**Getting closer**
Present Day
Diego Nunes' expression hadn't changed as he listened to Fitz talk about Olivia Pope. "What are you going to do Fitz?"
Fitz glanced down at the photographs, his jaw hardening.
"I'm going to Washington, D.C."
Diego nodded. "Do you need me for anything else?"
No. And thanks, Diego." He watched Diego stand to his feet and walk out of his office, closing the door quietly.
Leaning back in his chair, Fitz closed his eyes and let feelings he hadn't felt in six years sweep over him. He sat for half an hour before he pushed a button on the phone on his desk.
"Lauren. Call the airport and have the jet fueled and ready for a flight to D.C. I'd like to leave early tomorrow morning."
He barely heard Lauren's acknowledgement as he sat at his desk, watching the New York City skyline, until the sun set and his office grew dark.
Mentally and emotionally he was ready for Olivia Pope.
