Hey everyone! I was kinda iffy on this chapter. I'm not sure how I feel about it. But I hope you all like it! :)

"Mom?"

"Livvie. Look how you've grown!" Maya exclaimed, running towards her.

She went to hug her, but Olivia slowly backed away.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see your mother?"

When Fitz noticed that Olivia was too stunned to talk, he stepped in. "We thought you were dead?"

"That's a very long story. There's no time to explain."

"What's going on?" he asked.

"You guys need to get out of here. Eli has sent a man after you."

"Eli as in…?"

"My father." Olivia spoke up.

"Precisely. You need to go."

"What happened to Tom and Hal?" he asked.

"Like I said, they were unconscious when I got here. But Eli has sent someone after you. Real cute looking, in his 30's."

"Jake." Olivia and Fitz said in unison.

"I know you must have so many questions, dear. And in time, I will be happy to answer them. But you need to get to safety." she said, as she looked over at Fitz. "You as well."

"Wh…where do we go?" Olivia asked.

"I know a place. They'll never find us." Fitz offered.

"What if Jake sees us?"

"Leave that up to me. You two find a way out of here. I'll stay here and when he comes, I'll hit him with something. Trust me dear, I know what I'm doing."

"Come on Liv. We need to go."

"Leave your phones here. They'll track them. Buy two track phones with cash when you get far enough away. Here's the number to my untraceable phone. Call me when you get to where you are. Do not call anyone else from here until I tell you it is safe."

"Mom, he's the President of the United States. There are going to be people looking for him within hours."

"You're sleeping with the President?"

Olivia gulped as her and Maya just stared at each other.

"With all due respect ma'am, now is not the time." Fitz said.

"Right. I'm sorry. Just…go. Like I said, no one can find you if they don't know where you're going, you don't use credit cards, and you lose your cell phones."

"Whose car are we going to take? They'll be looking for mine."

"Call Huck."

"There's no time!" Olivia exclaimed.

"She's right. Just get out of the area and then call your friend."

Olivia started packing essentials hurriedly. "Ready Liv?"

"I'm ready. Let's go."

They started heading towards the door when Olivia stopped and turned around.

"Promise me you'll be here when I get back?" Liv asked.

"I will try my best. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters."

Olivia ran and hugged her. "I love you mom. I'm sorry I didn't say that before."

"It's quite all right dear. Now hurry, you need to get going."

Jake exited the elevator, smiling at the fact that the gas he used to knock out Tom and Hal worked. He walked over to the door, turning the knob to see if it was unlocked. Jackpot, it was. He slowly and quietly opened the door, sneaking his way in.

Once he closed the door, he was hit on the head with something, falling to the ground.

"That will teach you not to mess with my daughter."

30 minutes later

Jake's eyes fluttered as he tried to open his eyes. His consciousness was slowly coming back to him. When he was fully awake again, he realized that he was tied to a chair, hands and feet bound with tape over his mouth. He wondered what in the hell had happened. Who got the jump on him? He then saw a woman walk out, though he didn't recognize her at first.

"Well look who's awake." she said, walking over and ripping the tape off of his mouth.

He screamed in pain. "Son of a bitch!" he yelled. "Who the hell are you?"

"Who am I? Who are you?"

"I'm not telling you a damn thing."

"Alright, Jake."

"How do you know my name? Who are you? Where's Olivia?"

"Somewhere safe where you can't hurt her."

"Hurt her? I would never."

Maya laughed. "That's why you broke in. That's why you had a gun on you."

"I always carry a gun. I don't trust anyone."

"But yet you trust Eli?"

"Eli? Who the hell is Eli?"

"Oh, you must know him as Rowan."

"You know Rowan?"

"Very well. He's not the type of person you want to put your trust in to."

Jake kept staring at her, as he began to recognize her.

"You're…Olivia's mother." he stated.

"Indeed I am. You're the guy that was sent to harm my Livy and her boyfriend."

Jake gulped. "Not Olivia. Just Fitz."

"Rowan must be very peeved that his daughter is in a relationship with the President of the United States."

"You have no idea. He's no good for her."

"I beg to differ. He seemed very protective over her. I could tell that he loved her."

"That may be true, but he's still an ass. He doesn't deserve her."

A light bulb instantly went off in Maya's head. "You have a thing for her, don't you?"

He put his head down. "You do. Then why would you want to her hurt and the man that she loves? I get you're jealous, but it would completely destroy her. She's already had enough bad things happen to her."

"Like your apparent death? How are you alive?"

"I'm guessing you're a part of B613? Well, I was too…a long time ago. I made a couple bad decisions and people wanted me dead. Rowan, my husband, was assigned to kill me. But he loved me and didn't want to do that, so he made it look like I died on that plane and kept me locked in a cell for over 20 years."

"How did you get out?"

"That part I'd rather not talk about. I did some pretty drastic things. I've been following Olivia for a couple of weeks now, waiting for the right time to make my presence known. I overheard your conversation with Rowan and I knew they were in trouble. So now here we are."

"Yes, I was told to kill Fitz. But I wasn't going to do it. Fitz and I were friends not too long ago."

"Until your attraction to Olivia began, I assume?"

He nodded. "I hated him, especially when I found out that he shot down the plane that you were supposed to be on. He told Olivia and they didn't speak for a while. She hated him. I tried being there for her. She even let me sometimes. But then they started talking again, Rowan found out, and he wanted him dead."

"Typical Eli." she sighed. "You seem like a good man."

"I try to be ma'am. I love your daughter. I would never want to hurt her."

"Then you need to stop conspiring with Eli."

"It's not that easy ma'am. He owns us. He controls us. There's no getting rid of him."

"He needs to be stopped Jake. I'm going to need your help to do so."

"Does he know you're alive?"

"Yes."

"So…he's known this whole time?"

"Indeed he has. You cannot trust him."

"Where are Liv and Fitz?"

"Somewhere safe. That's all I know."

"It's a beautiful house. New, but built to last. The ceilings are made from local wood. It's even got a fireplace, built up by hand. The house has orchards, 30 acres. There's an incredible little green house just off the kitchen. You should see the kitchen, it has marble counter tops. I was hoping you would get to see it at least once. I just wish it was under different circumstances."

"What is this place?" she asked, looking around and admiring its beauty.

"This house is yours…ours. I had it built for us. When it looked like there was a chance for us I bought the land and had it built. I can't really be mayor someday, but you could make jam. There are bedrooms for lots of kids. This is going to be you and me raising a family and growing old together in this house. It's going to be our house Livvie. I wanted you to see our dream."

She ran over and kissed him hard. "You…did this…for us."

He nodded. "Everything is for you Livvie."

She kissed him again. "Do you think we'll be safe here?" she asked.

"There's only about five people that know about this place, including me. It will be pretty damn hard for anyone to find us."

"Well it looks like we get to live out the dream for a couple days." she said with a smile.

"Or a couple weeks." he said.

She walked away from him, looking around the house.

"Where did you say the master bedroom was again?"

He walked over, grabbing her hand.

"Come on, I'll show you."
