David likely wouldn't mind because he now had his third wife, Mia Suarez, still a Cuban woman, just thirty-two this year, a professional ballet dancer, with a brother named Xavier Suarez, the current Mayor of Miami.
The city of Miami belonged to him, David Kennedy, even if scandals prevented him from continuing as Mayor, he could leverage his power to install his ex-wife as the Deputy Mayor and elevate his current wife's brother to Mayor, all under the guise of democracy.
If he hadn't been concerned about Jeff Raven's backer, Tommy, who controlled multiple national and even global television networks, David would have had no interest in owing the Parkers, a couple with particularly large appetites for favors, if the backer had been a local, ordinary financier. He could have dealt with a minor nuisance like Jeff Raven in Miami on his own.
