AN: First of all, thanks for taking the time to read my story. Sadly Olivia does have to leave for now, but it's all for a good reason and she will come back cause Olitz. I made some stuff up about Huck's wife Kim, because there's not much information about her so I guess it's fine.


Two weeks earlier

Huck stepped into the front porch of his wife's house, he didn't like the terms of his visit but Liv needed him, and it seemed to be the best way to go. He rang the bell. He heard footsteps getting close, and almost ran.

She opened the door, her eyes went wide, and she collapsed. Huck caught her on time and brought her inside. He walked to the living room and gently placed her on the couch. He sat on the opposite side, as far away from her as he could, so she would not be scared when she woke up.
When she finally came to her senses, she slowly sat up, confused to where she was, until she saw Huck. She brought her hands to her mouth and just sat there in shock. He figured he had to be one to talk.

"I'm sorry" Huck decided to open with those simple words, also he wasn't sure how to go about things after all that happened, considering he wasn't the best with people.

"I'm sorry about everything that happened, about being gone for so long, about hurting you" he continued "If I could change things I would" he rubbed his hands on his thighs trying to stay focused and calm. "When I came back they offered a job I never really wanted, but they told me if I didn't take it I'd go back to war" he was quiet for a moment and almost laughed "Thinking back, that would've been better"

Kim was sitting there quiet, trying to make sense of Huck's words. She thought he had gotten into something illegal considering the way they took him, but hearing him she doubted that was the case.

"They couldn't have a guy with a family, but I couldn't just let it go, so they tortured me into believing you didn't exist, it was bad so I kinda lost it, and I was of no use to them anymore, but a guy spared my life" his voice was barely above a whisper, but is was so quiet in the room, she could hear him without trouble.

"I ran and lived in the shadows, homeless, barely keeping it together, until Olivia Pope found me. She saved me" He let that last part sink in before he kept talking.

"You mean Olivia Pope, as in President Grant's Olivia Pope" Kim asked. Huck just nodded in agreement.

"I don't really expect you to forgive me or to be back in your life; I am not the same person you met, and I can't tell you more cause you would be scared and it could put you in danger, actually I go by the name of Huck now. The thing is we need your help, please just hear her out"

Everything just seemed so weird to Kim, and her logical side was telling her to kick him out and try to forget everything that happened that day, but something in his expression, the way he spoke, or the silent plea in his eyes told her to go along at least until she could find out more. She nodded in agreement and he took his phone out.

"Olivia, please come in"


It wasn't such a long drive to Burke, where Huck would leave the "borrowed" malibu, and switch to the SUV he had already prepared; a black highlander with fake plates, that had the gps rigged to show an incorrect location and it also had tinted windows. After switching cars, they would go meet Kim to get everything going. All the driving around DC was getting ridiculous, but sadly it was necessary.

When they arrived at Kim's, Huck got out first to make sure it was safe. Olivia got out when Huck gave her the clear. They got in through the backdoor to avoid getting attention from the neighbors. Kim was impatiently waiting for them in the kitchen.

"Is everything ok? Is the boy safe?" Huck asked to make sure his son was somewhere far.

"Yes, he is already in my sister's house" She answered in a low voice, the whole situation was bit too much for her.

"I will go prepare the cargo so you can get going right away" With that Huck excused himself and left Olivia and Kim alone.

"So you will not be coming with us?" Kim asked

"No, it's for the best, I will be taking a flight to Nassau, and a bit of a road less traveled to get back to the US" Olivia answered.

Kim nodded, and they stood there in awkward silence for a few minutes until Huck returned.

"Everything is ready, cargo is been placed in your car" Huck announced when he walked back to the kitchen, luckily Kim already had an SUV, it was in good shape and the windows where dark enough, he only made a few changes to it a few days before. Kim left to go get her things so they could all leave.

"I am taking you to a nearby bar so you can take a cab from there to the airport, you have your burner phone with my number on speed dial, call me when you get to Nassau, then toss that phone and start using the other one." he instructed Olivia, until she interrupted. "and my new documents are safely hidden on my carry on luggage, got it" She said, forcing a smile. Kim came back with a duffel bag over her shoulder.

About 15 minutes minutes later Kim was on the road already and Huck was dropping Olivia off at the bar, it was 10pm they were right on schedule. Rowan would be able to track her leaving the country to the Bahamas, but if everything went according to their plan he wouldn't register her return. Huck would meet her at the bus station in Tampa. Olivia had to hire a seaplane to take her from Nassau to Key Largo, then a Ferry from Key Largo to Homestead, and finally a bus from Homestead to Tampa. All paid with cash and returning to the mainland with a new name.


The day after Olivia left, Fitz decided to get his life in order, so if Olivia came back, they could finally be together the right way. He called his personal lawyer first thing in the morning so he got the divorce papers to him by lunch. That afternoon he dropped the bomb on Mellie. At first she protested and left the oval in a rage fit, however, after calming down and a long conversation with Andrew she realized there was no point in fighting, it was best for both of them. She called her lawyer so they could arrange everything. They would split their property; He would keep his family ranch in California and a couple of other properties in the south, she would get the townhouse in Boston and the Manhattan penthouse. As for Karen and Teddy, she didn't even argue they had to stay with him. The guilt from failing Jerry as a mother was always in her mind, but not really about keeping him close to her, she was well aware that she was not the motherly type, she felt guilty about forcing Fitz to send them away. After all they were her kids, maybe she couldn't provide the care and love they deserved, but Fitz could and she denied them that chance. It was too late for Jerry, but not for Karen and Teddy.

After everything that happened Fitz decided that it was fine if she wanted to stay in the residence for a while, as long as she slept in a different room. They were cordial to each other so it wasn't so bad. Karen had asked Fitz how could they live like that, still making a show after all that had happened so he told her about the impending divorce.

"Your mother will only be staying here until we are officially divorced, and she's actually moving to the Blair house in a few days" He assured his daughter. Karen took a deep breath and asked the question she'd been thinking about since she heard divorce.

"What will happen to Teddy and me?" She voiced full of concern.

"You guys are staying with me, I get full custody, and you will visit your mother occasionally" He answered with a smile. Karen returned the smile, before she got up to hug him.

"Come on kiddo, it's getting late, lets get you to bed"

Fitz was quite pleased with himself, he had accomplished a lot that day, his lawyer would file the papers in the morning. He also had to meet with Andrew, he had a feeling he would be losing his vp after Mellie moved away, so he had to make arrangements. Cyrus would be livid, but he had to get him a list of possible replacements. He tried to sleep, but his mind kept going to Olivia. Fitz ended up taking the sleep meds the doctor gave him after Jerry's death so he could get some rest.


Olivia got to Nassau in the middle of the night, she caught the last flight from DC, she took a cab to the marina Huck instructed her to go. Once she was there she called Huck to let him know and tossed the phone into the ocean.

Huck was still hours away from Tampa , and Kim was taking a rather slow trip to Tallahassee. It took Olivia a little while to find the guy who would take her to Key Largo. They took off at dawn, and she got to Homestead around 8:30 am, and took the first bus she found to Tampa. She got there at 1:00 and Huck was already waiting for her.

They finally got to Kim around 4:30 pm, he couldn't drive as fast during the day. Kim was waiting for them at the abandoned warehouse Huck had found. He transferred the cargo to his SUV, so they could leave ASAP. Olivia thanked Kim, and Huck arranged to call her later to make sure she got to her sister in Baton Rouge safe and sound. They said goodbye, Kim drove back to downtown Tallahassee to find a motel to rest for a couple of hours before hitting the road again. Olivia and Huck couldn't afford to waste any time so they got on the road immediately and only stopped for gas and energy drinks. After 24 hours of non-stop traveling they got to their safe house in Houma, LA.

The house had been bought under her fake identity, Lucy Wilson; Rowan gave her a lot of money so she could get away, and Huck had been transferring money from her savings to an offshore account on Lucy's name for a while, just in case it was needed. Through several complicated moves Huck "bought" her a house in Nassau with Rowan's money, so he could transfer the money to an untraceable account linked to a P.O. box, and withdraw most of it in cash to get the actual house for "Lucy", the rest was sent to the offshore account. He got Olivia enough cash to get by for a long time and he would get her more when needed.

Both exhausted from the very long trip, they got the cargo into the house and crashed for the night. However, as tired as she was, Olivia was having a hard time falling asleep, because she kept thinking about Fitz. After a while, tiredness finally took over and she fell asleep.

AN: I apologize if the whole plan-travel thing is confusing, it's just that Rowan can't find them so it can't be easy. Did my best to explain it all but feel free to ask. I did my best to research all the travel times and distances and I belive I got it ok, but I'm only human so if you spot some weird mistake or something I'm sorry. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
