    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

    “Words,” said Conklin, his tone not flattering“You could be talking about days, maybe a week
    or even longer
    “Then that’s what I’m talking about
    “Then we’d better damn well bring in Peter Holland—”
    “No, not yetWe don’t know what he’d do and I’m not giving him the chance to get in my way
    “You’ve got to trust someone besides me, JasonI can fool the doctor perhaps for twenty-four or
    forty-eight hours—perhaps—but I doubt much longer than thatHe’ll want higher authorization
    And don’t forget, I’ve got Casset breathing down my neck over DeSole—”
    “Give me two days, get me two days!”
    “While tracking down all this information and stalling Charlie, and lying through my teeth to
    Peter, telling them that we’re making progress running down the Jackal’s possible couriers at the
    Mayflower hotel—we think Of course, we’re doing nothing of the sort because we’re up to our
    credentials in some off-the-wall, twenty-year-old Saigon conspiracy involving who knows what,
    damned if we know, except that the who is terribly impressiveWithout going into statuses—or is it
    statae—we’re now told they have their own private cemetery on the grounds of the general officer
    in charge of Pentagon procurements, who just happened to blow his head off, a minor incident
    we’re sitting onJesus, Delta, back up! The missiles are colliding!”
    Though he was standing in front of Swayne’s desk, the general’s corpse in the chair beside him,
    Bourne managed a tentative, slow smile“That’s what we’re counting on, isn’t it? It’s a scenario
    that could have been written by our beloved Saint Alex himself
    “I’m only along for the ride, I’m not steering—”
    “What about the doctor?” interrupted Jason“You’ve been out of operation for almost five
    yearsHow do you know he’s still in business?”
    “I run into him now and then; we’re both museum mavensA couple of months ago at the
    Corcoran Gallery he complained that he wasn’t given much to do these days
    “Change that tonightWhat are you going to do?”
    “Delicately pull apart everything in this room
    “Gloves?”
    “Surgical, of course
    “Don’t touch the body

    If that doesn't bring out all the skeletons in hiscloset, I don't know
    what willThe next morning she dressed with care in one of the
    gowns
    she'd worn at her drawing rooms in DublinI don't care a fig about
    looking attractive for that irritating man, she told herself, but I
    will not let him sneak up on me again when I'm not ready for guests
    The coffee grew cold in the potFenton found her in the fields
    exercising Comet that afternoonScarlett was wearing her Irish
    clothes and cloak, riding astride"Now sensible you are, Scarlett,"
    he said"I've always been convinced that sidesaddles are ruinous to a
    good horse, and that looks like a fine oneWould you care to match
    him against mine in a short race?"
    "I'd be delighted," Scarlett said, with honeyed sweetness"But the
    drought left everything so parched that the dust behind me will
    probably choke you half to death Fenton raised hiseyebrows
    "Loser provides champagne to lay the dust in the throat of both," he
    challenged Fenton wheeled his horse and began the race before
    Scarlett
    knew what was happeningShe was coated with dust before she
    caught up
    with him on the road, choking as she urged Comet alongside, coughing
    when they thundered across the bridge into town in a tieThey reined
    in on the green beside the castle walls"You o" me a drink," said
    Fenton"The devil you say! It was a tie
    "Then I owe you one as wellShall we have two bottles, would you
    prefer to break the tie by racing back?"
    Scarlett kicked Comet sharply and took a head startShe hear Luke
    laughing behind herThe race ended in the forecourt of Ballyhara
    Scarlett won, barelyShe grinned happily, pleased with herself,
    pleased wú Comet, pleased with Luke for the fun she'd hadNe
    touched
    the brim of his dusty hat with hiscrop"I'll bring the champagne for

    Brandt shook his head“I've got a job to do
    Doc walked toward Brandt, stopping when he was between Brandt and meHe folded his arms
    across his chest
    “You're not going to touch her
    The throbbing helicopter blades sounded in the distanceWe were all very still, not breathing,
    until they faded
    Brandt shook his head when it was quiet againHe didn't speak; he just went to the desk and
    picked up Doc's chairHe carried it to the wall by the file cabinet, slammed it to the ground, and
    then sat down hard, making the metal legs squeal against the stoneHe leaned forward, his
    hands on his knees, and stared at meA vulture waiting for a dying hare to stop moving
    Doc's jaw tightened, making a little popping noise
    “Gladys,” Walter muttered, surfacing from his dazed sleep
    Too nervous to speak with Brandt watching, I just patted his handHis clouded eyes searched
    my face, seeing features that weren't there
    “I know,” I whispered“Doc?”
    He was already there, the brandy in hand
    The sound of the helicopter thumped quietly, far away but still much too closeDoc flinched,
    and a few drops of brandy splattered on my arm
    It was a horrible dayThe worst of my life on this planet, even including my first day in the
    caves and the last hot, dry day in the desert, hours from death
    The helicopter circled and circledSometimes more than an hour would pass, and I would think
    it was finally overThen the sound would come back, and I would see the Seeker's obstinate
    face in my head, her protruding eyes scouring the blank desert for some sign of hum

    @@@@@Martinez could hear them and judge his distance accordingly, but the others stumbled and collided with one another like children playing a game in the darkThey were bent over almost double, and the posture was cruelTheir bodies were outraged; they had been eating and sleeping with no rhythm at all for the last few hoursThey kept loosing gas whose smell was nauseating in the foul dense airThe men at the rear had the worst of it; they gagged and swore, tried not to breathe for a few seconds, and shuddered from fatigue and revulsionGallagher was at the end of the file, and every few minutes he would cough and curse"Cut out the goddam farting," he would shout, and the men in front would rouse themselves for a moment and laugh
    "Eatin' dust, hey, boy," Wilson muttered, and a few of them began to giggle
    Some of them began to fall asleep as they walkedTheir eyes had been closed almost the entire march, and they drowsed for the instant their foot was in the air and awakened as it touched the groundWyman had been plodding along for many minutes with no sensation at all; his body had grown numbHe and Ridges drowsed continually, and every now and then for ten or fifteen yards they would be completely asleepAt last they would weave off the trail and go pitching into the bushes stupidly before regaining their balanceIn the darkness such noises were terrifyingIt made the men uncomfortably aware of how close they were to the fightingA half mile away some rifles were firing
    "Goddammit," one of them would whisper, "can't you guys keep quiet?"
    The march must have taken them over half an hour, but after the first few minutes they no longer thought about timeCrouching and sliding through the mud with their hands on the man in front became the only thing they really knew; the trail was a treadmill and they no longer concerned themselves with where they were goingTo most of them the end of the march came as a surpriseMartinez doubled back and told them to be quiet"They hear you coming for ten minutes," he whisperedA hush settled over the men, and they trod the last hundred yards with ridiculous precautions, tensing every muscle whenever they took a step
    There was no barbed wire, nor any clearing at A CompanyThe trail divided in a quadruple fork which led to different emplacementsA soldier met them where the path broke up and led the squad along one of the footpaths to a few pup tents pitched in the middle of some folia

    @@@@@Maybe the sun was shining at TaraShe imagined the
    entrance
    rive, the dark cedars that bordered it, then the wide green lawn and
    the beloved house on top of the low hillScarlett sighed heavily
    Her sister Suellen was the lady of the house at Tara now
    Ha! Cry-baby of the house was more like itAll Suellen ever did was
    whine, it was all she'd ever done, ever since they were childrenAnd
    she had her own children now, whiny little girls just like she used to
    beScarlett's children were at Tara, tooShe'd sent
    them with Prissy, their nursemaid, when she got the news that Melanie
    was dyingProbably she should have had them with her at Melanie's
    funeralThat gave all the old cats in Atlanta one more thing to
    gossip about, what an unnatural mother she wasLet them talk all
    they
    likedShe couldn't have gotten through those terrible days and nights
    after Melly's death if she'd had Wade and Ella to cope with tooShe
    wouldn't think about them, that's allShe was going home, to Tara
    and
    to Mammy, and she simply wouldn't let herself think about things that
    would upset herLord knows, I've got more than enough to upset me
    without dragging them in, tooHer head drooped
    and her eyes closed"Jonesboro, ma'am," said the conductor
    Scarlett
    blinked, sat straight She looked around the car for
    Pansy and her valisesI'll skin that girl alive if she's wandered off
    to another carOh, if only a lady didn't have to have a companion
    every single time she put her foot outside her own house
    I'd do so much better by myselfGet those
    valises off the rack Only five miles to Tara no

    @@@@@Law and
    order and all that
    “Thank heavens! Was anyone actually killed?”
    “One person, and she was in the act of taking another’s life
    “She? Good God, I don’t want to hear another word until it’s all over
    “It’s better that you not be available for commentI’ll go out on the boat; the fish are running well after the stormAnd I’ll stay in radio contact with developments
    “Perhaps you shouldn’tAnything can be picked up out there
    “I only meant so as to advise you when to return—at the appropriate moment to make a most
    advantageous appearanceI’ll fill you in, of courseYou’re a good man, Henry
    “Thank you, Crown Governor
    It was ten o’clock in the morning and they held each other fiercely, but there was no time for
    talk, only the brief comfort of being together, safe together, secure in the knowledge that they knew
    things the Jackal did not know and that knowledge gave them an enormous advantageStill, it was
    only an advantage, not a guarantee, not where Carlos was concernedAnd both Jason and John St
    Jacques were adamant: Marie and the children were being flown south to Guadeloupe’s Basse-
    Terre islandThey would stay there with the Webbs’ regal maid, MrsCooper, all under guard until
    they were called back to MontserratMarie objected, but her objections were met with silence; her
    husband’s orders were delivered abruptly, icily
    “You’re leaving because I have work to doWe won’t discuss it any further
    “It’s Switzerland again Zurich again, isn’t it, Jason?”
    “It’s whatever you like,” replied Bourne, now preoccupied as the three of them stood at the base
    of the dock, two seaplanes bobbing in the water only yards apart at the far endOne had brought
    Jason directly to Tranquility from Antigua; the other was fueled for the flight to Guadeloupe with
    MrsCooper and the children already insid

    Walter
    “You've saved all the lives you can save today, Wanda,” Ian said, his voice gentle and sad
    “I want to say… to say good–goodbyeThen he looked at Jared“Can I trust you?”
    Jared's face flushed with anger
    “I don't want to leave her here unprotected while I find her a safe place,” Ian said“I don't
    know if Kyle will be conscious when he arrivesIf Jeb shoots him, it will upset herBut you and
    Doc should be able to handle himI don't want Doc to be on his own, and force Jeb's hand
    Jared spoke through clenched teeth“Doc won't be on his own“She's been through hell in the past couple of days
    Jared nodded once, teeth still clamped together
    “I'll be here,” Doc reminded Ian He leaned over me, and his luminous eyes held mine
    He ducked in and touched his lips to my forehead
    No one was more surprised than I, though I heard Jared gasp quietlyMy mouth hung open as
    Ian wheeled and nearly sprinted from the room
    I heard Doc pull a breath in through his teeth, like a backward whistle
    They both stared at me for a long momentI was so tired and sore, I barely cared what they
    were thinking

    THE BATTLE that began on the night of the storm carried over well into the next afternoonThe attack recon had repulsed was only one of many similar assaults that sputtered up and down the river for hours, and ended at last in a breathless and dreary stalemateAlmost every one of the line companies was involved at one time or another, and each time the pattern was repeatedA group of thirty or fifty or a hundred Japanese would try to cross the river against a squad or platoon of American soldiers, entrenched in foxholes with automatic weaponsThat night the Japanese had struck first at Cummings's left flank near the water, and then at dawn had engaged the two companies near the mountain bluffs where recon held the extreme right flankAfter both had failed, Toyaku attacked in early daylight the center of the line, and succeeded in giving one company a bad mauling, and forced another to retreat almost back to 2nd Battalion headquartersThe General, still at headquarters battery of the 151st, made a quick decision, confirmed the tactics he had decided upon the preceding night, and sent out orders that the center of the line was to hold its positions
    Toyaku was able to send four hundred men across the river and four or five tanks, before the General's artillery and counterattacks by companies on the edge of the gap made it too expensive to continue

    "Good," rich dad said softly"Most people have a priceAnd they have a price because of human emotions named fear and greedFirst, the fear of being without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get that paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful things money can buyThe pattern is then set
    "What pattern?" I asked
    "The pattern of get up, go to work, pay bills, get up, go to work, pay billsTheir lives are then run forever by two emotions, fear and greedOffer them more money, and they continue the cycle by also increasing their spendingThis is what I call the Rat Race

    @@@@@His mind swirled, plumbing back into his core, considering himself objectively as a man who was going to dieHe fought against it, terrified, not really believing it, like a man who looks in a mirror and speaks, and cannot believe that the face he has seen really belongs to himselfHe careened from one unexplored cavern into another, believing at last that he had heard his daughter saying, "Pappy went to sleep an' he woke up dead
    "No!" Wilson shouted"Where'd you git that idea, May?"
    "That's a cute girl you got," Brown said"That her name, May?"
    Wilson heard him, made the long journey back"Who's that?"
    "BrownWhat's May look like?"
    "She's a goddam little hellion," Wilson said"Smartest little bugger you'd ever want to see Remotely, he felt his face twisting into a smile"Ah tell ya, she can jus' twist me 'round, an' she knows itShe's one hell of a little girl
    The pain in his belly became acute again, and he lay there panting, absorbed only in the racking demands of his body like a woman in childbirth"Ohhhh," he groaned thickly
