Dalia stared at the proposal pages spread out on Andrew's desk, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You can't--actually be considering this," she shook her head.
"Dalia, please." Andrew looked up at her, his features tired. He was wearier now than she'd ever seen him.

"Please nothing -- are you out of your mind?" she exclaimed. "You can't do this!"
"Yes, I can." His voice was deliberate, each word pronounced.

She leaned over the desk a bit. "It's inviting criminal activity - hell, it's practically endorsing it!"

"It's a legitimate proposal," Andrew said dismissively, his patience quickly thinning.

"You've let them get to you." Dalia considered reaching for his hand but thought better of it. "You're above this, Andy. You are not one of their pawns."

"You don't know anything about it." He hardly looked at her.

She started for the door. "You're in over your head! They'll kill you without a second thought, they'll destroy this City even more! Everything you've worked for--"

"Don't you tell me who I am!" He was standing now, patience gone. "I'm the goddamn Mayor and you are my assistant!"

"You're an asshole and you can go screw yourself." She didn't quite shout it, but she was loud enough as she swung open the door to leave.
