2:27 am	@@@@@For the men at the point of the column every @@@@@For the men at the point of the column every step demanded an inordinate effort of willThey shivered with revulsion, halted often to catch their breathThe jungle dripped wetly about them everywhere; the groves of bamboo trees grew down to the river edge, their lacy delicate foliage lost in the welter of vines and treesThe brush mounted on the tree trunks, grew over their heads; the black river silt embedded itself in the roots of the bushes and between the pebbles under their feetThe water trickled over the stream bank tinkling pleasantly, but it was lost in the harsh uprooted cries of the jungle birds, the thrumming of the insects Slowly, inevitably, the men felt the water soak through the greased waterproofing of their shoes, slosh up to their knees whenever they had to wade through a deeper portion of the streamTheir packs became heavy, their arms grew numb and their backs began to acheMost of the men were carrying thirty pounds of rations and bedding, and with their two canteens of water, their ten clips of ammunition, their two or three grenades, their rifles and machetes, each of them had distributed almost sixty pounds of equipment over his body, the weight of a very heavy suitcaseMost of them became tired in walking the first few hundred yards; by the time they had gone perhaps half a mile they were weary and their breath was short; the weaker ones were beginning to have the sour flat taste of fatigueThe density of the jungle, the miasmal mists, the liquid rustlings, the badgering of the insects lost their first revulsion and terrorThey were no longer so conscious of the foreboding wilderness before them; the vague unnamed stimulations and terrors of exploring this tunnel through the jungle became weaker, sank at last into the monotonous grinding demands of the marchDespite Croft's lecture, they began to walk with their heads down, looking at their feet The river narrowed, and the ribbon of shallow water contracted to a strip along the bank, no wider than a footpathThey were beginning to climbAlready the stream had dropped from a few minor waterfalls, had churned over a short stretch of tumbled rocksThe pebbles underfoot slowly were replaced by river sand and then by mudThe men marched closer to the bank, and at last the foliage began to whip at them, obstructing their wayThey proceeded much more slowly now Around a turn they halted and surveyed the stretch aheadThe foliage grew into the water at this point, and Croft, after considering the problem, waded out to the center of the streamFive yards from the shore he haltedThe water was close to his waist, swirling powerfully about him"We're gonna have to hold to the bank, Lootenant," he decidedHe began to fight his way along the edge of the stream, holding to the foliage, the water covering his thighsLaboriously the men followed him, strung out along the (Comment on this)
2:14 am	@@@@@ Ripples on the water were still spreading @@@@@ Ripples on the water were still spreading from the fragments of the pebble"Goddam," Dalleson said again with enjoyment"I appreciate this, Leach "That's okay, sir "Lemme pay you for it "I insist," Dalleson saidHe slipped the magazine out of the carbine, and fired the round remaining in the chamber into the air"Let's call it a quarter for the three picturesI sure hope they come out good He patted Leach on the back"C'mon, son, let's you and me go for a swim This was all right 9 RECON began working on the road again after they returned from the frontThe line companies advanced their positions several times and the men in the rear heard rumors that they were close to the Toyaku LineActually they knew very little about what was happening in the campaign; the days repeated themselves without incident, and they were no longer able to distinguish between things which had happened a few days beforeThey would stand guard at night, awaken a half hour after dawn, eat breakfast, wash their mess kits, shave, and load onto trucks which drove them through the jungle to the stretch of road upon which they were workingThey would return at noon, go out again after chow, and work until late afternoon when they would come back for supper, take a bath perhaps in the stream just outside the bivouac, and then go to sleep soon after darkThey had about an hour and a half of guard each night, and they were thoroughly accustomed to it; they had forgotten what it was like to sleep for eight consecutive hoursThe rainy season had come on and they were always wetAfter a time it was no longer a discomfortThe dampness of their clothing seemed perfectly natural to them, and it was very difficult to remember just what it had felt like to wear a dry uniform About a week after they had come back, a load of mail came to the islandThey were the first letters the men had received in several weeks, and for a night it relieved the changeless pattern of their livesOne of the infrequent rations of beer was given out the same night, and the men finished their three cans quickly, and sat about without saying very muchThe beer had been far too inadequate to make them drunk; it made them only moody and reflective, it opened the gate to all their memories, and left them sad, hungering for things they could not name (Comment on this)

2:27 am	@@@@@Orders had been given couched in language @@@@@Orders had been given couched in language far removed from Krupkin’s instructions: Stay inside your rooms, pleaseOur people are investigatingIt was always “our people,” never “the police,” never “the authorities”; with those names came panicAnd panic was precisely what Medusa’s Delta One had in mindPanic and diversion, eternal components for the human snare, lifelong allies in the springing trap Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 391 He raised the Graz Burya automatic, aiming at one of the ornate hallway chandeliers, and fired twice, simultaneously shouting furiously as the earsplitting explosions accompanied the shattered glass that plummeted from the ceiling“There he goes! A black suit!” His feet pounding, Bourne ran with loud emphatic strides down the corridor to the eighth door on the left, then past the door, shouting once againthe exit!” He abruptly stopped, firing a third shot into another chandelier, the jarring cacophony covering the absent noise of his pounding feet as he spun around, throwing his back against the opposing wall of the eighth door, then pushing himself away, hurling his body at the door and crashing into it, smashing it off its hinges as helurched inside, plunging to the floor, his weapon raised, prepared for rapid fire He was wrong! He knew it instantly—a final reverse trap was in the making! He heard another door opening somewhere outside—he either heard it or he instinctively knew it! He rolled furiously to his right, over and over again, his legs crashing into a floor lamp, sending it toward the door, his panicked darting eyes catching a glimpse of an elderly couple clutching each other, crouching in a far corner The white-gowned figure burst into the room, his automatic pistol spitting indiscriminately, the staccato reports deafeningBourne fired repeatedly into the mass of white as he sprang into the left wall, knowing that if for only a split second he was positioned on the killer’s blind right flankIt was enough! The Jackal was caught in his shoulder—his right shoulder! The weapon literally snapped out of his grip as he jerked up his forearm, his fingers spastically uncurled under the impact of the Graz Burya’s penetrationWith no cessation of movement, the Jackal swung around, the bloody long white robe separating, billowing like a sail as he grabbed the massive flesh wound with his left hand and violently kicked the floor lamp into Jason’s face Bourne fired again, half blinded by the flying shade of the heavy lamp, his weapon deflected by the thick stemThe shot went wild; steadying his hand, he squeezed the trigger again, only to hear the sickening finality of a sharp metallic click—the gun’s magazine was empty! Struggling to a crouch, he lunged for the blunt, ugly automatic weapon as the white-robed Carlos raced through the shattered doorway into the corridorJason got to his feet, but his knee collapsed! It had buckled under his own weightOh, Christ! He crawled to the edge of the bed and dived over the pulleddown sheets toward the bedside telephone—it had been demolished, the Jackal had shot it apart! Carlos’s demented mind was summoning up every tactic, every counteraction he had ever used Another sound! This loud and abruptThe crash bar on the hallway’s stairway exit had been slammed into the opening position, the heavy metal door smashed back into the concrete wall of the landingThe Jackal was heading down the flights of steps to the lobbyIf the front desk had listened to Conklin, he was trapped! Bourne looked at the elderly couple in the corner, affected by the fact that the old man was covering the woman with his own bodysaid, trying to calm them by lowering his voice“I know you probably don’t understand me—I don’t speak Russian—but you’re safe now “We don’t speak Russian either,” admitted the man, an Englishman, in clipped, guarded tones, straining his neck as he looked at Jason while trying to ris (Comment on this)

It’s an answering machine, that’s all it isWe can get a location “To what end? Whoever picks up the messages does it by remote, and if he or she has half a brain, it’s done from a public phoneThe relay is not only untraceable but capable of erasing all other messages, so we can’t tap in “You’re not very into high tech, are you, Field Man?” “Let’s put it this way,” replied Conklin“I bought one of those VCRs so I could watch old movies, and I can’t figure out how to turn off the goddamn blinking clockI called the dealer and he said, ‘Read the instructions on the interior panel I can’t find the interior panel “Then let me explain what we can do to an answering machineWe can jam it externally “Gee willikers, Sandy, what’s next for Orphan Annie?

"I don't know, I just didn'tI had an old friend named Aggie Winterborn who used to do the adviceto- the-lovelorn column in the Tampa Trib, and I happened to mention the story once to herThis was around the time Dalí was favoring the Suncoast with his presence, maybe 1980We were in a bar somewhere - in those days we were always in a bar somewhere - and the conversation had turned to how legends are builtI mentioned the story of how Elizabeth had supposedly been a baby Rembrandt as an example of that, and Aggie - long dead, God rest her - said she didn't think that was a legend, she thought it was the truth, or a version of it She said she'd seen a newspaper story about it "Did you ever check?" I askedI don't write everything I know" - she tipped me a wink - "but I like to know everything "What did you find?" "NothingNot in the Tribune, not in the Sarasota or Venice papers, eitherSo maybe it was just a storyHell, maybe all that stuff about her father storing Dave Davis's whiskey on Duma Key was just 618 a story, tooI'd've bet money on Aggie Winterborn's memoryAnd Elizabeth had a look on her face when I asked her about it "What kind of look?" "An I'm-not-telling-you lookBut all that's a long time ago, much booze under the bridge since, and you can't ask her about it now, can you?

Could some stranger's verdict take away my new confidence in myself, steal my peculiar new joy? "Maybe," I saidBecause painting pictures wasn't like putting up shopping malls The easiest thing would be just to cancel the appointmentexcept I'd sort of promised Ilse, and I wasn't in the habit of breaking the promises I made to my children My right arm was still itching, itching almost hard enough to hurt, but I barely noticedThere were eight or nine canvases lined up against the wall to my leftI turned toward them, thinking 237 I'd try to decide which ones were best, but I never so much as looked at them Tom Riley was standing at the head of the stairs He was naked except for a pair of light blue pajama pants, darker at the crotch and down the inside of one leg, where he had wet themHis right eye was goneThere was a matted socket full of red and black gore where it had beenDried blood streaked back along his right temple like war paint, disappearing into graying hair above his earHis other eye stared out at the Gulf of MexicoCarnival sunset swam over his narrow, pallid face I shrieked in surprise and terror, recoiled, and fell off my chairI landed on my bad hip and yelled out again, this time from painI jerked and my foot struck the chair I'd been sitting in, knocking it overWhen I looked toward the stairs again, Tom was (Comment on this)

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 265 26 Twice Bourne had passed the dark, quiet row of old stone houses on the boulevard Lefebvre in the concrete backwater of the fifteenth arrondissementHe then doubled back to the rue d’Alésia and found a sidewalk caféThe outdoor tables, their candles flickering under glass, were peopled mostly by gesturing, argumentative students from the nearby Sorbonne and MontparnasseIt was nearing ten o’clock and the aproned waiters were growing irritable; the chanel wholesale majority of customers were not full of largess, either in their hearts or in their pocketsJason wanted only a strong espresso, but the perpetual scowl on the face of the approaching gar?on convinced him he would get mud if he ordered only the coffee, so he added the most expensive brandy he could recall by name As the waiter returned to the service bar, Jason pulled out his small notebook and ballpoint pen, shutting his eyes for a moment, then opening them and sketching out everything he could envision from the row of houses on his inner screenThere were three structures of two attached houses each, separated by two narrow alleywaysEach double complex was three stories high, each omega ladies watch front entrance reached by climbing a steep flight of brick steps, and at either end of the row were vacant lots covered with rubble, the remains of demolished adjacent buildingsThe address of the Jackal’s buried telephone number—the address was available in the underground tunnels solely for repair purposes—was the final structure on the right, and it took no imagination to know he occupied the entire building, if not the entire row Carlos was the consummate self-protector, so one had to assume that his Paris command post would be a fortress, employing every human and electronic security device that loyalty and high technology could provideAnd the seemingly isolated, all but chanel cc earrings deserted, section of the outlying fifteenth arrondissement served his purposes far better than any crowded section of the cityFor that reason, Bourne had first paid a drunken tramp to walk with him during his initial foray past the houses, he himself limping unsteadily in the shadows beside his companion; and for his second appraisal, he had hired a middle-aged whore as his cover, with no limp or stagger in his gaitHe knew the terrain now, for all the good it did him, but it was the beginning of the endHe swore himself to that! The waiter arrived with his espresso and the cognac, and only when Jason placed a hundredfranc note on the table, accompanied by a wave of his hand, did the hermes kelly bag man’s hostile countenance move to neutral ground “Is there a pay phone nearby?” asked Bourne, removing an additional ten-franc note “Down the street, fifty, sixty meters,” replied the waiter, his eyes on the new money “Nothing closer?” Jason peeled off another note, twenty francs“I’m calling right here within a few blocks “Come with me,” said the aproned gar?on, gingerly picking up the franc notes and leading Bourne through the open doors of the café to a cashier seated on high at the far end of the restaurantThe gaunt, sallow-faced woman looked annoyed; obviously she assumed that Bourne was a discontented customer “Let him use your telephone,” said the waiter “Why?” spat out the gucci ladies watches harri (Comment on this)
