The man slid folders towards Walter's team "As you can see, we have several witness statements to the times Walt appeared … not in control of himself and two that have also felt coerced into drug taking with him."

"Are there dates and times that this happened? Location?" George asked, his anger showing. "Any footage?"

"Yes" Ianto answered for everyone as he flicked open a file "They have CCTV footage of them entering and leaving his trailer bythe loks of it, dated and time stamped."

"Good" George settled again "Good. That is something I guess. Go on."

"This is a time where sexual proclivities are in the spotlight and someone trying got use their power to extort sexual favours is .. well… something we have to take seriously."

Bullshit!" a woman in one of their studio uniforms slathered from Walter's side of the table "Wade, you know its bullshit. This man would NEVER be disrespectful enough to take someone's hand without permission. This is all a whitewash because Dale wants the show to himself and the budget would increase once he gets rid of the spin off…"

"ENOUGH!" Fat man speaks.

She settled back to glare at him as he tried to make her continuously combust with a glare of his own.

Ianto wondered if she would have a job tomorrow, didn't really matter. He added her name to the list of people to pull around Walter later. Good stock, clearly a Welsh accent there.

"We have had a good relationship for many years and it has served both sides well" Wade said self-righteously "But now we have to think of the company name."

"Yes. Yes, we do" Walter nodded "A name is an important thing. I have been thinking about that myself for some time. The name."

"So … no talking to the press, we want to keep this in-house if we can."

"And your boy doing that magazine interview the other day as well as going on 20/20 tonight?" George asked with fake politeness "He is allowed to smear my boy with no consequences?"

"what 20/20 interview!" someone spluttered and George shrugged, settling back to let them hiss at one another on that side of the table.

Oh yes.

The trap was about to slam shut and Walter didn't know if he should feel victorious or saddened at what they were forcing him to do. Their own fault …

Should have read the contract better, right?

His Taddy's additions agreed to without consideration for what they might mean…. Or maybe never even noticed them added to the mix. Either way.. the studio was about to hand over the Golden Goose while still thinking they could eat those eggs.

Sorry guys.

The only egg will be on your face.
