「Two hours after Leo left the Allegany Mountain Summit Club.」
A black Lincoln sedan slowly pulled up to the main entrance of the club.
The Mayor of Pittsburgh, Martin Carter Wright, stepped out of the car.
He adjusted his tie, a confident smile on his face.
'In his view, that arrogant upstart Leo Wallace might have stirred up a bit of trouble, but he was ultimately just a nuisance, not a threat.'
'He needed Morganfield to do what he'd done in the last two elections: unleash his overwhelming financial and media power to swat this pesky fly, Leo, flat against the wall.'
An attendant led him into the familiar cigar lounge.
Morganfield was still sitting in the same spot, a fresh glass of whiskey in his hand.
The scent of the previous guest seemed to linger in the air, but Carter Wright didn't notice.
