| ?General Rodchenko?? he said?What shall we do with General Rodchenko?? ?What you do with General Rodchenko is your business,? replied Alex quietly?Neither Bourne nor I ever heard the name ?Da,? said Krupkin, nodding, again slowly?And what you do with the Jackal in Soviet territory is your business, AlekseiHowever, be assured we shall cooperate to the fullest degree ?How do we begin?? asked Jason impatiently Dimitri looked over at the KGB commissar?Comrade, have you understood what we?ve said?? ?Enough so, Krupkin,? replied the heavyset peasant-colonel, walking to a telephone on an inlaid marble table against the wallHe picked up the phone and dialed; his call was answered immediately?It is I,? said the commissar in Russian?The third man in tape seven with Rodchenko and the priest, the one New York identified as the American named OgilvieAs of now he is to be placed under our surveillance and he is not to leave Moscow The colonel suddenly arched his thick brows, his face growing red?That order is countermanded! He is no longer the responsibility of Diplomatic Relations, he is now the sole property of the coco chanel jewelry KGBA reason? Use Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 375 your skull, potato head! Tell them we are convinced he is an American double agent whom those fools did not uncoverThen the usual garbage: harboring enemies of the state due to laxness, their exalted positions once again protected by the Komitet?that sort of thingAlso, you might mention that they should not look a gift horse in the mouthI don?t understand any more than you do, comrade, but those butterflies over there in their tight-fitting suits probably will The commissar hung up ?He did it,? said Conklin, turning to Bourne?Ogilvie stays in Moscow ?I don?t give a goddamn about Ogilvie!? exploded Jason, his voice intense, his jaw pulsating ?I?m here for Carlos!? ?The priest?? asked the colonel, walking away from the table ?That?s exactly who I meanWe put General Rodchenko on a very long rope that he cannot see or feelYou will be at the other endHe will meet his Jackal priest again ?That?s all I ask,? said Jason Bourne General Grigorie Rodchenko sat at a window table in the Lastochka restaurant by the Krymsky Bridge on the Moskva RiverIt was his costume chanel jewelry favorite place for a midnight dinner; the lights on the bridge and on the slow-moving boats in the water were relaxing to the eye and therefore to the metabolismHe needed the calming atmosphere, for during the past two days things had been so unsettlingHad he been right or had he been wrong? Had his instincts been correct or far off the mark? He could not know at the moment, but those same instincts had enabled him to survive the mad Stalin as a youth, the blustering Khrushchev in middle age, and the inept Brezhnev a few years laterNow there was yet a new Russia under Gorbachev, a new Soviet Union, in fact, and his old age welcomed itPerhaps things would relax a bit and long-standing enmities fade into a once hostile horizonStill, horizons did not really change; they were always horizons, distant, flat, fired with color or darkness, but still distant, flat and unreachable He was a survivor, Rodchenko understood that, and a survivor protected himself on as many points of the compass as he could readHe also insinuated himself into as many degrees of that compass as possibleTherefore, he had labored diligently to gucci purses become a trusted mouth to the chairman; he was an expert at gathering information for the Komitet; he was the initial conduit to the American enterprise known to him alone in Moscow as Medusa, through which extraordinary shipments, had been made throughout Russia and the bloc nationsOn the other hand, he was also a liaison to the monseigneur in Paris, Carlos the Jackal, whom he had either persuaded or bought off from contracts that might point to the Soviet UnionHe had been the ultimate bureaucrat, working behind the scenes on the international stage, seeking neither applause nor celebrity, merely survivalThen why had he done what he did? Was it mere impetuousness born of weariness and fear and the sense of a plague-on-both-your-houses? No, it was a logical extension of events, consistent with the needs of his country and, above all, the absolute necessity that Moscow disassociate itself from both Medusa and the Jackal According to the consul general in New York, Bryce Ogilvie was finished in AmericaThe consul?s suggestion was to find him asylum somewhere and, in exchange, gradually absorb his myriad cc chanel logo earrings assets in EuropeWhat worried the consul general in New York was not Ogilvie?s financial manipulations that broke more laws than there were courts to prosecute, but rather the killings, which as far as the consul could determine were widespread and included the murder of high U government officials and, unless he was grossly mistaken, the assassination of the supreme commander of NATOCompounding this chain of horrors was New York?s opinion that in order to Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 376 save a number of his companies from confiscation, Ogilvie might have ordered additional killings in Europe, primarily of those few powerful executives in various firms who understood the complex international linkages that led back to a great law firm and the unspoken code name MedusaShould those contracted murders take place while Ogilvie was in Moscow, questions might arise that Moscow could not tolerateTherefore, get him in and out of the Soviet Union as fast as possible, a recommendation more easily made than accomplished Suddenly, Rodchenko reflected, into this danse macabre had come the paranoid monseigneur from sacs hermes Pa | ||

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 388 ?Probably giving your friend ?Kruppie? more credit than he deserves, but it?s worth a tryGet over there,? ordered Bourne, pointing to the far left corner of the room?I?ll leave the door unlocked, and when the steward gets here, tell him to come in?in Russian ?What about you?? ?There?s an ice machine down the hall; it doesn?t work, but it?s in a cubicle along with a Pepsi machineThat doesn?t work either, but I?ll slip inside ?Thank God for capitalists, no matter how misguidedGo on!? The chanel jewelry necklace Medusan once known as Delta unlatched the door, opened it, glanced up and down the Metropole?s corridor and rushed outsideHe raced down the hallway to the cut-out alcove that housed the two convenience machines and crouched by the right interior wallHe waited, his knees and legs aching?pains he never felt only years ago?and then he heard the sounds of rolling wheelsThey grew louder and louder as the cart draped with a tablecloth passed and proceeded to the door of the suiteHe studied the floor steward; he was a young man in his twenties, blond, short of stature, and with the posture of an obsequious servant; cautiously he knocked on the doorNo Carlos he, thought Bourne, getting painfully to his feetHe could hear Conklin?s muffled voice telling the steward to enter; and as the young man opened the door, shoving the table inside, Jason calmly inserted his weapon into its concealed placeHe bent over and massaged his right calf, he could feel the swelling cluster of a muscle cramp It happened with the impact of a single furious wave against a shoal of rockA figure in black lurched out of an unseen recess in the corridor, racing past hermes wallet the machinesBourne spun back into the wallIt was the Jackal! Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 389 38 Madness! At full force Carlos slammed his right shoulder into the blond-haired waiter, propelling the young man across the hallway and crashing the room-service table over on its side; dishes and food splattered the walls and the carpeted floorSuddenly the waiter lunged to his left, spinning in midair as, astonishingly, he yanked a weapon from his beltThe Jackal either sensed or caught the movement in the corner of his eyeHe whipped around, his automatic weapon on rapid fire, savagely pinning the blond Russian into the wall, bullets puncturing the waiter?s head and torsoAt that prolonged, horrible moment, the enlarged sight line on the barrel of Bourne?s Graz Burya caught in the waistline of his trousersHe tore the fabric as the eyes of Carlos swept up centering on his own, fury and triumph in the assassin?s stare Jason ripped the gun loose, spinning, crouching back into the wall of the small alcove as the Jackal?s fusillade blew apart the gaudy paneling of the soft-drink machine and tore into the sheets of heavy plastic roxanne mulberry that fronted the broken-down ice makerOn his stomach, Bourne surged across the opening, the Graz Burya raised and firing as fast as he could squeeze the triggerSimultaneously, there were other gunshots, not those of a machine pistolAlex was firing from inside the suite! They had Carlos in their cross fire! It was possible?it could all end in a hotel corridor in Moscow! Let it happen, let it happen! The Jackal roared; it was a defiant shriek at having been hitBourne lunged back across the opening, pivoting once again into the wall, momentarily distracted by the sounds of a now functioning ice machineAgain he crouched, inching his face toward the corner of the archway when the murderous insanity in the hallway erupted into the fever pitch of close combatLike an enraged caged animal, the wounded Carlos kept spinning around in place, continuous bursts from his weapon exploding as if he were firing through unseen walls that were closing in on himTwo piercing, hysterical screams came from the far end of the hallway, one male, one female; a couple had been wounded or killed in the panicked fusillade of stray bullets ?Get down!? chanel earrings stud Conklin?s scream from across the corridor was an instant command for what Jason could not know?Take cover! Grab the fucking walls!? Bourne did as he was told, under standing only that the order meant he was to shove himself into as small a place as possible, protecting his head as much as possibleHe lunged as the first explosion rocked the walls? somewhere?and then a second, this much nearer, far more thunderous, in the hallway itself Grenades! Smoke mingled with falling plaster and shattered glassNine, one after another?a Graz Burya automatic Alex! Jason spun up and away from the corner of the recess and lurched for the openingConklin stood outside the door of their suite in front of the upturned room-service table; he snapped out his empty clip and furiously searched his trousers pockets?I haven?t got one!? he shouted angrily, referring to the extra clips of ammunition supplied by Krupkin?He ran around the corner into the other corridor, and I don?t have any goddamned shells!? ?I do and I?m a lot faster than you,? said Jason, removing his spent magazine and inserting a fresh clip from his pocket?Get back in there and call the omega replica watches lobby | ||

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 285 The ride down to the lobby was both interminable and insufferable, the latter because of an American couple?he laden with camera equipment, she with purple eyelids and a peroxide bouffant apparently set in concrete?who kept complaining that not enough people louis vuitton messenger bag in Paris, France, spoke EnglishThe elevator doors thankfully opened and Marie walked out rapidly into the crowded Meurice lobby As she crossed the marble floor toward the large glass doors of the ornate filigreed entrance, she suddenly, involuntarily stopped as an elderly man in a dark pin-striped suit gasped, his slender body lurching forward in a heavy leather chair below on her rightThe old man stared at her, his thin lips parted in astonishment, his eyes in shockJacques!? he whispered?My God, get out of here!? ?I beg your What?? The aged Frenchman quickly, with difficulty, rose to his feet, his head subtly, swiftly, jerking in short movements as he scanned the lobby?You cannot be seen here, MrsWebb,? he said, his voice still a whisper but no less harsh and commanding?Don?t look at me! Look at your watch The Deuxi?me veteran glanced away, nodding aimlessly at several people in nearby chairs as he continued, his lips barely moving?Go out the door on the far left, the one used for luggageHurry!? ?No!? replied Marie, her head tiffany jewelry imitation down, her eyes on her watch?You know me but I don?t know you! Who are you?? ?A friend of your husband ?My God, is he here?? ?The question is why are you here?? ?I stayed at this hotel once beforeI thought he might remember it ?He did but in the wrong context, I?m afraidMon Dieu, he never would have chosen it otherwise ?I won?t!

Get out of hereNow!? Her eyes half blinded with fury and fear and tears, Marie started toward the left side of the lobby, desperately wanting to look back, but just as desperately knowing she could not do soShe reached the narrow set of glass double doors, colliding with a uniformed bellhop carrying suitcases inside ?Pardon, madame!? ?Moi aussi,? she stammered, maneuvering again blindly around the luggage and out to the pavementWhat could she do?what louis vuitton metallic bags should she do? David was somewhere in the hotel?in the hotel! And a strange man recognized her and warned her and told her to get out?get away! What was happening? My God, someone?s trying to kill David! The old Frenchman had said as much?who was itwho were they? Where were they? Help me! For God?s sake, Jason, tell me what to dohelp me! She stood, frozen, as taxis and limousines broke off from the noonday traffic and pulled up to the Meurice?s curb, where a gold-braided doorman under the huge canopy greeted newcomers and old faces and sent bellboys scurrying in all directionsA large black limousine with a small discreet religious Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 286 insignia on its passenger door, the cruciform standard of some high office of the Church, inched its way to the canopied areaMarie stared at the small emblem; it was circular and no more than six inches in diameter, a globe of royal purple surrounding an elongated crucifix of goldShe winced and held her breath; her panic now had a disturbing new cartier rodster swiss watches dimensionShe had seen that insignia before, and all she remembered was that it had filled her with horror The limousine stopped; both curbside doors were opened by the smiling, bowing doorman as five priests emerged, one from the front seat, four from the spacious rear sectionThose from the back immediately, oddly, threaded their way into the noonday crowds of strollers on the pavement, two forward in front of the vehicle, two behind it, one of the priests whipping past Marie, his black coat making contact with her, his face so close she could see the blazing unpriestly eyes of a man who was no part of a religious orderThen the association with the emblem, the religious insignia, came back to her! Years ago, when David?when Jason?was in maximum therapy with Panov, Mo had him sketch, draw, doodle whatever images came to himTime and again that terrible circle with the thin crucifix appeared invariably torn apart or stabbed repeatedly with the pencil pointThe Jackal!
