Chapter 4


Sybil slammed the driver's side door with a huff. She couldn't believe Olivia. Olivia had kept that away from her. She wasn't angry, he could have anyone he wanted just not her. Sybil leaned back, trying not to think about Fitz and Amanda Tanner. Even though Fitz said he didn't she didn't believe him. The door opened, as Olivia went inside the car. Sybil and her sat in silence before Olivia started talking.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Olivia defended herself.

"I can believe you didn't tell me. We usually tell each other things so we don't go in blindly." Sybil argued.

"Would you have listened?" Olivia asked with the look Sybil knew too well.

"No, don't you dare turn this on me. I told you I never wanted to come back to that stupid house but no you dragged me along." Sybil complained.

"You were the one seeing him behind our backs, knowing he had a wife." Olivia says to her.

"I did know, and I told him it was wrong. Mellie is a good woman. a great woman. I can't control a man. Like all those things you and everyone else did for him. I may had slept with him within those two years but at least I didn't lie to him." Sybil threw in Olivia's face. 

Olivia stared at her cousin. She knew she was angry, she finally expressed what's was going on in that head of hers. She could never get her to really talk about what happen between her and Fitz.

"If the white castle is burning, let them burn. You may run to be his aid, but I'm done." Sybil ended the conversation. Sybil was very hurt right now as her and Olivia didn't say anything as she back out the parking lot driving to O.P.A.

Once they made it to O.P.A, Sybil headed inside as Olivia followed her. They took the elevator to their suite. Sybil walked inside heading to her office and shut herself in her office. Stephen, who heard the door slam, looked up.

"Sybil and you fighting again." Stephen says as Olivia walk in the open area. Harrison looked at her before staring at Sybil's office door.

"I'll go check on her." He said before getting up and going inside. Olivia and Stephen watched him before Abby stole their attention.

"Whoo-hoo! Paige is a whore! Paige is a whore! She was screwing some guy named Tom Henderson. She canceled on the embassy party to meet up with him. We have another viable suspect! Paige is a whore! I'm gonna run down Henderson, see if I can make something stick." Abby exclaimed.

Quinn stared at Abby like she was crazy as she cheerfully hops around as she found a lead. She looked up as Olivia called her name.

" Quinn, I need you to find out everything you can about an Amanda Tanner. You have an hour and then I need you to come with me." Olivia told her before leaving. 

Quinn went on to her task before the hour was up.

Sybil sat at her desk almost crying at the situation as she covered her face with her hands before hearing the door open and close.

"Sybil are you okay?" Harrison asked as he went over to comfort the girl.

"Am I a bad person?" Sybil asked as small tears left her eyes.

"No, you're a good person. You believe in me. you believe in Huck. You are an amazing woman." Harrison said as he caresses her back.

"I don't feel like one. Even with my dad as a King Pin, some things that I buried. Secrets that are trying to be unsurfaced when they just need to stay down." Sybil sniffled. 

Harrison hugged her. Comforting the woman that had his back over everything that happen. The one that help him with his own problems. 

"I'm here. I'm here. You don't have to carry this burden by yourself. That's why we're here. We're family. Anything that's bothering you, anything that's worrying things on that lovable heart of yours. Just tell me and I'll fix this for you." Harrison says as he held her close. Sybil stopping crying feeling his words as she lifts her head to whisper in his ear. Telling the one secret that been plaquing her heart since the past two years. Harrison eyes got big as she whispered it.

"We have to help them while working Sully's case." Sybil told Harrison, who felt like he was becoming her confidant.

"What's the problem?" Harrison asked her.

"A woman is going around saying she slept with him. They want us to shut her down." Sybil responded.

Harrison let out a breath before thinking about it.

"Did he?" Harrison questioned.

"He says no but something in my gut is telling me he's lying. God, I sound like a wife." Sybil huff moving away from him.

"Do the case." Harrison says.

"What?" Sybil gasped.

"Do the case. If you want to catch him in his lie. Do it. And give him hell for it. " Harrison told her before she thought about it. They heard Olivia 's voice call Quinn to let's go.

"Go." Harrison told her making her nodded, fixing herself before kissing Harrison's cheeks before leaving. Harrison stared at the door before blowing air out his mouth. Dragging his hands down his face.

Sybil hurried into the elevator before it went down. Olivia and she looked at each other before smiling, holding their hands. They had drove to Jeferson Park, where Quinn said Amanda liked to visit. The three women walked to Amanda, who watched her dog play before they caught her attention.

" Cute dog. Golden Retriever?" Olivia told her.

Quinn wanted to comment but Sybil gave her a look that made her be quiet as she watches Olivia work.

"Yeah. His name's Thomas Jefferson, which is lame, I know, but he's very presidential. Aren't you, T.J.?" Amanda says with a shy smile.

" Amanda, it would be a mistake to think there will be no consequences to you telling lies about the president." Olivia told her as Amanda now knew why she was there.

"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Amanda asked as she softly looked around as to make sure no one heard her.

"My name is Olivia Pope. And I want to be clear I'm not here on any official capacity. I'm only here to warn you, because you should know what could happen. It could become hard for you to find employment; your face would be everywhere. People would associate you with a sex scandal. All kinds of information about you would easily become available to the press. For example, you've had 22 sexual partners that we know of. Also, there's that ugly bout of gonorrhea. And your family your mother's mental illness a psychotic break, two years at Bedford Hospital. I bet that's private. She runs a daycare now, right?" Olivia tells Amanda whose jaw almost dropped.

"He told me he loved me. He gave me this dog." Amanda said to them.

 Olivia side eyed Sybil who wanted to be anywhere but there. She could see that glimmer of anger burning so bright. 

"See, it's that kind of lies that could hurt you if you said them to other people not as nice as me. I'll give you some free advice. Hand in your resignation and pack up your dog and your things and get in your car and go. Find a small city Minneapolis, maybe, or Denver, get a little job, meet a boring boy, make some friends. Because in this town, your career is over. You're done." Olivia expressed to her as Amanda wanted to defend herself.

" Why are you doing this to me? I'm a good person." Amanda sniffled as two tears started to drip down her face.

"You know who else was a good person? Monica Lewinsky. And she was telling the truth, but she still got destroyed." Olivia said to her before they all walk away. 

" If you get subpoenaed in front of a grand jury, you can testify as an officer of the court that I was working on my own. I didn't blackmail or threaten her. If you don't get subpoenaed, this never happened." Olivia stated to Quinn, who now understood why Sybil gave her that look.

Quinn left the two as they walk away before Olivia called Cyrus.

"It's handled." Olivia told him before hanging up.

Sybil sat in her two-story townhouse as she watched the news, showing Mellie and Fitz coming home. Getting off the plane as Sybil dial the number that she stole from Olivia's phone.

"Cyrus Beene." Cyrus says into the phone.

"Put him on. I just need a second." Sybil told him as she watched Fitz.

"Sybil? How you got this number?" Cyrus asked.

" Olivia gave it to me. Just in case I had any updates. Put him on." Sybil tells him as Cyrus huff before doing it.

"Sybil needs you." Cyrus told Fitz, who looked at the phone almost taking it in the process, but Cyrus ignored it.

"Hi, Sybil." Fitz says into the phone.

" Did you buy her a dog?" Sybil asked him with no type of emotion in her voice.

"What?" Fitz asked like he didn't understand what she was asking him.

"Just answer the question." Sybil told him as she looked at his face on tv.

"No, of course not. Why do you ask?" Fitz asked her.

"Do me a favor. Turn your head a little to the left. Okay. Sorry. Forget I asked. Thank you, Mr. President." Sybil says as Fitz followed her words so she could see his face before she hung up. She got up going to shower and change into something comfy so she could meet back up later with the crew later for their overnight findings.


(Sorry if I'm dragging out episode 1 of Scandal. I'm trying to have where I update everyday with scenes that I think is important in the world of Sybil before I have SOA come into play)
