    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

    Jason leaned forward over the bulging bar and ordered une bière, grateful that the bartender was
    too busy and the music too loud for the man to have overheard the conversationHowever, he was
    infinitely more grateful to Saint Alex of Conklin, whose primary advice to a field agent was to “get
    in bad with a mark first before you get in good,” the theory being that the reversal from hostility to
    amiability was far stronger for the changeBourne swallowed the beer in reliefHe had made a
    friend at Le Coeur du SoldatIt was an inroad, minor but vital, and perhaps not so minor
    Tank Shirt returned, his thick arm around the shoulders of a younger man in his early twenties,
    of medium height and with the physique of a large safe; he was wearing an American field jacket
    Jason started to get off the barstool“Sit, sit!” cried his new friend, leaning forward to be heard
    through the crowds and the music“I brought us a virgin
    “What?”
    “You forgot so quickly? He’s on his way to becoming a Legion recruit
    “Oh, that,” laughed Bourne, covering his gaffe“I wondered in a place like this—”
    “In a place like this,” broke in Tank Shirt, “half will take it or give it either way as long as it’s
    roughBut that’s neither here nor thereI thought he should talk to youHe’s American and his
    French is grotesque, but if you speak slow, he’ll catch on
    “No need to,” said Jason in faintly accented English“I grew up in Neufchatel, but I spent
    several years in the States
    “That’s nice to heah The American’s speech was distinctly Deep South, his smile genuine, his
    eyes wary but unafraid
    “Then let us start again,” said the Belgian in heavily accented EnglishMaurice,

    We stopped at Art & Artifacts of Sarasota on our
    way back, and while we were in there, I asked Jack
    if he knew anything about Sarasota art galleries
    "Way ahead of you, bossMy Mom used to work in
    one called the Scoto
    "Is that supposed to mean something to me?"

    "It's the hot-shit gallery on the arty side of
    town," he said, then rethought that"I mean that

    "It is a hot-shit gallery
    "Meaning big prices?"

    but when I burst out laughing, he joined meThat
    was the day, I think, when Jack Cantori became my

    whole pointBut my lungs didn't calm until I could glimpse the vague shape under the blanket
    on the backseat
    I opened the door and put the backpack on the passenger seat–it settled there with a reassuring
    clatter–then I climbed in and shut the doorThere was no reason to slam the locks down; I
    ignored the urge
    “Are you okay?” Jared whispered as soon as the door was closedHis voice was a strained,
    anxious rasp
    “Shh,” I said, keeping my lips as still as I could
    I drove past the bright entrance and answered Cerulean's wave with one of my own
    “Making friends?”
    We were on the dark roadNo one was watching me anymoreI slumped in the seatMy hands
    started to shakeI could allow that, now that it was overNow that I'd succeeded
    “All souls are friends,” I told him, using my normal volume
    “Are you all right?” he demanded again
    I stretched my left arm across my body, so he could see the tiny pink line
    He sucked in a surprised breath
    The blanket rustled; he sat up and then climbed through the space between the seatsHe
    pushed the backpack out of the way, then pulled it onto his lap, testing its weight
    He looked up at me as we passed under a streetlamp, and he gasped
    “Your face!”
    “It's healed, too

    "Yeah," Stanley saidHe was not really listeningStanley was feeling a diffused rebellion at the things that made him worried and envious, made him always ferret for some advantageHe did not know what caused it in himself, but without putting it into words he was brooding that there would be many nights through all the rest of his life when he would lie sweating and restive, prey to all the latest torments of his mind

    He had fled the Banque Normandie as if its confines held the germs of a lethal diseaseHe had
    returned to the Pont-Royal, and again tried to reach Alex Conklin in the United StatesIt was then
    close to one o’clock in the afternoon in Vienna, Virginia, and still all he had heard was an
    answering machine with Alex’s disembodied voice instructing the caller to leave a messageFor
    any number of reasons, Jason had chosen not to do so
    And now he was in Argenteuil, walking up the steps of the métro to the pavement, where he
    would slowly, cautiously make his way into the uglier streets and the vicinity of Le Coeur du
    SoldatHis instructions were clearHe was not to be the man he was last night, no limp, no ragged
    cast-off army clothing, no image that anyone might recognizeHe was to be a simple laborer and
    reach the gates of the old closed-down refinery and smoke cigarettes while leaning against the wall
    This was to take place between 12:30 and one o’clock in the morningNo sooner and no later
    When he had asked Santos’s messengers—after giving them several hundred francs for their
    inconvenience—the reason for these late-night precautions, the less inhibited man had replied,
    “Santos never leaves Le Coeur du Soldat
    “He left last evening
    “For minutes only,” rejoined the more voluble messenger Bourne nodded, but he had not understood, he could only speculateWas Santos
    in some way the Jackal’s prisoner, confined to the sleazy café night and day? It was a fascinating
    query in light of the manager’s size and sheer raw power, both combined with a far-above-average

    It was 12:37 when Jason, in blue jeans, cap and a dark, tattered V-necked sweater, reached the
    gates of the old factoryHe took out a pack of Gauloise cigarettes and leaned against the wall,
    lighting one with a match, holding the flame longer than necessary before he blew it outHis
    thoughts returned to the enigmatic Santos, the premier conduit in Carlos’s army, the most trusted
    satellite in the Jackal’s orbit, a man whose French might have been formed at the Sorbonne, yet
    Santos was a Latin AmericanA Venezuelan, if Bourne’s instincts had meritAnd
    Santos wanted to see him ‘with peace in his heart Bravo, amigo, thought JasonSantos had
    reached a terrified ambassador in London with a question so loaded it made a political party’s

    We didn't speak for the rest of the evening, all of us made thoughtful by what we'd seenWe
    went to sleep early, so we could rise early and get back to work
    I slept alone, in the bed farthest from the doorThis made me uncomfortableThe two big men
    did not fit easily on the other bed; Ian tended to sprawl when he was deeply asleep, and Jared
    was not above throwing punches when that happenedBoth of them would be more
    comfortable if I sharedI slept in a small ball now; maybe it was the too-open spaces I moved in
    all day that had me constricting in on myself at night, or maybe I was just so used to curling up
    to sleep in the tiny space behind the passenger seat on the van's floor that I'd forgotten how to
    sleep straight
    But I knew why no one asked me to shareThe first night the men had unhappily realized the
    necessity of a hotel shower for me, I'd heard Ian and Jared talking about me over the whir of the

    Having formed her mind and gained her affections, he had a good
    chance of her thinking like him; though at this period, and on this
    subject, there began now to be some danger of dissimilarity, for he
    was in a line of admiration of Miss Crawford, which might lead
    him where Fanny could not followMiss Crawford’s attractions did
    not lessenThe harp arrived, and rather added to her beauty, wit,
    and good-humour; for she played with the greatest obligingness,
    with an expression and taste which were peculiarly becoming, and
    there was something clever to be said at the close of every airEdmund
    was at the Parsonage every day, to be indulged with his favourite
    instrument: one morning secured an invitation for the next; for the
    lady could not be unwilling to have a listener, and every thing was

    harmony; and as everything will turn to account when love is once
    set going, even the sandwich tray, and DrGrant doing the honours
    of it, were worth looking atWithout studying the business, however,
    or knowing what he was about, Edmund was beginning, at the
    end of a week of such intercourse, to be a good deal in love; and to
    the credit of the lady it may be added that, without his being a man
    of the world or an elder brother, without any of the arts of flattery
    or the gaieties of small talk, he began to be agreeable to herShe felt
    it to be so, chanel jewelry though she had not foreseen, and could hardly understand
    it; for he was not pleasant by any common rule: he talked no
    nonsense; he paid no compliments; his opinions were unbending,
    his attentions tranquil and simpleThere was a charm, perhaps, in
    his sincerity, his steadiness, his integrity, which Miss Crawford might
    be equal to feel, though not equal to discuss with herselfShe did
    not think very much about it, however: he pleased her for the present;
    she liked to have him near her; it was enough
    Fanny could not wonder that Edmund was at the Parsonage every

    gone in uninvited and unnoticed, to hear the harp; neither could
    she wonder that, when the evening stroll was over, and the two
    families parted again, he should think it right to attend MrsGrant
    and her sister to their home, while MrCrawford was devoted to the
    ladies of the Park; but she chanel handbags sale thought it a very bad exchange; and if
    Edmund were not there to mix the wine and water for her, would
    rather go without it than notShe was a little surprised that he could
    spend so many hours with Miss Crawford, and not see more of the
    sort of fault which he had already observed, and of which she was
    almost always reminded by a something of the same nature whenever
    she was in her company; but so it wasEdmund was fond of
    speaking to her of Miss Crawford, but he seemed to think it enough
    that the Admiral had since been spared; and she scrupled to point
    out her own remarks to him, lest it should appear like ill-nature
    The first actual pain which Miss Crawford occasioned her was the
    consequence of an inclination to learn to ride, which the former

    caught, soon after her being settled at Mansfield, from the example
    of the young ladies at the Park, and which, when Edmund’s acquaintance
    with her omega sale increased, led to his encouraging the wish, and
    the offer of his own quiet mare for the purpose of her first attempts,
    as the best fitted for a beginner that either stable could furnishNo
    pain, no injury, however, was designed by him to his cousin in this
    offer: she was not to lose a day’s exercise by itThe mare was only to
    be taken down to the Parsonage half an hour before her ride were to
    begin; and Fanny, on its being first proposed, so far from feeling
    slighted, was almost over-powered with gratitude that he should be
    asking her leave for it
    Miss Crawford made her first essay with great credit to herself,
    and no inconvenience to FannyEdmund, who had taken down the
    mare and presided at the whole, returned with it in excellent time,
    before either Fanny or the steady old coachman, who always attended
    her when she rode without her cousins, were ready to set

    Croft felt superior and dejectedHe had been disappointed when he had learned weeks before that recon was to be assigned to the beach detail for the first weekAnd he had felt a silent contempt when the men in the platoon had shown their pleasure in the news"Chickenshit," he muttered to himself nowA man who was afraid to put his neck out on the line was no damn goodLeading the men was a responsibility he craved; he felt powerful and certain at such momentsHe longed to be in the battle that was taking place inland from the beach, and he resented the decision which left the platoon on an unloading detailHe passed his hand along his gaunt hard cheek and looked silently about him
    Hennessey was standing near the sternAs Croft watched his white silent face, he decided that Hennessey was frightened and it amused himThe boy found it hard to be still; he kept bobbing about in his place, and once or twice he flinched noticeably at a sudden noise; his leg began to itch and he scratched it violentlyThen, as Croft watched, Hennessey pulled his left trouser out of his legging, rolled it up to expose his knee, and with a great deal of care rubbed a little spittle over the irritated red spot on his kneeCroft gazed at the white flesh with its blond hairs, noticed the pains with which Hennessey replaced his trouser in the legging, and felt an odd excitement as if the motions were importantThat boy is too careful, Croft told himself

    Here Fanny, who could not but listen, involuntarily shook her
    head, and Crawford was instantly by her side again, entreating to
    know her meaning; and as Edmund perceived, by his drawing in a
    chair, and sitting down close by her, that it was to be a very thorough
    attack, that looks and undertones were to be well tried, he
    sank as quietly as possible into a corner, turned his back, and took
    up a newspaper, very sincerely wishing that dear little Fanny might
    be persuaded into explaining away that shake of the head to the
    satisfaction of her ardent lover; and as earnestly trying to bury every
    sound of the business from himself in murmurs of his own, over the
    various advertisements of “A most desirable Estate in South Wales”;
    “To Parents and Guardians”; and a “Capital season’d Hunter

    @@@@@If the Jackal’s
    man was among them—and he might well be—it would take far more information than was to be
    found in the printouts before Jason could refine the listIt might be necessary to go back to this
    group, but for the moment he had to keep readingThere was so little time!
    Of the remaining five hundred or so American guests at the hotel, two hundred and twelve had
    entries in one or more of the intelligence data banks, the majority because they had business with
    the governmentHowever, seventy-eight had raw-file negative evaluationsThirty-one were
    Internal Revenue Service matters, which meant they were suspected of destroying or falsifying
    financial records and/or had tax havens in Swiss or Cayman Island accountsThey were zero,
    nothing, merely rich and not very bright thieves, and, further, the sort of “messengers” Carlos
    would avoid like lepers
    That left forty-seven possiblesMen and women—in eleven cases ostensibly husbands and
    wives—with extensive connections in Europe, in the main with technological firms and related
    nuclear and aerospace industries, all under intelligence microscopes for possibly selling classified
    information to brokers of the Eastern bloc and therefore to MoscowOf these forty-seven possibles,
    including two of the eleven couples, an even dozen had made recent trips to the Soviet Union—
    scratch all of themThe Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti, otherwise known as the KGB, had
    less use for the Jackal than the PopeIlich Ramirez Sanchez, later Carlos the assassin, had been
    trained in the American compound of Novgorod, where the streets were lined with American gas
    stations and grocery stores, boutiques and Burger Kings, and everyone spoke American English
    with diverse dialects—no Russian was allowed—and only those who passed the course were
    permitted to proceed to the next level of infiltratorsThe Jackal had, indeed, passed, but when the
    Komitet discovered that the young Venezuelan revolutionary’s solution for all things disagreeable
    was to eliminate them violently, it was too much for even the inheritors of the brutal OGPU
    Sanchez was expelled and Carlos the Jackal was bornForget about the twelve people who had
    traveled to the Soviet UnionThe assassin would not touch them, for there was a standing order in
    all branches of Russian intelligence that if Carlos was tracked he was to be shotNovgorod was to
    be protected at all cost
    The possibles were thus narrowed to thirty-five, the hotel’s register listing them as nine couples,
    four single women and thirteen single menThe raw-file printouts from the data banks de scribed in
    detail the facts and speculations that resulted in the negative evaluation of each individualIn truth,
    the speculations far outnumbered the facts and were too often based on hostile appraisals given by
