?I?m a doctor and I?ve had to do a great many things I didn?t like doing and I?m sure this is in
that categoryBut when, I think of that young man and what was done to him??
?Please,? broke in Jason
?Yes, yes, I understandNevertheless, I?m here if you need me, I just wanted you to know thatI?m not terribly proud of my previous statementsI saw what I saw and I do have a name and I?m
perfectly willing to testify in a court of lawIn other words, I withdraw my reluctance
?There?ll be no courts, Doctor, no testimony
?Really? But these are serious crimes!?
?We know what they are,? interrupted Bourne?Your help is greatly appreciated, but nothing
else concerns you
?I see,? said the doctor, staring curiously at Jason The Canadian went to the door
and turned?You?d better let me check that neck later The doctor left and
Bourne turned to Fontaine
?Are we ready??
?We?re ready,? replied the Frenchman, smiling pleasantly at the large, imposing, thoroughly
mystified young black woman?What are you going to do with all the money you?re chanel sheep bag earning
tonight, my dear??
The girl giggled shyly, her broad smile alive with bright white teeth?I have a good boyfriend
I?m going to buy him a fine presentWhat?s your boyfriend?s name??
?Ishmael, sir
?Let?s go,? said Jason firmly
The plan was simple to mount and, like most good strategies, however complex, simple to
executeOld Fontaine?s walk through the grounds of Tranquility Inn had been precisely mapped
outThe trek began with Fontaine and the young woman returning to his villa presumably to look
in on his ill wife before his established, medically required evening strollThey stayed on the
lighted main path, straying now and then across the floodlit lawns but always visible, a crotchety
old man supposedly walking wherever his whims led him, to the annoyance of his companionIt
was a familiar sight the world over, an enfeebled, irascible septuagenarian taunting his keeper
The two former Royal Commandos, one rather short, the other fairly tall, had selected a series of
stations between the points where the Frenchman and his ?nurse? sale tiffany jewelry would turn and head in different
directionsAs the old man and the girl proceeded into the next planned leg, the second commando
bypassed his colleague in darkness to the next location, using unseen routes only they knew or
could negotiate, such as that beyond the coastline wall above the tangled tropical brush that led to
the beach below the villasThe black guards climbed like two enormous spiders in a jungle,
crawling swiftly, effortlessly from branch and rock to limb and vine, keeping pace with their two
chargesBourne followed the second man, his radio on Receive, the angry words of Fontaine
pulsating through the static
Where is that other nurse? That lovely girl who takes care of my woman? Where is she? I
haven?t seen her all day! The emphatic phrases were repeated over and over again with growing
hostility

Jason slippedHe was caught! He was behind the coastal wall, his left foot entangled in thick
vinesHe could not pull his leg loose?the strength was not there! He moved his gucci backpacks for cheap head?his
shoulders?and the hot flashes of pain broke out on his neckHis
lungs bursting, the blood now drenching his shirt, he worked his way free and crawled on
Suddenly there were lights, colored lights spilling over the wallThey had reached the path to
the chapel, the red and blue floodlights that lit up the entrance to Tranquility Inn?s sealed off
sanctuaryIt was the last destination before the return route back to Fontaine?s villa, and one they
all agreed was designed more to permit the old Frenchman time to catch his breath than for any
other purposeJacques had stationed a guard there to prevent entrance into the demolished
chapelThere would be no contact hereThen Bourne heard the words over the radio?the words
that would send the false nurse racing away from her false charge
?Get away from me!? yelled FontaineWhere is our regular nurse? What have
you done with her??
Up ahead, the two commandos were side by side, crouching below the wallThey turned and
looked at Jason, their expressions in the eerie wash of colored lights telling him tiffany jewelry imitation what he knew only
too wellFrom that moment on, all decisions were his; they had led him, escorted him, to his
enemyThe rest was up to him
The unexpected rarely disturbed Bourne; it did nowHad Fontaine made a mistake? Had the old
man forgotten about the inn?s guard and erroneously presumed he was the Jackal?s contact? In his
aged eyes had an understandably surprised reaction on the guard?s part been misinterpreted as an
approach? Anything was possible, but considering the Frenchman?s background?the life of a
survivor?and the state of his alert mind, such a mistake was not realistic
Then the possibility of another reality came into focus and it was sickeningHad the guard been
killed or bribed, replaced by another? Carlos was a master of the turn-aroundIt was said he had
fulfilled a contract on the assassination of Anwar Sadat without firing a weapon, by merely
replacing the Egyptian president?s security detail with inexperienced recruits?money dispersed in
