A scandal? In MY whitehouse??
Eliza stares at Thomas Jefferson in the new breakroom, following his eyes as Alexander walks in. His face seems to brighten, and he actually sits up, a smile making it's way on his face. He looked excited to see Alex, which was suprising. What had happened during the two week break to make Thomas EXCITED to see Alexander Hamilton, his enemy?
"Hamilton." Thomas says, sending a curt nod his way.
"Jefferson." Alex replies, grabbing his lunch out of the cold room. He grabs a pot out of the cabinets before leaving the room again, making Eliza huff.
"Are you okay? You've been staring at Jefferson for a whole ten minutes now." Eliza blinks, looking at her sisters, who was looking at her, concerned. "You don't... like... Jefferson, do you?" Eliza actually liked Maria, but she'd never tell her sisters that. It was just a embarrising little crush... or so she hoped. She knew she was bi, she did date Alexander for a while before they decided they'd be better off as friends, and she used to have strong feelings for women in the past before she dated Alex... Her love life was just a complete mess.
"Ew, what, no? I don't like Thomas." She frowns at Peggy, who giggles.
"Your the only one in the office apart from Madison and Lafayette who calls him Thomas, dude. It's fine if you do. I wouldn't be upset."
"I would." Angelica frowns. Eliza knew Thomas and Angelica used to date in highschool and through the first year of college before they had broken up with each other. From her knowledge, It was Thomas who had broken up with Angelica without really giving her a 'good' reason, aparently. Eliza had been there and had seen the red mark on Thomas' face when Angelica slapped the shit out of him.
"No guys, I don't like him. Why would I go out on a date with someone that broke up with my sister-" Eliza stutters in her sentence as she watches Maria walk in. She was in the red dress she only wore on her good days, and she was talking with James Madison, who was laughing along with her. She grabbed her lunch from the cold room, making a silly face at Madison, who nearly chokes on the water he was drinking.
"Uh, Liza?" Eliza jumps a bit, looking at Angelica, who raised her eyebrow at her. She knew her face was a bright red,she couldnt even hide it.
"Anyway!" She says a bit loudly, forcing herself to not watch Maria walk out the door. "I've been seeing how Thomas and Alexander have been looking at each other and I think they should spend some time together."
"As in?" Peggy grins.
"Go on a date, hang out with each other, things like that. I have an idea but I just need you guys help-"
"I actually have work to do as the senior advisor to the president." Angelica stands up, packing up the rest of her lunch. "But you two continue in ah, whatever your doing. I'll see you guys later." Eliza watches her sister go before looking back over at her youngest sister.
"Alright, I have an idea but I'm really going to need your help."

Angelica walks down the hallway, stopping in Washington's office.
"Ah, Angelica, your early, what do you need?" Washington placed his glasses down on the desk, grinning at her.
"I have the papers you asked for, but I'm missing a couple, sir. It's like they've dissapeared, which is impossible, since you know how well I label and manage things."
"What are you missing?"
"Valuble information, sir." Angelica shuts the door behind her, walking up to the desk. The secret service were waiting outside like she had asked before she went in. "I think.. Well, I think someone stole it." Washington leans back in his chair.
"What do you mean, Angelica?" She sets the folders down on his desk, displaying them out.
"I mean what I said, sir. I think someone's stolen- and been stealing information. Just think about it. Two days before on friday, Alexander couldn't find the list of shipments and supplies we get from other countries. I saw him place it in his desk that friday morning before we went off to get breakfast, sir.
Four days before that, Pence and Adams can't find the list of bills their parties had written up two weeks before that. I- and you know how much I hate both of them- searched their offices from top to bottom, then searched everyone elses.
Nobody could find the list- thank god Madison had the decency to photocopy it onto his computer, and lets see, ten days before the accident Alex had, he came to you with the exact same concern and told you he thought he knew who it was, and then got into a serious car accident. Someones taking steps in order to make sure this stealing scandal is being kept under wraps!" Washington frowns, tapping his desk.
"If what your saying is correct, Angelica, then this is getting dangerous, and that means whoever it is knew Alexander knew and made sure certain steps were taken so he wouldnt tell anyone." Angelica nods, sitting down in one of the chairs infront of the desk. "Do you know who it is? If we can get secret service to-"
"No. No secret service."
"But, Angelica-"
"Whoever this is has enough knowledge to sabatoge and almost kill Alexander, and we don't know who this is." Angelica says. "I can cross a couple of people off my list that we can trust."
"Who?"
"Well, my sisters. Eliza and Peggy are loyal, they wouldn't go behind my back like that. Hell, Eliza accidentally kicked our dog once and cried for three hours. Jefferson and Madison are out to. So is Burr and Lewis. Lafayette, Laurens, and Mulligan are out, they've been friends with Alex for a while now, if they wanted to kill Al, they would have done it in college." She leans back into the chair, humming. "Maybe Conway and Adams, but I don't know the guys personally. Conway keeps to himself in his corner of the office, Alex doesnt even go to him anymore for help, and Adams never comes to work, so I can't speak for him." Washington keeps quiet for a couple of seconds, his eyes sharp.
"I don't want to blame anyone, but Mulligan was a spy for a while." Angelica nods.
"But he was a spy for us. He spied on Britan for a while to make sure they wernt getting to overpowered, but he's a gentle giant. He's also dating Lafayette, and I don't think Hercules would ever do anything to hurt him." Washington goes quiet for a second longer before standing up, looking out the big window behind him. Angelica gets reminded of the movies she'd seen, staring at him.
"You do realize these are serious alligations your making, Angelica. If your wrong about this, someone could get hurt."
"I'm never wrong, sir, you know that!" Angelica says, and Washington sighs, turning back around to face her.
"This stays between you and me until we know the others arn't in on this, understood?" Angelica nods.
"Yes sir." Washington sighs, rubbing his eyes as he sits back down.
"Just be careful, Angelica. I don't want what happened to Hamilton to happen to you, alright?"
"Understood sir."
