Ivan Jax suddenly appeared in the doorway?Our little
game of destabilization will start right here on the ?farm Do you have Cactus?s number??
?Not with meI think it?s probably in a shoebox at home
?Call Mo Panov, he?s got itThen reach Cactus and tell him to get to a pay phone and call me
here
?What the hell have you got in mind? I hear that old man?s name, I get nervous
?You told me I had to find someone else to trust besides you Jason
hung up the telephoneor maybe under the circumstances I can use your
name
?Hello, no-name, which is the way I?d like to keep it on my endEspecially when I just heard
you say another name
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
111
?Alex? No, of course it wasn?t Alex, not our mutual friend Bourne laughed quietly,
knowingly, as he walked away from the desk?It was Cactus, wasn?t it??
?I just came in to ask you if you http://www.culuxury.com/category_3_Chloe_1.html" target="_blank wanted me to close the gates,? said Jax, bypassing the question
?Would you be offended if I told you that I didn?t think of him until I saw you just now??
?Certain associations are fairly obviousThe gates, please??
?Do you owe Cactus as much as I do, Doctor?? Jason held his place, looking at the Jamaican
?I owe him so much that I could never think of compromising him in a situation like tonightFor
God?s sake, he?s an old man, and no matter what deviant conclusions Langley wants to come up
with, tonight was murder, a particularly brutal killingNo, I wouldn?t involve himHe?d never forgive me if I didn?t
?You don?t think much of yourself, do you??
?Please close the gates, DoctorThere?s an alarm panel in the hallway I can activate when
they?re shut
Jax hesitated, as if unsure of what he wanted to say?Listen,? he began haltingly, ?most sane
people have http://www.ooluxury.com/scategory_8_Hermes.html" target="_blank reasons for saying things?doing thingsMy guess is you?re saneCall Alex if you
need me?if old Cactus needs me The doctor left, rushing out the door
Bourne turned and glanced around the roomSince Flannagan and Rachel Swayne had left
nearly three hours ago, he had searched every foot of the general?s study, as well as the dead
soldier?s separate bedroom on the second floorHe had placed the items he intended to take on the
brass coffee table; he studied them nowThere were three brown leather-bound covers, each equal
in size, each holding inserted spiral-bound pages; they were a desk setThe first was an
appointments calendar; the second, a personal telephone book in which the names and numbers
were entered in ink; the last was an expense diary, barely touchedAlong with these were eleven
office messages of the telephone notepad variety, which Jason found in http://www.muluxury.com/category_4_Dolce-Gabbana_1.html" target="_blank Swayne?s pockets, a golfclub
scorecard and several memoranda written at the PentagonFinally, there was the general?s
wallet containing a profusion of impressive credentials and very little moneyBourne would turn
everything over to Alex and hope further leads would be found, but as far as he could determine, he
had turned up nothing startling, nothing dramatically relevant to the modern MedusaAnd that
bothered him; there had to be somethingThis was the old soldier?s home, his sanctum sanctorum
inside that home?something! He knew it, he felt it, but he could not find itSo he started again,
not foot by foot now; instead, inch by inch
Fourteen minutes later, as he was removing and turning over the photographs on the wall behind
the desk, the wall to the right of the cushioned bay window that overlooked the lawn outside, he
recalled Conklin?s words about http://www.muluxury.com/scategory_8_Hermes.html" target="_blank checking the windows and the curtains so that no one could enter or
observe the scene inside
Christ, it must be a mess in there
It?s not very pleasantThe panes of the central bay window frame were splattered with blood and membranethe small brass latch? Not only was it free from its catch, the window itself was open?
barely open, but nevertheless it was openBourne knelt on the cushioned seat and looked closely at
the shiny brass fixture and the surrounding panes of glassThere were smudges among the rivulets
of dried blood and tissue, coarse pressings on the stains that appeared to widen and thin them out
into irregular shapesThen below the sill he saw what kept the window from closingThe end of
the left drape had been drawn out, a small piece of its tasseled fabric wedged beneath the lower
window frameJason stepped back bewildered but not really http://www.culuxury.com/scategory_30_Cartier-Watches.html" target="_blank surpris
