The monk arched in silhouette, then fell, @@@@@ The monk arched in silhouette, then fell, his body tumbling, rolling, sprawling down the steps carved out of volcanic rock, finally lurching over the edge and plummeting to the sand below Bourne raced down the awkward, irregular stone staircase, the two commandos behind himHe reached the beach, raced over to the corpse, and pulled the drenched hood away from the faceIn horror, he looked at the black features of Samuel, the brother priest of Tranquility Isle, the Judas who had sold his soul to the Jackal for thirty pieces of silver Suddenly, in the distance, there was the roar of powerful dual engines as a huge speedboat lurched out of a shadowed section of the cove and sped for a break in the reefsThe beam of a searchlight shot out, firing the barriers of rock protruding above the choppy black water, its wash illuminating the fluttering ensign of the government’s drug fleetThe Jackal was no chameleon, but he had changed! He had aged, grown thinner and bald—he was not the sharp, broad, full-headed muscular image of Jason’s memoryOnly the indistinct dark Latin features remained, the face and the unfamiliar expanse of bare skin above burned by the sunHe was gone! The boat’s motors screamed in unison as the craft breached a precarious opening in the reef and burst out into open waterThen the words in heavily accented English, metallically spewing from the distant loudspeaker, echoed within the tropical cove “Paris, Jason Bourne! Paris, if you dare! Or shall it be a certain minor university in Maine, Dr Webb?” Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 173 Bourne, his neck wound ripped open, collapsed in the lapping waves, his blood trickling into the sea Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 174 18 Steven DeSole, keeper of the deepest secrets for the Central Intelligence Agency, forced his overweight frame out of the driver’s seatHe stood in the deserted parking lot of the small shopping center in Annapolis, Maryland, where the only source of light was the storefront neons of a closed gas station, with a large German shepherd sleeping in the windowDeSole adjusted his steelrimmed glasses and squinted at his watch, barely able to see the radium handsAs near as he could determine, it was between 3:15 and 3:20 in the morning, which meant he was early and that was goodHe had to adjust his thoughts; he was unable to do so while driving, as his severe night blindness necessitated complete concentration on the road, and hiring a taxi or a driver was out of the question The information was at first His name is Webb, the caller had saidThank you, he had repliedA sketchy description was given, one fitting several million men, so he had thanked the informer again and hung up the phoneBut then, in the recesses of his analyst’s mind, by profession and training a warehouse for both essential and incidental data, an alarm went offamnesia? A clinic in Virginia years agoA man more dead than alive had been flown down from a hospital in New York, the medical file so maximum classified it could not even be shown to the Oval OfficeYet interrogation specialists talk in dark corners, as often to relieve frustration as to impress a listener, and he had heard about a recalcitrant, unmanageable patient, an amnesiac they called “Davey” and sometimes just a short, sharp, hostile “Webb,” formerly a member of Saigon’s infamous Medusa, and a man they suspected of feigning his loss of memor | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 10:19 pm |

One other thing occurred in my other life @@@@@ One other thing occurred in my other life before I slipped through that door, thoughIt was what happened to Monica Goldstein's Jack Russell Terrier, Gandalf 40 viii If you've been picturing my convalescent retreat as a lakeside cottage standing in splendid isolation at the end of a lonely dirt road in the north woods, you better think again - we're talking your basic suburbiaOur place by the lake stood at the end of Aster Lane, a paved street running from East Hoyt Avenue to the waterOur closest neighbors were the Goldsteins In the middle of October, I finally took Kathi Green's advice and began to walkThese were not the Great Beach Walks I took later, and I came back from even these short outings with my bad hip crying for mercy (and more than once with tears standing in my eyes), but they were steps in the right directionI was returning from one of these walks when MrsFevereau hit Monica's dog I was three-quarters of the way home when the Fevereau woman went past me in her ridiculous mustard-colored HummerAs always, she had her cell phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other; as always she was going too fastI barely 41 noticed, and I certainly didn't see Gandalf dash into the street up ahead, concentrating only on Monica, coming down the other side of the street in Full Girl ScoutI was concentrating on my reconstructed hipAs always near the end of my short strolls, this so-called medical marvel felt packed with roughly ten thousand tiny points of broken glass Then tires yowled, and a little girl's scream joined them: "GANDALF, NO!" For a moment I had a clear and unearthly vision of the crane that had almost killed me, the world I'd always lived in suddenly eaten up by a yellow much brighter than MrsFevereau's Hummer, and black letters floating in it, swelling, getting larger: LINK-BELT Then Gandalf began to scream, too, and the flashback - what DrKamen would have called a recovered memory, I suppose - was goneUntil that afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't known dogs could scream I broke into a lurching, crabwise run, pounding the sidewalk with my red crutchI'm sure it would have appeared ludicrous to an onlooker, but no one 42 was paying any attention to meMonica Goldstein was kneeling in the middle of the street beside her dog, which lay in front of the Hummer's high, boxy grilleHer face was white above her forestgreen uniform, from which a sash of badges and medals hungThe end of this sash was soaking in a spreading pool of Gandalf's bloodFevereau half-jumped and half-fell from the Hummer's ridiculously high driver's seat | | Friday, December 31st, 2010 | | 10:19 pm |

What are you talking about?” “I’m at a cemetery about twenty-five miles from ParisI tell you—” “A cimitero?” interrupted Louis“What the hell for?” “Because your two acquaintances drove here from the airport, you ignorante! At the moment there is a burial in progress—a night burial with a candlelight procession which will soon be drowned out by rain—and if your two acquaintances flew over here to attend this barbaric ceremony, then the air in America is filled with brain-damaging pollutants!
