| The Seekers gave up the searchAll the volunteers went homeNo
one is looking for it His profile turned toward me, and I hunched down, hoping it was too dark
to see me in here?that, like his face, I would appear as only a black shape?I imagine it's been
declared officially dead, if they keep track of those things the way we used toJeb's been saying
'I told you so' to anyone who'll stand still long enough to hear it
Jared grumbled something incoherent; I could only pick out Jeb's nameThen he inhaled a sharp
breath, blew it out, and said, ?All right, thenI guess that's the end of it
?That's what it looks like Ian hesitated for a moment and then added, dolce gabbana handbags ?Except? Well, it's
probably nothing at all
Jared tensed again; he didn't like having his intelligence edited
?No one but Kyle thinks much of it, and you know how Kyle is
Jared grunted his assent to that
?You've got the best instincts for this kind of thing; I wanted your opinionThat's why I'm
here, taking my life into my hands to infiltrate the restricted area,? Ian said dryly, and then his
voice was utterly serious again?You see, there's this one? a Seeker, no doubt about that?it
packs a Glock
It took me a second to understand the word he usedIt wasn't a familiar part of Melanie's
vocabularyWhen I understood that he was talking about a kind of gun, dior china the wistful, envious
tone in his voice made me feel slightly ill
?Kyle was the first to notice how this one stood outIt didn't seem important to the
rest?certainly not part of the decision-making processOh, it had suggestions enough, from
what we could see, but no one seemed to listen to itWish we could've heard what it was
saying?
My skin prickled anxiously again
?Anyway,? Ian continued, ?when they called off the search, this one wasn't happy with the
decisionYou know how the parasites are always so? verypleasant? This was weird?it's the
closest I've ever seen them come to an argumentNot a real argument, because none of the
others argued back, but chanel white purses the unhappy one sure looked like it was arguing withthemThe core
group of Seekers disregarded it?they're all gone
?But the unhappy one?? Jared asked
?It got in a car and drove halfway to PhoenixThen it drove back to TucsonThen it drove
west againIt stopped at that convenience store by the peakTalked to the parasite that
worked there, though that one had already been questioned
?Huh,? Jared gruntedHe was interested now, concentrating on the puzzle
?Then it went for a hike up the peak?stupid little thingHad to be burning alive, wearing black
from head to toe
A spasm rocked through my body; I found myself off the floor, cringing against the back wall dolce |

?Aussi bien! He knows the LegionThey will not take maniacs if they can help it, but they?how
do you say it, Fran?ois??
?Look the other way, I thinkThey look the other way when there are?encore, Francois??
?When there are extenuating circumstances
?See? My friend Francois also has brainsI wonder how he survived
?By not showing them, Maurice
A waiter wearing about the filthiest apron Jason had ever seen clapped the Belgian on the neck
?So?? shrugged Tank ShirtQuelle diff?rence? We eat and with good
fortune we will not be poisoned
Two hours later, with four bottles of rough vin ordinaire consumed by Maurice and Ralph, along
with suspicious fish, Le Coeur du Soldat settled in for its nightly endurance ritualFights occurred
episodically, black spy bag broken up by muscular waitersThe blaring music marshaled memories of battles won
and lost, engendering arguments between old soldiers who had basically been the assault troops,
cannon fodder, at once resentful and filled with the pride of survival because they had survived the
blood and horror their gold-braided superiors knew nothing aboutIt was the collective roar of the
underprivileged foot soldiers heard from the time of the Pharaoh?s legions to the grunts of Korea
and VietnamThe properly uniformed officers decreed from far behind the lines, and the foot
soldiers died to preserve their superiors? wisdomBourne remembered Saigon and could not fault
the existence of Le Coeur du Soldat
The head bartender, a massive bald man with steel-rimmed glasses, picked up louis vuitton china a telephone
concealed below the far end of the bar and brought it to his earJason watched him between the
roving figuresThe man?s eyes spun around the crowded room?what he heard appeared to be
important; what he saw, dismissibleHe spoke briefly, plunged his hand below the bar and kept it
there for several moments; he had dialedAgain, he spoke quickly, then calmly replaced the phone
out of sightIt was the kind of sequence described by old Fontaine on Tranquility IsleMessage
received, message relayedAnd at the end of that receiving line was the Jackal
It was all he wanted to see that evening; there were things to consider, perhaps men to hire, as he
had hired men in the pastExpendable men who meant nothing to him, people who could be paid or
bribed, blackmailed rolex submariner 50th anniversary or threatened into doing what he wanted them to do without explanation
?I just spotted the man I was to meet here,? he said to the barely conscious Maurice and Ralph
?He wants me to go outside
?You?re leaving us?? whined the Belgian
?Hey, man, you shouldn?t do thay-at,? added the young American from the South

| My breathing was ragged from runningI covered my mouth with my hand to
stifle the soundwhy we keep doing this,? someone complained
I wasn't sure whose voice it wasSomeone I didn't know wellMaybe Violetta? It held that
same depressed tone that I recognized from beforeIt erased any notion that I'd been imagining
things
?Doc didn't want toIt was Jared's idea this time
I was sure that it was Geoffrey who spoke now, though his voice was a little changed by the
subdued revulsion in itGeoffrey had been with Trudy on the raid, of courseThey did
everything together
?I thought he was the gucci pantheon biggest opponent to this business
That was Travis, I guessed
?He's more? motivated now,? Geoffrey answeredHis voice was quiet, but I could tell he was
angry about something
They passed just half a foot from where I cringed into the rocksI froze, holding my breath
?I think it's sick,? Violetta mutteredIt's never going to work
They walked slowly, their steps weighted with despairNo one spoke again in my hearingI stayed motionless until their
footsteps had faded a little, but I couldn't wait until the sound disappeared completelyIan
might be following me already
I crept forward as quickly as I miu miu nappa could and then started jogging again when I decided it was safe
I saw the first faint hints of daylight streaming around the curving tunnel ahead, and I shifted
into a quieter lope that still kept me moving swiftlyI knew that once I was around the gradual
arc, I would be able to see the doorway into Doc's realmI followed the bend, and the light
grew brighter
I moved cautiously now, putting each foot down with silent careFor a
moment, I wondered if I was wrong and there was no one here at allThen, as the uneven
entrance came into view, throwing a block of white sunlight against the gucci men wallet opposite wall, I could
hear the sound of quiet sobbing
I tiptoed right to the edge of the gap and paused, listening
The sobbing continuedAnother sound, a soft, rhythmic thudding, kept time with it It was Jeb's voice, thick with some emotionDon't take
it so hard
Hushed footsteps, more than one set, were moving around the roomIt reminded me of the sounds of cleaning
There was a smell that didn't belong hereStrange? not quite metallic, but not quite anything
else, eitherThe smell was not familiar?I was sure I had never smelled it before?and yet I had an
odd feeling that itshould be familiar white chanel purse to me
I was afraid to move around the corner
What's the worst they will do to us?Mel pointed outake us leave?
You're right
Things had definitely changed if that was the worst I could fear from the humans now
I took a deep breath?noticing again that strange,wrong smell?and eased around the rocky edge
into the hospital
Doc was kneeling on the floor, his face buried in his hands, his shoulders heavingJeb leaned
over him, patting his back
Jared and Kyle were laying a crude stretcher beside one of the cots in the middle of the room
Jared's face was hard?the mask had come back while he was balenciaga twiggy away |

| But you saw them from a piece of high ground and blew all your gasketsYou tracked them
back to the helicopter pad and gave them a choice: Get in and you?d storm the chopper leaving no
survivors, or they could come back with you to the base campThey came back under your men?s
guns and you forced Field Command to accept your multiple charges of murderThat?s when Ice-

thugs got off for lack of credible testimony, and after the trial you had to be physically restrained in
the barracks until Ogilvie was airborne back to Saigon
?His name was Kwan Soo,? said Bourne dreamily, his head moving back and forth as if
rejecting a nightmare?He was a kid, maybe sixteen or seventeen, sending the drug money back to
three villages so they could eatThere wasn?t any other way oh, shit! What would any of us have
done if our families were starving??
?That wasn?t anything you could say at the trial and you knew itYou had to hold your tongue
and take Ogilvie?s vicious crapI came up and watched you and I never saw a man exercise such
control over his hatred
?That isn?t the way I seem to recall it?what I can recallSome of it?s coming back, not much,
but some

|
| I can understand thatBut that doesn't mean you have to go anywhereJust
because Doc knows now? that doesn'tmean anythingIf I'd thought for one minute that it did,
that one action equaled the other, I wouldn't have stood there and let you show himNo one is
going to force you to lie down on his blasted gurney! I'll break his hands if he tries to touch
you!?
?Ian, please
?They can't make you, Wanda! Do you hear me?? He was shouting again
?No one is making meI didn't show Doc how to do the separation so that I could save the
Seeker,? I whispered?The Seeker's being here just made me have to decide? fasterI did it to
save Mel, chanel earrings stud Ian
His nostrils flared, and he said nothing
?She's trapped in here, IanIt's like a prison?worse than that; I can't even describe itI can give her herself back
?You deserve a life, too, Wanda
?But Ilove her, Ian
He closed his eyes, and his pale lips went dead white
?But I loveyou, ? he whispered?Doesn't that matter??
?Of course it mattersCan't you see? That only makes it more? necessary
His eyes flashed open?Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth
shut, WandaI won't say it againYou can be with Jared, if that's what you want
?No, Ian!? I took his face between my hands?his skin felt hard, fendi spy zucca bag strained tight over the bonesMe, the little silver worm in the back of her headBut my body doesn't
love youI can never love you in this body, Ian
I could have borne itBut watchinghim suffer because of my body's limitations? Not that
He closed his eyes againHis thick black lashes were wet with tearsI could see them glisten
Oh, go ahead,Mel sighedo whatever you need toI'll? step into the other room, she added
dryly
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him until my lips touched his
He curled his arms around me, pulling me tighter against his chestOur lips moved together,
fusing as if they would never chanel jumbo flap divide, as if separation was not the inevitable thing it was, and I
could taste the salt of our tears
Something began to change
When Melanie's body touched Jared's body, it was like a wildfire?a fast burn that raced across
the surface of the desert and consumed everything in its path
With Ian it was different, so very different, because Melanie didn't love him the way I didSo
when he touched me, it was deeper and slower than the wildfire, like the flow of molten rock far
beneath the surface of the earthToo deep to feel the heat of it, but it moved inexorably,
changing the very foundations of the world with its advance
My tiffany diamond unwilling body was a fog between us?a thick curtain, but gauzy enough that I could see
through it, could see what was happening
It changedme, not herIt was almost a metallurgical process deep inside the core of who I was,
something that had already begun, was already nearly forgedBut this long, unbroken kiss
finished it, searing and sharp edged?it shoved this new creation, all hissing, into the cold water
that made it hard and final
And I started to cry again, realizing that it must be changing him, too, this man who was kind
enough to be a soul but strong as only a human could be
He moved his lips to my eyes, but it was too chanel tote lat |

?Smarts a bit, don't it? We're trying to fix that He held out his hand, protected by the tail of
his shirt, and I placed the soap in it
I didn't answer his question because we weren't alone; there was a line waiting silently behind
him?five people, all of them from the field turning
Ian was first in line
?You look better,? he told me, but I couldn't tell from his tone if he was surprised or annoyed
that I did
He raised one arm, extending his long, pale fingers toward my neckI flinched away, and he
dropped his hand quickly
?Sorry about that,? he muttered
Did he mean for scaring me now or for marking up my neck in the first place? I couldn't
imagine that he was apologizing for trying to kill meSurely he still wanted me hermes kelly handbag deadBut I
wasn't going to askI started walking, and Jeb fell into step behind me
?So, today wasn't that bad,? Jeb said as we walked through the dark corridor
?Not that bad,? I murmuredAfter all, I hadn't been murderedThat was always a plus
?Tomorrow will be even better,? he promised?I always enjoy planting?seeing the miracle of
the little dead-looking seeds having so much life in themMakes me feel like a withered old guy
might have some potential left in himEven if it's only to be fertilizer Jeb laughed at his joke
When we got to the big garden cavern, Jeb took my elbow and steered me east rather than
west
?Don't try to tell me you're not hungry after all that digging,? he said?It's not my job to
provide room zucca spy fendi bag serviceYou're just going to have to eat where everyone else eats
I grimaced at the floor but let him lead me to the kitchen
It was a good thing the food was exactly the same thing as always, because if, miraculously, a
filet mignon or a bag of Cheetos had materialized, I wouldn't have been able to taste a thingIt
took all my concentration just to make myself swallow?I hated to make even that small sound in
the dead silence that followed my appearanceThe kitchen wasn't crowded, just ten people
lounging against the counters, eating their tough rolls and drinking their watery soupBut I
killed all conversation againI wondered how long things could last like this
The answer was exactly four days
It also took me that long to coco chanel designer understand what Jeb was up to, what the motivation was behind
his switch from the courteous host to the curmudgeonly taskmaster
The day after turning the soil I spent seeding and irrigating the same fieldIt was a different
group of people than the day before; I imagined there was some kind of rotation of the chores
hereMaggie was in this group, and the caramel-skinned woman, but I didn't learn her name
Mostly everyone worked in silenceThe silence felt unnatural?a protest against my presence
Ian worked with us, when it was clearly not his turn, and this bothered me
I had to eat in the kitchen againJamie was there, and he kept the room from total silenceI
knew he was too sensitive not to notice the awkward hush, but he deliberately tiffany knockoff ignored it,
seeming to pretend that he and Jeb and I were the only people in the roomHe chattered about
his day in Sharon's class, bragging a little about some trouble he'd gotten into for speaking out
of turn, and complaining about the chores she'd given him as punishmentJeb chastised him
halfheartedlyThey both did a very good job of acting normalI had no acting abilityWhen
Jamie asked me about my day, the best I could do was stare intently at my food and mumble
one-word answersThis seemed to make him sad, but he didn't push me
At night it was a different story?he wouldn't let me stop talking until I begged to be allowed to
sleepJamie had reclaimed his room, taking Jared's side of the bed and insisting that I take tiffany heart tag necklace hi |

Without answering, the diplomat calmly reached for his gold lighter, ignited it, and fired the
small piece of paper, lowering it into an ashtrayMario sprang up from his chair; the man from
Rome dropped the lighter on the table and swiftly retrieved the gun from his lap?First, let us
discuss the fee,? he said as the note coiled into flaming black ash?Our dons in Palermo are
definitely not as generous as yoursPlease talk quickly, as every minute counts
?You motherfucking bastard!?
?My Oedipal problems are not your concernHow much, Signor DeFazio??
?I?ll go the limit,? replied the capo supremo, lowering himself into the chair, staring at the
charred remnants of the information?Three hundred thousand, American
?That?s excremento,? said the countessSeconds become minutes and you cannot
afford them
?All right, all right! Double cartier ronde it!?
?Plus expenses,? added the woman
?What the fuck can they be??
?Your cousin Mario is right,? said the diplomat?Please watch your language in front of my
wife
?Holy shit??
?I warned you, signoreThe expenses are an additional quarter of a million, American
?What are you, nuts??
?No, you?re vulgarThe total is one million one hundred fifty thousand dollars, to be paid as our
couriers in New York so instruct youIf not, you will be missed in?what is it??Brooklyn
Heights, Signor DeFazio??
?Where are the targets?? said the beaten capo supremo, his defeat painful to him
?At a small private airfield in Pontcarr?, about forty-five minutes from ParisThey?re waiting
for a plane that was grounded in Poitiers because of bad weatherIt can?t possibly arrive for at least
an hour and a quarter
?Did you bring the equipment we requested?? asked Mario hermes wallet rapidly
?It?s all there,? answered the countess, gesturing at the large black suitcase on a chair against the
wall
?A car, a fast car!? cried DeFazio as his executioner retrieved the suitcase

?Outside,? replied the count?The driver will know where to take youHe?s been to that fieldTonight we collect and you can settle a score!?
Except for a single clerk behind the counter in the small one-room terminal and an air controller
hired to stay the extra hours in the radio tower, the private airport in Pontcarr? was desertedAlex
Conklin and Mo Panov stayed discreetly behind as Bourne led Marie outside to the gate area
fronting the field beyond a waist-high metal fenceTwo strips of receding amber ground lights
defined the long runway for the plane from Poitiers; they had been turned on only a short time ago
?It prada fairy won?t be long now,? said Jason
?This whole damn thing?s stupid,? retorted Webb?s wife
?There?s no reason for you to stay and every reason for you to leaveFor you to be alone here in
Paris would be stupidIf Carlos?s people found you, you?d be taken hostage, so why
risk it??
?Because I?m capable of staying out of sight and I don?t want to be ten thousand miles away
from youYou?ll forgive me if I worry about you, Mr
Jason looked at her in the shadows, grateful for the darkness; she could not clearly see his eyes
?Then be reasonable and use your head,? he said coldly, suddenly feeling so old, too old for such a
transparently false lack of feeling?We know Carlos is in Moscow and Krupkin isn?t far behind
himDimitri?s flying us there in the morning, and we?ll be under the protection of the KGB in the
tightest city in the worldWhat more could vintage gucci bags we want??
?You were under the protection of the United States government on a short East Side block in
New York thirteen years ago and it didn?t do you much good
?There?s a great deal of differenceBack then the Jackal knew exactly where I was going and
when I?d be thereRight now he has no idea we even know he?s in MoscowHe?s got other
problems, big ones for him, and he thinks we?re here in Paris?he?s ordered his people to keep
searching for us
?What will you do in Moscow??
?We won?t know until we get there, but whatever it is, it?s better than here in ParisEvery ranking officer in Dzerzhinsky Square who speaks French is being watched and is
under surveillanceHe said the French narrowed down the possibilities and that something should

?How many times, even today, do men and women like you lack the full picture? The total strategy
and not just your part of it??
?Then we should be given a fuller picture going in, or at least an overview so we can try to
figure out what makes sense and what doesn?t
?Where does an overview stop, Alex?? asked the deputy on the DCI?s left?At what point do we
say, ?We can?t reveal this for everyone?s benefit???
?I don?t know, you?re the analysts, I?m notOn a case-by-case basis, I suppose, but certainly
with better communication than I ever got when I was in the fieldI?m not the
issue, you are Alex stared at the director?Very smooth, sir, but I?m not buying a change of
subjectI?m here to find out who got what and howIf you?d rather, I?ll take my credentials over to
the White House vintage chanel jewelry or up to the Hill and watch a few heads rollI want to know what
to do!?
?I wasn?t trying to change the subject, MrConklin, only to divert it momentarily to make a
pointYou obviously objected to the methods and the compromises employed in the past by my
colleagues, but did either of these men ever mislead you, lie to you??
Alex looked briefly at the two deputy directors?Only when they had to lie to me, which had
nothing to do with field operations
?That?s a strange comment
?If they haven?t told you, they should haveFive years ago I was an alcoholic?I?m still an
alcoholic but I don?t drink anymoreI was riding out the time to my pension, so nobody told me
anything and they damn well shouldn?t have
?For your enlightenment, all my colleagues said to me was that you had been ill, black chanel tote that you hadn?t
been functioning at the level of your past accomplishments until the end of your service
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

Again Conklin studied both deputies, nodding to both as he spoke?Thanks, Casset, and you,
too, Valentino, but you didn?t have to do thatI was a drunk and it shouldn?t be a secret whether it?s
me or anybody elseThat?s the dumbest thing you can do around here
?From what we heard about Hong Kong, you did a hell of a job, Alex,? said the man named
Casset softly?We didn?t want to detract from that
?You?ve been a pain in the ass for longer than I care to remember,? added Valentino?But we
couldn?t let you hang out as an accident of boozeLet?s get back to Jason BourneThat?s why I?m here, why you damn well had to see
me
?That?s also why I omega deville watch momentarily sidetracked us, MrYou have professional differences
with my deputies, but I gather you don?t question their integrityAs far as I was concerned, they did their jobs and I did mine; it
was the system that was fouled up?it was buried in fogBut this isn?t, today isn?tThe rules are
clear-cut and absolute, and since I wasn?t reached, they were broken and I was misled, in a very
real sense, lied toHow did it happen and who got the information??
?That?s all I wanted to hear,? said the director, picking up the telephone on the tableDeSole down the hall and ask him to come to the conference room The DCI hung up and
turned to Conklin?I assume you?re aware of Steven DeSole
?DeSole the mute mole
?I beg your pardon??
?It?s an old joke around here,? explained Casset to the director?Steve chanel bags pink knows where the bodies
are buried, but when the time comes he won?t even tell God unless He shows him a Four Zero
clearance
?I assume that means the three of you, especially MrDeSole a thorough
professional
?I?ll answer that,? Alex said?He?ll tell you anything you have to know but no more than thatHe?ll keep his mouth shut, or tell you he can?t tell you, but he won?t lie to you
?That?s another thing I wanted to hear There was a brief knock on the door, and the DCI called
out for the visitor to enterA medium-sized, slightly overweight man with wide eyes magnified
behind steel-rimmed glasses walked into the room, closing the door behind himHis casual second
glance at the table revealed Alexander Conklin to him; he was obviously startled by the sight of the

| At my feet was a broken sheet of plastic serving as a tray
And on it?
I lunged for the open bottle of waterI was barely aware that Jared's mouth twisted with
disgust as I jerked the bottle to my lipsI was sure that would bother me later, but all I cared
about now was the waterI wondered if ever in my life I would take the liquid for granted again
Given that my life was not likely to be prolonged here, the answer was probably no
Jared had disappeared, back through the circular entryI could see a piece of his sleeve and
nothing moreThe dull light came from somewhere beside himIt was an artificial bluish color
I'd gulped half the water down omega pocket watches when a new scent caught my attention, informing me that water
was not the only giftI looked down at the tray againThey were feeding me?
It was the bread?a dark, unevenly shaped roll?that I smelled first, but there was also a bowl of
some clear liquid with the tang of onionsAs I leaned closer, I could see darker chunks on the
bottomBeside this were three stubby white tubesI guessed they were vegetables, but I didn't
recognize the variety
It took only seconds for me to make these discoveries, but even in that short time, my stomach
nearly jumped through my mouth trying to reach the food
I ripped into the breadIt was very dense, studded with 925 tiffany's necklace whole-grain kernels that caught in my
teethThe texture was gritty, but the flavor was wonderfully richI couldn't remember anything
tasting more delicious to me, not even my mushed-up TwinkiesMy jaw worked as fast as it
could, but I swallowed most of the mouthfuls of tough bread half-chewedI could hear each
mouthful hit my stomach with a gurgleIt didn't feel as good as I thought it wouldToo long
empty, my stomach reacted to the food with discomfort
I ignored that and moved on to the liquid?it was soupThis went down easierAside from the
onions I'd smelled, the taste was mildThe green chunks were soft and spongyI drank it
straight from the chanel tote bowl and wished the bowl were deeperI tipped it back to make sure I'd
gotten every drop
The white vegetables were crunchy in texture, woody in tasteThey weren't
as satisfying as the soup or as tasty as the bread, but I was grateful for their bulkI wasn't
full?not close?and I probably would have started on the tray next if I thought I'd be able to
chew through it
It didn't occur to me until I was finished that they shouldn't be feeding meNot unless Jared
had lost the confrontation with the doctorThough why would Jared be my guard if that were
the case?
I slid the tray away when it was empty, cringing at the noise it madeI stayed pressed fendi b bag against
the back wall of my bubble as Jared reached in to retrieve itThis time he didn't look at me
?Thank you,? I whispered as he disappeared againHe said nothing; there was no change in his
faceEven the bit of his sleeve did not show this time, but I was sure he was there
I can't believe he hit me,Melanie mused, her thought incredulous rather than resentfulShe was
not over the surprise of it yetI hadn't been surprised in the first placeOf course he had hit me
I wondered where you were,I answeredt would be poor manners to get me into this mess and
then abandon me
She ignored my sour tone wouldn't have thought he'd be able to do it, no matter chanel pearl necklace what |

Bourne palmed the napkin along with a hundred-franc note and signaled the bartender, who
adjusted his steel-rimmed glasses as if the unknown patron?s gesture were an impertinenceSlowly
he moved his large body forward, and leaned his thick tattooed arms on the bar?What is it?? he
asked gruffly
?I have written out a message for you,? replied the Chameleon, his eyes steady, focused on the
bartender?s glasses?I am by myself and hope you will consider the requestI am a man who
carries wounds but I am not a poor man Bourne quickly but gently?very gently?reached for the
bartender?s hand, passing the napkin and the franc noteWith a final imploring look at the
astonished man, Jason turned and headed for the door, his limp pronounced
Outside, Bourne hurried up the cracked pavement toward the alley?s entranceHe judged that his
interlude at the bar had taken between eight and twelve minutesKnowing the bartender was
watching him, he had purposely not tried to 2.55 chanel see if his two companions were still at the table, but he
assumed they wereTank Shirt and Field Jacket were not at their sharpest, and in their condition
minutes did not count; he could only hope five hundred francs apiece might bring about a degree of
responsibility and that they would leave soon as instructedOddly enough, he had more faith in
Maurice-Ren? than in the young American who called himself RalphA former corporal in the

Foreign Legion was imbued with an automatic reflex where orders were concerned; he followed
them blind drunk or blind soberJason hoped so; it was not mandatory, but he could use their
assistance?if, if, the bartender at Le Coeur du Soldat had been sufficiently intrigued by the
excessive sums of money, as well as by a solitary conversation with a cripple he could obviously
kill with one tattooed arm
Bourne waited in the street, the wash of the streetlights diminishing in the chanel reporter bag alley, fewer and fewer
people going in or coming out, those arriving in better shape than those departing, all passing Jason
without a glance at the derelict weaving against the brickTank Shirt pulled the much younger Field Jacket through the heavy door, and
at one point after the door had swung shut, slapped the American across the face, telling him in
unclear words to follow orders, for they were rich and could become much richer
?It is better than being shot in Angola!? cried the former l?gionnaire, loud enough for Bourne to
hear?Why did they do that??
Jason stopped them at the entrance to the alley, pulling both men around the edge of the brick
building?It?s me,? he said, his voice commanding!?
?What the Gawdamn hell !?
?Be quiet! You can make another five hundred francs tonight, if you want toIf not, there are
twenty other men who will
?We are comrades!? protested Maurice-Ren?
?And Ah could bust your ass for scarin? us like thay-atBut mah gucci back pack buddy?s right, we?re
comrades?that ain?t Commie stuff, is it, Maurice??
?Taisez-vous!?
?That means shut up,? explained BourneI hear it a lot??
?Listen to meWithin the next few minutes the bartender in there may come out looking for me
He may, he also may not, I simply don?t knowHe?s the large bald man wearing glassesDo either

The American shrugged, but the Belgian nodded his floating head, his lips flat until he spoke
?His name is Santos and he is espagnol

?Or latino-am?ricain
Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, thought JasonCarlos the Jackal, Venezuelan by birth, rejected terrorist,
whom even the Soviets could not handleOf course he would return to his own?How well do you
know him??
It was the Belgian?s turn to shrug?He is the complete authority where Le Coeur du Soldat is
concernedHe has been known to crush men?s heads if they behave too badlyHe always takes off
his glasses first, and that is the first sign that something will black quilted bag happen that even proven soldiers do
not care to witnessIf he is coming out here to see you, I would advise you to leave
?He may come because he wants to see me, not because he wants to harm me
?That is not Santos??
?You don?t have to know the particulars, they don?t concern youBut if he does come out that
door, I want you to engage him in conversation, can you do that??
?Mais certainementOn several occasions I have slept on his couch upstairs, personally carried
there by Santos himself when the cleaning women came in
