The proposed figure tore the smile from Maggie's face. Dipiazzo's terms, to put it mildly, were tantamount to folding her over his desk and having his way with her right then and there. What's worse, Walter would be in line for sloppy seconds should she accept. Fortunately, as always, Maggie had one her homework.<br/><br/>"While you concerns and demands are entirely reasonable, Mr. Dipiazo, I do believe we can reach an arrangement agreeable to both you Venue's and Imagicorp's best interests."<br/><br/>As Maggie continued, she began to riffle through a filefolder tucked against her clipboard. "Your troubles with the local teamsters union have been all over the news. Foreman Delvego has been a most volatile opponent by the sounds of it. What you may not know is that he's also a very loving father." She paused, showing a glossy 8x10 glam shot of a smiling tween girl in braces. "Nona Delvago's dream is to cut an album. We are Imagicorp are ready to make that happen, and in exchange Delvego is prepared to ensure the impending strike is avoided."<br/><br/>The proposition could save Dipiazo hundreds of thousands in cancelled concert revenues. The legality of it was negligible, but it wouldn't be the first time Maggie had been dragged over that line in the course of Delinquent duty.
