Chapter 215 Fire the First Shot

• After the meeting, Lewis Snow personally went to report to Winston Jenkins. Then he made a special trip to the municipal committee to see the secretary of the municipal party committee, Mark Torres.
• Lewis sought out Mark mainly to flag some problems and, while he was at it, ask for certain privileges. Too many people were tangled up in this—complicated ties, overlapping power, messy personal backgrounds—so Lewis decided to lay everything out for Mark first. No matter who tried to trip him up or what title they held, he wanted this big shot to keep an eye on things when it mattered.
• Mark was very impressed with how Lewis was thinking things through. Plus, Lewis’s connection with Laurel Torres earned him Mark’s full support. Mark told him to go all out—if something blew up, Mark would shoulder it.
