    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

    original sketches by celebrated designersLike a Mondrian, the furniture was stark in its simplicity,
    the colors bold and predominantly red, black and deep green; the chairs, sofas and tables only
    vaguely resembled chairs, sofas and tables—they seemed more suitable for use in spacecraft
    As if by rote, both Conklin and the Russian immediately began examining the tables, ferreting
    out handwritten notes, a number of which were beside a mother-of-pearl telephone on top of a
    curved, thick dark green table of sorts
    “If this is a desk,” said Alex, “where the hell are the drawers or the handles?”
    “It’s the newest thing from Leconte,” replied Krupkin
    “The tennis player?” interrupted Conklin
    “No, Aleksei, the furniture designerYou press in and they shoot out
    Conklin did so and a barely discernible drawer sprang loose from an all but invisible crack“I’ll
    be damned—”
    Krupkin’s miniaturized radio suddenly erupted with two sharp beeps from inside his breast
    pocket“It must be Sergei checking in,” said Dimitri, removing the instrument“You’re in place,
    comrade?” he continued, speaking into the base of the radio
    “More than that,” came the aide’s quiet voice accompanied by minor static“The Lavier woman
    has just entered the building
    “The concierge?”
    “Nowhere in sightAleksei, get away from thereLavier is on her way up
    “You want to hide?” asked Conklin facetiously, turning the pages of a telephone notebook
    “I’d rather not start off with instant hostility, which will be the case if she sees you riffling
    through her personal effects
    “All right, all right Alex returned the notebook to the drawer and closed it“But if she isn’t
    going to cooperate, I’m taking that little black book
    “She’ll cooperate,” said Bourne“I told you, she wants out, and the only way out for her is with
    a dead JackalThe money’s secondary—not inconsequential, but getting out comes first

    I joined Wireman and Elizabeth for coffee at the
    end of El Palacio's boardwalk the next morningI
    was down to nothing but aspirin to get going, and

    I'd inherited a great deal of grief for Cloud SpinnerI missed the mother I'd never known and
    mourned for her suffering nowPerhaps there could be no joy on this planet without an equal
    weight of pain to balance it out on some unknown scale
    I'd inherited unexpected limitationsI was used to a body that was strong and fast and tall–a
    body that could run for miles, go without food and water, lift heavy weights, and reach high
    shelvesThis body prada clutch was weak–and not just physicallyThis body seized up with crippling shyness
    every time I was unsure of myself, which seemed to be often these days
    I'd inherited a different role in the human communityPeople carried things for me now and let
    me pass first into a roomThey gave me the easiest chores and then, half the time, took the
    work right out of my hands anywayWorse than that, I needed the helpMy muscles were soft
    and not used to laborI replica prada tired easily, and my attempts to hide that fooled no oneI probably
    couldn't have run a mile without stopping
    There was more to this easy treatment than just my physical weakness, thoughI was used to a
    pretty face, but one that people were able to look at with fear, mistrust, even hatredMy new
    face defied such emotions
    People touched my cheeks often, or put their fingers under my chin, holding my face up to see it
    betterI was frequently patted on messenger bag prada my head (which was in easy reach, since I was shorter than
    everyone but the children), and my hair was stroked so regularly that I stopped noticing when it
    happenedThose who had never accepted me before did this as often as my friendsEven
    Lucina put up only a token resistance when her children began following me like two adoring
    puppiesFreedom, in particular, crawled onto my lap at every opportunity, burrowing his face in
    my hairIsaiah was gucci tote too big for such displays of affection, but he liked to hold my hand–just the
    same size as his–while chattering excitedly with me about Spiders and Dragons, soccer and
    raidsThe children still wouldn't go anywhere near Melanie; their mother had frightened them
    too thoroughly before for her reassurances to change things now
    Even Maggie and Sharon, though they still tried not to look at me, could not maintain their

    @@@@@Minetta was in poor condition from his week in the hospital, and Roth had never been very strongThe long march up the river had fagged them brutally; overtired, the rest periods did them little good and laboring on the trail was tortureAfter thirty seconds, after three or four slashes with his machete, Roth was unable to raise his armThe machete felt heavy as an axHe lifted it with both hands, dropped it feebly on the branch or vine before himEvery half minute, the knife slipped out of his sweating nerveless fingers and went clattering to the ground
    Minetta's fingers had begun to blister and the handle of the machete rasped against his palm, rubbed sweat into all the sores on his handHe would attack a bush violently and clumsily, forcing himself into a rage at its stubbornness, and then he would halt, winded, cursing between his sobs at the dank pappy mesh of verdure before himHe and Roth worked side by side, cramped together in the narrow aisle of the trailIn their exhaustion they often blundered against each other, and Minetta would swear with irritationThey disliked each other as intensely as they hated the jungle, the patrol, and CroftMinetta brooded because Croft was not working; it became the crux of his bitterness"It's easy enough for that goddam Croft to tell us what to do, but he ain't doin' itI don't see him working his ass off," Minetta muttered"If I was a platoon sergeant, I wouldn't treat the guys like thatI'd be right with them, working
    Ridges and Goldstein were standing about five yards behind themThe four men made up one of the teams, and theoretically they were supposed to divide their five-minute shiftBut after an hour or two, Goldstein and Ridges were working for three minutes and then four minutesWatching Minetta and Roth hack with their machetes, Ridges was indignant"Shoot," he would reprove them, "ain't you city fellers ever learned to use a little ol' knife like that?"
    Breathless, enraged, they would make no answer, and this would annoy Ridges moreHe had a lively discernment of injustice toward other men and toward himself, and thought it was decidedly unfair for Goldstein and him to work more than the other pair"Ah done the same work you done," he would complain, "Ah went up the same river you did, an' they ain't no reason 'tall why Gol'stein and me gotta be doin' all yore work

    drawled, "I might as well go beg Sally to run away with meShe's
    turned me down the last fifty times, but my luck might have changed
    The three of them went, laughing, in search of SallyShe was sitting
    on a windowsill holding her slippers in her hand"Who ever said that
    the proof of the perfect ball is that you dance through the soles of
    your slippers?" she asked plaintively"I did and now I've got
    blisters on both feet"I'll carry you down,
    you troublesome woman, but then you cover your feet like a
    respectable
    person and hobble to supper
    "Brute!" said SallyScarlett saw the look they exchanged and her
    heart cramped with envy"What fascinating thing were you talking
    about with Edward Cooper for so long? I'm starving She looked at
    Rhett, and the pain grew worseI won't think about itI won't ruin
    this perfect night"He was informing me that, due to my bad
    influence, Tommy's grades in school are fallingAs a punishment he's
    selling the little boat the boy loves so much
    "That's cruel!" Scarlett exclaimed"The boy will get it backNow let's get to supper before all the oysters are gone
    For once in your life, Scarlett, you're going to have more food than
    you can possibly eat

    and it's almost Lent It was shortly after two when the doors to the
    Hibernian Hall openedThe young black torch boys were yawning
    when
    they took their positions to light the revellers outAs their torches

    “I don’t believe this conversation,” said Bourne, picking up the flight bags
    “Welcome to the real world of high-tech intelligence,” explained Conklin, laughing quietly“At
    least from one point of view
    “From all points of view,” continued Krupkin as they started toward the limousine“However,
    we will dispense with this conversation while riding in an official vehicle, won’t we, gentlemen?
    Incidentally, you have a two-bedroom suite at the Metropole on the Marx ProspektIt’s convenient
    and I’ve personally shut down all listening devices
    “I can understand why, but how did you manage it?”
    “Embarrassment, as you well know, is the Komitet’s greatest enemyI explained to internal
    security that what might be recorded could prove most embarrassing to the wrong people, who
    would undoubtedly transfer any who overheard the tapes to Kamchatka They reached the car, the
    left rear door opened by a driver in a dark brown business suit identical with the one worn by
    Sergei in Paris“The fabric’s the same,” said Krupkin in French, noting his companions’ reaction to
    the similar apparel“Unfortunately the tailoring is notI insisted Sergei have his refitted in the
    Faubourg
    The Hotel Metropole is a renovated, prerevolutionary structure built in the ornate style of
    architecture favored by the czar who had visited fin-de-siècle Vienna and ParisThe ceilings are
    high, the marble profuse, and the occasional tapestries pricelessIntrinsic to the elaborate lobby is a
    defiance aimed at a government that would permit so many shabby citizens to invade the premises
    The majestic walls and the glittering, filigreed chandeliers seem to stare at the unworthy trespassers
    with disdainThese impressions, however, did not apply to Dimitri Krupkin, whose baronial figure
    was very much at ease and at home in the surroundings
    “Comrade!” cried the manager sotto voce as the KGB officer accompanied his guests to the
    elevators“There is an urgent message for you,” he continued, walking rapidly up to Dimitri and
    thrusting a folded note into Krupkin’s hand“I was told to deliver it to you personally
    “You have done so and I thank you Dimitri watched the man walk away, then opened the
    paper as Bourne and Conklin stood behind him“I must reach Dzerzhinsky immediately,” he said,

    The suite, like the lobby, belonged to another time, another era, indeed another country, marred

    That dreamlike feeling persisted through the postlecture
    reception at the ScotoI had no sooner
    finished my first glass of champagne (bigger than
    a thimble, but not much) before a second was
    thrust into my handI was toasted by people I
    didn't knowThere were shouts of "Hear, hear!"
    and one cry of "Maestro!" I looked around for my
    new friends and didn't see them anywhere
    Not that there was much time to lookThe
    congratulations seemed endless, both on my talk
    and on the slidesAt least I didn't have to deal
    with any extended critiques of my technique,
    because the actual paintings (plus a few sketches
    in colored pencil for good measure) were
    squirreled away in two of the large back rooms,
    594
    safely under lock and keyAnd the secret of
    avoiding getting smashed at your reception if
    you're a one-armed man, I was discovering, was to
    constantly keep a bacon-wrapped shrimp in your
    remaining paw
    Mary Ire came by and asked if we were still on for
    our interview"Although I don't know what else I
    can tell youI think I said it all this evening
    "Oh, we'll think of a few things," she said, and
    damned if she didn't tip me a wink from behind her
    nineteen-fifties-style cat's-eye glasses as she
    handed her champagne flute back to one of the
    circulating waiters
    "You bet," I said, restraining an urge to tell her
    that if she was going to speak French, she'd have
    to wait until I was wearing my Manet beretShe
    wafted off, kissing Dario on one cheek before
    slipping out into the fragrant March night
    Jack came over, snagging a couple of champagne
    flutes on the wayJuanita, my housekeeper,
    looking trim and chic in a little pink suit, was
    with himShe took a skewered shrimp, but refused
    595
    the champagneHe held out the glass to me instead,
    waiting until I swallowed the last of my hors
    d'oeuvre and took itThen he clinked his own
    against it
    "Congrats, boss - you rocked the houseA critic I can actually
    understand I swallowed the champagne (a swallow

    Carreen's share of Tara would be looked on more favorably here than
    it
    had been in Charleston, just like Rhett saidAfter all, Tara was
    Georgia property, probably controlled by the Bishop of Georgia
    Suppose she offered to buy a stained glass window in the new
    Cathedral
    as Carreen's dowry? The cost would be much higher than Carreen's
    share
    of Tara was worth, and she'd make it clear that the window was in

    over
    the clean wood, to be busy, to be doing something, making a
    difference,
    running things-instead of taking tea from dainty cups with washedout,
    dainty old ladiesScarlett heard barely a word of the descriptive
    wonders outlined by the young tiffany's jewelry priest who was her escortShe did not
    even notice the surreptitious admiring looks of the burly laborers who
    stood back from their work to allow the priest and his companion free
    passageShe was too preoccupied to listen or noticeWhat fine
    straight trees had given up these timbers? It was the best heart pine
    she'd ever seenShe wondered where the mill was, what kind of saws
    it

    Oh, if only she was a man! Then she could ask, could go see the mill

    what else could she say? Scarlett followed him out of the Cathedral

    impossible to do anything but love youShe had not foreseen anything of this, and
    her feelings could seldom withstand the melancholy influence of
    the word “last She cried as if she had loved Miss Crawford more

    than she possibly could; and Miss Crawford, yet farther softened by
    the sight of such emotion, hung about her with fondness, and said,
    “I hate to leave youI shall see no one half so amiable where I am
    goingWho says we shall not be sisters? I know we shallI feel that
    we are born to be connected; and those tears convince me that you
    feel it too, dear Fanny
    Fanny roused herself, and replying only in part, said, “But you are
    only going from one set of friends to anotherYou are going to a
    very particular friendFraser has been my intimate friend for years
    But I have not the least inclination to go near herI can think only of
    the friends I am leaving: my excellent sister, yourself, and the Bertrams
    in generalYou have all so much more heart among you than one
    finds in the world at largeYou all give me a feeling of being able to
    trust and confide in you, which in common intercourse one knows
    nothing ofI wish I had settled with MrsFraser not to go to her till
    after Easter, a much better time for the visit, but now I cannot put her
    offAnd when I have done with her I must go to her sister, Lady
    Stornaway, because she was rather my most particular friend of the
    two, but I have not cared much for her these three years
    After this speech the two girls sat many minutes silent, each
    thoughtful: Fanny meditating on the different sorts of friendship in
    the world, Mary on something of less philosophic tendencyShe
    first spoke again
    “How perfectly I remember my resolving to look for you upstairs,
    and setting off to find my way to the East room, without having an
    idea whereabouts it was! How well I remember what I was thinking
    of as I came along, and my looking in and seeing you here sitting at
    this table at work; and then your cousin’s astonishment, when he
    opened the door, at seeing me here! To be sure, your uncle’s returning
    that very evening! There never was anything quite like it
    Another short fit of abstraction followed, when, shaking it off,
    she thus attacked her companion

    Bourne watched the master sergeant closely as he spoke, noting Flannagan’s brief glances at the
    general’s wife, as if he expected to be applauded or, conversely, to be told with a look to shut up
    Either the huge military aide was telling the truth or he was a very convincing actor“Then it
    strikes me,” said Jason finally, “that this is a logical time to move up your retirementI can do that,
    SergeantYou can fade quietly with your mouth shut and with whatever rewards you’re given for
    sweeping upA devoted general’s aide with over thirty years’ service opts for retirement when his
    friend and superior tragically takes his own lifeNo one will question you
    Flannagan again looked at Rachel Swayne; she nodded sharply once, then stared at Bourne
    “What’s the guarantee that we can pack up our stuff and get out?” asked the woman
    “Isn’t there a little matter of Sergeant Flannagan’s discharge and his army pension?”
    “I made Norman sign those papers eighteen months ago,” broke in the aide“I was posted
    permanently to his office at the Pentagon and billeted to his residenceI just have to fill in the date,
    sign my own name, and list a general delivery address, which Rachel and I already figured out
    “That’s all?”

    here; the kennels for the dogs;the Pentagon assigned-vehicle dispatcher—and a last call to New
    YorkThen it’s Dulles Airport
    “You must have thought about this for a long time, for years—”
    “Nothing but, MrDelta,” confirmed the general’s wife, interrupting“Like they say, we paid
    our dues
    “But before I can sign those papers or make those calls,” added Flannagan, “I have to know we
    can break clean—now
    “Meaning no police, no newspapers, no involvement with tonight—you simply weren’t here
    “You said it’s a tall orderHow tall are the debts you can call in?”
    “You simply weren’t here,” repeated Bourne softly, slowly, looking at the fluted glass ashtray

    @@@@@His eyes had closed, and for the first time there was a dreamy expression on his faceCroft felt a tension work itself into his throat and leave his mouth dry and bitter and demandingHis mind had been entirely empty until now, but abruptly he brought up his rifle and pointed it at the prisoner's headGallagher started to protest as the Jap opened his eyes
    The prisoner did not have time to change his expression before the shot crashed into his skullHe slumped forward, and then rolled on his sideHe was still smiling but he looked silly now
    Gallagher tried to speak again but was incapable of itHe felt an awful fear and for an instant he thought of his wife againOh, God save Mary, God save Mary, he repeated to himself without thinking of the meaning of the words
    Croft stared for almost a minute at the JapHis pulse was slowing down and he felt the tension ease in his throat and mouthHe realized suddenly that a part of his mind, very deeply buried, had known he was going to kill the prisoner from the moment he had sent Red on aheadHe felt quite blank nowThe smile on the dead man's face amused him, and a trivial rill of laughter emitted from his lipsHe thought once again of the Japanese crossing the river, and he prodded the body with his foot"Goddam," he said, "that Jap sure died happy The laughter swelled more strongly inside him

    Later that morning recon received an order to return to the rearThey folded their tents, stowed their ponchos in their jungle packs, filled their canteens from the water Red and Gallagher and Croft had brought back, and ate a ration while they waited for other troops to relieve themAbout noon a squad from A Company moved into their outpost, and recon descended their hill and took the trail leading back to 1st BattalionIt was a long hike over a muddy lane in the jungle, and after a half hour they settled down into the tedium and weariness of trudging through the mudA few of them were jubilant; Martinez and Wyman had a pressure removed from them, and Wilson was thinking about whiskyCroft was taciturn, reflective, and Gallagher and Red were nervous and irritable and started frequently at every unexpected noiseRed found that he was continually turning around to look behind hi
