    @@@@@“The Lavier woman
    has just entered the building
    “The concierge?”
    “Nowhere in sightAleksei, get away from thereLavier is on her way up
    “You want to hide?” asked Conklin facetiously, turning the pages of a telephone notebook
    “I’d rather not start off with instant hostility, which will be the case if she sees you riffling
    through her personal effects
    “All right, all right Alex returned the notebook to the drawer and closed it“But if she isn’t
    going to cooperate, I’m taking that little black book
    “She’ll cooperate,” said Bourne“I told you, she wants out, and the only way out for her is with
    a dead JackalThe money’s secondary—not inconsequential, but getting out comes first
    “Money?” asked Krupkin“What money?”
    “I offered to pay her and I will
    “And I can assure you, money is not secondary to Madame Lavier,” added the Russian
    The sound of a key being inserted into a latch echoed throughout the living roomThe three men
    turned to the door as a startled Dominique Lavier walked insideHer astonishment, however, was
    so brief as to be fleeting; there were no cracks whatsoever in her composureBrows arched in the
    manner of a regal mannequin, she calmly replaced the key in her beaded purse, looked over at the
    intruders and spoke in English
    “Well, Kruppie, I might have known you were somewhere in this bouillabaisse
    “Ah, the charming Jacqueline, or may we drop the pretense, Domie?”
    “Kruppie?” cried AlexIs this old home week?”
    “Comrade Krupkin is one of the more advertised KGB officers in Paris,” said Lavier, walking to
    the long, cubed red table behind the white silk sofa and putting down her purse“Knowing him is
    de rigueur in certain circles
    “It has its advantages, dear DomieYou can’t imagine the disinformation I’m fed in those circles

    Wireman talkedThe last thing
    he said was that he was afraid to go to sleepHe
    was afraid he might wake up to discover he was
    blind in his left eye againI told him I didn't
    think he had to worry about that, wished him a
    good night, and hung upWhat I was worried about
    was waking up in the middle of the night to
    discover Tessie and Laura - Lo-Lo, to Elizabeth -
    sitting on either side of my bed
    One of them chloe bag perhaps holding Reba on her damp lap
    I took another beer and went back upstairsI
    approached the easel with my head down, staring at
    my feet, then looked up quickly, as if hoping to
    catch the portrait by surprisePart of me - a
    rational part - expected to see it defaced by
    paint splattered from hell to breakfast, a partial
    Wireman obscured by the daubs and blotches I'd
    thrown at the canvas during the thunderstorm, kelly bag hermes when
    my only real light had been lightningThe rest of
    me knew betterThe rest of me knew that I'd been
    painting by some other light (just as blinded
    knife-throwers use some other sense to guide their
    524
    hands)That part knew Wireman Looks West had
    turned out just fine, and that part was right
    In some ways it was the best work I did on Duma
    Key, because it was my most rational work - up
    until the end, remember, Wireman dior bag Looks West had
    been done in daylightAnd by a man in his right
    mindThe ghost haunting my canvas had become a
    sweetheart of a face, young and calm and
    vulnerableThe hair was a fine clear blackA
    little smile lurked at the corners of the mouth;
    in the green eyes, as wellThe eyebrows were
    thick and handsomeThe forehead above them was
    broad, an open window where this man bent his
    thoughts toward the Gulf of MexicoThere was chanel top no
    slug in that visible brainI could just as easily
    have taken away an aneurism or a malignant tumor
    The cost of finishing the job had been high, but
    the bill had been paid
    The storm had faded to a few faint rumbles
    somewhere over the Florida panhandleI thought I
    could sleep, and I could do it with the bedside
    lamp on if I wanted to; Reba would never tellI
    could even sleep with her nestled in between my
    stump and my santos cartier watch

    what she's not
    I started to turn aroundHe put a hand on my
    shoulder
    "I'd just as soon you didn't look at me just now,"
    he saidHis voice was barely under control"I'm
    not myself just nowGo out the front door and

    then cut back through the courtyard, if you want
    to take the beachWould you do that?"
    I did thatAnd when I got back, I worked on his
    portraitBy which I suppose I
    mean it was goodI could see his face in there,
    wanting to come outThere was
    nothing special, but that was fineIt was always
    best when it was nothing specialI was happy, I
    remember that
    My right arm itched, but very low and deepThe
    window giving on the Gulf was a rectangle of
    blacknessOnce I went downstairs and ate a
    sandwichI turned on the radio and found The Bone:
    JGeils doing "Hold Your LovinGeils was
    nothing special, only great - a gift from the gods
    of rock and rollI painted and Wireman's face
    rose a little moreIt was a
    ghost haunting the canvasBut it was a harmless
    ghostIf I turned around, Wireman wouldn't be
    standing at the head of the stairs where Tom Riley
    had been standing, and down the beach at El
    Palacio de Asesinos, the left side of Wireman's
    world was still dark; it was just a thing I knewBelow the music, the
    shells whispered
    5:55 am
    @@@@@When I saw him standing in the sunlight, a
    @@@@@When I saw him standing in the sunlight, a lit cryotank in his hands,
    a rush of memories from my former life came back to me
    “Doc!” I gasped in the tiny, fragile voice“Doc, you promised! You gave me your
    oath,Eustace! Why? Why did you break your word?”
    A dim recollection of misery and pain touched meThis body had never felt such agony before
    It shied away from the sting
    “Even an honest man sometimes caves to duress, Wanda
    “Duress,” another terribly familiar voice scoffed
    “I'd say a knife to the throat counts as duress, Jared
    “You knew I wouldn't really use itYou were quite persuasive
    “A knife?” My body trembled
    “Shh, it's all okay,” Ian murmuredHis breath blew strands of golden hair across my face, and I
    brushed them away–a routine gesture“Did you really think you could leave us that way?
    Wanda!” He sighed, but the sigh was joyfulThis insight made my worry suddenly much lighter, easier to bear
    “I told you I didn't want to be a parasite,” I whispered
    “Let me through,” my old voice orderedAnd then I could see my face, the strong one, with the
    sun-brown skin, the straight black line of the eyebrows over the almond-shaped, hazel eyes, the
    high, sharp cheekbones… See it backward, not as a reflection, the way I'd always seen it beforeI know exactly what you don't want to beBut we're human, and we're
    selfish, andwe don't always do the right thingWe aren't going to let you go
    The way she spoke, the cadence and the tone, not the voice, brought back all the silent
    conversations, the voice in my head, my sister
    “Mel? Mel, you're okay!”
    She smiled then and leaned over to hug my shouldersShe was bigger than I remembered beingWasn't that the point of all the drama? And you're going to be fine, to

    Ian–they each took one sideJamie loved us both; he would be more evenly torn
    Ian did not argue with meWe ate in silence, his arm tight around my waist
    Second, I went to see Sunny and Jodi
    I expected to see three glowing cryotanks on top of women rolex watches Doc's desk, and I was surprised that there
    were still just the two Healers, set in the centerDoc and Kyle hovered over the cot where Jodi
    lay inertI walked quickly to them, about to demand to know where Sunny was, but when I got
    closer, I saw that Kyle had an occupied cryotank chanel watch j12 cradled in one arm
    “You'll want to be gentle with that,” I murmured
    Doc was touching Jodi's wrist, counting to himselfHis lips pressed into a thin line when he
    heard my voice, and he had to begin over again
    “Yeah, Doc told me that,” Kyle said, his gaze never leaving Jodi's faceA dark, kelly hermes bag matched set of
    bruises was forming under his eyesWas his nose broken again? “I'm being carefulI just…
    didn't want to leave her alone over thereShe was so sad and so… sweet
    “I'm sure she'd appreciate it, if she knew
    He nodded, still staring at Jodi“Is there something I'm supposed to be vintage omega seamaster doing here? Is there
    some way to help?”
    “Talk to her, say her name, talk about things she'll rememberTalk about Sunny, evenThat

    @@@@@Do you know what a Jew is? Yes The
    @@@@@Do you know what a Jew is?
    Yes
    The grandfather feels a spasm of warmth for his grandchildHe is an old man and he will die soon, and the child is too young to understand himThere is so much wisdom he could give
    It's a difficult question, the meaning of a JewIt's not a race, he says, it's not even a religion any more, maybe it will never be a nationDimly, he knows he has lost the child already, but he continues talking, musing aloud
    What is it, then? Yehudah Halevy said Israel is the heart of all nationsWhat attacks the body attacks the heartAnd the heart is also the conscience, which suffers for the sins of the nationsHe shrugs once more, does not differentiate between saying aloud what he thinks or merely moving his lipsIt's an interesting problem, but personally I think a Jew is a Jew because he suffers
    Why?
    So we will deserve the Messiah? The old man no longer knowsIt makes us better and worse than the goyim, he thinks
    But the child must always be given an answerHe rouses himself, concentrates and says without certainty, It is so we will lastHe speaks again, wholly lucid for a momentWe are a harried people, beset by oppressorsWe must always journey from disaster to disaster, and it makes us stronger and weaker than other men, makes us love and hate the other Juden more than other menWe have suffered so much that we know how to endureWe will always endure
    The boy understands almost nothing of this, but he has heard the words and they engrave a memory which perhaps he will exhume laterHe looks at his grandfather, at the wrinkled corded hands and the anger, the febrile intelligence, in his pale old-man's eyesIt is the only word Joey Goldstein absorbsAlready he has forgotten most of the shame and fear of his beat

    @@@@@Cautiously, the women step out from the
    @@@@@Cautiously, the women step out from the sidewalk to avoid the water in the gutters, stare with temptation at the fish heads that the owner of the fish store has just cast into the streetThe blood gives a sheen to the cobblestone at first, fades, becomes pink, and then is lost in the sewer waterOnly the smell of fish remains together with the dung balls, the tar, the rich uncertain odors of the smoked meats in the delicatessen windows
    The candy store is at the end of the street, a tiny place with grease in the ledges of the window, and rust replacing the paintThe front window slides open doubtfully to make a counter where people can buy things from the street, but the window is cracked and dust settles on the candyInside there is a narrow marble counter and an aisle about two feet wide for the customers who stand on the eroded oilclothIn the summer it is sticky, and the pitch comes off on one's shoesOn the counter are two glass jars with metal covers and a bent ladling spoon containing essence of cherry, essence of orange(Coca-Cola is not yet in vogue Between them is a tan moist cube of halvah on a block of woodThe flies are sluggish, and one has to prod them before they fly away
    There is no way to keep the place cleanGoldstein, Joey's mother, is an industrious woman, and every morning and night she sweeps out the place, washes the counter, dusts the candy, and scrubs the floor, but the grime is too ancient, it has bedded into the deepest crevices of the store, the house next door, the street beyond, it has spread into the pores and cells of everything alive and unaliveThe store cannot remain clean, and every week it is a little dirtier, a little more suppurated with the caries of the street

    The old man Moshe Sefardnick sits in the rear of the place on a camp stoolThere is never any work for him to do and indeed he is too old for it, too bewilderedThe old man has never been able to understand AmericaIt is too large, too fast, the ordered suppressed castes of centuries wither here; people are always in fluxHis neighbors become wealthier, move away from the East Side to Brooklyn, to the Bronx, to the upper West Side; some of them lose their little businesses, drift farther down the street to another hovel, or migrate to the countryHe has been a peddler himself; in the spring before the first World War, he has carried his goods on his back, tramped the dirt roads through small New Jersey towns, selling scissors and thread and needlesBut he has never understood it and now in his sixties he is prematurely senile, an old man relegated to the back of a tiny candy store, drifting in Talmudic halls of thought(If a man hath a worm on his brain, it may be removed by laying a cabbage leaf near the orifice onto which the worm will crawl
    His grandson, Joey, now seven, comes home from school weeping, a bruise on his faceMa, they beat me up, they beat me up, they called me sheenie
    Who did, who was it?
    It was the Italian kids, a whole gang, they beat me

    leaps made Scarlett clap her handsShe pushed the sweater sleeves
    up
    her arms and clapped again, this time successfullyTwo yards to her
    right the first dolphin surfaced, cleared his blow hole with a spurt of
    spume, then lazily rocked back down into the water"Oh, Rhett, I
    never saw anything so chanel watch j12 darlingIt was smiling at us!" Rhett was
    smiling, too"I always think they're smiling, and I always smile
    backI love dolphins, always have The dolphins treated Rhett and
    Scarlett to what could only be called a gameThey swam alongside,
    under, across the bow, sometimes singly, sometimes in twos or
    threes
    Diving and surfacing, blowing, rolling, leaping, ladies rolex watches looking from eyes that
    seemed human, seemed to be laughing above the engaging smile-like
    mouth
    at the clumsy, boat-bound man and woman
    "There!" Rhett pointed when one burst from the surface in a leap, and
    "There!" Scarlett yelled when another leapt in the opposite
    direction
    "There!" and "There!" and "There!" whenever the dolphins broke
    waterIt was a chanel classic bag surprise each time, always in a spot that was
    different from the places where Scarlett and Rhett were looking
    "They're dancing," Scarlett insisted"Frolicking," Rhett suggested
    "Showing olf," they agreedThe show was enchanting
    Because of it Rhett was carelessHe didn't see the dark patch of
    cloud that was spreading across the horizon behind themHis Gucci Indy Bag first
    warning was when the steady fresh wind suddenly droppedThe taut
    billowing sails went limp, and the dolphins nosed abruptly down into
    the water and disappearedHe looked then-too late-over his shoulder
    and saw the squall racing over the water and the sky"Get down into

    lurched out of an unseen recess in the corridor, racing past the machinesBourne spun back into the
    wallIt was the Jackal!

    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 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!” 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

    “What’s he saying?” asked Bourne, annoyed
    “I think he’s about to give a civics lesson, U
    “Such lessons more often than not fall on deaf ears in Washington,” interrupted Krupkin in
    English, rolex oyster perpetual day-date then immediately resuming Russian, he addressed his KGB superior“You see, comrade,
