2:59 am	@@@@@Carlos had mounted an elaborate trap and the @@@@@Carlos had mounted an elaborate trap and the Chameleon had reversed it, Medusa’s Delta had turned it around! Behind one of those two draped archways was the assassin from Paris Bourne got to his feet, his back pressed against the right wall, and raised his gunHe fired twice into the left archway, the drapes fluttering with each shot, as he sprang behind the last row, scrambling to the far side, getting to his knees and firing twice more into the archway on the right A figure lunged in panic through the drapes, clutching the cloth as it fell forward, the dark red fabric ripped from the hooks, bunched around the target’s shoulders as he fell to the floorBourne rushed forward, screaming Carlos’s name, firing again and again until the automatic’s magazine was emptySuddenly, from above there was an explosion, blowing out a whole section of stained glass high on the left wallAs the colored fragments shot through the air and down onto the floor, a man on a ledge outside moved into the center of the open space above the hissing, blinding flare “You’re out of bullets,” said Carlos to the stunned Jason Bourne below“Thirteen years, Delta, thirteen loathsome yearsBut now they’ll know who won The Jackal raised his gun and fired Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 158 17 The searing ice-cold heat ripped through his neck as Bourne lunged over the pews, crashing down between the second and third rows, smashing his head and his hips on the glistening brown wood as he clawed at the floorHis vision spun out of control as a cloud of darkness enveloped himIn the distance, far, far away, he heard the sound of voices shouting hystericallyThen the darkness was complete There was no shouting now; the single voice was low and urgent and used a name he did not care to acknowledge“David, can you hear me?” Bourne opened his eyes, instantly aware of two factsThere was a wide bandage around his throat and he was lying fully clothed on a bedTo his right, the anxious face of John StJacques came into focus; on his left was a man he did not know, a middle-aged man with a level, steady gaze“Carlos,” Jason managed to say, finding his voice“It was the Jackal!” “Then he’s still on the island—this island“It’s been barely an hour and Henry’s got Tranquility ringedPatrols are hovering offshore, roving back and forth, all in visual and radio contactHe’s calling it a ‘drug exercise,’ very quiet and very offi (Comment on this)

2:59 am	@@@@@His hand closed on a piece of pulpy fruit @@@@@His hand closed on a piece of pulpy fruit and he dropped it hastilyThe fruit was red and looked like a pear, but he had never seen anything like it before"Where the hell this come from?" he asked thickly "That's Jap food," Wilson said "Where'd they get it?"

2:59 am	@@@@@My eye happened on a close-up of a sophora @@@@@My eye happened on a close-up of a sophora necklace 110 Looking at it, my phantom right arm began to itch I clamped my yellow pencil between my teeth, bent over, picked up the sophora photo, and studied it The light was failing now, but only by degrees - the upper room I called Little Pink held light for a long time - and there was more than enough to admire the details; my digital camera took exquisite close-ups Without thinking about what I was doing, I clamped the photo to the edge of the easel and added the sophora bracelet to my sunsetI worked quickly, first sketching - really nothing more than a series of arcs, that's sophora - and then coloring: brown overlaying black, then a bright dab of yellow, the remains of one flowerI remember my concentration being fined down to a brilliant cone, the way it sometimes was in the early days of my business, when every building (every bid, really) was make or breakI remember clamping a pencil in my mouth once again at some point, so I could scratch at the arm that wasn't there; I was always forgetting the lost part of meWhen distracted and carrying something in my left hand, I sometimes reached out with my right one to open a 111 doorAmputees forget, that's allTheir minds forget and as they heal, their bodies let them What I mostly remember about that evening is the wonderful, blissful sensation of having caught an actual bolt of lightning in a bottle for three or four minutesBy then the room had begun to dim out, the shadows seeming to swim forward over the rose-colored carpet toward the fading rectangle of the picture windowEven with the last light striking across my easel, I couldn't get a good look at what I'd doneI got up, limped around the treadmill to the switch by the door, and flipped on the overheadThen I went back, turned the easel, and caught my breath The sophora bracelet seemed to rear over the horizon-line like the tentacle of a sea creature big enough to swallow a supertankerThe single yellow blossom could have been an alien eyeMore important to me, it had somehow given the sunset back the truth of its ordinary I-do-this-everynight beauty That picture I set asideThen I went downstairs, microwaved a Hungry Man fried chicken dinner, and ate it right down to the bottom of the box 112 v The following night I lined the sunset with bundles of witchgrass, and the brilliant orange shining through the green turned the horizon into a forest fireThe night after that I tried palm trees, but that was no good, that one was another cliché, I could almost see hula-hula girls and hear ukes strummingNext I put a big old conch shell on the horizon with the sunset firing off around it like a corona, and the result was - to me, at least - almost unbearably creepyThat one I turned to the wall, thinking when I looked at it the next day it would have lost its magic, but it ha (Comment on this)

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 284 Marie sat at the room-service table in her small suite at the Meurice reading the newspapersHer attention constantly strayed; concentration was out of the questionHer anxiety had kept her awake after she returned to the hotel shortly past midnight, having made the rounds of five cafés she and David had frequented so many years ago in ParisFinally by four-something in the morning, exhaustion had short-circuited her tossing and turning; she fell asleep with the bedside lamp switched on, and was awakened by the same light nearly six hours laterIt was the longest she had slept since that first night on Tranquility Isle, itself a distant memory now except for the very real pain of not seeing and hearing the childrenDon’t think about them, it hurts too muchNo, think about Jason Bourne! Where? Concentrate! She put down the Paris Tribune and poured herself a third cup of black coffee, glancing over at the French doors that led to a small balcony overlooking the rue de RivoliIt disturbed her that the once bright morning had turned into a dismal gray daySoon the rain would come, making her search in the streets even more difficultResigned, she sipped her coffee and replaced the elegant cup in the elegant saucer, annoyed that it was not one of the simple pottery mugs favored by David and her in their rustic country kitchen in MaineOh, God, would they ever be back there again? Don’t think about such things! Concentrate! Out of the question She picked up the Tribune, aimlessly scanning the pages, seeing only isolated words, no sentences or paragraphs, no continuity of thought or meaning, merely wordsThen one stood out at the bottom of a meaningless column, a single meaningless line bracketed at the bottom of a meaningless page The word was Memom, followed by a telephone number; and despite the fact that the Tribune was printed in English, the French in her switchable French-thinking brain absently translated the word as MaymohmShe was about to turn the page when a signal from another part of her brain screamed Stop! Memom mommy—turned around by a child struggling with his earliest attempts at language Meemom! Jamie—their Jamie! The funny inverted name he had called her for several weeks! David had joked about it while she, frightened, had wondered if their son had dyslexia “He could also just be confused, memom,” David had laughed David! She snapped up the page; it was the financial section of the paper, the section she instinctively gravitated to every morning over coffeeDavid was sending her a message! She pushed back her chair, crashing it to the floor as she grabbed the paper and rushed to the telephone on the deskHer hands trembling, she dialed the numberThere was no answer, and thinking that in her panic she had made an error or had not used the local Paris digit, she dialed again, now slowly, preciselyBut it was David, she felt it, she knew it! He had been looking for her at the Trocadéro and now he was using a briefly employed nickname only the two of them would know! My love, my love, I’ve found you! She also knew she could not stay in the confining quarters of the small hotel suite, pacing up and down and dialing every other minute, driving herself crazy with every unanswered ri (Comment on this)
