Chapter 13: Pt 2
D.C. TV STUDIO
"Look, I can speculate all day long as to why the most powerful man in the world would want to throw it all away for some tawdry affair, but I think we should let President Grant speak for himself," Billy told the interviewer.
"Here it is, folks. Your President." The reporter said before playing the tape.
"Take off your clothes." The Tape Fitz's voice says.
WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE
Sybil had walked in getting their attention. Olivia hugged her cousin, whom she had missed so much. Sybil held Olivia so tight as she kissed her cheek before they let go of each other.
"I see the white castle is in need," Sybil said to them.
"It's good that you're here, Sybil," Fitz tells her with a small smile.
"Yeah." Sybil and him just stared at each other before she added.
"We have to get yo- us out of this." Sybil put down her purse.
"Cyrus." Sybil nodded to Cyrus who still remembered the threat that was told to him by Fitz. Even when he said he wasn't afraid, he was. The mobster's daughter scared him a lot. She was very unpredictable and smart.
"Sybil." Cyrus nods slowly back.
" So, what we got?" Sybil asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Fitz was going to put on the front while we continue calling everyone," Olivia tells Sybil making her nod before she motions Fitz to leave.
"Deflect. Deflect and Good luck." Sybil told him as he tried not to smile at how bossy she was. It was only just them now as they got busy.
"No President has done more to put women at the forefront of his administration," Olivia tells the person on the phone.
"Oh, okay. Yeah. Like hell, you will, Senator." Cyrus argued.
"Your organization endorsed him in the election ..." Sybil called out before being hung up on before crossing off the name she was talking to.
" Okay, fine. We can switch from frenemies to enemies. I'm flexible ..." Cyrus says before hanging up.
"... and I need you to stand firm. Yes!" Olivia said as she motioned for Sybil to check by the person she was talking to name.
"... I'm easy, you stupid, ungrateful son of a bitch." Cyrus motion his head sideways making Sybil cross out that person's name.
Sybil annoyed slouched in her chair as they thought what else they could do. Until she got an idea, she stood up making them look at her.
"I know that look. What are you thinking about?" Olivia asked her cousin.
"Do you remember Jason? Sybil asked her.
"You're casual. yes, why?" Olivia wondered.
"Just wait, I have to do something," Sybil says as she rushes from the room.
Olivia and Cyrus looked at each other, wondering what she was thinking.
Jason's Office (Washington, D.C)
Jason Deluca was an older guy in his early 30s to mid 30s, he was very handsome, and he reminded her of Fitz, a lot. He was also the second billionaire in the world, who she had respected. He didn't expect to see Sybil in his office. Walking with her head held high and a beautiful smile on her face.
" I need you to do something for me," Sybil asked as she kissed his cheek sitting down.
" What is it?" Jason asked.
"I need you to take the fall for the president," Sybil stated.
"What?" he questioned.
"I just need you to make a statement. Say that it is you. Everyone already knows your status. " Sybil said in depth.
Jason was a ladies' man. He got around more than toilet tissue. His voice reminded her of Fitz, that's why she liked him so much.
"What's in it for me?" Jason asked.
Sybil knew he would be like that. But to help out Fitz, she would do this for him. Sybil walks over to him, her manicured nails dragging across his desk before she leans down to whisper what couldn't be heard if anyone was listening in. Jason sat stoically before Sybil sat down back in her chair.
"I'll do it," Jason tells her.
"Thank you, see you tonight." Sybil kisses his cheek before leaving as he watches.
"Time to start chaos! Maggie, get DC on the line." Jason exclaims before leaning back in his chair.
WHITE HOUSE - COURTYARD
Fitz went to meet up with Sally to talk about Billy, who was causing all this drama. He was so pissed off, he hopes this would finally free him, so he could finally be with Sybil. Sally stood waiting for him.
"So, you think Billy Chambers is the problem, and I'm somehow the solution?" Sally asked Fitz, as he put his hands in his pockets.
"Let's not be coy with one another, Sally. Billy's your boy. Are you saying you had--" Fitz remarks before getting cut off by Sally.
" No idea. Not. You saw me when I read that letter. I was as shocked as you were, Mr. President. Now whatever menage a trois you and Billy Chambers have got going on with that poor dead girl, I have nothing to do with and I want nothing to do with. Now I offer to keep you both in my prayers and remain a humble servant to both God and my President. In that order." Sally responded before they just stood in silence before Fitz walked off.
MEN'S BATHROOM
Sybil and Olivia went to go find Billy, who had just finished using the restroom. She didn't tell Olivia her plan, but she knew that Olivia would be mad at her. Billy looked up to see them.
"I'm surprised you made it through all the press out there. I've lost count of how many interviews I've given over the last few days. I know you didn't come in here to use the men's room. You might as well say it." Billy told them.
"You're a murder," Olivia tells him.
"I am not proud of that. Hell, I-I didn't think I'd get away with it. I didn't hear from the police, so I asked around and heard that they didn't find a single fingerprint, not even the murder weapon. Some angel cleaned up the crime scene." Billy smugly tells them.
"Not Quite," Sybil tells him, making Billy look at her.
"What?" Billy questioned.
"I have a feeling they will be seeing you very soon." She smirked at him before Olivia took over.
" What the hell happened to you?" Olivia questioned him.
"Look, I know what I did, okay? I made a mistake. A big one, and I'm gonna be judged for it. But he should be judged for what he's done, too. He took advantage of that girl, or your poor cousin Sybil. He took advantage of the whole damn country. He betrayed the very people who elected him. Good, honest, God-fearing people elected that man to office, and he promised things to us! And he didn't deliver on any of it. I mean, come on, Liv, the whole country's going off the rails." Billy says with a look to Sybil.
" I don't think that defense is gonna work in court, Billy," Olivia tells him.
"By the time I'm in jail, Sally Langston will be President. And she is going to be the finest President this country has ever known, and that's all that matters. I got Chris Matthews waiting." Billy walks out. Sybil stared at him before calling Klaus. He still had all the crime scenes. Soon he would be in jail but not in the way he wanted.
US DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Sybil and Olivia showed up at David's office. Harrison and Quinn sat in his office as they walked in hearing their last conversation.
"Here I thought your boss was the biggest pain in the ass in D.C. Speak of the devil," David said when he saw them.
"David, new shirt? I like it." Olivia tells him.
"What the hell's going on, Liv?" David questioned Olivia.
"You don't have to answer that," Harrison called out but Olivia responded.
"Yeah, I do."
"So the Vice President's Chief of Staff convinced Amanda Tanner to seduce the President of the United States ..." David mentions.
"Yes." Olivia nods.
" And then he abducted her from your apartment and killed her when she wouldn't go through with the intense media scrutiny her accusations would bring, dumping her body in the river for my people to find?" David ended.
"Well, he contracted out, but, yes, Billy had her killed," Olivia states.
"Debatable," Sybil says making Olivia and David look at her.
"Continue." Sybil motioned to Olivia.
Olivia tried not to roll her eyes at her crazy cousin. She missed her so much.
"He then went on to murder a reporter who was presumably quite close to figuring out what he was up to?" David continued.
" Yes." Olivia nods.
" A reporter who was also sleeping with one of your employees, whose presence at the crime scene your associates erased all evidence of, thereby rendering the first-degree murder of an innocent 29-year-old man all but unsolvable," David comments again.
"Yes." She nodded again. Sybil wanted to get this over with. This talk was taking too long.
"He killed the reporter and he set Amanda up for failure. Sadly, she ended up the way that she did. In 4 hours, the crime scene would be in your office. His fingerprints are still on the scissors used and Gideon's body will be where you can find it. You go after Billy Chambers, You hit him with as many years as you can give him. Am I understood?" Sybil cut in making David look at her.
"Yeah," David told her slowly.
"Say I understand," Sybil tells him.
"I understand." David looked at Olivia, who almost looked proud of her cousin.
"Great. We'll meet at O.P.A before the 24 hours is up." Sybil tells everyone in the room before leaving.
"Well, that's our Sybil," Harrison says as he tries not to smile.
Jax's POV (Charming, California)
Jax sat in his meeting room as he looked at Juice's folder. To know that he had sold them out to Roosevelt and Potter pissed him off. He could tell Sybil liked to be one step ahead. Now that just made him think of what else could she teach him that could help in the long run. He needed Bobby and Happy. He finally got up. He walked out, as Chibs and Tig looked at him.
"Get Bobby and Happy now. We need to talk." Jax tells them making Chibs nod.
"Gotcha' Jackie Boy," Chibs said as he went to get Bobby and Happy.
"Jax, what's going on?" Tig asked.
"A lot." Jax vaguely says before Chibs finally shows up with Bobby and Happy.
"What is it, Jax?" Bobby asked.
"Come inside," Jax tells them as they all go in.
He tossed the folder to them as they read the name.
"Juice? Why do you have this?" Bobby questioned.
"Open it," Jax ordered.
Bobby opens his folder as they now see why.
"Juice is the rat. Miles was innocent. Sybil says that he ratted because they were blackmailing him about his black father." Jax tells them.
"How did she get this?" Bobby asked.
"She likes to be one step ahead. Clay visited Opie telling him to go inside with me. Thankfully before Opie could be dead, Sybil came to rescue him. He's still alive. " Jax tells Bobby and Happy.
"Why would she help you?" Happy wondered.
"She has her motives and interests," Jax says using the wording of Damon Pope.
"And what that had to with us?" Tig asked.
"She's going to be our partner. She wants to help us." Jax tells them.
"You telling me that Damon Pope's daughter wants to help the crew that had a hand in her sister's death," Bobby comments as Chibs, Tig, and Jax look at him.
"I don't know but we could use her, Bobby. She and her father have higher people in places that could help us in the long run. Here's the plan, we need to get out of the gun business. Things are changing the rules that we have we have to make new ones. Shit like this can never happen again. If we have to have a little help along the way, then so be it. Jax said with a serious look on his face as he pointed down at Juice's file.
"So, what are we going to do about Juice?" Happy says.
"We watch him. Use his talents until we get him. Get him off of Clay duty and put Rat Boy on Clay duty. Welcome to the new Era. We need to have a meeting on the rules, but the race part is void at this point. Anyone can join." Jax stated as they listened to him. Chibs and Tig looked at each other.
"Okay, when do we see Opie?" Bobby asked.
"After his funeral." Jax plainly stated before leaving the boys inside. The silence was clear, Sybil Pope was lighting a fire of determination in his eyes they had never seen before. Happy can't wait to see how this will turn out.
WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE
Sybil stood with Olivia, Fitz, and Cyrus as they talked.
"What do we do? What's next?" Fitz asked mostly looking at Sybil for answers.
"Maybe Sybil can get up there and say it's her," Olivia said looking at her silent cousin who kept looking at her phone.
"That's ridiculous. What-- what does that even do for us?" Cyrus expresses.
"He's not tied to a girl's suicide. It's not perfect, but it takes care of the impeachment problem." Olivia tells him as Fitz still looks at Sybil, who ignores them.
" Oh, wonderful, so now we've got a slutty President problem? He slept with two women. I'm sorry. I just ... Maybe there's another option we're not seeing here." Cyrus argued.
"There is. I could resign. We all know how this goes. The prosecutor is appointed. Every single person in the west wing is deposed. This thing is a circus that's gonna go on for the next three years. I'll wear it around my neck Until the end of my term. My hands will be tied. I'll be lucky if I can get a Parks and Rec bill passed. Let's put the country out of its misery, end it now." Fitz said making Sybil look up from her phone as they stared at each other.
" And then what?" Cyrus said.
" We go by regular people, Cy." Fitz's obvious tone in his voice.
"You can't be a regular person. We--we can't. We're not ... I ... I can't adopt a baby!" Cyrus shouts before looking at Sybil.
"Sybil, please an idea!" Cyrus shouted.
Sybil stood up looking at them.
"Watch your tone. Cut on the TV on D.C" Sybil says as Olivia goes to the nearest room, and they follow her. Cutting on the TV, they showed Jason Deluca with a fellow interviewer. Olivia looked at Sybil.
"Is that-" Olivia started before Sybil shushed her.
"Thank you for joining us, Mr. Deluca." The interviewer tells him.
"Thank you, I'm happy to be here. To set things right." Jason said.
"Yes, regarding the sex tape that Billy Chambers came forward with." The interviewer said to him.
"Actually, on the tape is me. Not the president, it's kind of upsetting that this was recorded to be used against our president." Jason revealed.
"Who is this guy?" Fitz asked looking between Sybil and Olivia.
"Ex-lover of mine," Sybil comments making Fitz stare at her.
"Him?" Fitz scoffed.
"Now is not the time to get jealous, he's helping you." Sybil starts.
"How old is he?" Fitz asked.
"Oh please, don't start that age crap. You shouldn't ask that." Sybil remarked pointing at him.
"Both of you are quiet," Olivia stated as they continued watching.
"Is the woman Amanda Tanner?" The interviewer asked.
"No, it's someone I knew back then," Jason answered.
"So, Billy Chambers lied. You never met Amanda Tanner." Interviewer says.
"Never met her, it's someone else. I want to apologize to the president myself for this. I hate that this part of myself was recorded for all the world to hear." Jason explained.
Cyrus's phone buzzed.
"We're up 70%. Everyone has started We're sorry Mr. President tag and Take Billy Chambers to jail tag. Jason's tag #HotDilf Material is trending online" Cyrus says.
"And that's how to nip that in the bud. You're welcome." Sybil proudly said with a smile. Olivia smiled at her cousin as Fitz sadly smiled knowing he wouldn't be able to now be with her.
"Can you guys give me and Sybil a minute?" Fitz asked making Olivia and Cyrus look at him.
"Fit-" Cyrus started to say but Fitz cut him off.
"Please." making Olivia and Cyrus look at each other before walking out.
Fitz and Sybil stood in silence before Fitz spoke.
"I didn't want to be saved. I wanted to resign so I could finally be with you." Fitz tells her.
"Our ship has sailed a long time ago," Sybil spoke.
"No, our ship hasn't sailed yet. I don't ever want it to sail. I love you. I will always love you." Fitz walked close to her as he pulled her to him.
"Fitz, you need to look at the bigger picture. You President of the United States and Me Mobster's daughter. As much as I love- Sybil cut herself off making Fitz almost smile at her realization.
"You love me." Fitz touches her face softly.
"Still do," Sybil said as He pressed a soft kiss to her lips leaving her wanting more.
"Mm, the cameras," Sybil mentions once he backs up.
"I don't care." He said pressing a kiss again to her mouth as they kissed some more.
"I can't get enough of you," Sybil whispers before they pull back.
"Same." He whispers.
"I look into your boys Samcro. What are you planning Sybil?" Fitz asked.
"I just need them to be vetoed from their case. " Sybil looks up at him.
"Okay, I'll call the bureau, C.I.A anyone you need," Fitz stated.
"Thank you," Sybil says before kissing his cheeks and walking away as he watches her.
OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES
Sybil was the last one to meet at O.P.A. When she walked in, Olivia and Stephen were talking.
"I got this," Stephen mentioned as Sybil wondered what was going on.
"I've been screwing around on Georgia. I don't want to lie anymore. I'm gonna tell her the truth, and then she'll break off the engagement. I tried Liv. I leapt. You said if I tried and failed, it was not on me. You were wrong. I cheated. It is on me. And it's on you, too. It's always on you." Stephen tells her.
" Stephen," Sybil called out making them look at her.
"Olivia is not the blame for your cheating. She will never be. No one told you to use that type of method to gain information. No matter the cost, so it's on you nobody else." Sybil tells off Stephen.
Olivia smiled at her defense before Stephen said something that made Sybil look at Olivia.
"And You can't have him." Sybil stared at Olivia with narrowed eyes. Only two people knew about her and Fitz and that was Olivia and Harrison. She knew Harrison wouldn't say anything, so Olivia had to.
"Sybil," Olivia says.
"You told him," Sybil stated.
"I'm sorry." Olivia's doe-like eyes stared at her.
"Once I'm done here, you won't be seeing me for a while," Sybil says before walking into the building.
"Sybil. Sybil." Olivia called out to her.
Sybil walks into her office. Harrison followed behind her.
"I saw Jason on TV. You asked him to take the blame didn't you." Harrison smiled at her. He saw her face.
"What's wrong?" He asked her.
"Stephen knows about Fitz and I," Sybil replied.
"How? I never told anyone." Harrison said to him.
"Olivia, of course." Sybil rolled her eyes.
"What?" Harrison questioned. This is not the Olivia he knew.
"Right," Sybil says before the door opens revealing Huck.
"Huck, Hi," Sybil says as he walks forward.
" Billy Chambers-- I can take care of that," Huck told them.
"No, don't touch him. Let's see what happens." Sybil answers.
"Okay." Huck nodded.
"Just wait Huck please." Sybil verbalized before her phone buzzed. She looked at her phone, showing a text from Mellie.
To: Sybil
From: Mellie
I need to talk to you.
"I have to go. I'm meeting with Mellie. Harrison checked on Quinn; Klaus was supposed to come by to drop off the scissors. And Huck remember what I said okay." Sybil said getting her stuff and leaving out her office door. Harrison pats Huck's shoulder before leaving too.
WHITE HOUSE - RESIDENCE
Mellie stood talking with Tom when Sybil was led in.
"I'm gonna need to talk to the nanny. She can fly the kids out once a month until school is out in D.C. I also need you to call ahead and make sure both the main house and the beach cottage are ready. I'll be spending at least some of the weekends at the cottage." Mellie tells him as Tom looks over to see Sybil.
"Ma'am, you have a visitor." Tom motioned making her turn around.
"Just who I was in waiting for," Mellie says as Tom walks by Sybil with a nod almost looking her up and down before walking out.
"Nice work with James Deluca. Having him take the fall." Mellie tells her.
"Well, you called me for help." Sybil put down her purse.
"I did. And it wouldn't have happened if you didn't break it off." Mellie remarks.
"I'm not the one at fault remember. He's your husband Mel." Sybil responds.
"You told him that I knew ... about your relationship," Mellie asked.
"It slipped." Sybil avoids her eyes.
"Right, well he knows that I knew. so, it won't be long before he gets rid of me." Mel tells her as she sits down.
"No, talk to him. Maybe he won't." Sybil comforted her as she sat next to her.
" I never would've expected him to get with that Amanda Tanner girl. He was weak and vulnerable. He loved you more than me. When I found out I was very sad and hurt. But I could understand, we were always fighting. Our marriage was beyond repair until a beautiful serpent came and it brought something out of Fitz that I had never seen before. " Mellie looked at Sybil.
"Mel.." Sybil started.
"No, it's fine. Thank you for your help. I want you and him to be happy." Mel started making Sybil look at her.
"What?" Sybil mutters.
"Our little triangle family." Mellie started laughing.
"Mel. Are you okay?" Sybil looked at her like she was crazy.
"I'm fine. That was a weird thing to say." Mellie says.
"Yeah. very weird." Sybil laughed.
"20/20 wants to interview us about the tape and James Deluca's confession," Mellie tells her.
"Well make them love you more," Sybil added.
"As always. Are you staying in Washington?" Mellie questioned.
"No, I won't for a while. I have to help my dad." Sybil starts as Mellie's face frowns.
"I'll pop through when I can. Olivia is going to prep you for the interview. I'll be watching." Sybil added as she hugged her. Mellie nodded before watching Sybil leave.
US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Quinn sat in the chair as David stared at her. Quinn was hoping Harrison would show up and help her out.
"I'm not saying anything without my lawyer present." Quinn disclosed.
"You need his permission to eat? You must be hungry." David remarks.
"Hot." Quinn ignored.
"Turns out I don't even need to question you anymore. Olivia told me everything-- Amanda, Billy Chambers, the whole shebang." David responded.
"More like Sybil told you in small words." Quinn comments making the 'you right' head nod.
"But still" David starts as the door starts opening.
"David, there's a guy named Klaus here to see you." His secretary tells him as the man walks through.
"I have something that you need," Klaus says as he produces the scissors Billy used.
Quinn couldn't help but look at the handsome man as he sat down once giving David the scissors.
"Where the body is written down on the paper on top," Klaus tells him as he could feel Quinn's eyes on him. He looks at her making her blush.
"And you're the one that cleaned up the scene." David pointed out.
"My boss needed it done." Klaus plainly said before looking at Quinn again before leaving.
David only wondered who his boss was. Olivia or Sybil.
Sybil's Townhouse (Washington, DC)
TW: Half smut wording (My arms were getting tired, so this is very crappy)
Sybil's newly showered body sat in her robe as she waited for Jason. The doorbell rang as she got up to see who it was. Opening the door to see Jason Deluca leaning on the door.
"Hello, Sybil." Jason smiled as she pulled him inside.
"Jason," Sybil says before she kisses him.
Jason picked her up making her wrap her legs around his waist. He took her upstairs to her room. Kissing her so softly as he ran his hands on her back.
"I missed this so much," Jason tells her as he pulls back as he helped her out of her robe. She lay naked underneath, laying kisses on her neck as she moaned wishing he was Jax or Fitz or Both. She pulled him back up.
"I wanted to thank you for helping with the president," Sybil tells him.
"Anything for you, Sybil. Anything." Jason answers as they kiss again. He removed his shirt as he went south at her gate, kissing up her leg til he met Paradise. Sybil watched as he did his first lick, causing her to moan as he greedily licked her core.
"Ah!! Mm. Jason yes." Sybil moans. He was always good at that, as it got to the good part. Sucking her clit like a vacuum as she rubs his hair with her fingers.
"You've always been so good at that." She whimpers.
He stops before moving up to kiss her in the mouth before laying down on her. The things he did to her that night did not disappoint her. They cuddled after 6 am of their time. She slept like a baby.
OPIE'S House (LODI)
Jax, Chibs, Tig, Bobby, and Happy rode their motorcycles to a decent neighborhood. Bobby looked at Jax.
"Are you sure Opie is here?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah, nice and comfy." Jax walked up to the door, and they followed him. He knocked on the door as they waited for Opie to open up the door.
To their surprise, a 5'4 woman opened the door with tan copper skin and black hair and doe eyes looked back at them.
"Is Opie in there?" Jax asked.
"Yeah, he's in the back." The woman said pointing in the back.
"Can we come in?" Jax asked.
"Yeah, you can." The woman said before opening the door wider. Once they came in, she shut the door. They watch her take them to the back to see Opie looking different with his short hair and his beard shaved off.
(Reference photo but he's older)
" Opie, you have company." The woman said.
Opie finally looked to see Jax, Chibs, Tig, Bobby, and Happy looking at him.
"Ope," Bobby called out.
"Hey, Bobby," Opie said with a smile.
