Olivia looked around her office trying get a clue. Something that could help her with her mission. There was a 50/50 chance the documents were hidden in her office. Huck was smart. But little did he know, she had an edge over him. They deprogramed a lot out of him. She was fresh off advance training. She walked around knocking on walls and picking up random objects. Her mind regressed back to her training. How could she forget? She went to her purse pulling out a little black box. She casually walked around her office scanning for bugs. When she was satisfied there weren't any, she began looking around the office again. She walked to the wall on the right side of the office. There was a large armoire against the wall. She glanced around the room looking at the furniture. Something was not right. It clashed. The armoire clashed with the color scheme. She turned looking at a bookshelf in the corner behind her and the desk to her left. The desk and bookshelf were the same color. She started walking to the armoire when her cell phone began to ring. She retreated away deciding to come back to it later. She glanced at the caller id hoping for the President but it was Cyrus.

"Cyrus! How are you?"

"What is going on with our boy?"

"Our boy?" Olivia asked slightly confused.

"The President. Our work baby. Mellie just told me he turn you down. She was upset which confused me. Did he give you a reason?"

"No. I was hoping you could shed some light on it for me. It was a complete surprise."

"Well, maybe I need to go have a conversation with him. I'll make him call you personally to accept your offer of assistance. He needs you. Hopefully it will go better this time."

"Groveling at my feet. I love the sound of that."

"Wouldn't be the first time, now would it?" Cyrus said with a laugh then hanging up.

Olivia withdrew the phone from her ear with a perplexed look. Wouldn't be the first time? What the hell did that mean?

Fitz waited as the phone rung. He usually had to wait three rings before he received an answer. What was really going on around here lately? Not even lately. What has been going on since the campaign trail? Everyone has literally lost their damn minds. Fitz heard a click then breathing over the phone.

"It's secure."

"How secure?" The voice on the other end asked.

"Like only three people know about this line."

"Who are those three people."

"Me, you and Tom."

"You are positive Olivia knows nothing about this line?"

"I never called her from it."

"Good." An exhale passed through the line as silence set in.

"How is she?"

"She is...present."

"She was here."

"She didn't tell me."

"I figured she wouldn't."

"Mr. President, does she seem different?"

"A completely different person."

Huck looked through the window into Olivia's office. She was busy typing away on her laptop. She was in a world her own. "Can you get away?"

"Give me a time." Fitz said standing to his feet, reaching for his jacket.

"Usually time and place."

"I'll see you there."

"And sir?"

"Yes Huck?"

"Be extra careful. I have a...just be careful."

"Huck." Fitz said almost as if he was asking what was wrong.

"I'll tell you when I know more."

He ended the call but stayed rooted in his spot. He stared at the screen until it locked and a black screen stared back. The hair on the back of his neck slowly stood.

"Huck." Olivia whispered close to him.

He jumped away putting distance between them. He rubbed his sweating palms against his pants as he calmed himself down. Olivia knew not to sneak up behind him. She knew he did not like people in his immediate and person space.

"Yes, Olivia."

"Are you okay? You looked a little freaked earlier. Like you seen a ghost from the past or something."

Huck studied her posture. "No, I'm find. Just trying to wait on some information about a case. I'm tired of waiting."

"Well a smart man once told me Patience is key. You can always out wait them." She smiled.

"I have to go." Huck hurried to his office. He pressed a few keys on his computers and his other gadgets. He grabbed his coat and a bag before giving another look around the room. He walked out of his office, closing the door behind him. The gang was all standing around the table in the wall room. He let his eyes linger over the scene as if he was looking for something. Olivia was sitting at the table with her legs crossed. She bounced her heel loosely off the tip of her toes. Abby offer some breakthrough that caused Olivia to stand to her feet. She started walking around the table toward the wall. She came back into view a few moments later as she paced back and forth. She sudden stopped as if she had an epiphany. She stood with her arms folded behind her crossed in the small of her back. That was the tip he was waiting on. That told him all he needed to know. She glanced toward him and stared. And he stared back.

Olivia dismissed herself from her team saying she had to make a call.

"It's done."

"The trail?"

"No. I'm still working on that one. The errant spy? He caught it."

"Are you sure?"

"He went in his office, typed something in his computer which was probably a self destruct code and came out with his stuff. He's been watching me since I came in this morning. I saw the realization on his face...He knows."

"Good Job, Heir. You are truly living up to your potential." Rowan answered with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." She gushed.

Olivia ended the call with a smile. One down, one to go. Then the fun could really start.
