Luna glanced up from her glass. "The Johnson family? Oh, I'm very familiar. There was a juicy segment on them recently."

These meetings happened in fancy, private places where they gave King and other important senators expensive gifts and offered them special deals. They were asked to say specific things that would work favorably for Johnsons' investments.
