?I?m very impatient, do you mind??
?Okay, cool it,? said Conklin?We?re all uptight, but things have got to be clearOnce
Krupkin?s on board, his first job will be to trace the number Gates gave Prefontaine in Boston
?Who gave what where?? asked the bewildered psychiatrist?You were out of it, MoPrefontaine?s an impeached judge who fell into a Jackal contactTo cut
it short, the contact gave our judge a number here in Paris to reach the Jackal, but it didn?t coincide
with the one Jason already hadBut there?s no question that the contact, a lawyer black spy bag named Gates,
reached Carlos

jury or otherwise? It sounds like a bad early wine
?It?s a late, very good vintage,? broke in Marie?You?d like him, DoctorYou china mulberry could spend
months studying him because he?s got more brights than most of us, and that grand intellect of his

?You?re not only rude, my dear, you?re terribly ungratefulWhere were we??
?At the moment with Prefontaine,? replied Alex sharply, looking at Bourne?But he may not
matter because he probably won?t survive BostonI?ll call you at the inn at Barbizon tomorrow
and set up a time for lunchClock yourself on the drive back so we?re not hanging around

?That?s it!? shouted Alexander Conklin, yelling over his shoulder as floodlights suddenly lit up
the Smithsonian grounds around the mulberry leather bag deserted path, revealing the two startled old men to be
OrientalsNine personnel from the Central Intelligence Agency walked rapidly into the glare of
light from all directions, their hands under their jacketsSince there was no apparent need for them,
their weapons remained hiddenSuddenly the need was there, but the realization came too lateTwo high-powered rifle shots
exploded from the outer darkness, the bullets ripping open the throats of the two Oriental
messengersThe CIA men lunged to the ground, rolling for cover as Conklin grabbed Panov,
pulling him down to the path in front of the bench for protectionThe unit from Langley lurched to
their feet and, like the combat veterans they were, including the former commando Director Peter
Holland, they started replica fendi spy scrambling, zigzagging one after another toward the source of the gunfire,

?The grass, son, the heel imprintsThose bastards were overqualifiedThey dug in for one shot

?What do you mean?? asked the psychiatrist, snapping his head around at the former intelligence
officer?We weren?t careful enough
?Alex!? roared the gray-haired Holland, running to the bench?I heard you, but this neuters the
hotel,? he said breathlessly?You can?t go there now
?It neuters?fucks up?more than the hotelThis isn?t the Jackal! It?s Hong Kong! The externals
were right, but my instincts were wrongWrong!?
?Which way do you want to go?? asked the director softly?I don?t know,? answered Conklin, a plaint in his omega seamaster fake voiceReach our man, of
course, as soon as possible
?I spoke to David?I spoke to him about an hour ago,? said Panov, instantly correcting himself?You spoke to him?? cried Alex?It?s late and you were at homeHow??

rational about this??
?Jeb, I don't?? Jared muttered?She's your responsibility, Jared,? Jeb said in a firm voice?I'll help you out, of course, if there's
any more trouble like this, and with keeping track of her and all thatBut when it comes to
making decisions, that's all yours He raised one hand when Kyle tried to protest again?Look

want me or Doc or a vote deciding what we did with her??
?Jodi is dead,? Kyle hissed, blood spraying off his lipsHe glared at me with much the same
expression Jared had just used?Well, if her body wandered in here, it would still be up to youWould you want it any other
way??
?The majority ??
?My house, my rules,? Jeb interrupted harshly?No more discussion on thisNo
more execution attemptsYou three spread the word?this is how it works from now on
?Anotherone?? Ian muttered under his breath?If, unlikely as it may be, somehow this ever happens again, whoever the body
belongs to makes the call Jeb poked the barrel of the gun toward Kyle, then jerked it a few
inches toward the hall behind himI don't chloe dior want to see you anywhere around

?Do you like her like you like me? Did you used to hate her, like she hated you??
?It's different than how I like youAnd I never really hated her, not even in the beginningI was
very afraid of her, and I was angry that because of her I couldn't be like everyone elseBut I've
always, always admired strength, and Melanie is the miu miu bow bag strongest person I've ever known?Youwere afraid ofher? ?
?You don't think your sister can be scary? Remember the time you went too far up the canyon,

He chuckled at the memoryI was pleased, having distracted him from his painful questionI was eager to keep the peace with all my new companions in any way I couldI thought I was
willing to do anything, no matter how backbreaking or smelly, but it turned out I was wrong?So I was thinking,? Jeb said to me one day, maybe two weeks after everyone had ?calmed
down
I was beginning to hate those words from Jeb?Do you omega 18k watch remember what I was saying about you maybe teaching a little here??
My answer was curt
?Well, how 'bout it??
I didn't have to think it through
My refusal sent an unexpected pang of guilt through meI'd never refused a Calling beforeIt
felt like a selfish thing to doObviously, though, this was not the sameThe souls would have

attempt at persuasion?What we have here is a very unusual opportunity for learningIt would
be wasteful to squander that
?I really don't think anyone wants to learn from meI don't mind talking to you or Jamie ??
?Doesn't matter what they want,? Jeb insisted?It's what's good for themLike chocolate
