  The corporation was too close to the city council for its own good. The relationship was cozy with the suspicion of corrupt dealings too likely. And it was becoming costly; the Corporation's public approval was declining. Mike Danner, an accountant in the office, could see this and he decided that he had to try and fix it. As he walked down the corridors of the cosmopolitan building where he worked, he knew that an argument with the president would be counterproductive. He had to find a way of counseling the president that he needed distance from his counterpart in the local government.They were an odd couple, he and the mayor; corrective measures were needed.

  But Mike Danner never thought that there would be any true corresponding crime. Counterfeit money was being produced in the back offices of the corporate parking lot and shipped to the city council in corrugate boxes where the mayor would countersign their authenticity. The corpus of the council knew this. He was walking into the fire!

  The next day, when his body was found with his cortex pealed from his head, the press never thought to correlate his murder with a controversy surrounding the corporation and the city council. Instead they created a cosmetic motive for a local drug dealer to be put in prison on false charges. The Chief of Police was involved in the counterfeit deal as well. And he wasn't about to sacrifice the college money for his three kids for some curious corporate office boy.

  為了自身的利益公司離市政委員會(huì)太近了。關(guān)系太密切，很可能讓人懷疑有腐敗交易。這給公司帶來(lái)了很大的損失：公司的公眾支持率在不斷下降。辦公室會(huì)計(jì)邁克?丹納看出了這一點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為他得努力解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。當(dāng)他走過(guò)他工作的國(guó)際性建筑的走廊的時(shí)候，他明白與總裁爭(zhēng)論會(huì)產(chǎn)生相反的結(jié)果。他得想辦法勸告總裁：他有必要與當(dāng)?shù)卣械匚缓退鄬?duì)應(yīng)的人保持距離。總裁和市長(zhǎng)是奇怪的一對(duì)，需要采取矯正措施。

  但邁克·丹納從沒想過(guò)真的會(huì)有相關(guān)的犯罪。公司停車場(chǎng)后面的辦公室正在印偽鈔，并用起皺的紙箱運(yùn)往市政委員會(huì)，在那里市長(zhǎng)要給它們辨明真?zhèn)巍Ｊ姓瘑T會(huì)所有人都知道這件事，他是在玩火!

  第二天，當(dāng)?shù)ぜ{頭皮被剝掉的尸體被人發(fā)現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，新聞界根本就沒想到把他的被殺和圍繞公司與市政委員會(huì)的爭(zhēng)議聯(lián)系到一起，他們反倒編造了一個(gè)表面動(dòng)機(jī)，以莫須有的罪名把當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)毒品販子關(guān)進(jìn)了監(jiān)獄。警察局長(zhǎng)也卷入了偽鈔案中，他可不會(huì)為了某個(gè)好奇的公司勤雜員犧牲三個(gè)孩子上大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)。
