President Kennedy walked across the wet green lawn. Walking with Jack was his brother Bobby. They were heading toward the White House portico. " I'm new at this job". Jack frowned at his brother. " I thought I could trust other people".

Bobby smiled. " You can trust me Jack".

" Bobby, I want you to be my eyes and ears".

" Ok Jack".

" Find some good people". Jack stared at his brother. " And figure out how to get rid of that Castro".

Bobby scratched his chin. " Get rid of him?".

" Just find out a way to get rid of him".

" Ok Jack".

Now soaked by the rain, the two men walked up to the White House portico.

Bobby grinned. " Are you going to tell the nation about the Bay of Pigs?".

President Kennedy frowned. " I will admit to the nation that we screwed up".
