| Can you find
the rendezvous point??
I tried
So many memories, all of them so colorful and sharpI saw a hundred places I'd never been,
heard their names for the first timeA house in Los Angeles, lined with tall fronded treesA
meadow in a forest, with a tent and a fire, outside Winslow, ArizonaA deserted rocky beach in
MexicoA cave, the entrance guarded by sheeting rain, somewhere in OregonTents, huts, rude
sheltersAs time went on, the names grew less specificShe did not know where she was, nor
did she care
My name was now Wanderer, yet her memories fit it just as well chanel ceramic watches as my ownExcept that my
wandering was by choiceThese flashes of memory were always tinged with the fear of the
huntedNot wandering, but running
I tried not to feel pityInstead, I worked to focus the memoriesI didn't need to see where she'd
been, only where she was goingI sorted through the pictures that tied to the wordChicago, but
none seemed to be anything more than random imagesWhat was outside
Chicago? Cold, I thoughtIt was cold, and there was some worry about that
Where? I pushed, and the wall came back?Outside the city?in the wilderness? a state park, away from chanel j12 watches any
habitationsIt's not somewhere she'd been before, but she knew how to get there
?How soon?? the Seeker asked The answer came automatically?How long have I been here??
?We let the host heal for nine days, just to be absolutely sure she was recovered,? the Healer
told me?Insertion was today, the tenth dayMy body felt a staggering wave of relief?For the rendezvous point? or even the note I could feel the host's
reaction to this?could feel it much too stronglyThe host was almost?smugI allowed the
words she thought to be spoken, so that I could learn from them
?He?? The ceramic chanel Seeker pounced on the pronoun?Who??
The black wall slammed down with more force than she'd used beforeShe was the tiniest
fraction of a second too late
Again, the face filled my mindThe beautiful face with the golden tan skin and the light-flecked
eyesThe face that stirred a strange, deep pleasure within me while I viewed it so clearly in my
mind
Though the wall slapped into place with an accompanying sensation of vicious resentment, it
was not fast enoughAs quickly as if it had come from me, the thought that was not mine
followed the name through my lips
CHAPTER chanel classic bags 4
Dreamed
It is too dark to be so hot, or maybe too hot to be so darkOne of the two is out of place
I crouch in the darkness behind the weak protection of a scrubby creosote bush, sweating out
all the water left in my bodyIt's been fifteen minutes since the car left the garageNo lights
have come onThe arcadia door is open two inches, letting the swamp cooler do its jobI can
imagine the feel of the moist, cool air blowing through the screenI wish it could reach me here
My stomach gurgles, and I clench my abdominal muscles to stifle the soundIt is quiet enough

|
| What do you want me to do??
?Pull the curtains, if there are any; check the windows and, if possible, lock the doorIf there?s
no way to lock it, look around for??
?I found a set of keys in Swayne?s pocket,? interrupted Jason?I checked; one of them fitsWhen you leave, wipe the door down cleanFind some furniture polish or a dusting
spray
?That?s not going to keep out anyone who wants to get in
?No, but if someone does, we might pick up a print
?You?re reaching??
?I certainly am,? concurred the former intelligence officer?I?ve also got to figure out a way to
seal up the whole place without using anybody from Langley, and, not incidentally, keep the
Pentagon at bay just in case someone among those twenty-odd thousand people wants to reach
Swayne, and that includes his office and probably a couple of hundred buyers and miu miu black bag sellers a day in
procurementsChrist, it?s impossible!?
?It?s perfect,? contradicted Bourne as DrIvan Jax suddenly appeared in the doorway?Our little
game of destabilization will start right here on the ?farm Do you have Cactus?s number??
?Not with meI think it?s probably in a shoebox at home
?Call Mo Panov, he?s got itThen reach Cactus and tell him to get to a pay phone and call me
here
?What the hell have you got in mind? I hear that old man?s name, I get nervous
?You told me I had to find someone else to trust besides you Jason
hung up the telephoneor maybe under the circumstances I can use your
name
?Hello, no-name, which is the way I?d like to keep it on my endEspecially when I just heard
you say another name
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
111
?Alex? No, of course it wasn?t Alex, not our mutual friend tiffany and co jewelry Bourne laughed quietly,
knowingly, as he walked away from the desk?It was Cactus, wasn?t it??
?I just came in to ask you if you wanted me to close the gates,? said Jax, bypassing the question
?Would you be offended if I told you that I didn?t think of him until I saw you just now??
?Certain associations are fairly obviousThe gates, please??
?Do you owe Cactus as much as I do, Doctor?? Jason held his place, looking at the Jamaican
?I owe him so much that I could never think of compromising him in a situation like tonightFor
God?s sake, he?s an old man, and no matter what deviant conclusions Langley wants to come up
with, tonight was murder, a particularly brutal killingNo, I wouldn?t involve himHe?d never forgive me if I didn?t
?You don?t think much of yourself, do you??
?Please close the gates, DoctorThere?s an alarm tiffany heart tag panel in the hallway I can activate when
they?re shut
Jax hesitated, as if unsure of what he wanted to say?Listen,? he began haltingly, ?most sane
people have reasons for saying things?doing thingsMy guess is you?re saneCall Alex if you
need me?if old Cactus needs me The doctor left, rushing out the door
Bourne turned and glanced around the roomSince Flannagan and Rachel Swayne had left
nearly three hours ago, he had searched every foot of the general?s study, as well as the dead
soldier?s separate bedroom on the second floorHe had placed the items he intended to take on the
brass coffee table; he studied them nowThere were three brown leather-bound covers, each equal
in size, each holding inserted spiral-bound pages; they were a desk setThe first was an
appointments calendar; the second, a personal telephone book in sac hermes kelly which the names and numbers
were entered in ink; the last was an expense diary, barely touchedAlong with these were eleven
office messages of the telephone notepad variety, which Jason found in Swayne?s pockets, a golfclub
scorecard and several memoranda written at the PentagonFinally, there was the general?s
wallet containing a profusion of impressive credentials and very little moneyBourne would turn
everything over to Alex and hope further leads would be found, but as far as he could determine, he
had turned up nothing startling, nothing dramatically relevant to the modern MedusaAnd that
bothered him; there had to be somethingThis was the old soldier?s home, his sanctum sanctorum
inside that home?something! He knew it, he felt it, but he could not find itSo he started again,
not foot by foot now; instead, inch by gucci faux in |

| No matter who he was, he would not be happy to have me here
Jeb seemed to read my mind?or maybe the expression on my face was clear enough that he
didn't have to?Don't worry about thatThis ismy house, and this is just one of my
many guest roomsI say who is and isn't my guestRight now, you are my guest, and I am
offering you this room
I still didn't like it, but I wasn't going to upset Jeb, eitherI vowed that I would disturb nothing,
if it meant sleeping on the floor
?Well, let's keep movingDon't forget: third from the left, seventh in
?Green screen,? I added
Jeb took me back through the big garden balenciaga handbags motorcycle room, around the perimeter to the opposite side, and
through the biggest tunnel exitWhen we passed the irrigators, they stiffened and turned, afraid
to have me behind their backs
This tunnel was well lit, the bright crevices coming at intervals too regular to be natural
?We go even closer to the surface nowIt gets drier, but it gets hotter, too
I noticed that almost immediatelyInstead of being steamed, we were now being bakedThe air
was less stuffy and staleI could taste the desert dust
There were more voices aheadI tried to steel myself against the inevitable reactionIf Jeb
insisted on treating me like? louis vuitton purses like a human, like a welcome guest, I was going to have to get
used to thisNo reason to let it make me nauseous over and over againMy stomach began an
unhappy rolling anyway
?This way's the kitchen,? Jeb told me
At first I thought we were in another tunnel, one crowded with peopleI pressed myself against
the wall, trying to keep my distance
The kitchen was a long corridor with a high ceiling, higher than it was wide, like my new
quartersThe light was bright and hotInstead of thin crevices through deep rock, this place had
huge open holes
?Can't cook in the daytime, of courseSo we mainly use this as the chanel white watches mess hall
until nightfall
All conversation had come to an abrupt halt, so Jeb's words were clear for everyone to hearI
tried to hide behind him, but he kept walking farther in
We'd interrupted breakfast, or maybe it was lunch
The humans?almost twenty at a quick estimate?were very close hereIt wasn't like the big
cavernI wanted to keep my eyes on the floor, but I couldn't stop them from flashing around the
roomI could feel my body tensing to run for it, though where I would run, I didn't
know
Against both sides of the hallway, there were long piles of rockMostly rough, purple volcanic
stone, with some gucci men bag lighter-colored substance?cement??running between them, creating seams,
holding them togetherOn top of these piles were different stones, browner in color, and flat
They were glued together with the light gray grout as wellThe final product was a relatively
even surface, like a counter or a tableIt was clear that they were used for both
The humans sat on some, leaned on othersI recognized the bread rolls they held suspended
between the table and their mouths, frozen with disbelief as they took in Jeb and his one-person
tour
Some of them were familiarSharon, Maggie, and the doctor were the closest group dior saddle bags to |

| She left in a hurry, so I ran inside and described you to an old priest?if he was a
priest?and he told me you were in the second confessional from the leftI walked over and pulled
the curtain and there you wereI thought you?d just been killed and everything was
happening so fastCarlos had to be there! He was within my reach, my gun?or maybe I was
within hisI raced around like a maniac and finally I saw him! Out in the street in his priestly black
clothes?I saw him, I knew it was him because he saw me and started to run through the traffic
And then I lost him, I lost him! But I had a card to playI passed the word?Lavier?s deadIt was just what I was supposed to do, wasn?t it? Wasn?t it??
?I tell you again, you are wrong!? The woman no longer struggled; it was pointlessInstead, she
remained rigid against the fendi spy zucca bag wall, no part of her body moving, as if by doing so she might be
permitted to speak?Will you listen to me?? she asked with difficulty, Jason?s forearm still pressed
against her throat
?Forget it, lady,? answered Bourne?You?re going out of here limp?a Sister of Charity being
helped, not assaulted, by a strangerYou?re about to have a fainting spellAt your age it?s a fairly
common occurrence, isn?t it??
?Wait
?We must talk!?
?We will Releasing his arm, Jason instantly crashed both his hands simultaneously into the
woman?s shoulder blades where the tendons weave into the neck musclesShe collapsed; he caught
her in the fall and carried her out of the narrow street as an adoring supplicant might a religious
social workerThe dawn light was beginning to fill the sky, and several early risers, one a young
jogger cc chanel logo earrings in shorts, converged on the man carrying the nun?She?s been with my wife and sick
children for nearly two days without sleep!? pleaded the Chameleon in street French?Will
someone please find me a taxi so I can take her back to her convent in the ninth arrondissement??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
277
?I shall!? roared the young runner?There?s an all-night stand on the rue de S?vres, and I?m very
fast!?
?You are a gift, monsieur,? said Jason, appreciating but instantly disliking the all too confident,
all too young jogger
Six minutes later the taxi arrived, the youth inside?I told the driver you have money,? he said,
climbing out
?Tell the sister what I did,? added the young man in running shorts, helping Bourne gently insert
the unconscious woman into the back of the taxi?I?ll need all the rolex chain help I can get when my time
comes
?I trust that?s not imminent,? said Jason, trying to return the youth?s grin
?Not likely! I represent my firm in the marathon The overgrown child began running in placeI hope you win the next one
?Tell the sister to pray for me!? cried the athlete, racing away
?The Bois de Boulogne,? said Bourne, closing the door and addressing the driver
?The Bois? That ventilating nut told me it was an emergency! You had to get the nun to a
hospital
?She drank too much wine, what can I tell you??
?The Bois de Boulogne,? said the driver, nodding his headI have a second
cousin in the Lyons conventShe gets out for a week she?s soused to the templesWho can blame
her??
The bench on the graveled path of the Bois progressively received the warm rays of the early
sun as the middle-aged woman in dior rasta the religious habit began shaking her head?How are you doing,
Sister?? asked Jason, sitting beside his prisoner
?I believe I was struck by an army tank,? replied the woman, blinking and opening her mouth to
swallow air
?Which I suspect you know more about than a welfare wagon from the Magdalen Sisters of
Charity
?Quite so,? agreed the woman
?Don?t bother to look for your gun,? said Bourne?I removed it from the very expensive belt
under your habit
?I?m glad you recognized the valueIt?s part of what we must talk aboutSince I am not in a
police station, I assume you?ve granted me my request to talk
?Only if what you say suits my purpose, I assume you understand that
?But it must, you seeSuit your purpose, as you sayI?m not where I
should be, and whatever the time is, the light tells me I?m too late for hermes borse excus |

| It was a hell of a journey and we who
had mounted the operation, who invented the myth, were no help to himNot knowing what had
happened, we thought he had turned, had actually become the mythical assassin we?d created to
trap CarlosI, myself, tried to kill him in Paris, and when he might have blown my head off, he
couldn?t do itHe finally made his way back to us only through the extraordinary talents of a
Canadian woman he met in Zurich and who is now his wifeThat lady had more guts and brains
than any woman I?ve ever metNow she and her husband and their two kids are back in the
nightmare, running for their lives
Aristocratic mouth agape, his pipe in midair in front of his chest, the director spoke?Do you
mean to sit there and tell us that the assassin we knew as Jason Bourne was an invention? That he
wasn?t the killer we all presumed he was??
?He killed when he had to kill in order to survive, but he was no assassinWe created the miu miu coffer myth
as the ultimate challenge to Carlos, to draw the Jackal out
?Good Christ!? exclaimed Casset?How??
?Massive disinformation throughout the Far EastWhenever a killing of consequence took
place, whether in Tokyo or Hong Kong, Macao or Korea?wherever?Bourne was flown there and
took the credit, planting evidence, taunting the authorities, until he became a legendFor three
years our man lived in a world of filth?drugs, warlords, crime, tunneling his way in with only one
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

objective: Get to Europe and bait Carlos, threaten his contracts, force the Jackal out into the open if
only for a moment, just long enough to put a bullet in his head
The silence around the table was electricDeSole broke it, his voice barely above a whisper
?What kind of man would accept an assignment like that??
Conklin looked at the analyst and answered in a monotone?A man who felt there wasn?t much
left to live for, someone who chanel jewelry online had a death wish, perhaps a decent human being who was driven
into an outfit like Medusa out of hatred and frustration The former intelligence officer stopped;
his anguish was apparent
?Come on, Alex,? said Valentino softly?You can?t leave us with that Conklin blinked several times, adjusting to the present?I was thinking how
horrible it must be for him now?the memories, what he can rememberThere?s a lousy parallel I
hadn?t considered
?What?s the parallel?? asked Casset, hunched forward, staring at Alex
?Years ago, during Vietnam, our man was a young foreign service officer stationed in Phnom
Penh, a scholar married to a Thai woman he?d met here in graduate schoolThey had two children
and lived on the banks of a riverOne morning while the wife and kids were swimming, a stray
jet from Hanoi strafed the area killing the three of themOur man went crazy; he chucked
everything and made his way to Saigon and into MedusaAll he wanted to do was mulberry leather bag killHe became
Delta One?no names were ever used in Medusa?and he was considered the most effective
guerrilla leader in the war, as often as not fighting Command Saigon over orders as he did the
enemy with death squads
?Still, he obviously supported the war,? observed Valentino
?Outside of having no use for Saigon and the ARVN, I don?t think he gave a damn one way or
anotherHe had his own private war and it was way behind enemy lines, the nearer Hanoi the
betterI think in his mind he kept looking for the pilot who had killed his familyYears ago there was a wife and two kids and they were butchered in front of his eyesNow
there?s another wife and two children and the Jackal is closing in, hunting him downThat?s got to
be driving him close to the edgeGoddamn it!?
The four men at the opposite end of the table looked briefly at one another and let Conklin?s
sudden emotion passAgain, the director spoke, again gently?Considering the time chanel j 12 span,? he
began, ?the operation mounted to trap Carlos had to have taken place well over a decade ago, yet
the events in Hong Kong were much more recentWere they related? Without giving us a name or
names at this juncture, what do you feel you can tell us about Hong Kong??
Alex gripped his cane and held it firmly, his knuckles white as he replied?Hong Kong was both
the filthiest black operation ever conceived in this town and without question the most
extraordinary I?ve ever heard ofAnd to my profound relief we here at Langley had nothing to do
with the initial strategy, the plaudits can go to hellI came in late and what I found turned my
stomachIt sickened McAllister, too, for he was in at the beginningIt was why he was willing to
risk his life, why he damn near ended up a corpse across the Chinese border in MacaoHis
intellectualized morality couldn?t let a decent man be killed for the strategy
?That?s a hell of an indictment,? offered vintage omega watches Cas |

| Ian brought enough for three every timeI found his about-face in regard to me unsettling
Was he really no longer intent on my death? Or just looking for an opportunity? The water
always tasted funny here?sulfurous and stale?but now that taste seemed suspiciousI tried to
ignore the paranoia as much as possible
I was working hard enough to keep my eyes busy and my mind numb; I didn't notice when we
hit the end of the last rowI stopped only when Ian didHe stretched, pulling the pick overhead
with two hands and popping his jointsI shied away from the raised pick, but he didn't seeI
realized that everyone else had stopped, tooI looked at the fresh-turned dirt, even across the
entire floor, and realized that the field was complete
?Good work,? Jeb announced in a loud voice to the group?We'll seed and water tomorrow
The room was filled with soft chatter prada clutch and clanks as the tools were piled against the wall once
moreSome of the talk was casual; some was still tense because of meIan held his hand out for
my shovel, and I handed it to him, feeling my already low mood sink right to the floorI had no
doubt that I would be included in Jeb's ?we Tomorrow would be just as hard as today
I looked at Jeb mournfully, and he was smiling in my directionThere was a smugness to his
grin that made me believe he knew what I was thinking?not only did he guess my discomfort,
but he was enjoying it
He winked at me, my crazy friendI realized again that this was the best to be expected from
human friendship
?See you tomorrow, Wanda,? Ian called from across the room, and laughed to himself
CHAPTER 24
Tolerated
It was true that I did not smell good
I'd lost count of how many days I'd spent here?was it more than a week now? black chanel tote more than
two??and all of them sweating into the same clothes I'd worn on my disastrous desert trekSo
much salt had dried into my cotton shirt that it was creased into rigid accordion wrinklesIt used
to be pale yellow; now it was a splotchy, diseased-looking print in the same dark purple color as
the cave floorMy short hair was crunchy and gritty; I could feel it standing out in wild tangles
around my head, with a stiff crest on top, like a cockatoo'sI hadn't seen my face recently, but I
imagined it in two shades of purple: cave-dirt purple and healing-bruise purple
So I could understand Jeb's point?yes, I needed a bathAnd a change of clothes as well, to
make the bath worth the effortJeb offered me some of Jamie's clothes to wear while mine
dried, but I didn't want to ruin Jamie's few things by stretching themThankfully, he didn't try to
offer me tiffany knockoff anything of Jared'sI ended up with an old but clean flannel shirt of Jeb's that had the
sleeves ripped off, and a pair of faded, holey cutoff sweatpants that had gone unclaimed for
monthsThese were draped over my arm?and a bumpy mound of vile-smelling, loosely molded
chunks that Jeb claimed was homemade cactus soap was in my hand?as I followed Jeb to the
room with the two rivers
Again we were not alone, and again I was miserably disappointed that this was the caseThree
men and one woman?the salt-and-pepper braid?were filling buckets with water from the smaller
streamA loud splashing and laughing echoed from the bathing room
?We'll just wait our turn,? Jeb told me
He leaned against the wallI stood stiffly beside him, uncomfortably conscious of the four pairs
of eyes on me, though I kept my own on the dark hot spring rushing by underneath the cartier roadster replica porous
floor
After a short wait, three women exited the bathing room, their wet hair dripping down the
backs of their shirts?the athletic caramel-skinned woman, a young blonde I didn't remember
seeing before, and Melanie's cousin SharonTheir laughter stopped abruptly as soon as they
caught sight of us
?Afternoon, ladies,? Jeb said, touching his forehead as if it were the brim of a hat
?Jeb,? the caramel woman acknowledged dryly
Sharon and the other girl ignored us
?Okay, Wanda,? he said when they'd passed
I gave him a glum look, then made my way carefully into the black room
I tried to remember how the floor went?I was sure I had a few feet before the edge of the
waterI took off my shoes first, so that I could feel for the water with my toesI remembered the inky appearance of the pool?ripe with suggestions of
what might lurk beneath its opaque surface?and chloe dior shuddere |

?That?s an elusive replySantos, being elusive is hardly a negative, is it? As to your concern that I
would lie to you and take your money, let me assure you I don?t cultivate enemies like you and the
network your blackbird obviously controls any more than I would make enemies of my clients
That way is madness and a much shorter life
?I admire your perspicacity as well as your caution,? said the Jackal?s intermediary
?The bookcases didn?t lie
?That?s neither here nor there, but I have certain credentialsAppearances can be a liability as
well as an assetWhat I am about to tell you, MrSimon, is known by only four men on the face
of chloe bags paddington the earth, all of whom speak French fluentlyHow you wish to use that information is up to you
However, if you even hint at Argenteuil, I?ll know it instantly and you will never leave the Pont-
Royal alive
?The contact can be made so quickly??
?With a telephone numberBut you will not place the call for at least an hour from the moment
we partIf you do, again I will know it, and again I tell you you?re a dead manOnly three other people have this number? Why not pick one you?re not
particularly fond of so I might peripherally allude to him?if it?s necessary
Santos permitted himself a small, flat smile?Moscow,? he said softly?High up in Dzerzhinsky
Square
?The KGB??
?The women's santos 100 replica blackbird is building a cadre in Moscow, always Moscow, it?s an obsession with him
Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, thought BourneDismissed by the Komitet as a
maniacThe Jackal!
?I?ll bear it in mind?if it?s called forThe number, please??
Santos recited it twice along with the words Bourne was to sayHe spoke slowly, obviously
impressed that Bourne wrote nothing down?Is it all clear??
?Indelibly, no pencil or paper requiredIf everything goes as I trust it will, how do you want
me to get you the money??
?Phone me; you?ve got my numberI will leave Argenteuil and come to youAnd never return
to ArgenteuilSomething tells me you deserve itI have drunk the hemlock far too many louis vuitton neo times
?Socrates,? said JasonPlato?s dialogues, to be precise
Santos walked away, and Bourne, his chest pounding, headed back to the Pont-Royal,
desperately suppressing his desire to runA running man is an object of curiosity, a targetA lesson
from the cantos of Jason Bourne
?Bernardine!? he yelled, racing down the narrow, deserted hallway to his room, all too aware of
the open door and the old man seated at the desk, a grenade in one hand, a gun in the other?Put the
hardware away, we?ve hit pay dirt!?
?Who?s paying?? asked the Deuxi?me veteran as Jason closed the door
?I am,? answered Bourne?If this works out the way I think it will, you can add to your account
in Geneva
?I do not do cc chanel logo earrings what I?m doing for that, my friendIt has never been a consideration
?I know, but as long as we?re passing out francs like we?re printing them in the garage, why
shouldn?t you get a fair share??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
260
?I can?t argue with that, either
?An hour,? announced Jason?Forty-three minutes now, to be exact
?For what??
?To find out if it?s real, actually real Bourne fell on the bed, his arms behind his head on the
pillow, his eyes alive?Write this down, Fran?ois Jason recited the telephone number given him
by Santos?Buy, bribe, or threaten every high-level contact you?ve ever had in the Paris telephone
service, but get me the location of that tiffany jewelry canada number |

?See, I put this on,? I said, brushing a handful of glitter across the cuts, ?and it makes the scar
very faint I showed him the one on my arm?But don't scars impress girls? Where did you get this stuff, Wanda? It's like
magic
?Jared took me on a raid
?Seriously? That'sawesome?
Doc touched the glistening powder residue on my hand, then held his fingers to his nose
?You should have seen her,? Jared said
I was surprised to hear his voice close behind meI looked around for Sharon automatically and
just caught sight of the flame of her hair leaving fake chanel bag the roomMaggie was right behind herTo be filled with so much hate that you could not even rejoice in
the healing of a child How did anyone ever come to that point?
?She walked right into a hospital, right up to the alien there, and asked them to treat her
injuries, bold as anythingThen, when they turned their backs, she robbed them blind!? Jared
made it sound excitingJamie was enjoying it, too; his smile was huge?Walked right out of
there with medicine enough to last us all for a long timeShe even waved at the bugger behind
the counter as she drove hermes vintage away
I couldn't do this for them,Melanie said, suddenly chagrinedou're of more value to them than
I would beIt was not a time for sadness or jealousy wouldn't be here to help them
without you
Jamie was staring at me with big eyes
?It wasn't that exciting, really,? I told himHe took my hand, and I squeezed his, my heart
swollen with gratitude and loveI'm a bugger, too, after all
?I didn't mean ?? Jared started to apologize
I waved his protest away, smiling
?How did you explain the scar on your face?? Doc asked?Didn't they wonder why you hadn't
??
?I omega speedmaster day-date had to have fresh injuries, of courseI was careful to leave them nothing to be suspicious
aboutI told them I'd fallen with a knife in my hand I nudged Jamie with my elbow?It could

I was really flying high nowEverything seemed to glow from inside?the fabrics, the faces, the
very wallsThe crowd inside and outside the room had begun to murmur and question, but that
noise was just a ringing in my ears?like the lingering sound after a bell is struckA shimmer in
the airNothing seemed real but the little circle of people I lovedJamie and chanel jewelry necklace Jared and Ian and
JebEven Doc belonged in this perfect moment
?Fresh injuries?? Ian asked in a flat voice
I stared at him, surprised at the anger in his eyesI had to hide my scarAnd learn how to heal Jamie
Jared picked up my left wrist and stroked his finger over the faint pink line a few inches above
it?It was horrible,? he said, all the humor suddenly gone from his sober voice?She about
hacked her hand offI thought she'd never use it again
Jamie's eyes widened in horror?You cut yourself??
I squeezed his hand again?Don't be anxious?it wasn't that mulberry leather |

I woke up covered in sweatEven before I was all the way awake, my fingers were on the back
of my neck, tracing the short line left from the insertionI could barely detect the faint pink
blemish with my fingertipsThe medicines the Healer had used had done their job
Jared's poorly healed scar had never been much of a disguise
I flicked on the light beside my bed, waiting for my breathing to slow, veins full of adrenaline
from the realistic dream
A new dream, but in essence so much the same as the many others that had plagued me in the
past months
I could still feel the heat of Jared's lips on mineMy hands reached out without my permission,
searching across the rumpled sheet, looking for something they did not findMy heart ached
when they gave up, falling to the bed limp and empty
I blinked away the buy chanel bag unwelcome moisture in my eyesI didn't know how much more of this I
could standHow did anyone survive this world, with these bodies whose memories wouldn't
stay in the past where they should? With these emotions that were so strong I couldn't tell whatI
felt anymore?
I was going to be exhausted tomorrow, but I felt so far from sleep that I knew it would be
hours before I could relaxI might as well do my duty and get it over withMaybe it would help
me take my mind off things I'd rather not think about
I rolled off the bed and stumbled to the computer on the otherwise empty deskIt took a few
seconds for the screen to glow to life, and another few seconds to open my mail programIt
wasn't hard to find the Seeker's address; I only had four contacts: the Seeker, the Healer, my
new employer, and his wife, my le dix balenciaga Comforter
There was another human with my host, Melanie Stryder
I typed, not bothering with a greeting
His name is Jamie Stryder; he is her brother
For a panicked moment, I wondered at her controlAll this time, and I'd never even guessed at
the boy's existence?not because he didn't matter to her, but because she protected him more
fiercely than other secrets I'd unraveledDid she have more secrets this big, this important? So
sacred that she kept them even from my dreams? Was she that strong? My fingers trembled as I
keyed the rest of the information
I think he's a young adolescent nowThey were living in a temporary camp,
and I believe it was north of the town of Cave Creek, in ArizonaThat was several years ago,
thoughStill, you could compare a map to the lines I remembered beforeAs always, I'll tell you
if I omega 18k watch get anything moreAs soon as it was gone, terror washed through me
Not Jamie!
Her voice in my head was as clear as my own spoken aloudI shuddered in horror
Even as I struggled with the fear of what was happening, I was gripped with the insane desire
to e-mail the Seeker again and apologize for sending her my crazy dreamsTo tell her I was half
asleep and to pay no attention to the silly message I'd sent
The desire was not my own
I shut off the computer
I hate you,the voice snarled in my head
?Then maybe you should leave,? I snappedThe sound of my voice, answering her aloud, made
me shudder again
She hadn't spoken to me since the first moments I'd been hereThere was no doubt that she
was getting stronger
And there was no question about it; I was going to have to visit my Comforter tomorrowTears
of chanel white purse disappointment and humiliation welled in my eyes at the thought
I went back to bed, put a pillow over my face, and tried to think of nothing at all
CHAPTER 5
Uncomforted
Hello there, Wanderer! Won't you take a seat and make yourself at home??
I hesitated on the threshold of the Comforter's office, one foot in and one foot out
She smiled, just a tiny movement at the corners of her mouthIt was much easier to read facial
expressions now; the little muscle twitches and shifts had become familiar through months of
exposureI could see that the Comforter found my reluctance a bit amusingAt the same time, I
could sense her frustration that I was still uneasy coming to her
With a quiet sigh of resignation, I walked into the small brightly colored room and took my
usual seat?the puffy red one, the one farthest from where she prada borse s |

| The gates, please??
?Do you owe Cactus as much as I do, Doctor?? Jason held his place, looking at the Jamaican
?I owe him so much that I could never think of compromising him in a situation like tonightFor
God?s sake, he?s an old man, and no matter what deviant conclusions Langley wants to come up
with, tonight was murder, a particularly brutal killingNo, I wouldn?t involve himHe?d never forgive me if I didn?t
?You don?t think much of yourself, do you??
?Please close the gates, DoctorThere?s an alarm panel in the hallway I can activate when
they?re shut
Jax hesitated, as if unsure of what he wanted to say?Listen,? he began haltingly, ?most sane
people have reasons for saying things?doing thingsMy guess is you?re saneCall Alex if you
need me?if old Cactus needs me The doctor left, rushing out the door
Bourne turned and glanced around the roomSince Flannagan and Rachel Swayne omega usa had left
nearly three hours ago, he had searched every foot of the general?s study, as well as the dead
soldier?s separate bedroom on the second floorHe had placed the items he intended to take on the
brass coffee table; he studied them nowThere were three brown leather-bound covers, each equal
in size, each holding inserted spiral-bound pages; they were a desk setThe first was an
appointments calendar; the second, a personal telephone book in which the names and numbers
were entered in ink; the last was an expense diary, barely touchedAlong with these were eleven
office messages of the telephone notepad variety, which Jason found in Swayne?s pockets, a golfclub
scorecard and several memoranda written at the PentagonFinally, there was the general?s
wallet containing a profusion of impressive credentials and very little moneyBourne would turn
everything over to Alex and hope replica fendi spy further leads would be found, but as far as he could determine, he
had turned up nothing startling, nothing dramatically relevant to the modern MedusaAnd that
bothered him; there had to be somethingThis was the old soldier?s home, his sanctum sanctorum
inside that home?something! He knew it, he felt it, but he could not find itSo he started again,
not foot by foot now; instead, inch by inch
Fourteen minutes later, as he was removing and turning over the photographs on the wall behind
the desk, the wall to the right of the cushioned bay window that overlooked the lawn outside, he
recalled Conklin?s words about checking the windows and the curtains so that no one could enter or
observe the scene inside
Christ, it must be a mess in there
It?s not very pleasantThe panes of the central bay window frame were splattered with blood and membranethe small brass latch? Not only was it free from necklace chanel its catch, the window itself was open?
barely open, but nevertheless it was openBourne knelt on the cushioned seat and looked closely at
the shiny brass fixture and the surrounding panes of glassThere were smudges among the rivulets
of dried blood and tissue, coarse pressings on the stains that appeared to widen and thin them out
into irregular shapesThen below the sill he saw what kept the window from closingThe end of
the left drape had been drawn out, a small piece of its tasseled fabric wedged beneath the lower
window frameJason stepped back bewildered but not really surprisedThis was what he had been
looking for, the missing piece in the complex puzzle that was the death of Norman Swayne
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
112
Someone had climbed out that window after the shot that blew the general?s skull apart
Someone who could not risk being seen going through the new omega watches front hall or out, the front door
Someone who knew the house and the grounds A brutal killer from Medusa
Goddamn it!
Who? Who had been here? Flannagan Swayne?s wife! They would know, they had to know!
Bourne lurched for the telephone on the desk; it began ringing before his hand touched it
?Alex??
?No, Br?er Rabbit, it?s just an old friend, and I didn?t realize we were so free with names
?We?re not, we shouldn?t be,? said Jason rapidly, imposing a control on himself he could barely
exercise?Something happened a moment ago?I found somethingWhat can I do for you??
?I need you?out here where I amAre you free??
?Well, let?s see Cactus chuckled as he spoke?There are several board meetings I should
rightfully attend, and the White House wants me for a power breakfastWhen and where, Br?er
Rabbit??
?Not alone, old friendI want three or four others with youIs that possible??
