Without going into statuses?or is it statae?we?re now told they have their own private cemetery on the grounds of the general officer in charge of Pentagon procurements, who just happened to blow his head off, a minor incident we?re sitting onJesus, Delta, back up! The missiles are colliding!? Though he was standing in front of Swayne?s desk, the general?s corpse in the chair beside him, Bourne managed a tentative, slow smile?That?s what we?re counting on, isn?t it? It?s a scenario that could have been written by our beloved Saint Alex himself ?I?m only along for the ride, I?m not steering?? ?What about the doctor?? interrupted Jason?You?ve been out of operation for almost five yearsHow do you know he?s still in business?? ?I run into him now and then; we?re both museum mavensA couple of months ago at the Corcoran Gallery he complained that he wasn?t given much to do these days ?Change that tonightWhat are you going to do?? ?Delicately pull apart everything in this room ?Gloves?? ?Surgical, of course ?Don?t touch the body ?Only the pockets?very delicatelySwayne?s wife is coming down rolex swiss watch the stairsI?ll call you back when they?re goneGet hold of that doctor!? Ivan Jax, Mby way of Yale Medical School, surgical training and residency at Massachusetts General, College of Surgeons by appointment, Jamaican by birth, and erstwhile ?consultant? to the Central Intelligence Agency courtesy of a fellow black man with the improbable name of Cactus, drove through the gates of General Swayne?s estate in Manassas, VirginiaThere were times, thought Ivan, when he wished he had never met old Cactus and this was one of them, but tonight notwithstanding, he never regretted that Cactus had come into his lifeThanks to the old man?s ?magic papers,? Jax had gotten his brother and sister out of Jamaica during the repressive Manley years when established professionals were all but prohibited from emigrating and certainly not with personal funds Cactus, however, using complex mock-ups of government permits had sprung both young adults out of the country along with bank transfers honored in LisbonAll the aged forger re quested were stolen blank copies of various official documents, including louis vuitton metallic bags import/export bills of lading, the two Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 108 people?s passports, separate photographs and copies of several signatures belonging to certain men in positions of authority?easily obtainable through the hundreds of bureaucratic edicts published in the government-controlled pressIvan?s brother was currently a wealthy barrister in London and his sister a research fellow at Cambridge Yes, he owed Cactus, thought DrJax as he swung his station wagon around the curve to the front of the house, and when the old man had asked him to ?consult? with a few ?friends over in Langley? seven years ago, he had obligedSome consultation! Still, there were further perks forthcoming in Ivan?s silent association with the intelligence agencyWhen his island home threw out Manley, and Seaga came to power, among the first of the ?appropriated? properties to be returned to their rightful owners were the Jax family?s holdings in Montego Bay and Port Antonio That had been Alex Conklin?s doing, but without Cactus there would have been no Conklin, not in Ivan?s circle of friendsBut why did fake cartier watch Alex have to call tonight? Tonight was his twelfth wedding anniversary, and he had sent the kids on an overnight with the neighbors? children so that he and his wife could be alone, alone with grilled Jamaic? ribs on the patio?prepared by the only one who knew how, namely, Chef Ivan?a lot of good dark Overton rum, and some highly erotic skinnydipping in the poolDamn Alex! Double damn the son-of-a-bitch bachelor who could only respond to the event of a wedding anniversary by saying, ?What the hell? You made the year, so what?s a day count? Get your jollies tomorrow, I need you tonight So he had lied to his wife, the former head nurse at MassHe told her that a patient?s life was in the balance?it was, but it had already tipped the wrong wayShe had replied that perhaps her next husband would be more considerate of her life, but her sad smile and her understanding eyes denied her wordsHurry, my darling! Jax turned off the engine, grabbed his medical bag and got out of the carHe walked around the hood as the front door opened and a tall man in what appeared to be dark skintight clothing replica chanel bags australia stood silhouetted in the frame?I?m your doctor,? said Ivan, walking up the steps?Our mutual friend didn?t give me your name, but I guess I?m not supposed to have it ?I guess not,? agreed Bourne, extending a hand in a surgical glove as Jax approached ?And I guess we?re both right,? said Jax, shaking hands with the stranger?The mitt you?re wearing is pretty familiar to me ?Our mutual friend didn?t tell me you were black ?Is that a problem for you?? ?Good Christ, noI like our friend even moreIt probably never occurred to him to say anything ?I think we?ll get along Bourne stood ten feet to the right of the desk as Jax swiftly, expertly tended to the corpse, mercifully wrapping the head in gauzeWithout explaining, he had cut away sections of the general?s clothing, examining those parts of the body beneath the fabricFinally, he carefully rolled the hooded body off the chair and onto the floor?Are you finished in here?? he asked, looking over at Jason ?I?ve swept it clean, Doctor, if that?s what you meanI want this room sealedNo one?s to enter it after we leave until our mutual friend gives the white prada bag wor
