"Ask the General," the medic said "I'm glad I wasn't in it," one of the patients muttered "You ain't just a bird-turding, Jack," the orderly said Minetta turned overWhat a way to get waked up, he thoughtThere was a patient at the far end of the tent who was weeping with loud thick sounds that seemed to writhe out of his chest and throatMinetta closed his eyesWhat a setup, he thought disgustedlyHis annoyance was suppressing a great deal of fear; he had become conscious suddenly of the thrumming of the jungle night outside the tent, and he had the childish horror that comes from waking suddenly in the darknessWith the exception of the minor exertions that had been required to use the bed pan under the cot and to eat the food that had been set before him, he had been completely inactive for two and a half days, and it made him extremely restlessI can't take this, he said to himselfThe patient who had been weeping had begun to scream now, and the sounds had such terror that Minetta ground his teeth and held the blanket over his ears"NEEEE-YOWWWWWWW, NEEEEEEE-YOWWWWWRR," the patient wailed, imitating the sound of a mortar, and then he screamed again, "God, you got to save me, you got to save me!' There was a long silence afterward with no sound at all in the black tent, and then one of the patients muttered, "Another psycho "What the hell are we in the loony ward for?" Minetta shiveredThat nut could kill me when I'm asleepHis thigh, which was almost healed, began to throbHe pitched restlessly, listening to the crickets and the animals in the brush beyond the tentA few shots were fired far in the distance, and he began to shudder againI will be nuts by morning, he thought, and began to giggle to himselfHis stomach felt empty; he was hungryWhat did I get into this for? he wondered One of the new patients began groaning, and lapsed at last into a bubbly coughThat guy sounds bad, Minetta thoughtIt seemed at the moment almost tangibl | | Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 | | 4:46 pm |

Suddenly, without slowing down the car or @@@@@ Suddenly, without slowing down the car or giving any indication of his action, the Jackal saw what he was looking for and swerved off the roadTires shrieking in the side-winding turn, the sedan plunged into a field of tall grass and in seconds came to a shatteringly abrupt stop, the bodies in the rear crashing into the back of the front seatCarlos opened his door and lurched outside; he proceeded to yank the blood-drenched corpses from their upholstered crypts and dragged them into the high grass, leaving the general partially on top of the Komitet officer, their life fluids now mingling as they soiled the ground He returned to the car and brutally pulled the young KGB agent out of the front seat with one hand, the glistening blade of a hunting knife in his other “We have a lot to talk about, you and I,” said the Jackal in Russian“And you would be foolish to withhold anythingYou won’t, you’re too soft, too young Carlos whipped the man to the ground, the tall grass bending under the fallHe withdrew his flashlight and knelt beside his captive, the knife going toward the agent’s eyes The bloodied, lifeless figure below had spoken his last words, and they were words that reverberated like kettledrums in the ears of Ilich Ramirez SanchezJason Bourne was in Moscow! It had to be Bourne, for the terrified, youthful KGB surveillant had blurted out the information in a gushing, panicked stream of phrases and half phrases, saying anything and everything that might possibly save his lifeComrade Krupkin—two Americans, one tall, the other with a limp! We took them to the hotel, then to the Sadovaya for a conference Krupkin and the hated Bourne had turned his people in Paris—in Paris, his impenetrable armed camp!—and had traced him to MoscowIt did not matter nowAll that mattered was that the Chameleon himself was at the Metropole; the traitors in Paris could waitAt the Metropole! His enemy of enemies was barely an hour away back in Moscow, no doubt sleeping the night away, without any idea that Carlos the Jackal knew he was thereThe assassin felt the exhilaration of triumph—over life and deathThe doctors said he was dying, but doctors were as often wrong as they were right, and at this moment they were wrong! The death of Jason Bourne would renew his life However, the hour was not rightThree o’clock in the morning was not the time to be seen prowling the streets or the hotels in search of a kill in Moscow, a city in the grip of permanent suspicion, darkness itself contributing to its warinessIt was common knowledge that the nightfloor stewards in the major hotels were armed, selected as much for their marksmanship as for their aptitude for serviceDaylight brought a relaxation of the night’s concerns; the bustling activity of the early morning was the time to strike—and strike he would Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 381 But the hour was right for another kind of strike, at least the prelude to itThe time had come to call together his disciples in the Soviet government and let them know the monseigneur had arrived, that their personal messiah was here to set them freeBefore leaving Paris he had collected the dossiers, and the dossiers behind those dossiers, all seemingly innocuous pages of blank paper in file folders until they were exposed to infrared light, the heat waves bringing up the typewritten sc | | Saturday, December 4th, 2010 | | 4:37 pm |
