not have to compromise his morals.
            Anthony sat down beside his boss,
just as the CEO of AMAN, David Corson, came in, joined by some track officials
and his personal assistant.  It was precisely 9:00 am and of course Jimmy
was nowhere to be found.  At 9:10 David told his assistant to call Jimmy
on the phone.  I could not hear the conversation, but when his assistant
was off the phone, the expected message came through. 
            “Jimmy is caught up in traffic and
will not be here until 10:00.”
     
        Everyone nonchalantly stood up and
walked out of the room.  Anthony watched with his mouth hanging open, as
no one seemed angry, shocked, or otherwise.  He thought, what the fuck
is wrong with these assholes, his complete continued disregard for anyone goes
unnoticed!  Why do they pander to this asshole!  Why don’t they cut
him off! The answer was obvious, it was the money, it was the look, it was everything about Jimmy Spade.  He brought so
many fans to the series, that it was almost impossible
to let him go, so they put up with him.  
            Anthony continued to spin himself
around like a whirling dervish until the 10:00 am timeframe came.  He went
into the room again, sat down like everyone else and waited.  Jimmy
arrived at 10:15, on his time, as he did everything else.
           
        “Sorry about that folks, hell of a
traffic jam.”
           
There was only one way to get to our office, everyone knew there was no traffic
jam, but this was after all, the famous Jimmy Spade. David began to speak,
            “No problem Jimmy.  Jimmy, I
think you know why we are here, yet again.  Your behavior on tour is
reprehensible, we hear reports of you drinking, fighting, and pissing everyone
off.  Why does it have to be this way?”
           
“What do you mean?”
            Anthony finally got excited, it
looks like the CEO was mad this time.  It looked like he was going to
really give it to Jimmy. 
            “C’mon Jimmy, you know I am screwing
with you!”  Replied David, “How could I stay mad at this guy.  In
fact your little stunt, with the punch, got us a lot of attention on TV. 
I think this may have even been good for us.

        Everyone in the room began to laugh,
Anthony was not laughing, he found none of this funny
and could no longer hold back his ire.
            “Excuse me gentlemen, if we have no
intention of doing anything about Jimmy’s dangerous behavior, can someone
please tell me why we are here?”
            All eyes immediately turned to
Anthony, there was an uncomfortable silence in the room, no one moved. 
David stood up, walked closely to Anthony, bent down and began to speak.
            “What is your name young man?”
           
“Anthony Sir.”
           
“Well Andy, the reason we are here, is the racing sanctioning body requires
that after any type of altercation or questionable behavior, we complete and
investigation, hold and inquest ,and return them the results.  This, is
how we stay in business.”
           
“So why exactly do you need me?”
            “You are
asking me why you are here?   Perhaps you should
tell me. Why exactly do we need you?”
           
        Not only had he got his name wrong,
but David had drawn a very clear line in the sand.  Anthony now realizing
what he had done, froze in place and was left with no air in his lungs to say
anything, his morals had gotten him in trouble.  Jimmy began to speak,

       
        “Now now, David, you know we need
everyone in this room to be here.  This does not need to be a pissing
contest, I am sure that Anthony is just trying to ensure that he does what is
best for the AMAN series.  His job is to stand for what is right and true,
by investigating all of the important events that happen.  So let’s all
just take a step back and
