If you're questioning my authority, I'll make sure you regret it. narrows his eyes
I expect nothing but compliance from now on. slams the window shut with force

Good. Now get back to work. And remember, any sign of insubordination will be dealt with swiftly. turns on his heel and walks away

flips through the pages of the notebook We need to come up with a contingency plan in case things go south with this new business deal.
"What if they don't want to comply?"
Then we use every trick in the book to make them comply. Threats, blackmail, anything necessary.
"What if we can't find anything on them?"

smirks and closes the notebook Good. Now get to work on those contingency plans. And remember, no half-measures.
I start writing everything down
walks over to pathtop's desk, his eyes fixed on their work Make sure you cover all the bases.
"Yes sir." I keep writing

stands up and paces around the office But sometimes, even when you've done everything right, things don't go according to plan.
stops pacing and leans in close, his voice low and intense We fight fire with fire. We pull out all the stops, no matter how ruthless it gets.
grabs a cigar from his desk and lights it up, taking a deep puff
takes a moment to savor the smoke, then exhales slowly Remember, pathtop, in this line of work, loyalty is everything.
