The pit works in mysterious ways

Ron was sitting in the main part of the parks and recreation department. Taking in the serene and quiet with a huge smile on his face. Since the government got shut down only essential personnel were allowed in city hall. Mostly everyone was non essential, including Leslie.

Andy in roller blades, skates by the parks and recreation office and is surprised to find someone still in the building.

"Ron!" Andy calls out, rollerblading very fast into the office before coming to a quick stop.

"Hello, Andy." Ron replied calmly.

"It's quiet here. Where is everyone?"

"The government is shut down. It's in every newspaper."

"How long is it going to last?" Andy asked worriedly.

"Well, if we're lucky, this building will be empty for months." Ron cheers, hating the people in the building.

"Wow. That is really bad timing." Anndy frowns thinking of his most recent purchase.

Andy stands outside city hall with a red leather jacket that is coupled with a red motorcycle, a beaming smiles on his face

"I just got this super sweet-ass rad crotch rocket. I've always wanted one of these. But due to, you know, never having a job, I couldn't afford it until now. Got a really good

deal on my lease. Paying 12% interest. It's, like, one of the highest you can get." Andy brags.

"Hey, so I've been trying like crazy to get a hold of Olivia. If you see her, will you tell her I really need to talk to her?" Andy begs.

"You got it."

"You got it." Andy skates out of the room, trying to do a trick. He attempts to flip over the reception desk, but fails horribly, landing on the floor.

"Nailed it." Andy croaks out from the floor behind the desk.

Olivia had gotten an urgent call from her sister, Freddie Spaghetti will sing tonight.

At Lot 48, and she needed to get down there to help her sister run it secret so Ben and Chris dont find out.

Olivia was standing outside Ann house in a group huddle. Olivia wasn't sure where she stood with Ann. But to Ann's knowledge nothing is happening, Olivia thought. I just need to be cool around her, she probably doesn't remember anything from last night.

"We're gonna put on a show today, and it's not gonna solve every problem in our town. But it is gonna make people happy. Everybody ready?" Leslie asks and her team cheers.

It was the one time Olivia was grateful for Leslie monologues.

"Oh, I forgot, I couldn't get a porta potty so, people are just gonna have to use Ann's house as a bathroom." Everyone walks away from the huddle to get things going.

"Aren't we expecting three hundred people?" Ann asks worldly.

"Hopefully, ok, back to work!" Leslie yells ignoring Ann.

Tom and his new girlfriend Lucy were looking at Andy's new motorcycle while the rest of the team worked.

"The craziest thing is it's, like, super loud. You know what I mean? I was on it for only five minutes, and I can't really hear anything. Am I talking loud right now?" Andy explains.

"Yeah." Lucy dead pans.

Andy looks over Tom's shoulder to see Olivia raking up hay. Being thrilled to see her, Olivia's been radio silent since she left abruptly at the club last night.
