“But, remember, every time you got that candy, here comes some big guy who wants it all for himself. You understand what I’m saying?” “Those wop bastards don’t have a chance,” the broad-faced man said, with the calm assurance of a man stating a known fact. “It depends on what they want to put into it, Sammy,” the man in the wheelchair said. “They know we’ve got the cops and the judges, but they also know those people aren’t with us–they’re just whores, charging us for every trick. When this jumps off, they’ll stand on the sidelines, and climb into bed with the winners.” Beaumont looked around the room, using his eyes to lock and hold each man individually before he continued: “Now, you know, they’ve already been around, the Italians. Sat down with me. Very nice, polite. They just want a little taste, is what they say. But it would never stop there. When they come for us, they’re going to come hard.” “You really think one guy’s going to make that much of a difference?” Lymon asked. “You mean, do I think we need him?” Beaumont said. “Hell, no. What Sammy said is the truth. The outcome’s not in doubt. But being a good general isn’t just about winning wars; it’s about keeping your men safe, too. And if this guy’s half as good as I’ve been told, he’ll get it over with quick.” twotrainsrunning/audio-interview.html
