Scandal - Secret Daughter 9

 Eli Pope was off the radar, missing, kidnapped, laying low. Each title was questionable. But it upset Alexandra and she wanted to find him. She tracked the comings and goings of where she had learned from Jake that Eli had been taken. It took hours but she did what no one else could.

She found him. In a abandoned warehouse , she waited and she waited till she saw Huck leave and then she put on a mask and covered up anything that would identify her. She held a gun up incase there was anyone else. and found him strapped to a chair. He looked up at her and she tucked he gun away and pulled a knife from her boot, and cut the binds. A look of recognition and then a smile pulled across his face. He was released and she tucked the knife away. from a pocket she left a blue butterfly origami behind.

She took him to the car and they drove away, the switched cars and she removed her mask, making Eli laugh, really laugh.

Alexandra sat with Jake talking about everything, they had been back a couple of months. A lot had happened in those few months but Eli who was once in jail was no longer there and since for better or for worse he was the closest thing to a father Jake had. They now had a reason to be together without questions.

"Eli, what is your opinion on engagement photos. Casual, fancy or both." Alexandra asked as she stood behind Jake, arm draped around him, looking over styles of pictures.

"Which ever is you're favourite, sweetheart." he kissed her head. She glanced down at Jake who looked up at her. She thought about it and her hand slipped down to his.

"Can we have a moment?" Alex requested. Eli nodded and she sat down next to Jake "I'm sorry."

"What for?" Jake was confused

"I know what he's done to you, how he's made you feel. I may not get the full extent, in fact I never will. Yet he is the closest thing I have to a decent father. Let's face it, given the two options, a least I believe his regret when he does something. So right here, right now. What do you want?" she rested her hands on his and he smiled a little and kissed her

"You" he answers when he pulled away. "I want you." he let out a deep breath.

"Even if it comes with one self obsessed slutty father and a on and off again psychotic one?" she questioned with a face making him laugh.

"Yes, all long as you're okay with having to deal with the woman that is unknowingly like a sister to the two of us, that I've slept with and that your actual father is currently sleeping with." he countered back

"Ugh, when you say that it sounds sleezy. 50 different kinds of wrong. But yes I will be okay with that because I have you, and you have me. One more thing though. Eli!" she went from soft spoken to really loud. He came back into the kitchen.

"You bellowed."

"Please will you promise to stop trying to kill Jake. Like hand on heart unbreakable vow type promise." she requested leaning her head on Jakes shoulder.

"For you, I promise. Now pictures."

Jake had been made the head of the NSA. Alexandra stood proudly as her father made a couple of jokes about how Jake now had no excuse not protect her. But that he also made the point that if he could trust someone with his daughter he defiantly could trust him with running the NSA.

"We already, took engagement photos. I distinctly remember being there." Alex retorted as she was talking with her father, Cyrus and Abby.

"Yes personal, intimate. Yours, we were thinking that you would want something more...." Cyrus trailed off
