going on for more than 20 years he was just some thug selling crack on K Street back then
I know!said Jake
I need to know how to get closer to the head said Johnson I don't want Grant II on my bad side I need leverage, that old bastard is getting weaker it's the perfect time for us to make a move and take him down!
I will find out sir
Ok I have to go keep me informed when she wakes up.
Will do sir!
Jake looked through the room window the girl was so small in the bed; the bruises and face were bad, her lips were swollen and still bloody. He was glad that bastard was dead he would shot him all over again if he could.
Olivia Pope was tough, he was amazed by the strength of this tiny woman, she was his source for more than a year inside the Davis Cartel, when he arrested her for selling crack in the streets he gave her the choice either spend 15 years in jail or be his source. She was smart, she chose freedom. Once she started digging she revealed to him that Edison was just a front, the money from the drugs were laundered via a really complex network. He figured that most of the part went directly into the community but more than 50% was missing, he knew that it had something to do with the Grant Family but it was almost impossible to get close to them without an army of lawyers sending boxes of paperwork to fill. Edison was the first solid lead he got but he figured out that Olivia was double crossing him and attacked her.
For him knowledge was power, the more he knew the more he could control the town he wanted what was rightfully his and was going to do everything to get it...
Now…
Olivia was lying in her bed thinking about what happened the night before with Fitz, she couldn't believe she let him touch her like that he was the first since Edison... after what she been through she promised herself to never let a man have power over her again but she rode her luck. As soon as she laid eyes on him she knew she was lost. Damn! Her body betrayed her! She could used whatever was happening between them to get closer to the family, she wasn't at ease with it but she didnt have a choice. The captain told her that it was the last mission she had to do for him, she owed him he saved her life 3 years ago ...
Tears started to run down her cheeks as she remembered how her life turned for the worse, she met Edison when she moved to Chicago to live with her aunt after her mom passed away, she never knew who her dad was and according to her mom it didnt matter ! He was tall, muscular and driving a bright red mustang she was a sucker for fast cars and she felt for it. She was young and stupid, when she should have work harder to have a swim scholarship she quit school and start selling crack for him.
She was in love or at least she thought she was , he was always saying that it was temporary, that they needed some money to move to Florida, they were going to buy a house in the keys and live happily ever after. That was before he start beating on her for not bringing enough money home, when she got arrested by Jake she realized that it was her way out of this mess. She helped as much as she could placing cameras and wires in his place, copying every paperwork she could find for more than a year. Edison started to be suspicious when some of his guys got busted and he start loosing money. When he found out she was the reason he lost it, he beat her so bad that day that she passed out, she thought it was her last day, she never got the details on how Jake got here on time to save her all she knew was he died.
She spent 2 years building her life from the ground up , Jake helped her move out, she passed her coaching degree and decided to help young girls to not make the same mistakes she did, she was almost there when he asked her for one last favour, he wanted her to get close to the Grant family it wouldn't be dangerous this time, she didnt have to be in the streets, they had a mansion, all she had to do was to be in to place cameras in some key places that's all ! She didnt plan Fitz! He was trouble ...
Tossing and turning in her bed she realized it was almost 6,am. Another sleepless night ! she got up and decided to go do some laps in the community pool.
