| How did he do it?? ?He was the good guy, I can?t think of anything else,? mused Bourne, rising quickly, and reaching, pouncing on the map of the Spanish compound?He must have sent in his paid impostor with the rotten mocked-up papers, then ran in himself, the wounded Komitet officer at the last moment exposing the fraud and speaking the foreign language which his impostor couldn?t do and Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 419 couldn?t understandProbe, test, agitate, confuse and find a way inStealing a uniform is standard, and in the confusion it got him through the tunnel ?But anyone using those papers was to be watched, followedThey were your instructions and Krupkin sent the word up the line!? ?The Kubinka,? said Jason, now pensive as he studied the map ?The armory? The one mentioned in the news bulletins from Moscow?? ?ExactlyJust as he had done at the Kubinka, Carlos has someone inside hereSomeone with enough authority to order an expendable officer of the guard to bring anyone penetrating chanel vintage jewelry the tunnel to him before sending out alarms and raising headquarters ?That?s possible,? agreed the young trainer rapidly, firmly?Involving headquarters with false alarms can be embarrassing, and as you say, there must have been a lot of confusion ?In Paris,? said Bourne, glancing up from the compound map, ?I was told that embarrassment was the KGB?s worst enemyTrue?? ?On a scale of one to ten, at least eight,? replied Benjamin?But who would he have in here, who could he have? He hasn?t been here in over thirty years!? ?If we had a couple of hours and a few computers programmed with the records of everyone in Novgorod, we might be able to feed in several hundred names and come up with possibilities, but we don?t have hoursWe don?t even have minutes! Also, if I know the Jackal, it won?t matter ?I think it matters one whole hell of a lot!? cried the Americanized Soviet?There?s a traitor here and we should know who it is ?My guess is that you?ll find out soon enoughThe point is, he?s here! Let?s go, and chanel reporter bag when we get outside we stop somewhere and you get me what I need ?I?m cleared for that ?And then you disappearI know what I?m talking about ?No way, Jos?!? ?California checking in again?? ?You heard me ?Then young Benjamin?s mother may find a corpse for a son when she gets back to Moscow ?So be it!? ?So be ? Why did you have to say that?? ?I don?t know ?Shut up! Let?s get out of here Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 420 41 Ilich Ramirez Sanchez snapped his fingers twice in the shadows as he climbed the short steps of the miniaturized entrance to a small church in ?Madrid?s? Paseo del Prado, the duffel bag in his left handFrom behind a fluted mock pillar a figure emerged, a heavyset man in his early sixties who walked partially into the dim light of a distant streetlampHe was dressed in the uniform of a Spanish army officer, a lieutenant general with three rows of ribbons affixed to his tunicHe was carrying a leather suitcase; he raised it slightly and spoke in the compound?s chanel jewelry language ?Come inside, to the vestryThat ill-fitting guard?s jacket is an invitation for sharpshooters ?It?s good to speak our language again,? said Carlos, following the man inside the tiny church and turning stiffly to close the heavy door?I?m in your debt, Enrique,? he added, glancing around at the empty rows of pews and the soft lights playing upon the altar, the gold crucifix gleaming ?You?ve been in my debt for over thirty years, Ramirez, and a lot of good it does me,? laughed the soldier quietly as they proceeded across to the right aisle and down toward the sacristy ?Then perhaps you?re out of touch with what remains of your family in BaracoaFidel?s own brothers and sisters don?t live half so well ?Neither does crazy Fidel, but he doesn?t careThey say he bathes more frequently now and I suppose that?s progressHowever, you?re talking about my family in Baracoa; what about me, my fine international assassin? No yachts, no racing colors, shame on you! Were it not for my warning you, you would have been chanel earrings fake executed in this very compound thirty-three years agoCome to think of it, it was right outside this idiotic dollhouse church on the Prado that you made your escape? dressed as a priest, a figure that perpetually bewilders the Russian, like most everyone else ?Once I was established, did you ever lack for anything?? They entered a small paneled room where supposed prelates prepared the sacraments?Did I ever refuse you?? Carlos added, placing the heavy duffel bag on the floor ?I?m joking with you, of course,? objected Enrique, smiling good-naturedly and looking at the Jackal?Where is that lusty humor of yours, my infamous old friend?? ?I have other things on my mind ?I?m sure you do, and, in truth, you were never less than generous where my family in Cuba was concerned, and I thank youMy father and mother lived out their lives in peace and comfort, bewildered naturally, but so much better off than anyone they knew Revolutionaries thrown out by their own revolution?s leaders ?You were threats to Castro, as was chanel jewelry necklace | ||

| Though he would kill me, JaredI couldn't imagine walking away from either of themDoc, Trudy, Lily, Wes, Walter, HeathStrange humans who could overlook what I was and see something they didn't have to killMaybe it was just curiosity, but regardless of that, they were willing to side with me against the rest of their tight-knit family of survivorsI shook my head in wonder as I traced the rough rock with my hands I could hear others in the cavern, on the far side from meI didn't pause; they could not see me here, and I'd just found the crevice I was looking for After all, there was really only one place for me to goEven if I could somehow have guessed the way to escape, I would still have gone this wayI crept into the blackest darkness imaginable and hurried along my way CHAPTER 27 Undecided Ifelt my way back to my prison hole It had been weeks and weeks since I'd replicas bolsas been down this particular corridor; I hadn't been back since the morning after Jared had left and Jeb had set me freeIt seemed to me that while I lived and Jared was in the caves, this must be where I belonged There was no dim light to greet me nowI was fairly sure I was in the last leg?the turns and twists were still vaguely familiarI let my left hand drag against the wall as low as I could reach, feeling for the opening as I crept forwardI wasn't decided on crawling backinside the cramped hole, but at least it would give me a reference point, letting me know that I was where I meant to be As it happened, I didn't have the option of inhabiting my cell again In the same moment that my fingers brushed the rough edge at the top of the hole, my foot hit an obstacle and I stumbled, falling to my kneesI threw my hands out to catch myself, and they landed with a crunch and a chanel black handbags crackle, breaking through something that wasn't rock and didn't belong here The sound startled me; the unexpected object frightened mePerhaps I'd made a wrong turn and wasn't anywhere near my holePerhaps I was in someone's living spaceI ran through the memory of my recent journey in my head, wondering how I could have gotten so turned about Meanwhile, I listened for some reaction to my crashing fall, holding absolutely still in the darkness There was nothing?no reaction, no soundIt was only dark and stuffy and humid, as it always was, and so silent that I knew I must be alone Carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible, I took stock of my surroundings My hands were stuck in somethingI pulled them free, tracing the contours of what felt like a cardboard box?a cardboard box with a sheet of thin, crackly plastic on top that my hands had fallen throughI felt black chanel tote around inside the box and found a layer of more crackly plastic?small rectangles that made a lot of noise when I handled themI retreated quickly, afraid of drawing attention to myself I remembered that I'd thought I'd found the top of the holeI searched to my left and found more stacks of cardboard squares on that sideI tried to find the top of the stack and had to stand in order to do so?it was as high as my headI searched until I found the wall, and then the hole, exactly where I'd thought it wasI tried to climb in to ascertain if it really was the same place?one second on that bowed floor and I would know it for certain?but I could not get any farther than the openingIt, too, was crammed full of boxes Stymied, I explored with my hands, moving back out into the hallI found I could go no deeper down the passageway; it was entirely filled with the mysterious cardboard roxanne mulberry bag squares As I hunted along the floor, trying to understand, I found something different from the crowd of boxesIt was rough fabric, like burlap, a sack full of something heavy that shifted with a quiet hissing sound when I nudged itI kneaded the sack with my hands, less alarmed by the low hiss than by the plastic crackle?it seemed unlikely that this sound would alert anyone to my presence Suddenly, it all came clearIt was the smell that did itAs I played with the sand-like material inside the bag, I got an unexpected whiff of a familiar scentIt took me back to my bare kitchen in San Diego, to the low cupboard on the left side of the sinkIn my head I could see so clearly the bag of uncooked rice, the plastic measuring cup I used to dole it out, the rows of canned food behind it? Once I realized that I was touching a bag of rice, I understoodIwas in the right place after chanel classic handbags all | ||

| When the holocaust he had ignited was at its zenith, the Jackal would abandon the truck and put into play his means of escape?his escape to Paris, the real Paris, where his army of old men would spread the word of their monseigneur?s triumph over the ubiquitous, disbelieving SovietsIt would be somewhere near the tunnel; that was a given The race through ?London,? ?Coventry? and ?Portsmouth? could only be likened to the newsreel footage from World War II depicting the carnage hurled down on Great Britain by the Luftwaffe, compounded by first the screaming and then the silent terror of the V-2 and V-5 rockets But the residents of Novgorod were not British?forbearance gave way to mass hysteria, concern for all became survival for self aloneAs the impressive reproductions of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament crashed down in flames and the aircraft factories of ?Coventry? were reduced to raging fires, the streets swelled with screaming, horrified crowds racing through the roads that led to the Volkhov River and the shipyards of ?Portsmouth There, from the scaled-down piers and slips, scores threw themselves into rushing waters only to be caught in the magnesium grids where sharp, jagged bolts of electricity blazingly zigzagged through the air, leaving limp bodies floating toward the next metal traps above and below the angry surfaceIn paralyzed fragments, the crowds Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 428 watched and turned in panic, fighting their way back into the miniaturized city of ?Portsea?; the guards had abandoned their posts and chaos ruled the night Snapping on the jeep?s searchlight, Bourne drove in sudden spurts down alleyways and the less crowded narrow streets?south, gucci women's watches always southHe grabbed a flare from the army vehicle?s floor, pulled the release string, and proceeded to thrust the spitting, hissing, blinding burst of fire into the hands and faces of the hysterical racing stragglers who tried to climb on boardThe sight of the constantly pulsating flame so close to their eyes was enough; each screamed and recoiled in terror, no doubt thinking yet another explosive had detonated in his or her immediate vicinity A graveled road! The gates to the American compound were less than a hundred yards away The graveled road? Soaked with fuel! The plastic charges had not gone off?but they would in a matter of moments, creating a wall of fire, enveloping the jeep and its driver! With the accelerator pressed to the floor, Jason raced to the gateIt was deserted?and the iron barrier was down! He slammed on the brakes, skidding to a stop, hoping beyond reasonable hope that no sparks would fly out and ignite the gravelPlacing the spewing flare on the metal floor, he swiftly removed two grenades from his pockets?grenades he was loath to part with?pulled the pins, and hurled both toward the gateThe massive explosions blew the barricade away and instantly set the graveled road on fire, the leaping flames immediate?enveloping him! He had no choice; he threw the hot flare away and sped through the tunnel of fire into Novgorod?s final largest compoundAs he did so the concrete guardhouse at the ?English? border exploded; glass, stone and shards of metal shot out and up everywhere He had been so filled with anxiety on their way to the crossing into ?Spain? that he barely recalled the diminutive replicas of the ?American? cities and towns, much less the fastest routes that chanel quilted handbag led to the tunnelHe had merely followed young Benjamin?s harsh shouted commands, but he did remember that the California-bred trainer kept referring to the ?coast road?like Route One, man, up to Carmel!? It was, of course, those streets closest to the Volkhov, which in turn became, in no order of geographical sequence, a shoreline in ?Maine,? the Potomac River of ?Washington,? and the northern waters of Long Island Sound that housed the naval base at ?New London The madness had reached ?America Police cars, their sirens wailing, sped through the streets, men shouting into radios as people in various stages of dress and undress ran out of buildings and stores, screaming about the terrible earthquake that had hit this leg of the Volkhov, one even more severe than the catastrophe in ArmeniaEven with the surest knowledge of devastating infiltration, the leaders of Novgorod could not reveal the truthIt was as if the seismic geologists of the world were forgotten, their discoveries unfoundedThe giant forces beneath the earth did not collide and erupt in terrible swift immediacy; instead, they worked in relays, sending a series of crippling body blows from north to southWho questions authority in the panic of survival? Everyone in ?America? was being prepared, primed for what they knew not They found out roughly ten minutes after the destruction of a large part of the diminutive ?Great Britain Bourne reached the compressed, miniaturized outlines of ?Washington, D when the conflagration beganThe first to plunge into flames, the sound of its detonation delayed only by milliseconds, was the wooden duplicate of the Capitol dome; it blew into the yellowed sky like the thin, hollow replica it bay bag chloe wasMoments later?only moments?the Washington Monument, centered in its patch of grassy park, crumpled with a distant boom as if its false base had been shoveled away by a thunderous ground-moving machineIn seconds the artificial set piece that was the White House collapsed in flames, the explosions dulled both audibly and visibly, for ?Pennsylvania Avenue? was awash in fire Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 429 Bourne knew where he was nowThe tunnel was between ?Washington? and ?New London, Connecticut?! It was no more than five minutes away! He drove the jeep down to the street paralleling the river, and again there were frightened, hysterical crowdsThe police were shouting through loudspeakers, first in English and then in Russian, explaining the terrible consequences if anyone tried to swim across the water, the searchlights swinging back and forth, picking up the floating bodies of those who had tried in the northern compounds ?The tunnel, the tunnel! Open the tunnel!? The screams from the excited crowds became a chant that could not physically be denied; the underground pipeline was about to be assaultedJason leaped out of the surrounded jeep, pocketing the remaining three flares, and propelled his way, arms and shoulders working furiously, often fruitlessly, through the crushing, crashing bodiesThere was nothing else for it; he pulled out a flare and ripped the release from its recessThe spewing flame had its effect; heat and fire were catalystsHe ran through the crowd, pummeling everyone in front of him, shoving the blinding, spitting flare into terrified faces, until he reached the front and faced a cordon of guards in the uniforms of the United States ArmyIt was crazy, white chanel bag insane! The world had gone nuts! No! There! In the fenced-off parking lot was the fuel truck! He broke through the cordon of guards, holding up his computerized release card, and ran up to the soldier with the highest-ranking insignia on his uniform, a colonel with an AK-47 strapped to his waist who was as panicked as any officer of high rank he had ever seen since Saigon ?My identification is with the name ?Archie? and you can clear it immediatelyEven now I refuse to speak our language, only English! Is that understood? Discipline is discipline!? ?Togda?? yelled the officer, questioning the moment, then instantly returning to English in a maddeningly Boston accent?Of course, we know of you,? he cried, ?but what can I do? This is an uncontrollable riot!? ?Has anyone passed through the tunnel in the last, say, half hour?? ?No one, absolutely, no one! Our orders are to keep the tunnel closed at all costs!? ?GoodGet on the loudspeakers and disperse the crowdsTell them the crisis has passed and the danger with it ?How can I? The fires are everywhere, the explosions everywhere!? ?They?ll stop soon ?How do you know that?? ?I know! Do as I say!? ?Do as he says!? roared a voice behind Bourne; it was Benjamin, his face and shirt drenched with sweat?And I hope to hell you know what you?re talking about!? ?Where did you come from?? ?Where you know; how is another questionTry scaring the shit out of Capital HQ for a chopper ordered by an apoplectic Krupkin from a hospital bed in Moscow ? ?Apoplectic??not bad for a Russian?? ?Who gives me such orders?? yelled the officer of the guard?You are only a young man!? ?Check me out, buddy, but do it quick,? answered Benjamin, holding out his prada black bags card | ||

| Moments later there were two single shots, the last one accompanied by a scream again on the other side of the building ?I?ve been hit!? The voice was the cry of a man in pain on the other side of the buildingThe automatic rifle! Jason slowly rose to a low crouch in the grass and peered into the darknessA fragment of blacker darkness movedHe raised his automatic and fired into the moving mass, getting to his feet and racing across the gate area, turning and squeezing the trigger until he was both out of bullets and out of sight on the east side of the building, where the runway ended and the amber lights stoppedHe crawled cautiously to the section of the waist-high fence that paralleled the corner of the small terminalThe grayish-white gravel of the parking area was a gratifying sight; he was able to make out the figure of a man writhing on the stonesThe figure rolex watches gmt master gripped a weapon in his hands, then pushing it into the gravel, raised himself to a half-sitting position ?Cugino!? he screamed?Help me!? His answer was another burst of gunfire from the west side of the building, diagonally to the right of the wounded man?Holy Christ!? he shrieked?I?m hit bad!? Again the reply was yet another fusillade from the automatic rifle, these rounds simultaneous with crashing glassThe killer on the west side of the building had smashed the windows and was blowing apart everything inside Bourne dropped the useless automatic and grabbed the top of the fence, vaulting over it, his left leg landing in agony on the groundWhat?s happened to me? Why do I hurt? Goddamn it! He limped to the wood-framed corner of the building and edged his face to the open space beyondThe figure on the gravel fell back, unable to support himself on the automatic rifleJason louis vuitton speedy bags felt the ground, found a large rock, and threw it with all his strength beyond the wounded manIt crashed, bouncing into the gravel, for an instant like the sound of approaching footstepsThe killer spastically rose and spun his body to the rear, gripping his weapon, which twice fell out of his grasp Now! Bourne raced across the stones of the parking lot and lunged off his feet down into the man with the gunHe tore the weapon from the killer?s grip and crashed the metal stock into his skullThe short, slender man went limpAnd, again, suddenly, there was another crescendo of gunfire from the west exterior of the terminal building, again accompanied by the shattering of glassThe first and nearer killer was narrowing down his targetsHe had to be stopped! thought Jason, his breath gone, every muscle in his body in painWhere was the man from yesterday? Where was Delta from replica mulberry roxanne handbags Medusa? The Chameleon from Treadstone Seventy-one? Where was that man? Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 357 Bourne grabbed the MAC-10 submachine gun from the unconscious figure on the gravel and raced toward the side door of the terminal?Let me in! I?ve got the weapon!? The door crashed open?My God, you?re alive!? shouted Conklin in the darkness of the shadows as Jason ran inside?Mo?s in bad shape?he was shot in the chestThe clerk?s dead and we can?t raise the tower out on the fieldThey must have reached it first Alex slammed the door shut?Get down on the floor!? A fusillade raked the wallsBourne got to his knees and fired back, then threw himself down beside Conklin ?What happened?? cried Jason, breathless, his voice strained, the sweat dripping down his face and stinging his eyes ?The Jackal happened ?How did he do it?? ?He fooled us allYou, me, Krupkin cartier pasha watch and Lavier?worst of all, meHe sent the word out that he?d be away, no explanation even with you here in Paris, just that he?d be gone for a whileWe thought the trap had worked; everything pointed to MoscowHe sucked us into his own trapOh, Christ, did he suck us in! I should have known better, I should have seen through it! It was too cleanOh, God, I?m sorry!? ?That?s him out there, isn?t it? He wants the kill all to himself?nothing else matters to him Suddenly a flashlight, its powerful beam blinding, was thrown through a shattered window Instantly, Bourne raised the MAC-10 and blew the shiny metal tube away, extinguishing the light The damage, however, had been done; their bodies had been seen ?Over here!? screamed Alex, grabbing Jason and diving behind the counter as a murderous barrage came from the blurred silhouette in the windowIt stopped; there was the crack of a replica chanel bags australia b | ||
