?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 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 white chanel watch ceramic the inevitable reactionIf Jeb
insisted on treating me like? 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 mess hall
until buy chanel bag 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 lighter-colored substance?cement??running between them, creating seams,
holding them togetherOn top of mulberry bags 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 to me
Melanie's cousin and aunt glared at Jeb furiously?I had an odd conviction that I could have
stood on my head and bellowed songs out of Melanie's memory at the top of my lungs and chanel logo earrings they
still would not have looked at me?but the doctor eyed me with a frank and almost friendly
curiosity that made me feel cold deep inside my bones
At the back end of the hall-shaped room, I recognized the tall man with ink black hair and my
heart stutteredI'd thought Jared was supposed to take the hostile brothers with him to make
Jeb's job of keeping me alive slightly easierAt least it was the younger one, Ian, who had
belatedly developed a conscience?not quite as bad as leaving Kyle behindThat consolation did
not slow my racing pulse, however
?Everybody full so quick?? Jeb asked loudly and sarcastically
?Lost our appetites,? Maggie muttered
?How 'bout you,? he said, turning to men's gucci wallet |

?How? Two and a half million is a lot to pay on your wordHow??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
179
Again smiling, the Mafia supremo reached into his pocket and pulled out the small notebook
Steven DeSole had returned to him?Close friends are the best sources, AlbyAsk the sleazes who
write all those gossip books
?You won?t get near themYou think you?re dealing with old Chicago and the animals? With Mad Dog
Capone and Nitti, the nervous fingerWe got sophisticated people on the payroll these daysScientists, electronics whiz kids?doctorsBy the time we get finished with the spook
and the yid, they won?t know what happenedBut we?ll have Jason Bourne, the character who
doesn?t exist because he?s already dead
Albert Armbruster nodded once and turned to the window in see by chloe bags silence
?I?ll close up for six months, change the name, then start a promotional campaign in the
magazines before reopening,? said John StJacques, standing by the window as the doctor worked
on his brother-in-law
?There?s no one left?? asked Bourne, wincing as he sat in a chair dressed in a bathrobe, the last
suture on his neck being pinceredSeven crazy Canadian couples, including my old buddy, who?s needlepointing
your throat at the momentWould you believe they wanted to start up a brigade, Renfrews of the
Mounties, after the evil people
?That was Scotty?s idea,? interrupted the doctor softly, concentrating on the wound
?So?s he but he doesn?t know itThen he wanted to advertise a reward to the tune of a hundred
thousand for information leading to the et cetera! I finally convinced paolo gucci women's watches him that the less said the
better
?Nothing said is the best,? added Jason?That?s the way it?s got to be
?That?s a little tough, David,? said StJacques, misunderstanding the sharp glance Bourne
leveled at him?I?m sorry, but it isWe?re deflecting most of the local inquiries with an ersatz story
about a massive propane-gas leak, but not too many people are buying itOf course, to the world
outside, an earthquake down here wouldn?t rate six lines buried in the last pages of the want ads,
but rumors are flying around the Leewards
?You said local inquiries what about that world outside? Has there been anything from it??
?There will be but not about here, not about TranquilityMontserrat, yes, and the news will get a
column in the London Times and maybe an inch in the New York and prada borse Washington papers, but I
don?t think it?ll touch us
?Stop being so cryptic
?Say whatever you like, John,? broke in the doctor?I?m just about finished, so I?m not paying
much attention, and even if I heard you, I?m entitled to
?I?ll make it brief,? said StJacques, walking to the right of the chair?The Crown governor,? he
continued?You were right, at least I have to assume you were right
?Why??
?The news came in while you were getting cleaned upThe CG?s boat was found smashed on
one of the nastier reefs off Antigua, halfway to BarbudaThere was no sign of survivorsPlymouth
assumes it was one of those whipsaw squalls that can come out of south Nevis, but it?s hard to
swallowNot a squall necessarily, but the circumstances
?Which were??

?His usual two crewmen weren?t with himHe dismissed them at the yacht club, saying he
wanted to take the boat out by himself, yet he told Henry he was going out for the running big
fish??
?Which means he would?ve had to have a crew,? interrupted the Canadian physician
?Yes, he would?ve,? agreed the owner of Tranquility Inn?You can?t fish the big fellas and
skipper a boat at the same time?at least the CG couldn?tHe was afraid to take his eyes off the
charts
?But he could read them, couldn?t he?? asked Jason?The charts??
?As a navigator, he was no Captain Bligh sailing by the Pacific stars, but he was good enough to
stay out of trouble
?He was told to go out alone,? said Bourne?Ordered to rendezvous with a boat in waters that
called for him to really keep his eyes on the chanel handbags collection chart |

| I shuddered at his nameHe was a monster, tooHe was just like the rest of
themIt was a physical pain to think of him
?Where is she??
?Over here, JaredShe's not? responding
?We didn't touch her
?Here, give me the light,? Jared said?Now, the rest of you, get out of here
Give her some air, okay??
There was a shuffling noise that didn't travel far
The shuffling was slow at first, but then became more productiveI could hear many footsteps
fading away in the room and then disappearing out of it
Jared waited until it seamaster de ville was silent again
?Okay, Wanda, it's just you and me
He waited for some kind of answer
?Look, I guess that must have been pretty? badWe never wanted you to see that
Sorry? Geoffrey'd said it was Jared's ideaHe wanted to cut me out, slice me into little pieces,
fling my blood on the wallHe'd slowly mangle a million of me if he could find a way to keep
his favorite monster alive with himSlash us all to slivers
He was quiet for a long time, still waiting for me to react
?You look like you want to be aloneI can keep them tiffany and co necklace away, if that's what you
want
Something touched my shoulderI cringed away from it, into the sharp stones
?Sorry,? he muttered
I heard him stand, and the light?red behind my closed eyes?began to fade as he walked away
He met someone in the mouth of the cave
?Where is she??
?She wants to be alone
?Don't get in my way again, Howe
?Do you think she wants comfort from you? From a human??
?I wasn't party to this ??
Jared answered in a lower voice, but I could still hear the echoesYou're one of
us, IanDid you hear what prada black bags she said in there? She was screamingmonstersThat's
how she sees us nowShe doesn't want your comfort
They didn't speak againA minute passed, and I heard one set of slow footsteps moving around
the edge of the roomEventually, the light swept across me, turning my lids red again
I huddled myself more tightly together, expecting him to touch me
There was a quiet sigh, and then the sound of him sitting on the stone, not as close beside me
as I would have expected
With a click, the light disappeared
I waited in the silence vintage tank watch for a long time for him to speak, but he was just as silent as I was
Finally, I stopped waiting and returned to my mourningIan did not interruptI sat in the
blackness of the big hole in the ground and grieved for lost souls with a human at my side
CHAPTER 41
Vanished
Ian sat with me for three days in the darkness
He left for only a few short minutes at a time, to get us food and waterAt first, Ian ate, though
I did notThen, as he realized that it wasn't a loss of appetite that left my tray full, he stopped
eating, dior rasta bag |

He was brought in on everything we discussed, starting with your assault on us in the conference
room
?He certainly was, but that was limited to Bourne and the JackalThere was no mention of
Armbruster or Swayne, no Teagarten or Atkinson?the new Medusa wasn?t even in the picture
Hell, Peter, you didn?t know about it until seventy-two hours ago
?Yes, but DeSole did because he?d sold out; he was part of itHe had to have been alertedWe?ve been penetratedSome maniac says he?s going to expose us, blow us apart
You told me yourself that panic buttons were punched from the Trade Commission to Pentagon
Procurements to the embassy in London
?They were punched,? agreed Conklin?So hard that two of them had to be taken out along replica fendi spy bag with
Teagarten and our disgruntled MoleSnake Lady?s elders quickly decided who their vulnerable
people wereBut where does Carlos or Bourne fit in? There?s no attribution
?I thought we agreed that there was
?DeSole?? Conklin shook his head?It?s a provocative thought, but it doesn?t washHe couldn?t
have presumed that I knew about Medusa?s penetration because we hadn?t even started it
?But when you did, the sequence had to bother him if only in the sense that although they were
poles apart, one crisis followed too quickly upon anotherWhat was it? A matter of hours??
?Less than twenty-four Still, they were poles apart
?Not for an analyst?s analyst,? countered Holland?If it walks like an odd duck and sounds like
an odd duck, look for an classic chanel handbag odd duckI submit that somewhere along the line DeSole made the
connection between Jason Bourne and the madman who had infiltrated Medusa?the new
Medusa
?For Christ?s sake, how??
?I don?t knowMaybe because you told us Bourne came out of the old Saigon Medusa?that?s
one hell of a connection to begin with
?My God, you may be right,? said Alex, falling back on the couch?The driving force we gave
our unnamed madman was that he?d been cut off from, the new MedusaI used the words myself
with every phone call?He?s spent years putting it together ?He?s got names and ranks and
banks in ZurichJesus, I?m blind! I said those things to total strangers on a telephone fishing
expedition and never even thought about having mentioned gucci hobo Bourne?s origins in Medusa at that
meeting when DeSole was here
?Why should you have thought about it? You and your man decided to play a separate game all
by yourselves
?The reasons were goddamned valid,? broke in Conklin?For all I knew, you were a Medusan
?Come on, don?t give me that shit?We?ve got a top max out at Langley? those were the
words I heard from LondonWhat would you have thought, what would you have done??
?Exactly what you did,? answered Holland, a tight grin on his lips?But you?re supposed to be
so bright, so much smarter than I?m supposed to be
?Don?t be hard on yourself; you did what any of us would have done in your place
?For that I do thank youAnd you?re right, of courseIt had to be DeSole; how he did it, I mulberry vintage don?t
know, but it had to be himIt probably went back years inside his head?he never really forgot
anything, you knowHis mind was a sponge that absorbed everything and never let a recollection

drip awayHe could remember words and phrases, even spontaneous grunts of approval or
disapproval the rest of us forgotAnd I gave him the whole Bourne-Jackal history?and then
someone from Medusa used it in Brussels
?They did more than that, Alex,? said Holland, leaning forward in his chair and picking up
several papers from his desk?They stole your scenario, usurped your strategyThey?ve pitted
Jason Bourne against Carlos the Jackal, but instead of the controls being in your hands, Medusa louis vuitton duffle bag has

| ?Nobody?s brought in outside of this room!?
?Come on, Alex,? said Valentino kindly, slowly shaking his headYou can?t
give orders here
?Good, fine!? shouted Conklin, awkwardly getting out of the chair and supporting himself on his
cane?Next stop the White House, to a certain chairman of the NSA named McAllister!?
?Sit down,? said the DCI firmly
?I?m retired! You can?t give orders to me
?I wouldn?t dream of it, I?m simply concerned for your lifeAs I read the scenario, what you?re
suggesting is based on the questionable supposition that whoever fired at you last night in tended to
miss, not caring whom he hit, only determined to take you alive during the subsequent chaos
?That?s a couple of leaps??
?Based on a couple of dozen operations I?ve been involved with both here and at the Department
of the Navy and in places you couldn?t pronounce or know anything about The director?s elbows
were planted on the arms of his chair, his voice suddenly harsh, commanding?For uhr rolex your
information, Conklin, I didn?t suddenly bloom as a gold-braided admiral running naval intelligence
I was in the SEALs for a few years and made runs off submarines into Kaesong and later into
Haiphong harborI knew a number of those Medusa pricks, and I can?t think of one that I didn?t
want to put a bullet in his head! Now you tell me there was one, and he became your Jason Bourne?
and you?ll break your balls or bust open your heart to see that he stays alive and well and out of the
Jackal?s gun sightsSo let?s cut the crap, AlexDo you want to work with me or not??
Conklin slowly sank back in his chair, a smile gradually emerging on his lips?I told you I had
no sweat with your appointment, sirIt was just intuition, but now I know whyYou were a field
man
?Good, fine,? said the director?We?ll work up a controlled surveillance and hope to Christ your
theory that they want you alive is correct because there?s no way we can cover every window or
every rooftopYou?d better understand black and white chanel the riskAnd since two chunks of bait are better than one in a tank of piranhas, I want to talk to Mo
Panov
?You can?t ask him to be a part of this,? countered Casset?He?s not one of us, AlexWhy
should he??
?Because he is one of us and I?d better ask himIf I didn?t, he?d give me a flu shot filled with
strychnineYou see, he was in Hong Kong, too?for reasons not much different from mineYears
ago I tried to kill my closest friend in Paris because I?d made a terrible mistake believing my friend
had turned when the truth was that he had lost his memoryOnly days later, Morris Panov, one of

the leading psychiatrists in the country, a doctor who can?t stand the chicken-shit psychobabble so
popular these days, was presented with a ?hypothetical? psychiatric profile that required his
immediate reactionIt described a rogue deep-cover agent, a walking time bomb with a thousand
secrets in his head, who had gone over the edgeOn the basis of Mo?s gucci clearance on-the-spot evaluation of
that hypothetical profile?which he hours later suspected was no more hypothetical than
Campbell?s soup?an innocent amnesiac was nearly blown away in a government ambush on New
York?s Seventy-first StreetWhen what was left of that man survived, Panov demanded to be
assigned as his only head doctorHe?s never forgiven himselfIf any of you were he, what would
you do if I didn?t talk to you about what we?re talking about right now??
?Tell you it?s a flu shot and pump you full of strychnine, old boy,? concluded DeSole, nodding
?Where is Panov now?? asked Casset
?At the Brookshire Hotel in Baltimore under the name of Morris, Phillip MorrisHe called off
his appointments today?he has the flu
?Then let?s go to work,? said the DCI, pulling a yellow legal pad in front of him?Incidentally,
Alex, a competent field man doesn?t concern himself with rank and won?t trust a man who can?t
convincingly call him by his first nameAs you well know, my name is Holland and chanel earrings my first name
is PeterFrom here on we?re Alex and Peter, got it??
?I?ve got it?PeterYou must have been one son of a bitch in the SEALs
?Insofar as I?m here?geographically, not in this chair?it can be assumed I was competent
?A field man,? mumbled Conklin in approval
?Also, since we?ve dropped the diplomatic drivel expected of someone in this job, you should
understand that I was a hardnosed son of a bitchI want pro input here, Alex, not emotional output
Is that clear??
?I don?t operate any other way, PeterA commitment may be based on emotions and there?s
nothing wrong with that, but the execution of a strategy is ice-coldI was never in the SEALs,
you hard-nosed son of a bitch, but I?m also geographically here, limp and all, and that presumes
I?m also competent
Holland grinned; it was a smile of youth belied by streaked gray hair, the grin of a professional
momentarily freed of executive concerns so as to return to the world he knew best?We may even

| I was sure at this point that Jared was
long gone, but I didn't make certain of that right awayI just breathed in and out until I felt
prepared to lift my headI tried to hold on to the relief and forget the sorrow this fact engenderedIt was
better to be alone
I curled up on the mat, pressing my face against the musty fabricI wasn't sleepy, but I was
tiredThe crushing weight of Jared's rejection was so heavy it exhausted meI closed my eyes
and tried to think about things that wouldn't make my stinging eyes tear againAnything but the
appalled look on Jared's face when he'd broken away from me?
What was Jamie doing now? Did he know I was here, or was he looking for me? Ian would be
asleep for a long time, he'd looked so exhaustedWould Kyle ladies omega watches wake soon? Would he come in
search? Where was Jeb? I hadn't seen him all dayWas Doc really drinking himself unconscious?
That seemed so unlike him?
I woke slowly, roused by my growling stomachI lay quietly for a few minutes, trying to orient
myselfWas it day or night? How long had I slept here alone?
My stomach wouldn't be ignored for long, though, and I rolled up onto my kneesI must have
slept for a while to be this hungry?missed a meal or two
I considered eating something from the supply pile in the hole?after all, I'd already damaged
pretty much everything, maybe destroyed someBut that only made me feel guiltier about the
idea of taking moreI'd go scavenge some rolls from the kitchen
I was feeling a little hurt, on top of all the big hurt, fendi spy zucca bag that I'd been down here so long without
anyone coming to look for me?what a vain attitude; why should anyone care what happened to
me??so I was relieved and appeased to find Jamie sitting in the doorway to the big garden, his
back turned on the human world behind him, unmistakably waiting for me
My eyes brightened, and so did hisHe scrambled to his feet, relief washing over his features
?You're okay,? he said; I wished he were right?I mean, I didn't think
Jared was lying, but he said he thought you wanted to be alone, and Jeb said I couldn't go check
on you and that I had to stay right here where he could see that I wasn't sneaking back there,
but even though I didn'tthink you were hurt or anything, it was hard to not know for sure, kelly hermes bags you
know??
?I'm fine,? I told himBut I held my arms out, seeking comfortHe threw his arms around my
waist, and I was shocked to find that his head could rest on my shoulder while we stood
?Your eyes are red,? he whispered?Was he mean to you??
?No After all, people weren't intentionally cruel to lab rats?they were just trying to get
information
?Whatever you said to him, I think he believes us nowHow does she
feel??
?She's glad about that?How about you??
I hesitated, looking for a factual response?Telling the truth is easier for me than trying to hide
it
My evasion seemed to answer the question enough to satisfy him
Behind him, the light in the garden was red and fadingThe sun had already set on the desert
?I'm hungry,? I told him, and I pulled away vintage omega watches from our hug
?I knew you would beI saved you something goodIan says you're too self-sacrificing for your own good
?I think he's got a point,? Jamie muttered?Even if we all want you here, you don't belong until
you decide you do
?I can't ever belongAnd nobody really wants me here, Jamie
I didn't fight with him, but he was wrongNot lying, because he believed what he was saying
But what he really wanted was MelanieHe didn't separate us the way he should
Trudy and Heidi were baking rolls in the kitchen and sharing a bright green, juicy appleThey
took turns taking bites
?It's good to see you, Wanda,? Trudy said sincerely, covering her mouth while she spoke
because she was still chewing her last biteHeidi nodded in greeting, her teeth sunk in gucci indy bag the

Rodchenko slipped on the headset and noddedThe operator placed a pad and a container of
sharpened pencils in front of the general; he touched a number on the keyboard and sat back as the
powerful third direktor of the Komitet leaned forward listeningIn moments the general began
taking notes; minutes later he was writing furiouslyThe tape came to an end and Rodchenko
removed the headsetHe looked sternly at the operator, his narrow Slavic eyes rigid between the
folds of lined flesh, the crevices in his face seemingly more pronounced than before
?Erase the tape, then destroy the reel,? chanel classic bags he ordered, getting out of the chair?As usual, you have
heard nothing
?And, as usual, you will be rewarded
It was 4:17 when Rodchenko returned to his office and sat down at his desk, studying his notes
It was incredible! It was beyond belief, yet there it was?he had heard for himself the words and
the voices saying those words! Not those concerning the monseigneur in Paris; he was secondary

Frowning, Marie listened to her husband?s voice over the telephone, nodding at Mo Panov across
the hotel room?Where are you now?? she asked
?At a pay phone in the Plaza-Ath?n?e,? answered Bourne?I?ll be back in a couple of hours
?What?s happening??
?Complications, but also some progress
?That doesn?t tell me anything
?There?s not that much to tell

The line went deadAcross the room, Panov slowly shook his head as he watched Marie?s
reaction to the suddenly terminated conversation?I?m the last person he wants
to talk to
?He?s back there, MoHe?s not David any longer
?He has a different calling now,? added Panov softly?David can?t handle it
?I think that?s the most frightening thing I?ve ever heard you say

The gray Citro?n was parked chanel jumbo flap bag several hundred feet diagonally across from the canopied entrance

over at the glass doors of the apartment
?Are you sure this is going to work?? asked Jason

| Maybe she was trying to make me feel betterA sop for
dragging her out here to dieShe had won; she had never disappeared
My steps began to falterMy muscles screamed out to me for mercy, as if I had any means to
soothe themI think I would have stopped right there, but Melanie was, as always, tougher than
I
I could feel her now, not just in my head but in my limbsMy stride lengthened; the path I made
was straighterBy sheer force of will, she dragged my half-dead carcass toward the impossible
goal
There was an unexpected joy to the pointless struggleJust as I could feel her, she buy chanel bags could feel my
bodyOur body, now; my weakness ceded control to herShe gloried in the freedom of moving
our arms and legs forward, no matter how useless such a motion wasIt was bliss simply
because shecould againEven the pain of the slow death we had begun dimmed in comparison
What do you think is out there?she asked me as we marched on toward the endhat will you
see, after we're dead?
Nothinghe word was empty and hard and surehere's a reason we call it the finaldeath
The souls have no belief in an afterlife?
We have so many livesAnything more would be? too much to expectWe die miu miu nappa a little death
every time we leave a hostWe live again in anotherWhen I die here, that will be the end
There was a long pause while our feet moved more and more slowly
What about you?I finally askedo you still believe in something more, even after all of this?
My thoughts raked over her memories of the end of the human world
It seems like there are some things thatcan'tdie
In our mind, their faces were close and clearThe love we felt for Jared and Jamiedid feel very
permanentIn that moment, I wondered if death was strong enough to dissolve something so
vital andsharpPerhaps balenciaga bag black this love would live on with her, in some fairytale place with pearly
gates
Would it be a relief to be free of it? I wasn't sureIt felt like it was part of who I was now
We only lasted a few hoursEven Melanie's tremendous strength of mind could ask no more
than that of our failing bodyWe couldn't seem to find the oxygen in the
dry air we sucked in and spit back outThe pain brought rough whimpers breaking through our
lips
You've never had itthisbad, I teased her feebly as we staggered toward a dried stick of a tree
standing a few feet taller than the low brushWe wanted to get to gucci boston bag the thin streaks of shade
before we fell
We attained our purposeThe dead tree threw its cobwebby shadow over us, and our legs fell
out from under usWe sprawled forward, never wanting the sun on our face againOur head
turned to the side on its own, searching for the burning airWe stared at the dust inches from
our nose and listened to the gasping of our breath
After a time, long or short we didn't know, we closed our eyesOur lids were red and bright
insideWe couldn't feel the faint web of shade; maybe it no longer touched us
How long?I asked her
I don't know, I've never died louis vuitton travel bags bef |

| ?Not by name, of course, but he told me
you might bring up his sainthoodIt was how I?d know you were?his colleague
?How is he? We hear stories, of course?Banal gossip, by and large
Wounded in the futile Vietnam, alcohol, dismissed, disgraced, brought back a hero of the Agency,
so many contradictory things
?Most of them true; he?s not afraid to admit thatHe?s a cripple now, and he doesn?t drink, and
he was a heroAgain stories, rumors, who can believe what? Flights of fancy out of Beijing, Hong
Kong?some concerning a man named Jason BourneOur saint said you would need lodgings, clothes purchased en
sc?ne, as it were, French to the core
?A small but varied closet,? agreed Jason?I know where to go, what to buy, and I mulberry leather bag have
sufficient money
?Then we are concerned with lodgingsA hotel of your choice? La Tr?moille? George Cinq?
Plaza-Ath?n?e??
?Smaller, much smaller and far less expensive
?Money is a problem, then??
?Not at allI?ll tell you what, I know MontmartreI?ll find a place myself
What I will need is a car?registered under another name, preferably a name that?s a dead end
?Which means a dead manIt?s been arranged; it is in the underground garage on the Capucines,
near the Place Vend?me Bernardine reached into his pocket, pulled out a set of keys, and handed
them to Jason?An older Peugeot in Section EThere are thousands like them in Paris and the
license number is on the tab
?Alex told you I?m traveling deep??
?He didn?t really have toI black gucci bags believe our saint scoured the cemeteries for useful names when he
worked here
?I probably learned it from him
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
189
?We all learned things from that extraordinary mind, the finest in our profession, yet so selfeffacing,
so so ?why not try it,? yes??
?Yes, why not try it
?I must tell you, though,? said Bernardine, laughing?He once chose a name, admittedly from a
tombstone, that drove the S?ret? fou?crazy! It was the alias of an ax murderer the authorities had
been hunting for months!?
?That is funny,? agreed Bourne, chucklingHe told me later that he found it in Rambouillet?in a cemetery on the outskirts of
Rambouillet
Rambouillet! The cemetery where Alex had tried to kill him thirteen necklace chanel years agoAll traces of a
smile left Jason?s lips as he stared at Alex?s friend from the Deuxi?me Bureau?You know who I
am, don?t you?? he asked softly
?Yes,? answered Bernardine?It was not so difficult to piece together, not with the rumors and
the gossip out of the Far EastAfter all, it was here in Paris where you made your mark on Europe,
Mr
?Does anyone else know??
?Mon Dieu, non! Nor will theyI must explain, I owe my life to Alexander Conklin, our modest
saint of les op?rations noires?the black assignments in your language
?That?s not necessary, I speak French fluently or didn?t Alex tell you that??
?Oh, my God, you doubt me,? said the Deuxi?me man, his gray eyebrows arched?Take into
account, young man?younger man?that omega constellation I am in my seventieth year, and if I have lapses of
language and try to correct them, it is because I mean to be kind, not subrepticeAlex is several years younger than I am, but I wonder how he?s handling it
?There was an English poet?a Welsh poet, to be exact?who wrote, ?Do not go gently into that
good night Do you remember it??
?YesHis name was Dylan Thomas and he died in his mid-thirtiesHe was saying fight like a
son of a bitch Bernardine again reached into a pocket and pulled out a card?Here is my
office?merely consultant status, you understand?and on the back I?ve written down my home
phone; it is a special telephone, actually uniqueCall me; whatever you need will be provided
Remember, I am the only friend you have in omega usa P |
