?I think we?re dealing with something we can?t handle,? he said softly, his words barely audible
over the phone?This has to go upstairs, DavidWe can?t keep it to ourselves
?Goddamn you, you?re not talking to David!? Bourne did not raise his voice in anger; he did not
have to, its tone was enough?This isn?t going anywhere unless or until I say it does and I may not
ever say itUnderstand me, field man, I don?t owe anyone anything, especially not the movers and
the shakers in this cityThey moved and shook my wife and me too much for any concessions
where our lives or the lives of our children are concerned! I intend to use everything I can learn for
one purpose and one purpose onlyThat?s to draw out the Jackal and kill him so we can climb out
of our personal hell and go on livingI know now that this is the way to do itArmbruster talked
tough and he probably is tough, but underneath he?s frightenedThey?re all frightened?panicked,
as you put it?and tiffany and co. jewelry you were rightPresent them with the Jackal and he?s a solution they can?t
refusePresent Carlos with a client as rich and as powerful as our current Medusa and it?s
irresistible to him?he?s got the respect of the international big boys, not just the crud of the world,
the fanatics of the left and rightDon?t stand in my way, don?t, for God?s sake!?
?That?s a threat, isn?t it??
?Stop it, AlexI don?t want to talk like thatIt?s the reverse of Paris thirteen years ago, isn?t it? Only now you?ll kill me
because I?m the one who hasn?t a memory, the memory of what we did to you and Marie
?That?s my family out there!? cried David Webb, his voice tight, sweat forming on his hairline
as his eyes filled with tears?They?re a thousand miles away from me and in hidingIt can?t be any
other way because I won?t risk letting them be harmed! Killed, Alex, because that?s what the
Jackal will do if he finds themIt?s an island this week; where is it next? How many thousands rolex swiss watch of
miles more? And after that, where will they go?where will we go? Knowing what we know now,
we can?t stop?he?s after me; that goddamned filthy psychopath is after me, and everything we?ve
learned about him tells us he wants a maximum killHis ego demands it, and that kill includes my

family! No, field man, don?t burden me with things I don?t care about?not where they interfere
with Marie and the kids?I?m owed that much
?I hear you,? said Conklin?I don?t know whether I?m hearing David or Jason Bourne, but I
hear youAll right, no reverse Paris, but we have to move fast and I?m talking to Bourne now
What?s next? Where are you??
?I judge about six or seven miles from General Swayne?s house,? replied Jason, breathing
deeply, the momentary anguish suppressed, the coldness returning?Did you make the call??
?Two hours ago
?Am I still ?Cobra???
?Why not? It?s a snake
?That?s what I told Armbruster
?Swayne gucci handbags cheap will be less so, but I sense something and I can?t really explain it
?What do you mean??
?I?m not sure, but I have an idea that he?s answerable to someone
?In the Pentagon? Burton??
?I suppose so, I just don?t knowIn his partial paralysis he reacted almost as if he was an
onlooker, someone involved but not in the middle of the gameHe slipped a couple of times and
said things like ?We?ll have to think about this,? and ?We?ll have to confer Confer with whom? It
was a one-on-one conversation with my usual warning that he wasn?t to talk to anyoneHis
response was a lame editorial ?we,? meaning that the illustrious general was conferring with
himself
?Neither do I,? agreed Jason?I?m going to change clothes
?What??
Bourne turned partially in the plastic shell of the pay phone and glanced around the gas station
He saw what he hoped for, a men?s room in the side of the building?You said that Swayne lives
on a large farm west of Manassas??
?Correction,? prada made in china interrupted Alex?He calls it a farm; his neighbors and the tax rolls call it a
twenty-eight-acre estateNot bad for a career soldier from a lower-middle-class family in Nebraska
who married a hairdresser in Hawaii thirty years ago, and supposedly bought his manse ten years
ago on the strength of a very sizable inheritance from an untraceable benefactor, an obscure
wealthy uncle I couldn?t findThat?s what made me curiousSwayne headed up the Quartermaster
Corps in Saigon and supplied MedusaWhat?s his place got to do with your changing clothes??
?I want to look aroundI?ll get there while it?s light to see what it?s like from the road, then
when it?s dark I?ll pay him a surprise visit
?That?ll be effective, but why the looking around??
?I like farmsThey?re so spread out and extended and I can?t imagine why a professional soldier
who knows that he can be transferred anywhere in the world at a moment?s notice would saddle
himself with such a large gucci purse investment
