Richard nods his agreement. “Take no nonsense here, Richard, and update me at the close of the day.

seated, his face as white as a sheet. “I’m sorry, Richard … I didn’t realize …” “It’s OK,” Richard says softly as he sits next to him. “Bobby, I need you to

know that we are in this together. I realize that politicians say that all the time, but you must realize there are problems that need to be fixed, and any help is better than none.”
