AN: Finally chapter 7, I swear I tried to get it sooner, but I mean I'm only a few minutes past sunday; but seriously whatever god, deity or superior being you believe in, ask them to help me cause for real, I can't catch a break. Anyway, thanks for reading, I am deeply greatful for all of you. Hope you guys enjoy :)
Olivia paced the room impatiently, he was beginning to stir, it wouldn't be much longer until he woke up again. She had to be strong, and just wait for him to calm down, he couldn't really hurt her or go anywhere. There was much explaining to do, he just had to listen and things would hopefully be better. It would suck if she had to keep him tied down for the entire time they stayed there.
He began mumbling, and she got ready for another round of yelling. This time though she decided to stand as close to him as she could, so maybe she could hold his hand or something to help him calm down. A part of her understood why he was so upset, being tied down, medicated, he had a freaking catheter for fluid removal and he was feed liquids through his veins, anyone would get upset.
He finally opened his eyes, he was trying hard to focus, and get rid of the fog in his brains, he moved his arms just to check if he was still tied, and realized he was. He waited a few "minutes until he could think more clearly before he tried to say anything. He moved his head and found her standing close to the bed, he locked eyes with her, she looked worried.
"Why am I here? Why are you doing this to me?!" he said in a groggy voice.
"I can explain everything, but please don't get upset"
"Not get upset!" he said older now "Do you see me now, how can you ask me to not get upset!"
"Please" she pleaded
"Just… how could you do this, we trusted you… My father trusted you!" he said, desperation clear in his voice.
"Jerry please, I swear I never meant to hurt you, I was trying to save your life" She said louder, trying to get his attention. "I can explain everything"

Fitz had dinner with Karen and Teddy in her room, he went to get him after his nap and they all ate there while watching tv. Both kids fell asleep a while later, so he left Karen's room and took Teddy to his. He went to his room to change into something more comfortable and to retrieve the phone he was giving David later.
Huck stayed outside David's office almost all day, he figured the meeting would be at night again. When David left for the night he went to his place instead of Abby's, Huck decided to approach him there so they could go see the president together. He parked a few blocks away and walked to his apartment. He rang the doorbell. He heard noise behind the door, then the door opened slightly.
"Huck, I didn't expect to see you, if you are looking for Abby, she is not here" David said in a rush.
"I am here to go with you to your meeting" Huck told him.
"Look if Abby put you up for this, it's really not necessary, so you should go"
"This is not for Abby, and I know what you are doing, and who you are meeting, I know about the papers" Huck said as he put his hand on the door, pushing a little to prevent David from closing it.
"But.. Why do you… I mean How" David uttered nervously.
"I suggest you let me in, unless you want someone to hear us"
David nodded and let Huck in reluctantly. He took a sit on the couch, some of the papers were out already and he was packing them on his suitcase.
"Did Jake tell you?" David asked.
"He told Olivia" Huck replied "So I'm here to help"
David opened his mouth to interrupt, but Huck held out a hand to stop him and kept talking.
"I know more about our enemy than you and you new ally"
David was going to ask how he knew, but there was no point, and being honest with himself, Huck could really help them. He took a deep breath before he spoke.
"So you are coming with me" he said
"Yes" Huck replied.
"Ok then, we leave in a few minutes"

Jerry had calmed down after about half an hour. Olivia was scared, but Huck had told her it was normal for him to be so upset, coming off the meds after a such a long time would take it's toll on him. So she just sat there waiting for a chance to talk to him. After pulling on his restraints and screaming for a while he stayed quiet just looking at the ceiling.
"Does my father know?" he finally spoke.
"No, no one from your family knows, just me, and three other people" Olivia told him.
"Why?" He asked
"Because if they knew, the plan wouldn't have worked out, and maybe one of them could've gotten hurt, or he could have tried with you again" Olivia explained.
"He could have tried again, who are you talking about?" He asked
Olivia didn't know if she should tell the truth already, he could get all riled up again, but she figured it was better if that happened while he was still tied up.
"My father" she answered in a low voice.
Jerry heard her answer, but it made no sense to him, why would her father want to hurt him, he had never heard her mention her father, or anyone from her family before. How was she saying she didn't want to hurt him, but her father did, he was very confused.
"I don't understand" Jerry said.
"It's a very long story, could you please try to stay calm so I can tell you?" she asked him.
"Fine, I will try" he replied.
Huck and David arrived at the white house together. David thought there might be a problem with Huck, but he was allowed in without problem, Olivia had asked Fitz to get him security clearance before she left. David was even more nervous than the previous night, he didn't know how Fitz would react to Huck, and he was carrying more dangerous files. Instead of meting Fitz on the way to the meeting place, this time he was told to go there directly, when he arrived Fitz was already there nursing a glass of scotch.
"David" he acknowledged David, but then his eyes went to Huck, and immediately remembered Olivia asking him to clear Huck to enter the white house. A million things went through his head, but the most important one was that if Huck was there it meant Olivia sent him.
"Huck, right? Did Olivia sent you? Does she know this? Is she ok? Is she in danger?" He fired the questions at Huck.
"Well… It's kinda yes to all you said" huck answered. Fitz began to panic at the part of her being in danger.
"She did told me to find David, because she does know about the files… and she is not in immediate danger, she might be at some point if we don't figure this out" he explained.
Fitz was about to start firing questions at Huck again, but Huck talked again before he could.
"I will not answer any more questions regarding Olivia, it's in everyones best interest."
Fitz knew enough about Huck to realize he would get nothing out of him, David just looked at them confused, the whole situation was worse than when he lived at OPA.
"So… gentlemen, I guess we should get down to business" Fitz spoke and both the other guys sat down with him, David on a chair and Huck on a crate, since his presence was not expected.
They started going through the files, those were mostly about some shady missions command had planned, they didn't really seem to be in benefit of the nation. David looked completely terrified by the things he was reading, Fitz was a bit taken aback, but Huck didn't even flinch, he actually recognized a few things.
They worked mostly in silence and separated the parts that indicated Rowan had been working for some other benefit, rather than protecting the republic.
"So you are telling me, you dad runs the top secret spy organization of the country?"
Olivia nodded
"And he planned to kill me as some sick revenge against my dad for dating you"
She nodded again
"And Tom, secret service agent Tom, one the guys my dad trusts the most, is a traitor son of a bitch who almost killed me"
Olivia nodded again, despite the slight discomfort she got from hearing him use rather strong language, he was 15, but she still remembered the little 11-year-old sweet kid during the campaign.
"So you decided to fake my death, so your dad would forget about the whole thing, and you could plot against him" he continued
"And your mom is a terrorist, who was blamed for my death, so your father could be the boss of command, and my dad was totally played… by everyone" he concluded
Olivia sighed and nodded again.
"I know it's a lot to take in, but i swear all I wanted was to save your life, and to end my dad's reign of terror once and for all" she told him.
"Now you understand why we had to take you like this?" she asked Jerry
"I guess I do, but it's hard you know, to just trust what you are telling me it's true , how do I know you didn't went completely bonkers, and just faked my death because you lost your mind!" he said, confusion and fear all over his face.
"Yeah, but why would I do that, it doesn't make sense" she tried to reason with him.
"I guess you are right, but still, why can't my dad fix this without me being dead" he said exasperated "You make it sound like he has more power than my dad"
"He doesn't have more power, just different, everything you father does is official and goes on record, but what my father does, well he can get away with almost anything"
"Like killing me" Jerry told her
"Yes"
"And I thought my parents were messed up" he said with a smirk.
"Look I am really tired, maybe we should continue in the morning, I rather be well rested when I take all of your wires out" Olivia spoke calmly, trying to avoid another tantrum.
"You mean the needles on my veins and the tube on my junk" he said bitterly. "I'm not really sleepy, cause you know it's all I've been doing, but if you are tired I guess it's better for me if you rest"
"Hey, hmm I took this from your room at the white house before I left, I thought you might like to have it" she said as she took and ipod from a table in the room.
"Could you at least untie my hands so I can use it?" he asked "It's not like I can go anywhere without hurting myself in the process"
She thought about it for a moment, and then walked to the bed to untie his hands, he stretched his arms around and tried to sit up, only to realize he was tied from his midsection.
"Really? you wouldn't untie my hands, even though I can't even sit up" he said annoyed.
"I'm sorry, but you seem to still be doubtful about all these, and we can't risk it, also what if you fall asleep and she you wake up you panic again" She said trying to soothe him.
He considered it for a moment, and then he thought she was probably right, if he woke up and tried to run before he remembered, things would be pretty bad.
"Fine" he finally said "Will you tell me the rest tomorrow? And will I be able to eat actual food?" he asked
"Yes you will eat tomorrow, and I will tell you everything" Olivia replied
"Even about you and dad?" he inquired
"Yes, even about me and your father" Olivia answered.
She left the room after that and went to bed right away, she was exhausted, but she was also relieved. They still had a long way to go, but things went better than she had expected. At least he was not nearly comatose anymore and she just had to make sure he understood the severity of the problem, she just hoped the guys in DC could fix everything soon.
AN2: So, it was Jerry all along, next chapter will have the very complicated explanation of how they faked his death, you might find it a little far fetched, but so is the show most of the time. Please review, I love reading them, I really want to know what you guys think. Also if you want to tell me something whatever through some other way you can find me on tumblr as alexandra-castlekarevtribbiani
