    @@@@@He went to the elevator and eventually, after two wrong turns,
    reached Bourne’s room
    “Here’s the money,” he said, dropping the attaché case on the floor and going straight to Jason’s
    hotel wet bar; he removed two miniature bottles of Tanqueray gin, snapped them open and poured
    the liquor into a questionably clean glass“A votre santé,” he added, swallowing half his drink
    before breathing heavily through his mouth and then rapidly swallowing the rest“I haven’t done
    anything like that in years
    “You haven’t?”
    “Frankly, noI had others do such thingsIt’s far too dangerousNevertheless, Tabouri is
    forever in your debt, and, frankly, he’s convinced me I should look into Beirut
    “What?”
    “Of course, I haven’t your resources, but a percentage of forty years of les fonds de contingence
    have found their way to Geneva on my behalf
    “You may be a dead man if they pick you up leaving here
    “Oh, but I shan’t go,” said Bernardine, once again searching the small refrigerator“I shall stay
    in this room until you have concluded your business Fran?ois ripped open two additional bottles
    and poured them into his glass“Now, perhaps, my old heart will beat slower,” he added as he
    walked to the inadequate desk, placed his drink on the blotter, and proceeded to take out two

    automatics and three grenades from his pockets, placing them all in a row in front of his glass
    “Yes, I will relax now
    “What the hell is that—are they?” cried Jason
    “I think you Americans call it deterrence,” replied Bernardine“Although I frankly believe both
    you and the Soviets are playing with yourselves as you both put so much money into weaponry that
    doesn’t workNow, I come from a different eraWhen you go out to do your business, you will
    leave the door openIf someone comes down that narrow corridor, he will see a grenade in my

    @@@@@My missing arm began to
    294
    itch madlyFor the ten thousandth time I tried to
    scratch it and got my still-mending ribs instead
    "Wait," I said, and looked at Reba, who was
    staring out at the GulfI can do this, I thought
    It's like where you put money when you want to
    hide it from the government
    Wireman was waiting patientlyThe one that
    sometimes wanted to drawIt wanted to draw then
    I thought it wanted to draw WiremanWireman and
    the bowl of fruit
    Stop the weird shit, I thought
    I can do this, I thought
    You hide money from the government in offshore
    banks, I thoughtAnd Bingo, there it was
    "Well now that we've got that solved," Wireman
    said, "let's look at the art
    "If that's what it is," I said, and led the way
    upstairs, limping on my crutchHalfway up,
    something struck me and I stopped"Wireman," I
    295
    said, without looking back, "how did you know my
    treadmill was a Cybex?"
    For a moment he said nothingThen: "It's the only
    brand I knowNow can you resume the upward ascent
    on your own, or do you need a kick in the ass to
    get going?"
    Sounds good, rings false, I thought as I started
    up the stairs againI think you're lying, and you
    know what? I think you know I know

    My work was leaning against the north wall of
    Little Pink, with the afternoon sun giving the
    paintings plenty of natural lightLooking at them
    from behind Wireman as he walked slowly down the
    line, sometimes pausing and once even backtracking
    to study a couple of canvases a second time, I
    thought it was far more light than they deserved
    Ilse and Jack had praised them, but one was my
    daughter and the other my hired man
    When he reached the colored pencil drawing of the
    tanker at the very end of the line, Wireman
    squatted and stared at it for maybe thirty seconds

    with his forearms resting on his thighs and his
    hands hanging limply between his leg

    @@@@@
    The headlights had faded slowly into the distance, until they disappeared around a wide curve in
    the road
    We were on the homestretchIn a few short hours, I would see Jamie
    We would unload the welcome provisions, surrounded by smiling faces
    My first, I realized
    For once the return would bring nothing but joyWe carried no doomed hostages this time
    I wasn't paying attention to anything but anticipationThe road didn't seem to be flying by too
    fast; it couldn't fly past fast enough as far as I was concerned
    The truck's headlights reappeared behind us
    “Kyle must be driving,” I murmured“They're catching up
    And then the red and blue lights suddenly spun out in the dark night behind usThey reflected
    off all the mirrors, dancing spots of color across the roof, the seats, our frozen faces, and the
    dashboard, where the needle on the speed gauge showed that we were traveling twenty miles
    over the speed limit
    The sound of a siren pierced the desert calm
    CHAPTER 48
    Detained
    The red and blue lights swirled in time with the siren's cry
    Before the souls had come to this place, these lights and sounds had had only one meaningThe
    law, the keepers of the peace, the punishers of offenders
    Now, again, the flashing colors and angry noise had only one meaningA very similar meaning
    Still the keepers of the peace
    It wasn't as common a sight or sound as it had been beforeThe police force was only needed to
    help in cases of accidents or other emergencies, not to enforce lawsMost civil servants didn't
    have vehicles with sirens, unless the vehicle was an ambulance or a fire truck

    @@@@@There were no guns
    in the house; she knew because she'd looked for one herselfShe
    closed her eyes and drifted near sleepIt had been a long dayShe
    remembered the excitement of the water foaming alongside the
    swift-moving sloop, and for a moment she envied Rhett sailing under
    the
    starsIf only she could have been with him instead of Ross
    She wasn't worried that the Yankees would catch him; she never
    worried
    about RhettWhen Eleanor Butler returned to the
    library after seeing the Union soldiers out, she tucked her cashmere
    shawl around Scarlett, who had fallen into a deep sleep
    "No need to disturb her," she said quietly, "she'll be comfortable
    hereLet's go to bed, RosemaryYou've had a long trip, and I'm
    tired, and tomorrow's bound to be very active She smiled to herself
    when she saw the bookmark placed well along in the pages of
    Ivanhoe
    Rosemary was a fast readerAnd not nearly as modern as she liked to
    think she wasThe Market was abuzz with indignation and illconceived
    plans the next morningScarlett listened to the agitated
    conversations around her with scornWhat did they expect, the
    Charlestonians? That the Yankees would let people go around
    shooting
    them and do nothing? All they were going to do was make things
    worse
    if they tried to argue or protestWhat difference did it make after
    all this time that General Lee had talked Grant into allowing
    Confederate officers to keep their sidearms after the surrender at
    Appomattox? It was still the end of the South, and what good did a
    revolver do you if you were too poor to buy bullets for it? As for
    duelling pistols! Who on earth would care about saving them? They
    weren't good for anything except men showing off how brave they
    were
    and getting their fool heads blown offShe kept her mouth shut and
    concentrated on the shoppingOtherwise it would never get done
    Even
    Miss Eleanor was running around like a chicken with its head cut off,
    talking to everybody in a barely audible, urgent tone"They say the
    men all want to finish what Ross started," she told Scarlett when they
    were walking home"It's more than they can bear to have their
    homes
    ransacked by the troopsWe women are going to have to manage
    things;
    the men are too hot under the collar Scarlett felt a chill of

    relegates its dirty work to the hungry grunts and corrupt NCOsand men like
    Sergeant FlannaganWhen it comes to killing or kidnapping or using drugs on prisoners, the
    starched-shirt boys stay far in the background; they’re nowhere to be found

    the company, and guess what we found?”
    “I’d rather not wait,” said Alex emphatically
    “Nine calls to a reasonably acceptable number in Brooklyn Heights, and three in the space of an
    hour to an extremely unlikely telephone on Wall Street

    what they had on Brooklyn Heights

    “The Untouchables swore us to secrecyThey intend to spring it themselves
    “Bullshit,” said Conklin softly“One of the first things we learn in this business is to lie to
    anyone and everyone, especially anyone who’s foolish enough to trust usWe’ll use it anytime it

    I explained, unwillingly, that Melanie and I were friendsShe didn't like that
    “She's a good person

    Same reason

    we all lived hereWhen they'd passed me–eating in the kitchen with Ian and Jamie–he threw me
    a look that clearly asked why I hadn't let Aaron shoot her while that was still an option

    bulky white linen jacket, John StJacques walked into the library of their new safe house, an estate
    on Chesapeake BayThe guard, a muscular, medium-sized man with clean-cut Hispanic features,

    Fanny could have said a great deal, but it was safer to say nothing,
    and leave untouched all Miss Crawford’s resources—her accomplishments,
    her spirits, her importance, her friends, lest it should betray
    her into any observations seemingly unhandsomeMiss Crawford’s
    kind opinion of herself deserved at least a grateful forbearance, and
    she began to talk of something else

    @@@@@It was a
    collection of killers, misfits, smugglers and thieves, mostly escaped criminals, many under death
    sentences, but they knew every inch of Southeast Asia and operated behind enemy lines—funded
    by us
    “Medusa,” whispered Steven DeSoleThey were animals, killing wantonly
    without reason or authorization and stealing millions
    “Most, not all,” said Conklin“But the original Bourne fitted every rotten profile you could
    come up with, including the betrayal of his own menThe leader of a particularly hazardous
    mission—hazardous, hell, it was suicidal—found Bourne radioing their position to the North
    VietnameseHe executed him on the spot, shoving the body into a swamp to rot in the jungles of
    Tam QuanJason Bourne disappeared from the face of the earth
    “He obviously reappeared, MrConklin,” observed the director, leaning forward on the table
    “In another body,” agreed Alex, noddingThe man who executed Bourne
    in Tam Quan took his name and agreed to be trained for an operation that we called Treadstone
    Seventy-one, after a building on New York’s Seventy-first Street, where he went through a brutal
    indoctrination programIt was a brilliant strategy on paper, but ultimately failed because of
    something no one could predict, even considerAfter nearly three years of living the role of the
    world’s second most lethal assassin and moving into Europe—as Steve accurately described—to
    challenge the Jackal in his own territory, our man was wounded and lost his memoryHe was found
    half dead in the Mediterranean and brought by a fisherman to the island of Port NoirHe had no
    idea who he was or what he was—only that he was a master of various martial arts, spoke a couple
    of Oriental languages, and was obviously an extremely well-educated manWith the help of a
    British doctor, an alcoholic banished to Port Noir, our man started to piece his life—his identity—
    back together from fragments both mental and physicalIt was a hell of a journey and we who
    had mounted the operation, who invented the myth, were no help to himNot knowing what had
    happened, we thought he had turned, had actually become the mythical assassin we’d created to
    trap CarlosI, myself, tried to kill him in Paris, and when he might have blown my head off, he
    couldn’t do itHe finally made his way back to us only through the extraordinary talents of a
    Canadian woman he met in Zurich and who is now his wifeThat lady had more guts and brains
    than any woman I’ve ever metNow she and her husband and their two kids are back in the

    what the others excited; but Sir Thomas was considering his happiness
    as very deeply involved in the offence of his sister and friend;
    cut off by it, as he must be, from the woman whom he had been
    pursuing with undoubted attachment and strong probability of success;
    and who, in everything but this despicable brother, would have
    been so eligible a connexionHe was aware of what Edmund must
    be suffering on his own behalf, in addition to all the rest, when they
    were in town: he had seen or conjectured his feelings; and, having
    reason to think that one interview with Miss Crawford had taken
    place, from which Edmund derived only increased distress, had been
    as anxious on that account as on others to get him out of town, and
    had engaged him in taking Fanny home to her aunt, rolex oyster perpetual daytona with a view to
    his relief and benefit, no less than theirsFanny was not in the secret
    of her uncle’s feelings, Sir Thomas not in the secret of Miss Crawford’s
    characterHad he been privy to her conversation with his son, he
    would not have wished her to belong to him, though her twenty
    thousand pounds had been forty
    That Edmund must be for ever divided from Miss Crawford did
    not admit of a doubt with Fanny; and yet, till she knew that he felt
    the same, her own conviction was insufficientShe thought he did,
    but she wanted to be assured of itIf he would now speak to her
    with the unreserve which had sometimes been too much for her before,

    till Sunday evening that Edmund began to talk to her on the subject
    Sitting with her on Sunday evening—a wet Sunday evening—
    the very time of all others when, if a friend is at hand, the heart
    must be opened, and everything told; no one else in the room, except
    his mother, who, after hearing an affecting sermon, had cried
    herself to sleep, it was impossible not to gucci tote speak; and so, with the
    usual beginnings, hardly to be traced as to what came first, and the
    usual declaration that if she would listen to him for a few minutes, he
    should be very brief, and certainly never tax her kindness in the same
    way again; she need not fear a repetition; it would be a subject prohibited
    entirely: he entered upon the luxury of relating circumstances
    and sensations of the first interest to himself, to one of whose affectionate
    sympathy he was quite convinced
    How Fanny listened, with what curiosity and concern, what pain
    and what delight, how the agitation of his voice was watched, and
    how carefully her own eyes were fixed on any object but himself,

    CrawfordHe had been invited to see herHe had received a note
    from Lady Stornaway to oyster rolex beg him to call; and regarding it as what
    was meant to be the last, last interview of friendship, and investing
    her with all the feelings of shame and wretchedness which Crawford’s
    sister ought to have known, he had gone to her in such a state of
    mind, so softened, so devoted, as made it for a few moments impossible
    to Fanny’s fears that it should be the lastBut as he proceeded
    in his story, these fears were overShe had met him, he said, with a
    serious—certainly a serious—even an agitated air; but before he had
    been able to speak one intelligible sentence, she had introduced the
    subject in a manner which he owned had shocked him“‘I heard
