Become a tourist in Montserrat, a roving ?guest? at Tranquility Inn
Bourne again reached down for the radio; he picked it up, pressed the button and gave his orders
?Go to the men?s shop in the lobby and get me three different guayabera jackets, a pair of sandals,
two or three wide-brimmed straw hats and gray or tan walking shortsThen send someone to the
tackle shop and bring me a reel of line, hundred-pound test, a scaling knife?and two distress
flaresI?ll meet you on the steps up here
?You will not heed my words, then,? said Fontaine, lowering the binoculars and looking at
Jason?Monsieur le Cam?l?on goes to work
?He goes to work,? replied Bourne, replacing the radio on the sill
?If you or the Jackal or both of you are killed, others may die, innocent people slaughtered??
?Not cartier pasha oro chrono because of me
?Does it matter? Does it matter to the victims or their families who is responsible??
?I didn?t choose the circumstances, old man, they were chosen for me
?You can change them, alter them
?He has no conscience??
?You?re one hell of an authority on that score
?I accept the rebuke, but I have lost something of great value to mePerhaps it?s why I discern a
conscience in you?a part of you
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

?Beware the sanctimonious reformer Jason started for the door and the beribboned military
tunic that hung on an old coatrack alongside the visored officer?s hat?Among other things he?s a
bore
?Shouldn?t you be watching the path below while the priests are detained? It will take some time
for StJacques to get the items you asked for
Bourne tiffany and co. jewelry stopped and turned, his eyes cold on the verbose old FrenchmanHe wanted to leave, to
get away from this old, old man who talked too much?said too much! But Fontaine was rightIt
would be stupid not to watch what happened belowAn awkward, unusual reaction on the part of
someone, an abrupt, startled glance by someone in an unexpected direction?it was the little things,
the sudden involuntary, precisely imprecise small motions that so often pointed to the concealed
string that was the fuse leading to the explosive trapIn silence, Jason walked back to the window,
picked up the binoculars and put them to his face
A police officer in the tan-and-scarlet uniform of Montserrat approached the procession of four
priests on the path; he was obviously as bewildered as he was deferential, nodding fake rolex watches women courteously as
the four gathered together to listen, gesturing politely toward the glass doors of the lobbyBourne?s
eyes shifted within the frame of vision, studying the black features of each cleric, one after another
in rapid successionHe spoke quietly to the Frenchman?Do you see what I see??
?The fourth one, the priest who was last,? replied Fontaine?He?s alarmed, but the others are
not
?Thirty pieces of silver,? agreed the Frenchman?You?ll go down and take him, of course
?Of course not,? corrected Jason?He?s right where I want him to be Bourne grabbed the radio
off the sillI?ll be up in a few minutes??
?Those priests, do you know them??
?Only the one who calls himself the ?vicar?; he comes around for contributionsAnd they?re not
really priests, David, they?re more like ?ministers? in cheap imitation chanel bags a religious orderVery religious and very
local
?Is the vicar there??
?YesHe?s always first in lineSlight change of plansBring the clothes to your office, then go and see the priests
Tell them an official of the government wants to meet them and make a contribution in return for
their prayers
?What??
?I?ll explain laterI?ll see you in the lobby
?You mean my office, don?t you? I?ve got the clothes, remember??
?They?ll come later?roughly a minute later, after I get out of this uniformDo you have a
camera in your office??
?Three or four of themGuests are always leaving them behind??
?Put all of them with the clothes,? interrupted Jason?Get going!? Bourne shoved the radio into
his belt, then changed his mindHe pulled it out and handed it to FontaineI?ll
get another and stay in black chanel quilted bag celeb contac
