"It was time to kill again."
Ever since Olivia's return Huck had promised he wouldn't kill again. He wanted to be a better person, but not just for Olivia but for himself and his family. Quinn however didn't have his scruples, morals or earthly bindings. Olivia had received a series of threats that couldn't laughed off, it was simple that the Vice President still held a grudge. Since Huck was out of commission and asking Jake would be a death wish and would only receive a sincere scolding from Olivia that meant she only had one option. It was time to kill again. It would be her first official and unofficial job by herself. Men like him didn't deserve to keep living. When had she decided she would be the judge and jury for one man's life? She assumed it was when he kept threatening Olivia.
Quinn stood just out of sight of the cameras. She knew where they were, how far they could see even with the magnification principles. Cyrus Beene stepped out from the shadows with a smile, Quinn reminded herself this was just business and for Olivia.
"This would by no means come back on me, would it Ms. Perkins?"
"Mr. Beene we're not going to waste each others time with threats. We both have done things we're not proud of, it's best to leave that to the dark." Quinn said, Cyrus had a flash of secret meetings about Defiance and the death of Sally Langston's husband. This young woman had somehow been loosely acquainted with both, she spoke honestly and it would be best that they both get this over with. They did however have a common enemy. "You want him out of office and I want him gone permanently. He really has caused too much damage."
"And he's threatening Olivia again right?"
"Right. If he is gone there will be no one to expose any secrets about the Grants, right?"
"Correct as usual, Ms. Perkins." Cyrus handed her the envelope, it was full of money but she handed it back to him. "You need to take this, this is security on both of our ends. Think of it as a security deposit and when it's done-"
"You'll receive it back in full. Did you bring what I actually asked you to bring?" Quinn asked, Cyrus pulled out a small jump drive.
"It has his schedule, drivers names and security codes to his houses. Also, there's access to the White House server to get rid of any damage, and there's also access to any and all of his accounts. Here's to hoping he won't be hiding anything that could make this work."
"Right, it's good doing business with you." Quinn said and left. Cyrus watched the young woman walk down the street towards a car parked a few blocks away.
"Olivia Pope sure does have a hell of a team."
The Vice President walked down the hall and headed towards his study. He imagined he could squeeze in a little bit more work. He opened the door and walked over to his seat, as soon as he sat down he felt that he wasn't alone. Before he could jump up someone grabbed him from behind and injected him with something. It was strong, powerful and caused the room to sway from side to side.
"You... bitch..." He muttered before succumbing to the darkness. When he woke up he was tied up on the floor . It looked familiar and as he looked around he saw someone sitting on the bed. "Who the hell are you?"
"Your judge... your jury... and executioner..." She stood up and walked over to him slowly, the sound of her high heeled boots echoed on the dusty floor and filled him with a sense of dread. Would she be the last thing he saw? Who was she and what did she want?
"What do you want..."
"I want you to die, but before that I'm going to have a little fun." Quinn said.
"What's this about?"
"Olivia Pope."
Huck knows what she did. He could tell what she was going to do before she even did it. He sat back and watched as she set up everything, even the meetings with Cyrus Beene. He can't bring himself to intervene when she tortures him but does show up for his final hour. Quinn kneels over his body, a scalpel is in her hand and is about to slice away at a very important vein when Huck slams the door shut.
"Hel...Hel...Help..me..." The Vice President stammers but he knows there's nothing he can do, and a part of him knows he shouldn't stop this at all. This man had hurt Olivia, he should be killed outright.
"Huck..." Quinn places the scalpel down on the plastic. She's covered in blood and he can see that she doesn't have a problem with it. She looks more annoyed that he stopped her, he understands that annoyance when you're working on a project that gets interrupted.
"We don't do this, Quinn."
"I can't let him do this... He can't hurt her again..."
"I know, but..." He looked down at the blood and then back to the Vice President. "Is this the right way?"
"I knew you couldn't and wouldn't do it. Olivia would want to do it the proper way but he's not a proper person, Huck. He's really bad and he has to be dealt with the really bad way." Quinn said, "I know you think I'm a monster but I can't... we can't... we won't lose her again."
