“You.. You must be joking you REALLY can not be serious” Richard exclaimed as he back away from the leering face of Piers Morgan.
“No joke” Piers told him reaching out to trace a finger down Richard’s check frowning as the younger man flinched away. “I’ve wanted you for quite sometime and if you want to protect Clarkson and Top Gear you’ll do as I say”.
Richard pulled away from Piers “That’s blackmail if I went to…”
“Who’d believe you?” Piers calmly asked “You have no proof and if we can’t come to an agreement then the pictures I have of Clarkson and your producer, your MALE producer having their little “Meeting” will be on the front page tomorrow morning and Clarkson’s marriage and career will be over shortly after that, he’ll lose it all - his wife , his kids the show… Do you really want to be responsible for all that?”
“If… IF I did this how do I know that you wouldn’t do it any way?” Richard demanded “How do I know you don’t have copies?”
Richard was unable to look the older man in the face so he missed the look of triumph in the newspaper editors eyes, Piers knew he‘d already won, now it was just a matter of when and were. As tempting as it was to just bend Hammond over his desk it was too risky.
“I‘m a man of my word Richard - The only copies are the one‘s you‘ve seen” he reached out he grasped Richard’s chin gently with his fingers and drew the shorter man in for a kiss. “You have to trust me”.
