Twenty-Two

“Hello, Senator, it’s great to see you again.”

Collier’s stomach had clenched when Pamela told him Newton Riley had stopped by. He’d had mixed emotions, realizing that a visit from the high-powered senator, who held his future in his hands, could bode either good or bad. He preferred to dwell on the former. For the time being, he didn’t need any more bumps in the road.

“Same here,” the senator responded, shaking Collier’s outstretched hand vigorously, his beefy size seeming to shrink the large room.

If nothing else, Collier noted, that size alone commanded respect. “Have a seat and I’ll get you some coffee or whatever.”

He suspected Riley would pass on the whatever, since it was still too early in the day to hit the booze. But one never knew.

“Thanks, but no thanks. I don’t have but a sec.”

“So what’s on your mind?” Collier asked in as casual a manner as possible, since his stomach remained clenched.

“You’ve made it to the top two.”

At first Collier didn’t grasp the meaning of the words. The senator had spoken them so nonchalantly, as if he was commenting on how nice the day was.

“Pretty heady stuff, huh?” Senator Riley went on.
