Hey gladiators. Busy again… but also been following what our faves have been up to. They are busy at work again making our favorite show. It wasn't so tragic with Tony's hair cut, he still is the best looking man on tv. What about the teaser on Jimmy Kimmel? Hi? Well let's hope that Kerry's little tip is correct and her and Fitz are back together soon.
Kevin's eyes were wide open as he saw the large power drill in Quinn's hands. She trembled with delight as she started the motor. Bound by duct tape, he was motionless and terrified. Quinn peered through the plastic goggles as she sized up her victim. He could only mumble through the tape, yet you could see the screams in his voice. Laying on the plastic, he was completely naked and exposed to the deadly strangers. Jeannine was helpless as she watched them torture her boyfriend. Wanting to hear his questions, Quinn ripped off the tape . This caused him to yell in pain.
"Tell me who are you working for?" Kevin asked angrily.
Huck gave him a deadly smile and then answered, "Let's just say we are friends of the President."
How in the hell did they know unless they were telling the truth? The only people who would have the information would be the White House and Olivia Pope. If this was the case, then these people were not the kind of people to mess with. They meant business. But at the same time, Kevin knew the President's reputation and about the estimate of his wealth. Surely he could spare some of the money , he asked for. He was sure he did not want it to get out that he possibly had to get married to save the reputation of a woman who had already been labeled his mistress.
Quinn had a determined look on her face. She had seen this man as an opportunist and as someone who wanted to hurt her friends. These two had been through enough and now they deserved a clean break as they got ready to be married. She leaned down and screamed at the man. "Where's the file?" he refused to answer.
She put the bit next to the flesh and it made a crunching sound as it hit the bone. Blood squirted from all directions as the drill hit the skin. It actually brought a smile to her face as she looked over at her boyfriend and teacher , she knew later they would lovingly Huck. Muffled screams came from the floor as Kevin screamed. Jeannine couldn't bear to witness any more. She put her hand up to stop it.
"Hold it! I know where the file is." She opened her bedroom door and then opened her lingerie drawer. At the bottom, it was taped. She pulled the tape off and then returned to her living room. Sobbing, she handed it to Quinn.
"it was his idea. I never wanted to hurt anyone. They were so in love and so happy. " Quinn broke down her defenses and then took the file from the young girl. She was very touched by her honesty. Kevin was still motionless and speechless as the duo packed up their tools.
Turning to her still bound boyfriend she announced. "I am going to my mother's for the night. When I get back , I want you and your shit out of here." She turned to Quinn and smiled. "We won't say anything."
Fitz stood nervously twitching as he had one hand on the Resolute desk and one hand on the phone. He was informing his accountant to get a wire transfer ready in case they needed it. He had some faith that her gladiators would come through and "persuade" the blackmailer, but this was just in case.
"Yes, Jason, I will let you know when to wire the twenty million." He said confidently. Hanging up , he cut the call so Olivia couldn't know what was going on. He knew she was returning, so he returned to the sofa. Olivia had a bag of things that she had picked up at the local baby boutique. She had begun to change into mommy to be.
I couldn't resist these , they are just too adorable." She said as she took each item from the bag. The first item was an infant sleeper with little rabbits on it. Then there were the tiny little Nikes for the baby's small feet, the final item was a little elephant that was obviously for the baby of the most staunch Republican.
"I always thought you were apolitical" Fitz said surprised at the last item.
Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck and then grinned. "Don't tell Abby, but I think I might be a Republican now." She moved toward his lips. "It might have to do with a politician who convinced me to get his vote." The two began to kiss and the toy dropped from her hand as he held her close. "You might have to do some more convincing ." she said as she let her mouth take a break. "I think I can do that." He said as he let his tongue reach into her mouth. Their make out session was interrupted by the opening of the Oval Office door.
"I really need to lock that door." Fitz said as he broke away from Olivia. "What Cyrus?"
"I am sorry to interrupt you making out with your girlfriend, sir. But I can say honestly that the problem we were dealing with earlier has vanished. It is a thing of the past." Cyrus smiled .
"What problem, Fitz?" she said innocently.
"It is handled., Livvie." Fitz said unconvincily.
Olivia knew was enough of a pro to know when she was being played. She knew almost everything about this man except for a few choice secrets when he was in the Navy. She knew that he was keeping something from her.
"Fitzgerald, I want the truth." She said staunchly. "Now we can't enter into a marriage unless you make me a promise ."
"And what is that?" Fitz asked earnestly.
"What exactly have you been hiding from me?" then she turned to Cyrus. "That includes you too , Cy. We have all been through too damn much to not trust each other. "
Cyrus looked at Fitz and then her fiancé answered. "The media has been merciless. They have been calling you a whore, a gold digger only after my money, saying you broke up my marriage, said I was a cheating womanizer, people demanding I resign, saying I have been through too much to effectively lead the country. "
Olivia had the saddest look on her face. Her brown eyes looked like they were ready to burst with tears. She bit her lip and then let the tears fall. Fitz put his hands out and Olivia threw them to the side and ran from the office. She collapsed on a bench down the hall and began to sob. After that, she walked upstairs to the Residence and took out her suitcase. She haphazardly threw clothes into it from the antique bureau.
"Olivia!" Fitz knew he would find her here. He tried to comfort her and she ignored all of his advances. She just knew one thing, she needed to get out of here and she didn't belong here.
"Just leave me alone. I will call a cab and then have someone pick up the rest of my things." She said as she zipped the suitcase.
"A cab to the White House? That will start the press vultures tongues wagging." Fitz said sarcastically. "Olivia, we can work this out. Remember in this together?" he had to remind her.
"I don't belong here. The American people are sending a very clear message." Olivia said as she rolled the suitcase. "I know we have had all these fantasies that we would just get married and be in love but that is just what they are, fantasies. There is no Vermont, no jam and this baby will be born far away from the Capitol. "
"Don't let the mood swings get you , we can do this. We are almost to the finish line. " Fitz said as he took her by the shoulders. "I told you a long time ago, I was willing to give this all up and I will still do it. I didn't want a second term anyway. That was Mellie and Cyrus' idea. If the American people want me to resign, I can do that if you want . We can leave and Vermont will be even earlier than we thought. It is all up to you , Liv." He gave her the most sincere look she had ever seen. His whole future as President was now in her hands.
Cyrus sat down and put his head into his hands. He knew it was going be rough once she came here, but not this rough. He decided to put it out of his mind by working. Sorting through some files, he looked up and was surprised to find Tom standing there.
"I'm busy, Tom what do you want ?" he said uninterested.
"You need to come with me." He announced.
"No time for games now. The first lady is having a crisis." Cyrus brushed him off.
Tom knew what had to be done. He had used the ring before, but now he needed to just sedate someone , not kill them. He jabbed the needle into Cyrus neck. Cyrus collapsed into his arms. With Charlie's help, the two of them put him into a black town car .
