    @@@@@She'd be chatting cozily with Sally
    Brewton, and he'd see how much at home she was, how welcomed by
    Charleston's most interesting peopleHe'd catch up her hand and kiss
    it, and the tongs would drop, but it wouldn't matter Or she was
    with Miss Eleanor after supper, the two of them in their chairs before
    the fire, so comfortable together, so close, but with a place waiting
    for himOnly once had she envisioned going to the plantation,
    because
    she didn't know what the place was like, except that Sherman's men
    had
    burned itHer daydream began all úrightshe and Miss Eleanor arrived
    with hampers of cakes and champagne in a lovely green-painted boat,
    resting against piles of silk cushions, holding bright flowered
    parasols
    "Picnic," they called out, and Rhett laughed and ran to them, his arms
    openBut then it fizzled out, in blanknessRhett hated picnics, for
    one thingHe said you might as well live in a cave if you were going
    to eat sitting on the ground like an animal instead of in a chair at a
    table like a civilized human beingCertainly she had never thought of
    the possibility that she'd show up like this, squashed amid boxes and
    barrels of God knows what on a scabby boat that smelled to high
    heaven
    Now that she was away from the city, she was more worried about
    Rhett's
    anger than about the prowling YankeeSuppose he just tells the
    boatmen to turn right around and take me back? The boatmen dipped
    their oars into the green-brown water only to steer; the tide's
    invisible, powerful, slow current carried themScarlett looked
    impatiently at the banks of the wide riverIt didn't seem to her that
    they were moving at allEverything was the same: wide stretches of
    tall brown grasses that swayed slowly-oh, so slowly-in the tidal
    current, and behind them thick woods draped with motionless gray
    curtains of Spanish moss, under them the tangled growth of
    overgrown
    evergreen shrubs
    It was all so silentWhy weren't there any birds singing, for
    heaven's sake? And why was it getting so dark already? It began to
    rainLong before the oars started a steady pull toward the left bank
    she was soaked to the skin and shivering, miserable in body and mind
    The bump of the bow against a dock jarred her from her huddled
    desolationShe looked up through the blur of rain on her face and
    saw
    a figure in streaming black oilskins, illuminated by a blazing torch
    The face was invisible under a deep hood Rhett
    leaned forward, one arm outstretched"Good trip, boys?" Scarlett
    pushed against the crates nearest her to standHer legs were too
    cramped to hold her, and she fell back, toppling the topmost crate with
    a crash"What the hell?" Rhett caught the noosed rope that snaked
    to
    him from the boatman and dropped the circle over a mooring po

    @@@@@
    “The nun comes out, monsieur!” cried the driver“She enters the first taxi!”
    “Follow it,” said Jason, sitting up
    On the avenue Victor Hugo, Lavier’s taxi slowed down and pulled up in front of one of Paris’s
    few exceptions to tradition—an open plastic-domed public telephone“Stop here,” ordered Bourne,
    who climbed out the instant the driver swung into the curbLimping, the Chameleon walked
    swiftly, silently, to the telephone directly behind and unseen by the frantic nun under the plastic
    domeHe was not seen, but he could hear clearly as he stood several feet behind her
    “The Meurice!” she shouted into the phoneHe’ll be there at noonYes,
    yes, I’ll stop at my flat, change clothes, and be there in an hour Lavier hung up and turned,
    gasping at the sight of Jason
    “Yes, I’m afraid,” said Bourne“Shall we take my taxi or yours? ‘He’s old and gray-faced’—
    those were your words, DominiquePretty goddamned descriptive for someone who never met
    Carlos
    A furious Bernardine walked out of the Pont-Royal with the doorman, who had summoned him
    “This is preposterous!” he shouted as he approached the taxi“No, it’s not,” he amended, looking
    inside
    “Get in,” said Jason on the far side of the woman dressed in the habit of a nunFrancois did so,
    staring at the black clothes, the white pointed hat and the pale face of the religious female between
    them“Meet one of the Jackal’s more talented performers,” added Bourne“She could make a
    fortune in your cinéma-vérité, take my word for it
    “I’m not a particularly religious man, but I trust you have not made a mistakeI did—or
    should I say we did—with that pig of a baker
    “Why?”
    “He’s a baker, that’s all he is! I damn near put a grenade in his ovens, but no one but a French
    baker could plead the way he did!”
    “It fits,” said Jason“The illogical logic of Carlos—I can’t remember who said that, probably

    @@@@@Then came
    the clear click of the phone being hung up on her
    end
    "No more messages," the phone robot said"The
    message tape is full
    I stood staring down at the machine, thought of
    erasing the tape, then decided to save it and play
    it for WiremanI undressed, brushed my teeth, and
    went to bedI lay in the dark, feeling the soft
    throb of my head, while below me the shells
    whispered the last thing she'd said over and over:
    My father was a skin diver

    i
    Things slowed down for awhileSometimes that
    happensThe pot boils, and then, just before it
    can boil over, some hand - God, fate, maybe plain
    coincidence - lowers the heatI mentioned this
    once to Wireman and he said life is like Friday on
    337
    a soap operaIt gives you the illusion that
    everything is going to wrap up, and then the same
    old shit starts up on Monday
    I thought he'd go with me to see a doctor and we'd
    find out what was wrong with himI thought he'd
    tell me why he'd shot himself in the head and how
    a man survives that sort of thingThe answer
    seemed to be, "With seizures and a lot of trouble
    reading the fine print Maybe he'd even be able
    to tell me why his employer had a bee in her
    bonnet about keeping Ilse off the islandAnd the
    capper: I'd decide on what came next in the life
    of Edgar Freemantle, the Great American Primitive
    None of those things actually happened, at least
    for awhileLife does produce changes, and the end
    results are sometimes explosive, but in soap
    operas and in real life, big bangs often have a
    long fuse
    Wireman did agree to go see a doctor with me and
    "get his head examined," but not until March
    February was too busy, he saidWinter residents -
    what Wireman called "the monthlies," as if they
    were menstrual periods instead of tenants - would
    start moving into all the Eastlake properties the
    338
    coming weekendThe first snowbirds to arrive
    would be the ones Wireman liked leastThese were
    the Godfreys from Rhode Island, known to Wireman
    (and hence to me) as Joe and Rita Mean DogThey
    came for ten weeks every winter and stayed in the
    house closest to the Eastlake estateThe signs

    “Sleep well, little one,” I whispered
    I turned toward the faint hum of the cryotank, just to my leftJared held it low and angled, so it

    @@@@@
    Now as he completed the timetables he turned with reluctance to the march orders that would be necessary to remove a battalion from the line and divert them to the beachIn itself it was not too complicated a process, but since he didn't know which battalion would be removed, he had to draw up four sets of withdrawal orders and work out the subsidiary movements of the troops who would have to fill the gap in each caseIt kept him busy through most of the afternoon, for, although he assigned part of it to Leach and his other assistant, it was necessary to check their work, and the Major was very thorough, very slow
    He finished that at last, and sketched a tentative march order for the invasion battalion once it had landed at BotoiHere there was no precedent for him to follow -- the General had sketched the outline of the attack, but he had been a little vagueFrom experience, Dalleson knew he would have to submit something and the General would proceed to rip it apart and give him the movement in detailHe hoped to avoid this but he knew there was little likelihood of it, and so, sweating profusely in the heat of the tent, he indicated a route of combat march along one of the main trails, and estimated the time it should take for each portion of itThis was unplotted terrain of his mind as well, and he halted many times, wiped his forehead, and tried unsuccessfully to conceal his anxiety from himselfThe steady murmur of voices in the tent, the steady bustle of men moving from desk to desk, or the draftsmen humming over their work, irritated himOnce or twice he looked up, glared balefully at whoever was talking, and then returned to his work with an audible grunt
    The telephone rang frequently and despite himself Dalleson began to listen to the conversationsOnce for several minutes, Hearn chatted with some other officer over the phone, and Dalleson finally threw down his pencil and shouted, "Goddammit, why don't you men all shut up and get to work?" It was obviously directed toward Hearn, who murmured something into the receiver and hung up after staring thoughtfully at Dalleson
    "Did you give those papers to Hobart?" he asked Hearn
    "What the hell you been doing since then?"
    Hearn grinned and lit a cigarette"Nothing in particular, Major There was a subdued titter from a few of the clerks in the tent
    Dalleson stood up, surprised to find himself suddenly in a rage, "I don't want any of your goddam lip, HearnIt was bad to reprimand an officer in front of enlisted men"Go over and help Leach
    For several seconds Hearn stood motionless, and then he nodded, sauntered carelessly over to Leach's desk, and sat down beside himDalleson had trouble in getting back to workIn the weeks that had elapsed since the division had stalled on the line, Dalleson had expressed his concern by driving his menHe would worry frequently that his subordinates were slacking off and the work was becoming sloppyTo correct that, he was after his clerks all the time to make them retype papers in which there was one error or even one erasure, and he consistently bullied his junior officers to produce more workIt was basically a superstitio

    back, as if there was something behind him he was trying to protect
    “Just calm down, okay?” His deep voice carried over the cacophony“Back off, Jared, you're
    scaring her!”
    A flash of black hair behind his elbow–an unfamiliar face, with wide, terrified black eyes,
    peeked around at the crowd
    Jared was closest to KyleI could see that the back of his neck was bright redJamie clung to
    one of his arms, holding him backIan was on his other side, his arms crossed in front of him,
    the muscles in his shoulders tight with strainBehind them, every other human but Doc and Jeb
    was massed in an angry throngThey surged behind Jared and Ian, asking loud, angry questions
    “What were you thinking?”
    “How dare you?”
    “Why'd you come back at all?”
    Jeb was in the back corner, just watching
    Sharon's brilliant hair caught my eyeI was surprised to see her, with Maggie, right in the center

    I thought she was probably right
    I heard a shrill voice throwing out some of the angry questions and realized that Lacey was part

    “Wanda?” Kyle's voice carried across the noise again, and I looked up to see his deep blue eyes
    locked on me“Thereyou are! Could youplease come and give me a little help here?”

    Jeb cleared a path for me, pushing people aside with his rifle as though they were sheep and the

    laterLet's get this sorted out first, okay? Let me through

    @@@@@See
    you in a few minutes
    Bourne hung up the phone and returned to the couch and the printouts, separating three that had
    caught his attention, not that any of them contained anything that evoked the JackalIn stead, it was
    seemingly offhand data that might conceivably link the three to each other when no apparent
    connection existed between themAccording to their passports, these three Americans had flown in
    to Philadelphia’s International Airport within six days of one another eight months agoTwo
    women and a man, the women from Marrakesh and Lisbon, the man from West BerlinThe first
    woman was an interior decorator on a collecting trip to the old Moroccan city, the second an
    executive for the Chase Bank, Foreign Department; the man was an aerospace engineer on loan to
    the Air Force from McDonnell-DouglasWhy would three such obviously different people, with
    such dissimilar professions, converge on the same city within a week of one another? Coincidence?
    Entirely possible, but considering the number of international airports in the country, including the
    most frequented—New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami—the coincidence of Philadelphia
    seemed unlikelyStranger still, and even more unlikely, was the fact that these same three people
    were staying at the same hotel at the same time in Washington eight months laterJason wondered
    what Alex Conklin would say when he told him
    “I’m getting the book on each of them,” said Alex, sinking into an armchair across from the
    couch and the printouts
    “You knew?”
    “It wasn’t hard to put togetherOf course, it was a hell of a lot easier with a computer doing the
    scanning
    “You might have included a note! I’ve been poring over these things since eight o’clock
    “I didn’t find it—them—until after nine and I didn’t want to call you from Virginia
    “That’s another story, isn’t it?” said Bourne, sitting down on the couch, once again leaning
    forward anxiously
    “Yes, it is, and it’s God-awful
    “Medusa?”
    “It’s worse than I thought, and worse than that, I didn’t think it could be
    “It’s a bowelful,” countered the retired intelligence officerPentagon

    Jeb dropped a heavy burlap sack to the floor with a deep thud“That's a lot of flour thereYou
    try carryin' it, Trudy“I imagine it took a lot of rest stops to get it this far
    My heart, which had been thrumming like a bird's for the entire episode, settled into a less
    frantic rhythm
    The next day we were cleaning mirrors in the room that housed the cornfieldJeb told me this
    was something they had to do routinely, as the combination of humidity and dust caked the
    mirrors until the light was too dim to feed the plantsIt was Ian, working with us again, who
    scaled the rickety wooden ladder while Jeb and I tried to keep the base steadyIt was a difficult
    task, given Ian's weight and the homemade ladder's poor balanceBy the end of the day, my
    arms were limp and aching
    I didn't even notice until we were done and heading for the kitchen that the improvised holster
    Jeb always wore was empty
    I gasped out loud, my knees locking like a startled colt'sMy body tottered to a halt
    “What's wrong, Wanda?” Jeb asked, too innocent
    I would have answered if Ian hadn't been right beside him, watching my strange behavior with
    fascination in his vivid blue eyes
    So I just gave Jeb a wide-eyed look of mingled disbelief and reproach, and then slowly began
    walking beside him again, shaking my head
    “What's that about?” Ian muttered to Jeb, as if I were deaf
    “Beats me,” Jeb said; he lied as only a human could, smooth and guileless
    He was a good liar, and I began to wonder if leaving the gun behind today, and leaving me
    alone yesterday, and all this effort forcing me into human company was his way of getting me
    killed without doing the job himselfWas the friendship all in my head? Another lie?
    This was my fourth day eating in the kitchen
    Jeb, Ian, and I walked into the long, hot room–into a crowd of humans chatting in low voices
    about the day's events–and nothing happened
