| And I gave him the whole Bourne-Jackal history?and then
someone from Medusa used it in Brussels
?They did more than that, Alex,? said Holland, leaning forward in his chair and picking up
several papers from his desk?They stole your scenario, usurped your strategyThey?ve pitted
Jason Bourne against Carlos the Jackal, but instead of the controls being in your hands, Medusa has
themBourne?s back where he was in Europe thirteen years ago, maybe with his wife, maybe not,
the only difference being that in addition to Carlos and Interpol and every other police authority on
the continent ready to waste him on sight, he?s got another lethal monkey on his back
?That?s what?s in those pages you?re holding, isn?t it? The information from New York??
?I can?t guarantee it, but I think soIt?s the cross-pollinator I spoke about before, the bee that
went replica gucci bag from one rotten flower to another carrying poison
?Nicolo Dellacroce and the higher-ups above him
?Mafia??
?It?s consistent, if not socially acceptableMedusa grew out of Saigon?s officer corps and it still
relegates its dirty work to the hungry grunts and corrupt NCOsand men like
Sergeant FlannaganWhen it comes to killing or kidnapping or using drugs on prisoners, the
starched-shirt boys stay far in the background; they?re nowhere to be found
?But I gather you found them,? said the impatient Conklin
?Again, we think so?we being our people in quiet consultation with New York?s anticrime
division, especially a unit called the U
?They?re mostly Italian Americans; they gave themselves the name Untouchable Siciliansinitials with a dual connotationAccording to the Reco-Metropolitan?s billing files??
?The who??
?The company that installed the hermes birkin bag replica answering machine on One Hundred Thirty-eighth Street in
Manhattan
?According to the files, the machine was leased to a small importing firm on Eleventh Avenue
several blocks from the piersAn hour ago we got the telephone records for the past two months for
the company, and guess what we found??
?I?d rather not wait,? said Alex emphatically
?Nine calls to a reasonably acceptable number in Brooklyn Heights, and three in the space of an
hour to an extremely unlikely telephone on Wall Street
?Someone was excited??
?That?s what we thought?we in this case being our own unitWe asked the Sicilians to give us
what they had on Brooklyn Heights
?DeFazio??
?Let?s put it this wayHe lives there, but the phone is registered to the Atlas Coin Vending
Machine Company in Long Island CityWhat about DeFazio??
?He?s a middle-level but ambitious capo in the cheap chanel bags Giancavallo familyHe?s very close, very
underground, very vicious

?Holy Christ !?
?The Untouchables swore us to secrecyThey intend to spring it themselves
?Bull****,? said Conklin softly?One of the first things we learn in this business is to lie to
anyone and everyone, especially anyone who?s foolish enough to trust usWe?ll use it anytime it
gets us a square forwardWhat?s the other telephone number, the unlikely one??
?Just about the most powerful law firm on Wall Street
?Medusa,? concluded Alex firmly
?That?s the way I read itThey?ve got seventy-six lawyers on two floors of the buildingWhich
one is it?or who among them are they??
?I don?t give a goddamn! We go after DeFazio and whatever controls he?s sending over to Paris
To Europe to feed the JackalThey?re the guns after Jason and that?s all I rolex watch replica care aboutGo to work on
DeFazioHe?s the one under contract!?
Peter Holland leaned back in his chair, rigid, intense?It had to come to this, didn?t it, Alex?? he
asked quietly?We both have our prioritiesI?d do anything within my sworn capacity to save
the lives of Jason Bourne and his wife, but I will not violate my oath to defend this country firstI
can?t do it and I suspect you know thatMy priority is Medusa, in your words a global cartel that
intends to become a government within our government over hereThat?s whom I have to go after
First and immediately and without regard to casualtiesTo put it plainly, my friend?and I hope
you?re my friend?the Bournes, or whoever they are, are expendable
?That?s really why you asked me to come over here this morning, isn?t it?? said Conklin,
