L.T. FLIPPED the air-conditioning a notch higher as he drove through the brick pillars marking the driveway for Magnolia Cottage. “Damn Dixon Bell, anyway. The man’s been gone for thirteen years—what does he want with a crumbling disaster like that house?”
Curtis Tate shook his head. “He’d be doing the city and himself a favor to get rid of it, have us build something decent on one of the best pieces of real estate in the entire county. It’s a waste, pure and simple, letting that prime land sit there unused.” Then the mayor flashed L.T. a sideways grin. “I imagine you’ve got some ideas on how we can ‘persuade’ Mr. Bell, though, don’t you?”
“With a little cooperation from the powers that be, Mr. Mayor, I think I can guarantee that Magnolia Cottage will become a real showplace, a development that’ll do this city proud.”
His passenger laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. “Well, hell, L.T., civic pride alone demands that we in the government cooperate in such a worthwhile endeavor.”
