John Murphy didn't stay long.
He boarded the earliest flight to Washington.
He had a long road ahead of him if he wanted to secure that Senator seat.
He had to win over discerning donors in Washington and deliver dozens of stump speeches across the vast rural heartlands of Pennsylvania.
But the heart of it all was still in Pittsburgh.
So he left Pittsburgh in Leo's hands.
Leo had to complete the application process for the Pittsburgh city bonds before Murphy returned, whether with good news or bad.
「Pittsburgh City Hall, Second-Level Basement.」
The elevator doors opened, and a blast of dry, cool air washed over him.
This was the Office of Management and Budget.
Leo strode down the long, narrow corridor.
He was no stranger to this place.
For the "Revitalization Plan Phase II" budget, Ethan Hawke had practically worn a path to their door.
In the end, Leo himself had to come down three times and slam his fist on the table before the budget was finally approved.
