If it weren't for holding onto their ledger, with their status, they wouldn't even deign to meet.
Upon thinking this, an executive named Grelay could no longer endure it and he lashed back, "Don't assume holding this ledger will allow you to do as you please with us!"
"Whether I can do as I please, I'm not sure, but if you don't pay up, I can make sure your GCO prison business can't operate in Nevada State."
"Ha, what a bold claim!"
Grelay sneered and retorted, "Do you have any idea how many prisoners would be left homeless if our GCO prison business were to stop?"
"And how many criminals from the FBI, DEA, Immigration, state police, and district attorney's offices would become unrestricted because they are not in prison?"
"When that leads to chaos in the entire state's system, can you, a Chief Tax Officer, afford the consequences?"
Having said this, Grelay began to look smug, and the other executives shared his sentiment.
