?You'll all have to keep up, 'cause I'm not
waiting on you He stalked forward before he was done speaking
CHAPTER 21
Named
Ikept tight to Jeb's side, a little in front of himI wanted to be as far as possible from the two
men following usJamie walked somewhere in the middle, not sure of where he wanted to be
I wasn't able to concentrate much on the rest of Jeb's tourMy attention was not focused on the
second set of gardens he led me through?one with corn growing waist-high in the blistering
heat of the brilliant mirrors?or the wide but low-ceilinged cavern he called the ?rec room That
one was pitch-black and deep underground, but he told me they brought in lights when they
wanted to playThe wordplay didn't make sense to me, not here in this group of tense, angry
survivors, but I chloe black didn't ask him to explainThere was more water here, a tiny, noxiously sulfurous
spring that Jeb said they sometimes used as a second latrine because it was no good for drinking
My attention was divided between the men walking behind us and the boy at my side
Ian and the doctor did mind their manners surprisingly wellNo one attacked me from
behind?though I thought my eyes might get lodged in the back of my head from trying to see if
they were about toThey just followed quietly, sometimes talking to each other in low voices
Their comments revolved around names I didn't know and nicknames for places and things that
might or might not have been inside these cavesI couldn't understand any of it
Jamie said nothing, but he looked at me a lotWhen I wasn't trying to keep an eye on the
others, vuitton pink bag I was often peeking at him, tooThis left little time to admire the things Jeb showed me,
but he didn't seem to notice my preoccupations
Some of the tunnels were very long?the distances hidden beneath the ground here were
mind-bogglingOften they were pitch-black, but Jeb and the others never so much as paused,
clearly familiar with their whereabouts and long since accustomed to traveling in darknessIt
was harder for me than it was when Jeb and I were aloneIn the dark, every noise sounded like
an attackEven the doctor's and Ian's casual chatter seemed like a cover for some nefarious
move
Paranoid,Melanie commented
If that's what it takes to keep us alive, so be it
I wish you would pay more attention to Uncle Jeb
Do what you want with your time
I can only hear and see what you hear gucci bangle watch and see, Wanderer,she told meThen she changed the
subjectamie looks okay, don't you think? Not too unhappy
We were just coming into some light after the longest trek so far in the humid blackness
?This here is the southernmost spur of the tube system,? Jeb explained as we walked?Not
super convenient, but it gets good light all day longThat's why we made it the hospital wing
This is where Doc does his thing
The moment Jeb announced where we were, my body froze and my joints locked; I skidded to a
halt, my feet planted against the rock floorMy eyes, wide with terror, flickered between Jeb's
face and the face of the doctor
Had this all been a ruse, then? Wait for stubborn Jared to be out of the picture and then lure me
back here? I couldn't believe I'd walked to this place under my own 2.55 chanel powerHow stupid I was!
Melanie was just as aghaste might as well have gift-wrapped ourselves for them!
They stared back at me, Jeb expressionless, the doctor looking as surprised as I felt?though not
as horrified
I would have flinched, ripped myself away from the touch of a hand on my arm, if the hand had
not been so familiar
?No,? Jamie said, his hand hesitantly resting just below my elbowRight,
Uncle Jeb?? Jamie looked trustingly at the old man?It's okay, right??
?Sure it is Jeb's faded blue eyes were calm and clear?Just showing you my place, kid, that's
all
?What are you talking about?? Ian grumbled from behind us, sounding annoyed that he didn't
understand
?Did you think we brought you here on purpose, for Doc?? Jamie said to me instead of
answering Ian?Because we wouldn't do prada china |

The breath went out of him as he tried to suppress the shock waves that swept through him
Teagarten killed! The assassin, Jason Bourne! Jason Bourne! Madness, insanity! What had
happened? Was it a resurrection of Hong Kong and Macao? Was he losing what was left of his
mind? Was he in some nightmare so real he had entered its dimensions, the horror of demented
sleep, the fantasy of conjured, improvised terror turned into reality? He broke away from the
crowd, reeled across the pavement, and leaned against the stone wall of a building, gasping for air,
his neck now in pain, trying desperately to find a reasonable train of thoughtAlex! A telephone!

He stared at the scattered
printouts in front of him, frowning, wincing, his jaw pulsatingIn seconds a sudden passivity came
over him; he sat back on the couch and spoke as quietly as Conklin?All right, you?ll get itI?ll need names, residences, schedules and methods of security, favorite
restaurants and bad habits, if any are knownTell your boys to go to workAll night, if
necessary

?What the hell do you think you?re going to do?? shouted Conklin, his frail body lurching
forward in the armchair?Storm their houses? Stick needles in their asses between the appetizer and
the entr?e??
?I hadn?t thought of the last option,? replied gucci horsebit hobo Jason, smiling grimly?You?ve really got a terrific
imagination
?And you?re a madman! I?m sorry, I didn?t mean that??
?Why not?? broke in Bourne gently?I?m not lecturing on the rise of the Manchu and the Ching
dynastyConsidering the accepted state of my mind and memory, the allusion to mental health isn?t
inappropriate Jason paused, then spoke as he leaned slowly forward?But let me tell you
something, AlexThe memories may not all be there, but the part of my mind that you and
Treadstone formed is all thereI proved it in Hong Kong, in Beijing and Macao, and I?ll prove it
againThere?s nothing left for me if I don?tNow, get me the informationYou
mentioned several people who have chanel quilted handbag to be here in WashingtonPentagon supplies or provisions??
?Procurements,? corrected Conklin?It?s a lot more expansive and expensive; he?s a general
named SwayneThen there?s Armbruster, he?s head of the Federal Trade Commission, and Burton
over at??
?Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,? completed Bourne?Admiral ?Joltin? Jack Burton, commander
of the Sixth FleetFormerly the scourge of the South China Sea, now the largest of the large
brass
?I repeat,? said Jason?Tell your boys to go to workPeter Holland will get you all the help you
needFind me everything there is on each of them
?What??
?I can get us the books on our three Philadelphians because they?re part of the balenciaga giant bag immediate
Mayflower project?that?s the JackalI can?t touch our five?so far, five?inheritors of Medusa
?For Christ?s sake, why not? You have toWe can?t waste time!?
?Time wouldn?t mean much if both of us were deadIt wouldn?t help Marie or the children
either
?What the hell are you talking about??
?Why I?m lateWhy I didn?t want to call you from VirginiaWhy I reached Charlie Casset to
pick me up at that real estate proprietary in Vienna, and why, until he got there, I wasn?t sure I?d
ever get here alive
?Spell it out, field manI?ve said nothing to anyone about going after former Medusa personnel?
that was between you and me, nobody elseWhen I spoke to you this afternoon you were playing vintage chanel jewelry it closeToo close, I thought,
considering where you were and the equipment you were using
?The rooms and the equipment proved secureCasset told me later that the Agency doesn?t want
any traceable records of anything that takes place over there, and that?s the best guarantee you can
ask forNo bugs, no phone intercepts, nothingBelieve me, I breathed a lot easier when I heard
that
?Then what?s the problem? Why are you stopping
?Because I have to figure out another admiral before I move any further into Medusa territory
Atkinson, our impeccable WASP ambassador to the Court of StJames?s in London, was very
clearIn his panic, he pulled the masks off Burton and Teagarten in replica cartier tank Brussels |

I barely noticed that it was dayI couldn't meet
the eyes of any of the humans who stopped to stare at meI could only put one foot in front of
the other until I finally reached the hallway
There were a few people clustered in front of the seventh caveThe silk screen was pushed far
aside, and they craned their necks to see into Jared's roomThey were all familiar, people I'd
considered friendsJamie's friends, tooWhy were they here? Was his condition so unstable that
they needed to check on him often?
?Wanda,? someone said
?Let her through,? Wes saidHe chanel jumbo slapped Jeb on the back
I walked through the little group without looking at themThey parted for me; I might have
walked right into them if they hadn'tI couldn't concentrate on anything but moving myself
forward
It was bright in the high-ceilinged roomThe room itself was not crowdedDoc or Jared had
kept everyone outI was vaguely aware of Jared, leaning against the far wall with his hands
clasped behind him?a posture he assumed only when he was really worriedDoc knelt beside
the big bed where Jamie lay, just where I had left him
Why had I left fendi spy bags him?
Jamie's face was red and sweatyThe right leg of his jeans had been cut away, and the bandage
was peeled back from his woundIt wasn't as big as I'd expectedNot as horrible as I would
have imaginedJust a two-inch gash with smooth edgesBut the edges were a frightening shade
of red, and the skin around the cut was swollen and shiny
?Wanda,? Jamie exhaled when he saw me He took a deep breath
I stumbled and fell to my knees beside him, dragging Ian down with meI touched Jamie's face
and felt the skin burn under my handMy elbow brushed Doc's, but I barely white chanel j12 watch noticedHe scooted
away, but I didn't look to see what emotion was on his face, whether it was aversion or guilt
?Jamie, baby, how are you??
?Stupid,? he said, grinningCan you believe this?? He gestured to his leg
I found a wet rag on his pillow and wiped it across his forehead
?You're going to be fine,? I promisedI was surprised at how fierce my voice soundedBut Jared wouldn't let me come talk to you His face was suddenly
anxious?I heard about? and Wanda, you know I ??
?ShhDon't even think of itIf I'd had any idea you were sick I would have been here buy chanel bags sooner
?I'm not really sickJust a stupid infectionI'm glad you're here, thoughI hated not knowing
how you were
I couldn't swallow down the lump in my throatMonster? My Jamie? Never
?So I heard you schooled Wes the day we got back,? Jamie said, changing the subject with a
wide grin?Man, I wish I could have seen that! I bet Melanie loved it
?She okay? Not too worried??
?Of course she's worried,? I murmured, watching the cloth travel across his forehead as if it
were someone else's hand moving it
Where was she?
I searched through my head for her familiar louis vuitton travel bags voice |

Fords raised one eyebrow?Are they blind to each other's faces? Do they not have mirrors??
?You know what I mean?a wild humanOne of the insurgents
Fords looked at the girl's unconscious body, laid out facedown on the operating tablePity
swelled in his heart as he remembered the condition her poor, broken body had been in when the
Seekers had brought her to the Healing facilitySuch pain she'd endured
Of course she was perfect now?completely healedFords had seen to that
?She looks the same as any of us,? Fords murmured to Darren?We all have human facesAnd
when she wakes up, she will be one of us, too
?It's chanel wallet purse just exciting for them, that's all
?The soul we implant today deserves more respect than to have her host body gawked at this
wayShe'll already have far too much to deal with as she acclimatesIt's not fair to put her
through this Bythis, he did not mean the gawkingFords heard the sharp edge return to his
voice
Darren patted him againThe Seeker needs information and ??
At the wordSeeker, Fords gave Darren a look that could only be described as a glareDarren
blinked in shock
?I'm sorry,? Fords apologized at once?I didn't mean to react so negativelyIt's just that I fear
for this soul
His eyes moved to the cryotank old omega watches on its stand beside the tableThe light was a steady, dull red,
indicating that it was occupied and in hibernation mode
?This soul was specially picked for the assignment,? Darren said soothingly?She is exceptional
among our kind?braver than mostHer lives speak for themselvesI think she would volunteer,
if it were possible to ask her
?Who among us would not volunteer if asked to do something for the greater good? But is that
really the case here? Is the greater good served by this? The question is not her willingness, but
what it is right to ask any soul to bear
The Healing students were discussing the chloe bag bay hibernating soul as wellFords could hear the
whispers clearly; their voices were rising now, getting louder with their excitement
?She's lived on six planets
?I heard she's never lived two terms as the same host species
?Is that possible??
?She's been almost everythingA Flower, a Bear, a Spider ??
?A See Weed, a Bat ??
?Even a Dragon!?
?I don't believe it?not seven planetsShe started on the Origin
?Really? The Origin??
?Quiet, please!? Fords interrupted?If you cannot observe professionally and silently, then I will
have to ask you to remove yourselves
Abashed, the six students fell silent and edged away from spy bag fendi one another
?Let's get on with this, Darren
Everything was preparedThe appropriate medicines were laid out beside the human girlHer
long dark hair was secured beneath a surgical cap, exposing her slender neckDeeply sedated,
she breathed slowly in and outHer sun-browned skin had barely a mark to show for her?
accident
?Begin thaw sequence now, please, Darren
The gray-haired assistant was already waiting beside the cryotank, his hand resting on the dial
He flipped the safety back and spun down on the dialThe red light atop the small gray cylinder
began to pulse, flashing faster as the seconds passed, changing chanel shopping bag color |

He was ready, thought Bourne, studying himself in the mirror, satisfied with what he sawHe
had spent the last three hours getting ready for his drive to Argenteuil, to a restaurant named Le
Coeur du Soldat, the message center for a ?blackbird,? for Carlos the JackalThe Chameleon had
dressed for the environment he was about to enter; the clothes were simple, the body and the face
less soThe first required a trip to the secondhand stores and pawn shops in Montmartre, where he
found faded trousers and a surplus French army shirt, and an equally faded small combat ribbon
that denoted a wounded ladies omega watches veteranThe second, somewhat more complex, demanded hair coloring, a
day?s growth of beard, and another constricting bandage, this bound around his right knee so tight
he could not forget the limp he had quickly perfectedHis hair and eyebrows were now a dull red?
dirty, unkempt red, which fit his new surroundings, a cheap hotel in Montparnasse whose front
desk wanted as little contact as possible with its clientele
His neck was more an irritant now than an impediment; either he was adjusting to the stiff,
restricted movement or the healing process was doing its mysterious workAnd that re stricted
movement was not a liability where his current appearance was concerned; in truth, it was an asset
An embittered wounded veteran, a discarded son of France, would be hard pressed to forget his
dual immobilityJason shoved Bernardine?s automatic into his trousers pocket, checked his money,
his car keys, and his scabbarded hunting knife, the latter purchased at a sporting goods store and
strapped inside his shirt, and limped to the door of the small, filthy, depressing omega de ville men's watches roomNext stop, the
Capucines and a nondescript Peugeot in an underground garageHe was ready,
Out on the street, he knew he had to walk a number of blocks before he found a taxi station; cabs
were not the fashion in this section of MontparnasseNeither was the commotion around a
newspaper kiosk at the second cornerPeople were shouting, many waving their arms, clutching
papers in their fists, anger and consternation in their voicesInstinctively, he quickened his pace,
reached the stand, threw down his coins and grabbed a newspaper
The breath went out of him as he tried to suppress the shock waves that swept through him

These clothes would never doI waited to talk to
him about the restI needed to look at myself first
The jeep stopped, and he pulled off the blindfold
?You don't have to keep your eyes down,? he told me when my head ducked automatically
?There's nothing here to give us awayJust in case this place was ever discoveredA few of the bigger boulders had been carefully excavated,
leaving clever dark spaces under them that no one would suspect of housing anything but dirt
and smaller rocks
The jeep was already lodged in a tight spaceI was so close to the rock, gucci paolo watches I had to climb over the
back of the jeep to get outThere was something odd attached to the bumper?chains and two
very dirty tarps, all ragged and torn
?Here,? Jared said, and led the way to a shadowy crevice just a little shorter than he wasHe
brushed aside a dusty, dirt-colored tarp and rifled through a pile hiding behind itHe pulled out a
T-shirt, soft and clean, with tags still attachedHe ripped those off and threw the shirt to me
Then he dug until he found a pair of khaki pantsHe checked the size, then flipped them to me,
too
I hesitated for a chanel cambon purse moment while he waited, wondering what my problem wasI flushed and then
turned my back to himI yanked my ragged shirt over my head and replaced it as quickly as my
fumbling fingers could manage
I heard him clear his throatI'll, uh, get the car His footsteps moved away
I stripped off my tattered cutoff sweats and pulled the crisp new pants into placeMy shoes
were in bad shape, but they weren't that noticeableBesides, comfortable shoes weren't always
easy to come byI could pretend I had an attachment to this pair
Another engine came to life, quieter chanel jumbo flap than the jeep'sI turned to see a modest, unremarkable
sedan pull out of a deep shadow under a boulderJared got out and chained the tattered tarps
from the jeep to this car's rear bumperThen he drove it to where I stood, and as I saw the heavy
tarps wipe the tire tracks from the dirt, I comprehended their purpose
Jared leaned across the seat to open the passenger doorThere was a backpack on the seat
I crouched to look at myself in the side mirrorI flipped my chin-length hair over my cheek, but it wasn't enoughI touched my
cheek and bit my lipI can't go vintage omega watches in with my face like this I pointed to the long, jagged scar across my skin
?No soul would have a scar like thisThey would have had it treatedThey'll wonder where I've
beenThey'll ask questions
His eyes widened and then narrowed?Maybe you should have thought of this before I snuck
you outIf we go back now, they'll think it was a ploy for you to learn the way out
?We're not going back without medicine for Jamie My voice was harder than his
His got harder to match it?What do you propose we do, then, Wanda??
?I'll need a rock?You're going to have to balenciaga giant bag hi |

I tugged Jeb's sleeve and squinted up at the dazzling light?How??
Jeb smiled, seeming thrilled with my curiosity?Same way the magicians do it?with mirrors,
kidTook me long enough to get them all up thereIt's nice to have extra
hands around here when they need cleaningSee, there's only four small vents in the ceiling
here, and that wasn't enough light for what I had in mindWhat do you think of it??
He pulled his shoulders back, proud again
?Brilliant,? I whispered
Jeb grinned and nodded, enjoying my reaction
?Let's keep on,? he suggested?Got a lot to do today
He led me to a new tunnel, a wide, naturally shaped tube that ran off from omega de ville men's watches the big caveThis
was new territoryMy muscles all locked up; I moved forward with stiff legs, unbending knees
Jeb patted my hand but otherwise ignored my nerves?This is mostly sleeping quarters and
some storageThe tubes are closer to the surface here, so it was easier to get some light
He pointed up at a bright, slender crack in the tunnel ceiling overheadIt threw a hand-sized
spot of white onto the floor
We reached a broad fork?not really a fork, because there were too many tinesIt was an
octopus-like branching of passageways
?Third from the left,? he said, and looked at me expectantly
?Third from the left?? I repeatedIt's easy to get omega usa lost around here, and that wouldn't be safe for you
Folks'd just as soon stab you as send you in the right direction?Thanks,? I muttered with quiet sarcasm
He laughed as if my answer had delighted him?No point in ignoring the truthDoesn't make it
worse to have it said out loud
It didn't make it better, either, but I didn't say thatI was beginning to enjoy myself just a little
It was so nice to have someone talk to me againJeb was, if nothing else, interesting company
?One, two, three,? he counted off, then he led me down the third hallway from the leftWe
started passing round entrances covered by a variety of makeshift doorsSome were cheap chanel purses curtained
off with patterned sheets of fabric; others had big pieces of cardboard duct-taped togetherOne
hole had two real doors?one red-painted wood, one gray metal?leaning over the opening
?Seven,? Jeb counted, and stopped in front of a smallish circle, the tallest point just a few
inches higher than my headThis one protected its privacy with a pretty jade green screen?the
kind that might divide the space in an elegant living roomThere was a pattern of cherry
blossoms embroidered across the silk
?This is the only space I can think of for nowThe only one that's fitted up decent for human
habitationIt will be empty for a few weeks, and chanel logo earrings we'll figure something better out for you by the
time it's needed again
He folded the screen aside, and a light that was brighter than that in the hallway greeted us
The room he revealed gave me a strange feeling of vertigo?probably because it was so much
taller than it was wideStanding inside it was like standing in a tower or a silo, not that I had
ever been in such places, but those were the comparisons Melanie madeThe ceiling, twice as
high as the room was wide, was a maze of cracksLike vines of light, the cracks circled around
and almost metThis seemed dangerous to me?unstableBut Jeb showed no fear of cave-ins as
he led me new omega watches farthe |
