Soon they were there, Santa Barbra , situated above the pacific ocean , the town was quaint with lots of Mediterranean features. As they drove down the quaint streets, soon they saw the Mega mansions at the edge of town. Inside the gated community of golden star there were the fanciest and largest mansions in the whole town, and one of them belonged to Fitzgerald Thomas Grant the 2nd .They checked in at the guard booth and drove down the long driveway towards the house. The second they got their they ran to the door, desperate to stop whatever was going on inside
They knocked on the door of the mansion, a minute later elderly Spanish woman in a uniform opened the door
"Can I help you?" She asked
"Um yes were looking for the governor" Olivia said in her sweetest voice
"Which one the angry one or the other angry one? "She asked opening the door to show Fitz and Jerry in a heated argument on the back Deck
"Oh my god" Olivia muttered as she pushed into the room, and hurried to the back door.
"YOU ARE SO DAMM UNGREATFULL EVERYTHING YOU ARE IS BECAUSE OF ME !" Jerry barked
"DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF" Fitz snapped
"OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYONE STOP IT" Olivia barked trying to get control of the situation
"YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, AND NEITHER DO YOU , IM NOT YOU , AND THEY DAY I TURN INTO YOU IS THE DAY I KILL MYSELF!"Fitz screamed
"YOU SON OF A …." Jerry yelled shoving Fitz who raised his fist to punch his father. Billy tried to stop Fitz from clocking the old man, just before impact he tried in vain to stop the blow. Fitz's fist missed Jerry and drove straight into Billy's eye , he stumbled back and fell to the ground his hand covering the swollen eye socket. The second it made impact with a painful crunch, and they realized the collateral damage they stopped screaming for a second.
"Oh my god are you okay?" Olivia said running over to Billy crouching down next to him.
"Ah god no not really … fuck" he groaned
"Okay um can I see it?" she asked trying to remain calm after he took his hand away to reveal his black and blue swollen eye that was getting worse by the second.
"Ah this hurts like fuck!" he moaned
"You see what you did you ungrateful brat" Jerry snapped
"Shut up!" Fitz barked
"Okay you know what EVERYONE LIVINGROOM NOW!"Olivia screamed in a tone so forceful that they all stopped fighting. Billy leaned on Olivia as he stumbled into the room. They all headed to the living room where Fitz and Jerry sat as far away as possible. Olivia had the house keeper bring ice for Billy's eye and Fitz's hand.
"Okay we are going to resolve this with words like big kids, first of all Fitz please apologize to Billy for making him see double"
"I'm sorry man , you weren't the intended target" Fitz mumbled not looking up.
"It's fine , I have 5 brothers I'm used to this kind of stuff" he admitted
"Okay great problem solved, now Fitz and Jerry I get it you hate each other but you need to chill out because you're headed towards mutually insured destruction. Jerry I get it, Fitz is a disappointment , but if you want a grant in the Whitehouse this is your only chance. And Fitz , if you want to be president then you need all the help you can get , so for 2 weeks let's call a truce , and once we've won we can then go back to hating each other. Can we do that … please"
"Fine" Jerry grumbled
"I guess 2 weeks in hell is worth it" Fitz muttered. After they reconciled olive loaded a very relived Cyrus , Jerry , Fitz , and Billy into the car. Billys eye was blue an almost completely swollen about an hour of driving Olivia saw a sign for a mall .
"Let's stop here for , so I can go get you some cover-up so you don't look like a thug". She said to Billy
"I'm sorry, but I'm way to preppy to be a thug , then again my roommate at Andover was a drug dealer so hey you never know"
"Wait seriously?" Olivia asked
"Yeah and I accidentally turned him in so… he kind of hated me "
"How do you accidentally turn someone in?" Fitz scoffed
"By google searching if my roommate is selling drugs can I get in trouble? They were already investigating him ,so when they saw that they raided our dorm in the middle of the night, it was terrifying"
"Whad your parents pay to get you out of that?" Jerry asked
"Well ….the police department got a new break room and the school got a new track"
"That's the way to do it, offer them "donations" he said with a wink
"Okay let's stop talking about bribery and start talking about skin tones"
"Wait your actually going to put makeup on me?"
"To keep the press from wondering what happened to a senior campaign staffer… yes I will force you to wear makeup "He said as they pulled into the parking lot of a mall. They pulled up in front of the entrance to Sephora
"Okay come on Billy lets go" she said grabbing his hand
"Can I come too?" Jerry asked
"What so you can check out the spokes girls" Fitz scoffed
"OKAY STOP! Until I get back, Cyrus is your Babysitter. If while I am gone anyone yells at each other , hits each other or tries to kill each other I will go full on Crazy and you don't want me full on crazy!" She barked
"Bitch" Jerry muttered under his breath
"Yes I am a Bitch thanks for noticing" she said sarcastically as she slammed the car door. And guided Billy into the store. She headed towards the concealer section to look for the right skin tone. Olivia pulled out a couple different ones until she finally settled on a medium shade concealer. She went to the register and was about to pay for it when Billy handed her a 100 dollar Bill.
"Are you sure you didn't join your roommate in drug dealing because that is the only logical explanation why you have large wads of cash .
"Its called being rich" he said handing her the bill , she took the bill and then handed it back to him
"I pay no questions"
"Okay then thanks" he said as they left the store and headed to the car where only Jerry remained
"Don't freak out Honey, I didn't kill them, they went for lunch, but I'm actually glad I have you two here"
"And whys that?" Billy asked as he inspected his eye in Olivia's tiny mirror.
"Now my son wants to run a clean campaign , but we all know that's not possible, so I need you to get some dirt on Reston
