It was precisely after figuring these out that he gradually realized that Lance had come to him, revealed his own "confusion," and it wasn't to seek help.

Senator Cleveland didn't give him an answer immediately, "It's too late, the people I need to contact are either unreachable or already resting, so let's talk about this tomorrow."
He paused for a moment, contemplating, "I'll be available from one to two-thirty in the afternoon, keep an eye out for my call then."
"If necessary, you can bring him to my office, these matters require us to sit down and talk in detail."
"Um..."
Tom reminded him, "Lance, sir."
"Yes, Lance, tell him not to be in such a hurry yet."
"Since he's already in New Gold City, have someone show him around, let them enjoy themselves a bit."
This was actually also a show of attitude, you wouldn't take a guest you looked down on around the city, you would only do so if you thought they were of value to you.
