“What? That’s all he has to offer?” A cough released from her throat. “You guys are a joke, Bill. This is not that tough to disprove, I think I’ll go it on my own.” She started to walk away from him, but stopped. “Oh, and Bill? Give the fat slob this message. I’m thinking of changing to a Democrat.”

“You know, I agree with you. You probably have proof that you weren’t anywhere near Colombia last year. Actually, this story is only meant to be a message to let you know how easy it will be to put you out of a job in November. The big man already has a name picked out to run against you. And lots of money to back him up. So it’s that simple. Vote yes on Friday and keep your job. He doesn’t even care how you vote on Wednesday. That’s it, one vote for your job.”

She looked down on him and let a little snorting sound release from her throat. Without saying anymore, she went to her car and called to see how Rachel was fairing at the studio.
