Pittsburgh City Hall, Mayor's Office.
Leo hung up the phone with Sanders and immediately dialed another number.
BEEP... BEEP...
The call connected.
"Leo?" John Murphy's voice came through, sounding exhausted. The noise of a moving car could be heard in the background. "I just finished the rally in Altoona. The turnout was low, and the reception was cold. Dammit, Warren's roots run too deep there."
"Listen, John."
Leo didn't bother with pleasantries and cut straight to the chase.
"The lawsuit is settled. You don't have to worry about the trouble from Morganfield for now. I've broken that chain."
There was a second of silence on the other end, followed by Murphy's surprised voice. "You actually did it? I haven't had a chance to check the news. How did you manage it...?"
"That's not important," Leo interrupted. "Morganfield is out of the game—at least, he's lost his controlling position. Now, we're facing a whole new situation."
Murphy sighed.
