"It's pretty great having Andy working in the building. The guy is so much fun. His new thing? Piggyback rides! Anytime you want." Tom explains.

Andy runs around city hall, surprising fast, with Tom on his back. Maybe it was because Tom was so small.

"Mark!" Andy yells as he rushes past Mark's office and out of sight, before rapidly coming back into sight and gone again. "Brendanawicz!"

"Do I get a free piggy back ride I've been hearing so much about?" Olivia asks, looking down at Andy shining Kyle's shoes, leaving on the shoe stand. Andy jumps to his feet, unaware that she was there, bumping his head. Looking at her with a beaming after recovering from his head trauma. Just leaving Kyle without an explanation.

"No, for my best friend I have something special." And without asking permission, Andy leans down scooping under Olivia's knees and lifting her off the ground. Causing Olivia to yelp in surprise. He was holding her bridal style, holding Olivia close to his chest. Olivia's heart was a flutter, but she chalked that up to the surprise of being picked up suddenly.

"Where to my lady?" Andy asks with a British accent, looking into her eyes solely, causing her to smile.

"Jerry faxes these." Olivia says throwing papers from her position in Andy's arms, still looking at Andy and not where the papers were landing haphazardly on Jerry's desk.

Jerry rolls his and picks up the papers on the ground. "Is that really necessary?" He asks exasperated. Andy drags his gaze away from Olivia and answers Jerry.

"Absolutely it is." he says in the same dumb British accent.

Leslie was negotiating on getting everyone from the office to go on Ron's 'trail survey really hunting trip. All except Olivia, she really didn't want to be around Ron with a gun, let alone Leslie, let alone Tom, let alone- ya know what she didn't want anyone she worked for him to have a gun.

Leslie leaves Ron's office, after forcing him to let the others come along, looking for Olivia.

"Sister! I need you to do something for me. I'm going hunting tomorrow, so call the State Parks Office and get verbal confirmation that our budget documentation is in. Can I just tell you the 16-digit tracking number, or do you want me to write it down?" Leslie explained at nauseam.

"I got it." Olivia says laid back plucking the notes out of Leslie's hand. "You want me to dial a number and then read another number out loud? Sounds like the simplest thing to do."

"And if you do it, I will name the first turkey I shoot after you."

" It would be dead, why would you name it?" Olivia asked, confused to which she got no response. Olivia sighs and sits down dialing the number and waiting to get an answer.

'Easiest day ever' She thought to herself.

An hour later Olivia was crossing her legs and trying not to piss herself as hard as she could. These people were sickos, whoever was keeping her on the line this long.

She thought this was gonna be the shortest day ever. But it may turn into an afternoon of cleaning her pee off the floor. She didn't want to leave, god forbid the answer while she's gone and has to wait for another hour.

Olivia looks up and sees Andy in his shoe shine apron walking past the park and recreation department. Olivia calls out to him just as he was about to walk by.
