Chapter Fourteen

Sam Giancana, born Salvatore Giangana, was the man in charge of Chicago. The Sicilian American mobster was the boss – he ran The Outfit, also known as The Chicago Outfit. For him to send a telegram to Red’s boys meant serious business.

Trenchie and Shooter met Giancana at the Armory Lounge, his headquarters in the suburb of Forest Park, Illinois. Several years prior, the Feds – FBI agents – had planted a bug in his hotel room. As a result, from that day forward, any and all meetings were held in his private office after having the room swept for both listening devices and cameras.

Even though the room had been declared “clean,” Giancana still spoke quietly, a habit acquired through years of conversations.

“You know what the Kennedys have done to us,” he began. “I regret the day Sinatra brought Joe Kennedy here to meet with me. I almost had Sinatra whacked for that, but I didn’t want to deprive the world of that voice. Anyway, Joe Kennedy told me I’d have a friend in the White House if I got his son elected President. Do you have any idea of what we went through to get him elected? We intimidated, we lied, broke heads, bussed people in, even got a few cemeteries full of dead people to cast their votes for him. We made that guy who he is today and you know what he did? He made his brother Attorney General and . . . instead of having a friend in the White House, we have an enemy in the Attorney General’s office. Look, I asked you to come here because after hearin’ what happened to your boss, I thought you might want to hear what I’m plannin’ to do.”

Giancana paused for effect. Trenchie waited.

Giancana milked it for all it was worth and when Trenchie didn’t respond, he said quite cavalierly, “I’m gonna whack the President of the United States.”

If Giancana was waiting for some sort of a response from Trenchie, he was in for a disappointment. Trenchie bounced his head around a bit then turned and looked at Giancana.

Finally, Giancana asked, “Well, whadda you think?”

“If you don’t kill the bastard, then I will,” Trenchie responded in his dead pan way while looking him straight in the eye.

Sam slapped his thigh and laughed.

“Trenchie, I like you. You don’t say much, do you?”

“I say what needs to be said – the rest is bullshit.”

Sam turned to his bodyguards.

“You see, this is what I’m talkin’ about. This guy’s from the old school – did ten years for a rap he didn’t commit – just did it.”

He looked back at Trenchie.

“That’s one of the reasons I contacted you, Trench. I know what Bobby’s done to Red and I know what his main man is doin’ to you, and I wanted you to know that I’m doing the deed . . . just in case you were thinkin’ of doin’ it yourself. After what they did to Big Red, I thought you might be interested in joinin’ up with us.
