He owed his life to the Jackal, so why not
give it? What was left for him? I just wanted a few gaps filled in
?Gaps??
?Things I didn?t know
?What do we do now, Monsieur Bourne? Wasn?t that your original question??
?What do you want to do, Madame Lavier??
?I know I don?t want to dieAnd I am not Madame Lavier in the marital senseThe restrictions
never appealed to me and the benefits seemed unnecessaryFor years I was a high-priced call girl
in Monte Carlo, Nice and Cap Ferrat until my looks and my body deserted meStill, I once had
friends from the old days, intermittent lovers who took care of me for old times? sakeMost are
dead now, a pity, really
?I thought you said you were enormously well rolex watch replica paid for assuming your sister?s identity
?Oh, I was and to a degree I still am, for I?m still valuableI move among the elite of Paris,
where gossip abounds, and that?s often helpfulI have a beautiful flat on the avenue Montaigne
Antiques, fine paintings, servants, charge accounts?everything a woman once in high fashion
should be expected to have for the circles she still travels in: And moneyEvery month my bank
receives eighty thousand francs from Geneva?somewhat more than enough for me to pay the bills
For, you see, I have to pay them, no one else can do so
?So then you?ve got moneyI have a life-style, not moneyThat?s the way of the JackalExcept for the old
men, he pays only for what he gets in ladies cartier watch wholesales terms of immediate serviceIf the money from Geneva does
not arrive at my bank on the tenth of every month, I?d be thrown out in thirty daysBut then if
Carlos decided to get rid of me, there would be no need for GenevaI?d be finished?as I am no
doubt finished nowIf I returned to my flat in the Montaigne this morning, I?d never come out as
my sister never came out of that church in Neuilly-sur-Seine
?You?re convinced of that??
?Of courseThe stop where I chained the bicycle was made to receive instructions from one of
the old menThe orders were precise and to be precisely followedA woman I know would meet
me in twenty minutes at a bakery in Saint-Germain where we were to exchange clothesShe was louis vuitton vienna bag to
proceed to the Magdalen mission and I was to meet a courier from Athens in a room at the H?tel
Tr?moille
?The Magdalen mission ? You mean those women on the bicycles were actually nuns??
?Complete with vows of chastity and poverty, monsieurI am a frequent visiting superior from
the convent at Saint-Malo
?And the woman at the bakeryIs she???
?She falls from grace now and then, but she?s a perfectly splendid administrator
?Jesus,? mumbled Bourne
?He?s frequently on their lipsDo you see now the hopelessness of my position??
?I?m not sure I do

?Then I am forced to wonder if you really are the ChameleonI was not at the bakeryThe
meeting with the Greek courier replica gucci g watch never took placeWhere was I??
?You were delayedThe bicycle chain broke; you got grazed by one of those trucks on the rue
LecourbeWhat?s the difference? You were delayed
?How long has it been since you rendered me unconscious??
Jason looked at his watch, now easily seen in the bright morning sunlight?Something over an
hour-plus, I think; perhaps an hour and a halfConsidering how you were dressed, the taxi driver
cruised around trying to find a place to park where we could help you to a bench on the path with
as little scrutiny as possibleHe was well paid for his assistance
?An hour and a half?? asked Lavier pointedly
?So??
?So why didn?t I call the bakery or the H?tel Tr?moille??
?Complications? fake chanel handbag
