Olivia took another sip of her wine and looked over to see Jake asleep. She hated to admit that he was quite good looking. How someone who was that angelic could harbor so many evil secrets. She peeped out the window to see the Pacific and the Space Needle. Clouds seemed to surround the plane as it continued through the sky. Suddenly , the plane began to drop. She took her hands and stirred Jake.

"Jake, wake up. I don't know what 's going plane seems to be dropping." Olivia panicked. Jake got up from his seat and headed toward the cockpit. Acting on Rowan's orders, he demanded to know what was going on.

"What is the meaning of this?" Jake said to the pilot. "Seattle isn't our destination. We are still in American airspace."

"I just received confirmation from the tower that this plane has been ordered to land in Seattle . Executive orders, Captain Ballard." The pilot stated.

"By whose orders?" Jake inquired.

"By order of the President " the pilot obediently said. Jake knew what was going on . He had a feeling this is what was going to happen. Fitz had tracked her down and was determined to bring her back. He had his orders as well. He knew that he was to keep them apart , at all costs. Now she would see him and then probably run back to Washington. He hoped she would stay strong, and now weaken.

"Well what's going on?" Olivia asked as Jake made his way back from the cockpit.

"We're landing. The plane has been ordered to land in Seattle." Jake replied.

Olivia put her hand to her temple and took a large swig. Why the hell couldn't he just let her go? Why did he have to go chasing her. After all, everything was her fault. She killed Jerry. She was running and she needed to be rid of him once and for all.

"Please fasten your seat belts." The flight attendant ordered as the plane continued the approach into Seattle. "We will be landing per executive order at McChord AFB."

The plane began its approach to the Air Force base that was about 40 miles south of Seattle. Olivia 's stomach was tied in knots . She knew what would happen when they landed. She would be forced to confront Fitz with all his childishness and jealousy. Honestly, even though he was a man in his fifties, he could still act like a spoiled child. He was very competitive as well, and this was definitely the case with Jake. It was a testosterone contest with these two.

Olivia felt the plane drop as the wheels went down on the tarmac. She scanned the sights and saw the black limousine and two other cars. She also saw Air Force One standing idle and probably ready to take off at a moment's notice. Taking her hands, she rubbed her temples and braced herself for the confrontation.

He sat in his seat as the plane had landed. It fought every impulse in his head to not want to take a drink. But Fitz knew that he had to be clear headed , he needed to be able to say what was in his heart. He needed to know why she left and he also wanted it out with Ballard once and for all. He had every hope in his heart that she was returning with him. Mellie surprised him when she let him go off and find Olivia. Maybe there was hope for them yet.

Looking in the mirror, he hated to admit his vain side. He knew for a man of his age, he looked quite well. There was a reason for him being named the POTUS with the mostess. He could even consider himself a sex symbol since women absolutely worshipped him. Following the shooting, he even remembers Mellie saying to the press he wouldn't come out until he had the hair grow over the surgical scar on his head. Derek had admitted that another thing that they shared was that both men had been the victim of a shooting. Derek had told him that a man had lost his wife and then came gunning for revenge. He had almost died that day, except his wife's best friend in the world did the surgery to save his life. He told Fitz how he owed Dr Cristina Yang his life. Fitz couldn't tell him that his shooting was the result of his own machinations and Defiance.

Confident, he threw his best smile at the mirror and then walked toward the stairs. Olivia saw him walk down the stairway , fully accompanied by Tom and Hal. She had to admit that her heart leapt as she saw his familiar steely eyes and brown curly hair that she took great pleasure in caressing. She also could see the lines around the eyes. It had been obviously that he hadn't been sleeping. She could even see the beginning of grey around the temples from worry. She also could see how the Armani suit hugged every curve on that body she loved so well.

Olivia stood with her Burberry trench around her. She was carrying a Prada purse and had her hands folded. Fitz leaned over to give her a kiss and she turned her head to avert it.

"Livvie? Why did you leave me?" he asked earnestly.

"Because I am no good. I ruin people, I corrupt them, and I kill good people. Everyone would be better off if I disappeared and that is what I was trying to do. I don't deserve your love and you need to be with Mellie and help her through the grief." Olivia said fighting every word she said.

The wind blew through and caused his hair to fall down in his face. She wanted more than anything to run to his arms and then brush his curl away from his eyes.

"I called you because I need you. Everyone tried to get a hold of you and the phone just kept ringing. I needed you Liv, I still need you and I am not going anywhere until I take you back to DC." Fitz demanded. At that point , he saw Jake coming toward him.

"She deserves some peace, she deserves to stand in the sun" Jake said defensively. "She will never be free unless she forgets you ."

She doesn't need you , Ballard. At least, I have never attacked this woman or injured her. I have only had her best interests in mind. That is why I had you follow her in the first place." Fitz insisted.

Jake knew it was all going to come down to this. "The reason that you had me follow her in the first place was because you wanted to know if she was with someone else. That's because you are still the spoiled little rich boy that always has to have his way. You refuse to see that you can't have your cake and eat it too. You have led her on for years, saying you will get a divorce and then marry her and make her First Lady. You are never going to leave your comfy little life." Jake sneered. "Stop being so selfish, and let her go." He yelled.

Fitz took a step forward. "I am warning you , Ballard. I will mop up the floor with you. I was Navy too and I can still kick your ass."

The two men were face to face. Olivia just shook her head and then screamed. "I am not a prize that two overgrown fly boys can fight over. I am tempted to just leave the both you alone to your schoolyard scrapple. I left because I made my own decision. It wasn't Jake or anyone else. I am a grown woman and free to do what I please."

Ignoring her, Fitz took a swing and hit Jake in the chest. His hit was so powerful that it knocked Jake to the pavement. Jake couldn't stop staring at Fitz with blazing eyes as he slowly got up .

"Not bad for an old man." Fitz sneered. The SS agents were very cautious but remained around in case they were needed. "I can handle this one , boys. " he said as Jake started to lead with a punch to Fitz's eyes. When he hit him, he fell backwards and then smacked his head on the ground. The agents immediately grabbed Jake and hand cuffed him. They threw him to the floor and screamed at him. "By order of the Patriot Act, you are under arrest." Jake continued to struggle as he tried to fight the SSA agents.

Olivia watched with terror. She walked over to Fitz, and held his head. "Baby, baby, are you alright?" she asked him. There was no response and his eyes were closed. She saw the blood pouring from his head. Tom saw it too and immediately picked up his radio.

"Eagle is down. Repeat Eagle is down." Tom said as the ambulance sped toward the scene. He looked over to Olivia. They both knew it was a delayed reaction to the brain injuries from the shooting. They had to get Fitz to a hospital and immediately to save his life again. Olivia felt like she was in the middle of a bad dream again. She grabbed his hand and then sobbed.

"I will never forgive you for this Jake." She cursed.
