| Isn?t that what we
were looking for? A collection of former Medusans who?d run to the hills at the thought of the past
coming to light??
?Then that?s it
?No, it?s not, and this is Saint Alex?s instincts searching for wordsTheir reactions were too
immediate, too visceral, too loaded with today, not twenty years agoSomething?s different from what we expected, and I?m goddamned sick of
making mistakesBut this isn?t a mistakeYou said this morning that it could be a net work, and
I thought you were way the hell off baseI thought that maybe we?d find a few high profiles who
didn?t want to be publicly drawn and quartered for things they did twenty years ago, or who
legitimately didn?t want to embarrass the government, and we could use omega seamaster gold them, force them in their
collective fear to do things and say things we told them to doBut this is differentIt?s today, and I
can?t figure it outIt?s more than fear, it?s panic; they?re frightened out of their mindsWe?ve
bumbled and stumbled onto something, MrBourne, and in your rich friend Cactus?s old-time
minstrel-show language, ?In the focus, it could be bigger than bo?fus
?In my considered opinion there?s, nothing bigger than the Jackal! Not for meThe rest can go
to hell
?I?m on your side and I?ll go to the wall shouting itI just wanted you to know my thoughts
Except for a brief and pretty rotten interlude, we never kept anything from each other, David
?I prefer Jason these days
?Yes, I know,? interrupted Conklin?I hate tiffany toggle necklace it but I understand
?Do you??
?Yes,? said Alex softly, nodding as he closed his eyes?I?d do anything to change it but I can?tIn that serpentine mind of yours?Cactus?s description, incidentally?
conjure up the worst scenario you can think of and shove those bastards against another wall, one
they can?t get away from unscathed unless they follow your instructions down to the letterThose
orders will be to stay quiet and wait for you to call and tell them who to reach and what to say
Conklin looked over at his damaged friend with guilt and concern?There may be a scenario in
place that I can?t match,? said Alex quietly?I won?t make another mistake, not in that areaI need
more than what I?ve got
Bourne clasped his hands, flesh angrily black chanel tote grinding flesh in frustrationHe stared at the scattered
printouts in front of him, frowning, wincing, his jaw pulsatingIn seconds a sudden passivity came
over him; he sat back on the couch and spoke as quietly as Conklin?All right, you?ll get itI?ll need names, residences, schedules and methods of security, favorite
restaurants and bad habits, if any are knownTell your boys to go to workAll night, if
necessary

?What the hell do you think you?re going to do?? shouted Conklin, his frail body lurching
forward in the armchair?Storm their houses? Stick needles in their asses between the appetizer and
the entr?e??
?I hadn?t thought of the last option,? replied Jason, smiling grimly?You?ve chanel white watches really got a terrific
imagination
?And you?re a madman! I?m sorry, I didn?t mean that??
?Why not?? broke in Bourne gently?I?m not lecturing on the rise of the Manchu and the Ching
dynastyConsidering the accepted state of my mind and memory, the allusion to mental health isn?t
inappropriate Jason paused, then spoke as he leaned slowly forward?But let me tell you
something, AlexThe memories may not all be there, but the part of my mind that you and
Treadstone formed is all thereI proved it in Hong Kong, in Beijing and Macao, and I?ll prove it
againThere?s nothing left for me if I don?tNow, get me the informationYou

| Jamie liked me, but that was just some strange chemical reaction that was
far from rationalJeb liked me, but Jeb was crazyThe rest of them didn't have either excuse
No, they didn't like meBut things changed when I started talking
The first time I noticed it was the morning after I answered Doc's questions at dinner; I was in
the black bathing room, washing clothes with Trudy, Lily, and Jamie
?Could you hand me the soap, please, Wanda?? Trudy asked from my left
An electric current ran through my body at the sound of my name spoken by a female voice
Numbly, I passed her the soap and then rinsed the sting off my hand
?Thank you,? she added
?You're welcome,? I murmuredMy voice cracked on the last syllable
I passed Lily in the hall a day later on my way to find Jamie before dinner
?Wanda,? she said, nodding
?Lily,? I answered, my throat dry
Soon it wasn't just Doc and Ian who asked miu miu coffer questions at nightIt surprised me who the most
vocal were: exhausted Walter, his face a worrisome shade of gray, was endlessly interested in
the Bats of the Singing WorldHeath, usually silent, letting Trudy and Geoffrey talk for him,
was outspoken during these eveningsHe had some fascination with Fire World, and though it
was one of my least favorite stories to tell, he peppered me with questions until he'd heard every
detail I knewLily was concerned with the mechanics of things?she wanted to know about the
ships that carried us from planet to planet, their pilots, their fuelIt was to Lily that I explained
the cryotanks?something they had all seen but few understood the purpose ofShy Wes, usually
sitting close to Lily, asked not about other planets but about this oneHow did it work? No
money, no recompense for work?why did our souls' society not fall apart? I tried to explain black gucci bag that
it was not so different from life in the cavesDid we not all work without money and share in
the products of our labor equally?
?Yes,? he interrupted me, shaking his head?But it's different here?Jeb has a gun for the
slackers
Everyone looked at Jeb, who winked, and then they all laughed
Jeb was in attendance about every other nightHe didn't participate; he just sat thoughtfully in
the back of the room, occasionally grinning
He was right about the entertainment factor; oddly, for we all had legs, the situation reminded
me of the See WeedsThere had been a special title for entertainers there, likeComforter
orHealer orSeekerI was one of theStorytellers, so the transition to a teacher here on Earth had
not been such a change, profession-wise, at leastIt was much the same in the kitchen after
dark, with the smell of smoke and baking bread filling the roomEveryone was stuck fendi spy here, as
good as plantedMy stories were something new, something to think about besides the
usual?the same endlessly repeated sweaty chores, the same thirty-five faces, the same memories
of other faces that brought the same grief with them, the same fear and the same despair that
had long been familiar companionsAnd so the kitchen was always full for my casual lessons
Only Sharon and Maggie were conspicuously and consistently absent
I was in about my fourth week as an informal teacher when life in the caves changed again
The kitchen was crowded, as was usualJeb and Doc were the only ones missing besides the
normal twoOn the counter next to me was a metal tray of dark, doughy rolls, swollen to twice
the size they'd started atThey were ready for the oven, as soon as the current tray was done
Trudy checked every few minutes to make sure nothing was burning
Often, I tried to get Jamie gucci paolo watches to talk for me when he knew the story wellI liked to watch the
enthusiasm light up his face, and the way he used his hands to draw pictures in the airTonight,
Heidi wanted to know more about the Dolphins, so I asked Jamie to answer her questions as
well as he could
The humans always spoke with sadness when they asked about our newest acquisitionThey
saw the Dolphins as mirrors of themselves in the first years of the occupationHeidi's dark eyes,
disconcerting underneath her fringe of white-blond hair, were tight with sympathy as she asked
her questions
?They look more like huge dragonflies than fish, right, Wanda?? Jamie almost always asked for
corroboration, though he never waited for my answer?They're all leathery, though, with three,
four, or five sets of wings, depending on how old they are, right? So they kind of fly through the
water?it's lighter than water here, less black chanel handbags dens |

?I realize that I look rather shabby, madam, but I assure you it?s purely an exterior impression
I?m a doctor and I?ve been in an accident??
?Get in, for Christ?s sake!?
?Thank you so very much No sooner had Mo closed the door than the woman slammed the car
into gear, gunned the engine to its maximum, and seemingly launched off the rough pavement and
down the road?You?re obviously in a hurry,? offered Panov
?So would you be, pal, if you were me, I gotta husband back there who?s puttin? his truck
together to come after my ass!?
?Oh, really??
?Stupid fuckin? jerk! He rolls across the country three weeks outta the month layin? every broad
on the highways, then blows his keister when he finds out I had a little fun of my own
?Oh, I?m terribly sorry
?You?ll be a hell of a lot sorrier if he catches up with us
?I beg your pardon??
?You really a doctor??
?Yes, I am
?Maybe we can do business
?I beg your pardon??
?Can balenciaga bag you handle an abortion??

Bourne walked for nearly an hour through the streets of Paris trying to clear his head, ending up at
the Seine, on the Pont de Solferino, the bridge that led to the Quai des Tuileries and the gardensAs
he leaned against the railing absently watching the boats lazily plowing the waters below, the
question kept assaulting him: Why, why, why? What did Marie think she was doing? Flying over to
Paris! It wasn?t just foolish, it was stupid?yet his wife was neither a fool nor an idiotShe was a
very bright lady with reserves of control and a quick, analytical mindThat was what made her
decision so untenable; what could she possibly hope to accomplish? She had to know he was far
safer working alone rather than worrying about her while tracking the JackalEven if she found
him, the risk was doubled for both of them, and that she white ceramic chanel watch had to understand completelyFigures and
projections were her professionSo why?
There was only one conceivable answer, and it infuriated himShe thought he might slip back
over the edge as he had done in Hong Kong, where she alone had brought him to his senses, to the
reality that was uniquely his own, a reality of frightening half truths and only partial remembrances,
episodic moments she lived with every day of their lives togetherGod, how he adored her; he
loved her so! And the fact that she had made this foolish, stupid, untenable decision only fueled
that love because it was so?so giving, so outrageously unselfishThere were moments in the Far
East when he had craved his own death, if only to expunge the guilt he felt at putting her in such
dangerous?untenable??positionsThe guilt was still there, always there, but the aging man in
him recognized another realityThe cancer of the Jackal had to be ripped out of old omega watches all
their livesCouldn?t she realize that and leave him alone?
NoFor she was not flying to Paris to save his life?she had too much confidence in Jason
Bourne for thatShe was coming to Paris to save his mindI?ll handle it, MarieI can and will
handle it!
BernardineThe Deuxi?me could find her at Orly or De GaulleFind her and
take her, put her under guard at a hotel and claim no one knew where he wasJason ran from the
Pont de Solferino to the Quai des Tuileries and to the first telephone he could find
?Can you do it?? asked Bourne?She?s only got one updated passport and it?s American, not
Canadian
?I can try on my own,? answered Bernardine, ?but not with any help from the Deuxi?meI don?t
know how much Saint Alex told you, but at the moment my consultant status has been canceled
and I think my desk has been thrown out the window
?Shit!?
?Merde to the triple, mon amiThe Quai d?Orsay wants my underwear burned with me in it, le dix balenciaga and
were it not for certain information I possess regarding several members of the Assembly, they
would no doubt revive the guillotine
?Can you pass around some money at immigration??
?It would be better if I acted in my former official capacity on the assumption that the Deuxi?me
does not so swiftly advertise its embarrassmentsHer full name, pleaseJacques Webb??
?Ah, yes, I recall now, at least the StJacques,? broke in Bernardine?The celebrated Canadian
economistThe newspapers were filled with her photographLa belle mademoiselle
?It was exposure she could have done without

?Yes

?But let me tell you how ??
?No, WandaIt's not going to go down that wayI'll shoot anyone who touches you
?Jared ??
?Don't panicI'll aim low, and then you can use that stuff to heal 'em back up again
?If that's a joke, it's not funny
?Where's the blindfold??
He pressed his lips together
But I had my old shirt?Jeb's raggy hand-me-downThat would work almost as well
?This will make it a little bit easier for them to let us in,? I said as I shop prada handbags folded it up into a thick
band?And that means getting to Jamie faster I tied it over my eyes
It was quiet for a timeThe jeep bounced along the uneven terrainI remembered nights like
this when Melanie had been the passenger
?I'm taking us right to the cavesThere's a place the jeep will be fairly well hidden for a day or
two
?Almost there,? he said after a minute
I heard him fumbling beside me, heard a metal clank as he pulled the gun from the cheap chanel purses backseat
?Don't shoot anyone
?Stop!? someone shoutedThe sound carried in the empty desert air
The jeep slowed and then idled
?It's just us,? Jared said
There was hesitation from the other side
?Look?I'm bringing the jeep in under cover, okay? We've got meds for Jamie, and we're in a
hurryI don't care what you're thinking, you're not going to get in my way tonight
The jeep pulled forwardThe sound changed and echoed as he found his cover
?Okay, relojes omega Wanda, everything's fine
I already had the pack on my shouldersI got out of the jeep carefully, not sure where the wall
wasJared caught my searching hands
?Up you go,? he said, and lifted me over his shoulder again
I wasn't as secure as beforeHe used only one arm to hold meThe other must have had the
gun
But I was worried enough to be grateful for it when I heard the running footsteps approaching
?Jared, youidiot! ? Kyle shouted?What were you tiffany jewelry canada thinking??
?Ease up, Kyle,? Jeb said
?Is she hurt?? Ian demanded
?Get out of my way,? Jared said, his voice calmWanda's in perfect shape, but
she insisted on being blindfoldedHow is Jamie??
?Hot,? Jeb said
?Wanda's got what we need He was moving fast now, sliding downhill
?She's fine where she is
?I'm really okay,? I told Ian, my voice bouncing with Jared's movement

| The instant it happened the Jackal?s dark
brown van, instead of racing forward, lurched backward, jerking to a halt as the driver jumped out
of the cab, concealing himself behind it; he had spotted the Soviet backupAs the two Russians ran
toward the restaurant the Jackal?s driver killed one with a burst from his weaponThe other threw
himself into the bordering, sloping grass, watching helplessly as Carlos?s driver shot out the tires
and the windows of the Soviet vehicle
?Get out!? yelled Sergei, pulling Bourne from the seat onto the dirt by the fence, as his stunned
superior and Alex Conklin crawled out behind him
?Let?s go!? cried Jason, gripping the AK-47 and getting to his feet?That son of a bitch blew up
the car by remote
?I?ll go first!? said the Soviet
?Why??
?Frankly, I?m younger and stronger??
?Shut up!? Bourne raced ahead, zigzagging to draw fire, then plummeting to the ground when it
came from the driver of Carlos?s vanHe raised his weapon in the grass, knowing that the Jackal?s
man believed his fusillade had been accurate; the head appeared and then was no more as Jason
squeezed the trigger
The second Russian backup, hearing the death cry from behind the van, rose from the mulberry vintage sloping
grass and continued toward the restaurant?s entranceFrom inside came the sound of erratic
gunfire, sudden bursts accompanied by screams of panic, followed by additional burstsA living
nightmare of terror and blood was taking place within the confines of a once bucolic country inn
Bourne got to his feet, Sergei at his side; running, they joined the other surviving Soviet aideAt
Jason?s nod, the Russians pulled back the doors and as one they burst inside
The next sixty seconds were as terrifying as the shrieking hell depicted by MunchA waiter and
two of the men who were among the three couples were dead, the waiter and one man sprawled on
the floor, their skulls shattered, what was left of their faces lying in blood; the third man was
splayed back in the banquette, his eyes wide and glass-dead, his clothes riddled with bullets,
rivulets of blood rolling down the fabricThe women were in total shock, alternately moaning and
screaming as they kept trying to crawl over the pine walls of the boothThe well-dressed man and
wife from the Italian embassy were nowhere in sight
Sergei suddenly rushed forward, his weapon on auto fire; in a rear corner of the room he had
spotted a figure whom Bourne had not seenThe vintage gucci bags stocking-faced killer sprang out of the shadows,
his machine swinging into position, but before he could exercise his advantage, the Soviet cut him
downAnother! A body lurching behind the short counter that served as a barWas it the Jackal?
Jason pivoted into the diagonal wall, crouching, his eyes darting into every recess in the vicinity of
the wine racksHe lunged to the base of the bar as the second Russian backup, assessing the
situation, ran to the hysterical women, spinning around, his gun swinging back and forth protecting
themThe stocking-faced head shot up from behind the counter, his weapon surging out over the
woodBourne sprang to his feet, gripping the hot barrel with his left hand, his right commanding
the AK-47; he fired point-blank into the terrorist?s contorted face beyond the silk
Where was the Jackal?
?In there!? shouted Sergei as if he had heard Jason?s furious question
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
321
?Where??
?Those doors!?
It was the country restaurant?s kitchenBoth men converged on the swinging doorsAgain
Bourne nodded, the signal for them to crash inside, but before they could move, both were partially
blown back by an explosion from within; a grenade had been set balenciaga first off, with fragments of metal and
glass embedded in the doorsThe smoke billowed, wafting out into the dining room; the smell was
acrid, sickening
Jason and Sergei once more approached the kitchen?s entrance, and once again they were
stopped by a second sudden explosion followed by staccato gunfire, the bullets piercing the thin,
louvered panels of the swinging doors
It was too much for the furious, impassioned ChameleonHe cracked the bolt of his AK-47,
pulled the selective lever and then the trigger for auto fire, and crashed the doors open, lunging for
the floor
Another scene from another hellA section of the outside wall had been blown away, the obese
owner and his chef, still wearing his toque, were dead, corpses pinned against the lower shelves of
the kitchen, blood streaming across and down the wood
Bourne slowly rose to his feet, his legs in agony, every nerve in his body frayed, the edge of
hysteria not far awayAs if in a trance, he looked around through the smoke and the debris, his eyes
finally settling on a large, ominous fragment of brown butcher?s paper nailed to the wall with a
heavy cleaverHe approached it and, yanking out the cleaver, read the words printed in a black
butcher?s omega aqua terra watch pencil:
The trees of Tannenbaum will burn and children will be the kindlingSleep well, Jason Bourne
The mirrors of his life were shattered into a thousand pieces of glassThere was nothing else to
do but scream

?Stop it, David!?
?My God, he?s insane, AlekseiSergei, grab him, hold himYou, help Sergei! Put him on the
ground so I can talk to himWe must leave here quickly!?
It was all the two Russian aides could do to wrestle the screaming Bourne to the grassHe had
raced out through the exploded hole in the wall, running into the high grass in a futile attempt to
find the Jackal, firing his AK-47 into the field beyond until his magazine was emptySergei and the
surviving backup had rushed in after him, the former ripping the weapon out of Jason?s hands,
together leading the hysterical man back to the rear of the mutilated country inn, where Alex and
Krupkin were waiting for themForcibly, their charge in a sweating, erratically breathing trance,
the five men walked rapidly to the front of the restaurant; there the uncontrollable hysteria again
seized the Chameleon
The Jackal?s van was goneCarlos had reversed his line of flight and escaped and Jason Bourne
had gone silver handbags |

?These are your tools,? said the woman, handing him the key, her flat, expressionless gray eyes
boring into his own, ?and the targets are in the last villa on this rowYou are to familiarize yourself
with the area by taking extended walks on the path, as old men do for circulatory purposes, and you
are to kill themYou are to do this wearing the gloves and firing the gun into each skullThen each throat must be slit??
?Mother of God, the children?s??
?Those are the orders
?They?re barbaric!?
?Do you wish me to convey that judgment??
Fontaine looked over at the balcony door, at his woman in the wheelchair?No, no, of course
notThere is a final instructionWith whosesoever blood is most convenient, you
are to write on the wall the following: ?Jason Bourne, brother of the JackalI?ll be caught, of courseCoordinate the executions with me and I?ll swear a great warrior of France

Brendan Patrick Pierre Prefontaine was again astonishedThough he had no reservation, the front
desk of Tranquility Inn treated him like a visiting celebrity, then only moments after he had secured
a villa told him that he already had a villa and asked How was the flight from Paris? Confusion
descended for several minutes as the owner of Tranquility Inn could not be reached for
consultation; he was not at his residence, and if he was on the premises he could not be found
Ultimately hands were thrown up in frustration and the former judge from Boston was taken to his
lodgings, a lovely miniature house overlooking the CaribbeanBy accident, hardly by design, he
had reached into the wrong pocket and given the manager behind the desk a fifty-dollar American
bill for his courtesyPrefontaine instantly became a man to be reckoned with; fingers snapped and
palms hit bells rapidlyNothing was too splendid for the bewildering stranger who had suddenly
flown in on the seaplane from MontserratIt was the cartier ronde name that had thrown everyone behind
Tranquility?s front desk into confusionCould such a coincidence be possible? Still the Crown
governor? Err on the safe side
Once settled, his casual clothes distributed in the closet and the bureau, the craziness continued
A chilled bottle of Chateau Carbonnieux ?78 accompanied fresh-cut flowers, and a box of Belgian
chocolates arrived, only to have a confused room-service waiter return to remove them, apologizing
for the fact that they were for another villa down the line?or up the line?he thought, mon
The judge changed into Bermuda shorts, wincing at the sight of his spindly legs, and put on a
subdued paisley sport shirtWhite loafers and a white cloth cap completed his tropical outfit; it
would be dark soon and he wanted a stroll
?I know who Jean Pierre Fontaine is,? said John StJacques, reading the register behind the front
desk, ?he?s the one the CG?s office called me about, but who the hell is BPrefontaine??
?An illustrious judge from the United States,? declared the tall black assistant balenciaga twiggy manager in a
distinct British accent?My uncle, the deputy director of immigration, phoned me from the airport
roughly two hours agoUnfortunately, I was upstairs when the confusion arose, but our people did
the right thing
?A judge?? asked the owner of Tranquility Inn as the assistant manager touched StJacques?s
elbow, gesturing for him to move away from the desk and the clerks?What did
your uncle say??
?There must be total privvissy where our two distinguished guests are concerned
?Why wouldn?t there be? What does that mean??
?My uncle was very discreet, but he did allow that he watched the honored judge go to the Inter-
Island counter and purchase a ticketHe further permitted himself to say that he knew he had been
rightThe judge and the French war hero are related and wish to meet confidentially on matters of
great import
?If that was the case, why didn?t the honored judge have a reservation??
?There appear to be two possible explanations, sirAccording to my uncle, they were originally
to meet at the airport but the Crown governor?s black quilted bag reception line precluded it
?What?s the second possibility??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
83
?An error may have been made in the judge?s own offices in Boston, MassachusettsAccording
to my uncle, there was a brief discussion regarding the judge?s law clerks, how they are prone to
errors and if one had been made with his passport, he?d fly them all down to apologize
?Then judges are paid a lot more in the States than they are in CanadaHe?s damned lucky we
had space
?It?s the summer season, sirWe usually have available space during these monthsAll right, so we?ve got two illustrious relatives who want to meet privately
but go about it in a very complicated wayMaybe you should call the judge and tell him what villa
Fontaine is inOr Prefontaine?whichever the hell it is
?I suggested that courtesy to my uncle, sir, and he was most adamantHe said we should do and
say absolutely nothingAccording to my uncle, all great men have secrets and he would not care to
have his own brilliant deduction revealed except by the parties silver chanel themsel |

?Sorry,? I whispered
He turned his hand up to hold mine?Don't apologize to me
?I should have knownOf course you fight backHow can I blame you for that??
?It's different with you hereIt should have stopped
But my being here had only made it that much more important to solve the problemHow to rip
me out and keep Melanie hereHow to erase me to bring her back
?All's fair in war,? I murmured, trying to smile
He grinned weakly back
?Okay, break it up,? chanel cambon fake Jeb mumbled
I looked at him curiouslyWhat more was there?
?Now He took a deep breath?Try not to freak out again, okay?? he asked, looking at me
I froze, gripping Ian's hand tighter
Ian threw an anxious glance at Jeb
?You're going to tell her?? Ian asked
?What now?? I gasped?What is itnow? ?
Jeb had his poker face on
Those two words turned the world upside down again
For three long days, I'd been Wanderer, a soul among humansI was suddenly Wanda omega geneve automatic again, a
very confused soul with human emotions that were too powerful to control
I jumped to my feet?yanking Ian up with me, my hand locked on his like a vise?and then
swayed, my head spinningI said don't freak out, WandaHe's just really anxious about youHe
heard what happened, and he's been asking for you?worried out of his mind, that kid is?and I
don't think it's good for himI came down here to ask you to go see himBut you can't go like
thisIt will dior saddle bag just upset him for no good reasonSit down and eat some more

?His leg?? I demanded
?There's a little infection,? Ian murmured?Doc wants him to stay down or he'd have come to

anyway?Jared almost came here and carried you out by force, but I told him to let me
speak to you firstIt wouldn't do the kid any good to see you catatonic
My blood felt as black fendi spy bag though it had changed into ice waterSurely just my imagination
?What's being done??
Jeb shruggedKid's strong; he'll fight it off
?Nothing to do? What do you mean??
?It's a bacterial infection,? Ian said?We don't have antibiotics anymore

release equipment, snapping the barrier up?Tell me!?
?Insanity, comrade!? shouted an officer from the gatehouse windowIt?s as if
the earth went crazy! First ?Germany,? all over there are explosions and fires in the streets and
buildings going up in flamesThe ground trembles, and we are told it?s some kind of massive
earthquakeThen it happens in ?Italy???Rome? is torched, and in the ?Greek? sector ?Athens? and
the port of ?Piraeus? are filled with fires everywhere and still the explosions continue, the streets in
flames!?
?What does Capital Headquarters say??
?They don?t know what to say! The earthquake nonsense was just that?nonsenseEveryone?s
in panic, issuing orders and then countermanding them Another wall phone rang inside the
gatehouse; the officer of the guard picked it up and listened, then instantly screamed at the top of
his lungs?Madness, it?s complete madness! Are you certain??
?What is it?? roared Benjamin, rushing to the window
? ?Egypt!? ? he screamed, his ear pressed to the telephone?Cairo? and ?Tel
Aviv??fires everywhere, bombs everywhere! No one can keep up with the devastation; the trucks

crash into one another in the narrow streetsThe hydrants are blown up; water flows in the gutters
but the streets are still in flamesAnd some idiot just got on the line and asked if the No Smoking
signs were properly placed while the wooden buildings are chanel diamond watches on their way to becoming rubble! Idiots
They are all idiots!?
?Get back here!? yelled Bourne, having made the jeep lurch through the gate?He?s in here
somewhere! You drive and I?ll?? Jason?s words were cut off by a deafening explosion up ahead in
the center of ?Madrid?s? Paseo del PradoIt was an enormous detonation, lumber and stone arcing
up into the flaming skyThen, as if the Paseo itself were a living, throbbing immense wall of fire,
the flames rolled forward, swinging to the left out of the ?city? into the road that was the approach
to the border gate?Look!? shouted Bourne, reaching down out of the jeep, his hand scraping the
graveled surface beneath; he brought his fingers to his face, his nostrils?The
whole goddamned road?s soaked with gasoline!? A burst of fire imploded thirty yards in front of
the jeep, sending stones and dirt smashing into the metal grille, and propelling the flames forward
with increasing speed?Plastics!? said Jason to himself, then yelled at Benjamin, who was running
to the jeep, ?Go back there! Get everyone out of here! The son of a bitch has the place ringed with
plastics! Head for the river!?
?I?m going with you!? shouted the young Soviet, grabbing the edge of the door
?Sorry, Junior,? cried Bourne, gunning the engine and swerving the army vehicle back into the
open gate, sending Benjamin sprawling onto the gravel?This is for grown-ups
?What are you doing?? screamed Benjamin, his voice fading as the jeep sped across the border
?The fuel truck, that lousy fuel truck!? whispered Jason as he raced into ?Strasbourg, France
It happened in ?Paris??where else prada fairy but Paris! The huge duplicate of the Eiffel Tower blew up
with such force that the earth shookRockets? Missiles? The Jackal had stolen missiles from the
Kubinka Armory! Seconds later, starting far behind him, the explosions began as the streets burst
into flamesAll ?France? was being destroyed in a way that the madman Adolf Hitler
could only have envisaged in his most twisted dreamsPanicked men and women ran through the
alleyways and the streets, screaming, falling, praying to gods their leaders had forsworn
?England!? He had to get into ?England? and then ultimately into ?America,? where all his
instincts told him the end would come?one way or anotherHe had to find the truck that was
being driven by the Jackal and destroy bothHe could do it?he could do it! Carlos thought he was
dead and that was the key, for the Jackal would do what he had to do, what he, Jason Bourne,
would do if he were CarlosWhen the holocaust he had ignited was at its zenith, the Jackal would
abandon the truck and put into play his means of escape?his escape to Paris, the real Paris, where
his army of old men would spread the word of their monseigneur?s triumph over the ubiquitous,
disbelieving SovietsIt would be somewhere near the tunnel; that was a given
The race through ?London,? ?Coventry? and ?Portsmouth? could only be likened to the
newsreel footage from World War II depicting the carnage hurled down on Great Britain by the
Luftwaffe, compounded by first the screaming and then the silent terror of the V-2 and V-5 rockets
But the residents of Novgorod were not British?forbearance gave way to mass hysteria, chanel handbags collection concern
for all became survival for self aloneAs the impressive reproductions of Big Ben and the Houses
of Parliament crashed down in flames and the aircraft factories of ?Coventry? were reduced to
raging fires, the streets swelled with screaming, horrified crowds racing through the roads that led
to the Volkhov River and the shipyards of ?Portsmouth There, from the scaled-down piers and
slips, scores threw themselves into rushing waters only to be caught in the magnesium grids where
sharp, jagged bolts of electricity blazingly zigzagged through the air, leaving limp bodies floating
toward the next metal traps above and below the angry surfaceIn paralyzed fragments, the crowds

watched and turned in panic, fighting their way back into the miniaturized city of ?Portsea?; the
guards had abandoned their posts and chaos ruled the night
Snapping on the jeep?s searchlight, Bourne drove in sudden spurts down alleyways and the less
crowded narrow streets?south, always southHe grabbed a flare from the army vehicle?s floor,
pulled the release string, and proceeded to thrust the spitting, hissing, blinding burst of fire into the
hands and faces of the hysterical racing stragglers who tried to climb on boardThe sight of the
constantly pulsating flame so close to their eyes was enough; each screamed and recoiled in terror,
no doubt thinking yet another explosive had detonated in his or her immediate vicinity
A graveled road! The gates to the American compound were less than a hundred yards away
The graveled road? Soaked with fuel! The plastic charges had saddle christian dior not gone off?but they would in a
matter of moments, creating a wall of fire, enveloping the jeep and its driver! With the accelerator
pressed to the floor, Jason raced to the gateIt was deserted?and the iron barrier was down! He
slammed on the brakes, skidding to a stop, hoping beyond reasonable hope that no sparks would fly
out and ignite the gravelPlacing the spewing flare on the metal floor, he swiftly removed two
grenades from his pockets?grenades he was loath to part with?pulled the pins, and hurled both
toward the gateThe massive explosions blew the barricade away and instantly set the graveled
road on fire, the leaping flames immediate?enveloping him! He had no choice; he threw the hot
flare away and sped through the tunnel of fire into Novgorod?s final largest compoundAs he did
so the concrete guardhouse at the ?English? border exploded; glass, stone and shards of metal shot
out and up everywhere
He had been so filled with anxiety on their way to the crossing into ?Spain? that he barely
recalled the diminutive replicas of the ?American? cities and towns, much less the fastest routes
that led to the tunnelHe had merely followed young Benjamin?s harsh shouted commands, but he
did remember that the California-bred trainer kept referring to the ?coast road?like Route One,
man, up to Carmel!? It was, of course, those streets closest to the Volkhov, which in turn became,
in no order of geographical sequence, a shoreline in ?Maine,? the Potomac River of ?Washington,?
and the northern waters of Long Island Sound that housed the naval base at ?New London
The madness had reached omega seamaster fake ?Amer |

| Manic, you can bet your ass on it, but not kidsThey were infected
with a rotten virus called unaccountability, and more than a few millionaires were made in the
ubiquitous Command SaigonThe real kids were being maimed and killed in the jungles while a lot
of pressed khaki in the South had personal couriers routed through Switzerland and the banks on
Zurich?s BahnhofstrasseYou could be speaking of some very important people in our government
?Who are they?? asked Webb quietly, his glass poised in front of him
?The ones I knew who were up to their necks in garbage I made damn sure faded after Saigon
fellBut I was out of the field a couple of years before then, and nobody talks very much about
those months and nothing at all about Snake Lady
?Still, you?ve got to have some ideas
?Sure, but nothing concrete, nothing even close to proofJust possibilities based on life-styles,
on real estate they shouldn?t have or places they go they shouldn?t be able to deville watch afford or the positions

some hold or held in corporations justifying salaries and stock options when nothing in their
backgrounds justified the jobs
?You?re describing a network,? said David, his voice now tight, the voice of Jason Bourne
?If it is, it?s very tight,? agreed Conklin
?Draw up a list, Alex
?It?d be filled with holes
?Then keep it at first to those important people in our government who were attached to
Command SaigonMaybe even further to the ones who have real estate they shouldn?t have or who
held high-paying jobs in the private sector they shouldn?t have gotten
?I repeat, any such list could be worthless
?Not with your instincts
?David, what the hell has any of this to do with Carlos??
?Part of the truth, AlexA dangerous part, I grant you, but foolproof and irresistible to the
Jackal
Stunned, the former field officer stared at his friend?In what way??
?That?s where your creative thinking gucci bookbag comes inSay you come up with fifteen or twenty names,
you?re bound to hit three or four targets we can confirm one way or anotherOnce we ascertain
who they are, we apply pressure, squeezing them in different ways, delivering the same basic
message: A former Medusan has gone over the edge, a man who?s been in protective custody for
years is about to blow the head off Snake Lady and he?s got the ammunition?names, crimes, the
locations of secret Swiss accounts, the whole Caesar saladThen?and this?ll test the talents of the
old Saint Alex we all knew and revered?word is passed on that there?s someone who wants this
dangerous, disgruntled turncoat more than they do
?Ilich Ramirez Sanchez,? supplied Conklin softlyAnd what follows is
equally impossible: Somehow?only God knows how?word gets out calling for a meeting
between the two interested partiesThat is to say, interested in a joint assassination, the parties of
the first part unable to participate actively, fake birkin due to the sensitive nature of their high official
positions, is that about it??
?Just about, except that these same powerful men in Washington can gain access to the identity
and the whereabouts of this much desired corpse-to-be
?Naturally,? agreed Alex, nodding in disbelief?They simply wave a wand and all the
restrictions applicable to maximum-classified files are lifted and they?re given the information
?Exactly,? said David firmly?Because whoever meets with Carlos?s emissaries has to be so
high up, so authentic, that the Jackal has no choice but to accept him or themHe can?t have any
doubts, all thoughts of a trap gone with their coming forward
?Would you also like me to make baby roses bloom during a January blizzard in Montana??
?Close to itEverything?s got to happen within the next day or two while Carlos is still stinging
from what happened at the SmithsonianI?ll set up shop here and have Langley send me what I need
Four Zero security, of cheap prada handbags courseI hate like hell to lose whoever it is at the Mayflower
?We may not,? said Webb?Whoever it is won?t fold so fastIt?s not like the Jackal to leave an
obvious hole like that
?The Jackal? You think it?s Carlos himself??
?Not him, of course, but someone on his payroll, someone so unlikely he could carry a sign
around his neck with the Jackal?s name on it and we wouldn?t believe him
?Chinese??

?MaybeHe might play that out and then he might notHe?s geometric; whatever he does is
logical, even his logic seems illogical
?I hear a man from the past, a man who never was
Conklin looked toward the door of the apartment, David?s words suddenly provoking another
thought?Where?s your suitcase?? he asked?You brought some clothes, didn?t you??
?No clothes, and these will be dropped in a Washington sewer once I have othersBut first I

?Earth is? very interesting,? I murmured?It's harder than any place I've been before
?Harder than the place with the frozen air and the claw beasts?? he asked
?In its own way, yes How could I explain that the Mists Planet only came at you from the
outside?it was much more difficult to be attacked from within
Attacked,Melanie scoffed wasn't actually thinking of you, I told her was thinking of these unstable emotions,
always betraying meBut you did attack mePushing your memories on me that way
I learned my lesson,she assured me fendi replica spy bag drylyI could feel how intensely aware she was of the hand
in mineThere was an emotion slowly building in her that I didn't recognizeSomething on the
edge of anger, with a hint of desire and a portion of despair
Jealousy,she enlightened me?I'm being downright rude, I guessYou must be bushed?walking all over
today and then me keepin' you up half the night talkingOught to be a better hostC'mon,
Jamie, let's go and let Wanda get some sleepIt felt as if it had been a very long day, and, from Jeb's words, perhaps that
wasn't in my imagination balenciaga blue Jamie jumped lightly to his feet and then offered his hand to the old man Jeb groaned as he got up?And thanks to you, too,? he added in my direction
?Most interesting conversation I've had in? well, probably foreverRest your voice up, Wanda,
because my curiosity is a powerful thingAh, there he is! 'Bout time
Only then did I hear the sound of approaching footstepsAutomatically, I shrank against the
wall and scooted farther back into the cave-room, and then felt more exposed because the
moonlight was brighter inside
I was surprised zucca spy fendi bag that this was the first person to turn in for the night; the corridor appeared to
house manyI got to talking with Sharon, and then I sort of dozed off
It was impossible not to recognize this easy, gentle voiceMy stomach rolled, unstable, and I
wished it were empty
?We didn't even notice, Doc,? Jeb said?We were having the time of our lives hereSomeday
you'll have to get her to tell you some of her stories?great stuffShe's got
to be pretty worn out, I'd betWe'll see you in the morning
The doctor was spreading a mat out in front of replica fendi spy the cave entrance, just as Jared had
?Keep an eye on this,? Jeb said, laying the gun beside the mat
?Are you okay, Wanda?? Jamie asked
I hadn't realized it, but my whole body was quiveringI didn't answer him?my throat felt
swollen shut
?Now, now,? Jeb said in a soothing voice?I asked Doc if he minded taking a shiftYou don't
need to worry about anythingDoc's an honorable man
The doctor smiled a sleepy smile?I'm not going to hurt you? Wanda, is it? I promiseI'll just
keep watch while you sleep
I bit my lip, and the quivering didn't chanel cc necklace sto |
