Sleep well, Jason Bourne
The mirrors of his life were shattered into a thousand pieces of glassThere was nothing else to
do but scream

?Stop it, David!?
?My God, he?s insane, AlekseiSergei, grab him, hold himYou, help Sergei! Put him on the
ground so I can talk to himWe must leave here quickly!?
It was all the two Russian aides could do to wrestle the screaming Bourne to the grassHe had
raced out through the exploded hole in the wall, running into the high grass in a futile attempt to
find the Jackal, firing his AK-47 into the field beyond until his magazine was emptySergei and the
surviving backup had rushed in after him, the former ripping the weapon out of Jason?s hands,
together leading the hysterical man back to the rear of the mutilated country inn, where Alex and
Krupkin were waiting for themForcibly, their charge in prada clutch a sweating, erratically breathing trance,
the five men walked rapidly to the front of the restaurant; there the uncontrollable hysteria again
seized the Chameleon
The Jackal?s van was goneCarlos had reversed his line of flight and escaped and Jason Bourne
had gone mad
?Hold him!? roared Krupkin, kneeling beside Jason as the two aides pinned Bourne to the
groundThe KGB officer reached down and spread his hand across the American?s face, gouging
his cheeks with thumb and forefinger, forcing Treadstone Seventy-one to look at him?I?ll say this
once, MrBourne, and if it doesn?t sink in, you may stay here by yourself and take the
consequences! But we must leaveIf you get hold of yourself, we?ll be in touch with the proper
officials of your government within the hour from ParisI?ve read the warning to you and I can
assure you your own people are capable of protecting your cheap chanel purses family?as your family was explained
to me by AlekseiBut you, yourself, must be part of that communicationYou can become rational,
MrBourne, or you can go to hellWhich will it be??
The Chameleon, straining against the knees pinning him to the ground, exhaled as if it were his
final breathHis eyes came into focus and he said, ?Get these bastards off me
?One of those bastards saved your life,? said Conklin
?And I saved one of theirs
The armor-plated Citro?n sped down the country road toward the Paris highwayOn the
scrambled cellular telephone, Krupkin ordered a team to Epernon for the immediate removal of
what was left of the Russian backup vehicleThe body of the slain man had been placed carefully
in the Citro?n?s trunk, and the official Soviet comment, if asked for, was one of noninvolvement:
Two lower-level diplomatic staff had gone out for a country lunch when the massacre vintage chanel jewelry occurred
Several killers were in stocking masks, the others barely seen as the staff members escaped through
a back door, running for their livesWhen it was over they returned to the restaurant, covering the
victims, trying to calm the hysterical women and the lone surviving manThey had called their
superiors to report the hideous incident and were instructed to inform the local police and return at
once to the embassySoviet interests could not be jeopardized by the accidental presence at the
scene of an act of French criminality
?It sounds so Russian,? Krupkin said
?Will anyone believe it?? Alex wondered

?It doesn?t matter,? answered the Soviet?Epernon reeks of a Jackal reprisalThe blown-apart
old man, two subordinate terrorists in stocking masks?the S?ret? knows the signsIf we were
involved, we were on the correct side, so they won?t omega aqua terra watch pursue our presence
Bourne sat silently by the windowKrupkin was beside him with Conklin in the jump seat in
front of the RussianJason broke his angry silence, taking his eyes off the rushing scenery and
slamming his fist on the armrest?Oh, Christ, the kids!? he shouted?How could that bastard have
learned about the Tannenbaum house??
?Forgive me, MrBourne,? broke in Krupkin gently?I realize it?s far easier for me to say than
for you to accept, but very soon now you?ll be in touch with WashingtonI know something about
the Agency?s ability to protect its own, ,and I guarantee you it?s maddeningly effective
?It can?t be so goddamned great if Carlos can penetrate this far!?
?Perhaps he didn?t,? said the Soviet?Perhaps he had another source
?One never knows, sir
They sped through the streets of Paris in the blinding afternoon sun as the pedestrians sweltered

?Wouldn?t you know it?d be a lousy soldier boy who puts us out on a limb? If it wasn?t for that
jackass with his access code, we wouldn?t have a problemEverything would be taken care of
?But he does exist, and the problem?the crisis?won?t go away,? said Bourne flatly?I repeat,
we have to cover ourselvesSome of us will have to leave?disappear at least for a whileFor the
good of all of us
The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission leaned back in the booth, his expression
pensively disagreeable?Yeah, well let me tell you something, Simon, or whatever your name is
You?re checking out the wrong peopleWe?re businessmen, some of us rich enough or egotistical
enough or for other reasons willing to work men's omega watch for government pay, but first we?re businessmen with
investments all over the placeWe?re also appointed, not elected, and that means nobody expects
full financial disclosuresDo you see what I?m driving at??
?I?m not sure,? said Jason, instantly concerned that he was losing control, losing the threatI?ve
been away too long and Albert Armbruster was not a foolHe was given to first-level panic, but
the second level was colder, far more analytical?What are you driving at??
?Get rid of our soldier boysBuy them villas or a couple of Caribbean islands and put them out
of reachGive ?em their own little courts and let ?em play kings; that?s what they?re all about
anyway
?Operate without them?? asked Bourne, chanel jumbo bag trying to conceal his astonishment
?You said it and I agreeAny hint of big brass and we?re in big troubleIt goes under the
heading of ?military industrial complex,? which freely translated means military-industrial
collusion Again Armbruster leaned forward over the table?We don?t need them anymore! Get
rid of them
?There could be very loud objections??
?No wayWe?ve got ?em by their brass balls!?
?I?ll have to think about it
?There?s nothing to think aboutIn six months we?ll have the controls we need in Europe

Jason Bourne stared at the chairman of the Federal Trade CommissionWhat controls? he
thought to himselfFor what reason? Why?
?I?ll drive you home,? he omega olympic watch said
?I talked to Marie,? said Conklin from the Agency garden apartment in Virginia?She?s at the
inn, not at your house
?How come?? asked Jason at a gas-station pay phone on the outskirts of Manassas
?She wasn?t too clearI think it was lunchtime or nap time?one of those times when mothers
are never clearI could hear your kids in the background
?What did she say, Alex??
?It seems your brother-in-law wanted it that wayShe didn?t elaborate, and other than sounding
like one harried mommy, she was the perfectly normal Marie I know and love?which means she
only wanted to hear about you
?Which means you told her I was perfectly fine, didn?t you??
?Hell, yesI said you were holed up under guard going over a lot quilted chanel purse of computer printouts, sort of a
variation on the truth
?Johnny must have had his talk with herShe told him what?s happened, so he moved them all to
his exclusive bunker
?His what??
?You never saw Tranquility Inn, or did you? Frankly, I can?t remember whether you did or not
?Panov and I saw only the plans and the site; that was four years agoWe haven?t been back
since, at least I haven?t
?I?ll let that pass because you?ve had a standing invitation since we got the placeAnyway,
you know it?s on the beach and the only way to get there except by water is up a dirt road so filled
with rocks no normal car could make it twiceEverything is flown in by plane or brought over by
boatAlmost nothing from the prada fairy t

I'm half out of my mind He pulled us both
to our feet
?You're going down the eastern tunnel, past the field, to the end
?The game room??
?YesAnd then you are going to wait there until I get the rest of them
?Why?? His words sounded crazy to meDid he want to play a game? To ease the tension
again?
?Because thiswill be discussedI'm calling a tribunal, Wanderer, and you are going to abide by
our decision
CHAPTER 57
Completed
It was a small tribunal this time, not like the trial for Kyle's lifeIan brought only Jeb, Doc, and
JaredHe knew chanel j12 without having to be told that Jamie must not be allowed anywhere near these
proceedings
Melanie would have to give that goodbye for meI couldn't face that, not with JamieI didn't
care if it was cowardly of me
Just one blue lamp, one dim circle of light on the stone floorWe sat on the edge of the ring of
light; I was alone, the four men facing meJeb had even brought his gun?as if it were a gavel
and would make this more official
The smell of sulfur brought back the painful days of my mourning; there were some memories
that I would not regret losing knock off chanel earrings when I was gone
?How is she?? I asked Doc urgently as they settled in, before they could get startedThis
tribunal was a waste of my small store of timeI was worried about more important things
?Which one?? he responded in a weary voice
I stared at him for a few seconds, and then my eyes grew wide?Sunny's gone? Already??
?Kyle thought it was cruel to make her suffer longer
?I wish I could have said goodbye,? I murmured to myselfHow is Jodi??
?No response yet
?The Healer's body??
?Trudy took her awayI think they went to get her something to prada handbags sale eatThey're working on
finding a temporary name she likes, so we can call her something besidesthe bodyI'm sure she will,? I said, trying to believe the wordsIt will all
work out
No one called me on my liesThey knew I was saying this for myself?I don't want to be away from Jodi longShe might need something?Let's get this over with The quicker the betterBecause it didn't matter
what was said here; Doc had agreed to my termsAnd yet there was some stupid part of me that
hoped? hoped that there was a solution that would make everything perfect and let buy chanel bags me stay
with Ian and Mel with Jared in a way that absolutely no one would suffer forBest to crush that
impossible hope quickly?Wanda, what's your side??
?I'm giving Melanie back Firm, short?no reasons to argue against
?Ian, what's yours??
?We need Wanda here
Firm, short?he was copying me
Jeb nodded to himself?That's a tricky oneWanda, why should I agree with you??
?If it were you, you'd want your body backYou can't deny Melanie that
?We have to look at the greater good, JebWanda's already brought us more health and security
than we've ever prada fairy had

?I'm sorry about last night?about your faceI shouldn't have done that
I stared at my hands, knotted together in a double fist on my lap
?You don't have to be afraid of me
I nodded, not looking at him?Thought you said you would talk to me??
I shruggedI couldn't find my voice with the weight of his antagonism in the air between usHe scooted down the mat until he sat right beside me?the way Melanie had
hoped forToo close?it was hard to think straight, hard to breathe right?but I couldn't bring
myself to scoot awayOddly, for this was what she'd wanted in the first place, Melanie was
suddenly irritated
What?I asked, startled by the intensity gucci bookbag of her emotion
I don't like him next to youIt doesn't feel rightI don't like the way you want him thereor the
first time since we'd abandoned civilization together, I felt waves of hostility emanating from
her
?I just have one question,? Jared said, interrupting us
I met his gaze and then shied away?recoiling both from his hard eyes and from Melanie's
resentment
?You can probably guess what it isJeb and Jamie spent all night jabbering at me?
I waited for the question, staring across the dark hall at the rice bag?last night's pillowIn my
peripheral vision, I saw his hand come up, and I cringed into the wall
?I'm not going to hurt you,? he said omega seamaster for sale again, impatient, and cupped my chin in his rough hand,
pulling my face around so I had to look at him
My heart stuttered when he touched me, and there was suddenly too much moisture in my eyes
I blinked, trying to clear them He said my name slowly?unwillingly, I could tell, though his voice was even and
toneless?Is Melanie still alive?still part of you? Tell me the truth
Melanie attacked with the brute strength of a wrecking ballIt was physically painful, like the
sudden stab of a migraine headache, where she tried to force her way out
Stop it! Can't you see?
It was so obvious in the set of his lips, the tight lines under his eyesIt didn't c c purse matter what I said
or what she said
I'm already a liar to him,I told here doesn't want the truth?he's just looking for evidence,
some way to prove me a liar, a Seeker, to Jeb and Jamie so that he'll be allowed to kill me
Melanie refused to answer or believe me; it was a struggle to keep her silent
Jared watched the sweat bead on my forehead, the strange shiver that shook down my spine,
and his eyes narrowedHe held on to my chin, refusing to let me hide my face
Jared, I love you,she tried to scream
My lips didn't quiver, but I was surprised that he couldn't read the words spelled out plainly in
my eyes
Time passed slowly while he waited for black quilted bag my answerIt was agonizing, having to stare into his
eyes, having to see the revulsion thereAs if that weren't enough, Melanie's anger continued to
slice at me from the insideHer jealousy swelled into a bitter flood that washed through my
body and left it polluted
More time passed, and the tears welled up until they couldn't be contained in my eyes anymore
They spilled over onto my cheeks and rolled silently into Jared's palmHis expression didn't
change
Finally, I'd had enoughI closed my eyes and jerked my head downRather than hurt me, he
dropped his hand
He sighed, frustrated
I expected he would leaveI stared at my hands again, waiting for tiffany silver tha

We?d come in from the sky
?Not with the air base ninety seconds? flying time away
?Hurry up, I want those grenadesWill we have any trouble getting them??
?Not if Krupkin keeps up the good work Krupkin had; with the flares in hand, the tunnel was
their last supply stopFour Russian army grenades were counted out and counter signed by
Benjamin?Where to?? he asked as the soldier in an American uniform returned to the concrete
guardhouse
?These aren?t exactly Ugeneral issue,? said Jason, putting the grenades carefully, one by one,
into the pockets of his field jacket
?They?re not for training, eitherThe compounds aren?t military-oriented but basically civilian
If those are ever used, it?s not for indoctrination purposesWhere do we go now??
?Check with headquarters firstSee if anything?s happened at any of the border checkpoints

?My beeper would have gone off??
?I don?t trust beepers, I like words,? interrupted Jason
Benjamin did so, fendi spy zucca bag switching to the Russian language and using the codes that only senior staff
were assignedThe terse Soviet reply came over the speaker; the young trainer replaced the
microphone and turned to Bourne?No activity at all,? he said?Just some intercompound fuel
deliveries
?What are they??
?Petrol distribution mainlySome compounds have larger tanks than others, so logistics call for
routine apportionments until the main supplies are shipped downriver
?They distribute at night??
?It?s far better than those trucks clogging up the streets during the dayRemember, everything?s
scaled down hereAlso, we?ve been driving through the back roads, but there?s a maintenance army
in the central locations cleaning up stores and offices and restaurants, getting ready for tomorrow?s
assignmentsLarge trucks wouldn?t help
?Christ, it is DisneylandAll right, head for the ?Spanish? border, Pedro
?To get there we have to pass through ?England? and ?France I don?t suppose it matters much,
but I don?t speak omega constellation price FrenchDo you??
?French fluently, Spanish acceptablyAnything else??
?Maybe you?d better drive

The Jackal braked the huge fuel truck at the ?West German? border; it was as far as he intended
to goThe remaining northernmost areas of ?Scandinavia? and ?The Netherlands? were the lesser
satellites; the impact of their destruction was not comparable to that of the lower compounds and
the time element spared themEverything was timing now, and ?West Germany? would initiate the
wholesale conflagrationsHe adjusted the coarse Portuguese shirt that covered a Spanish general?s
tunic beneath, and as the guard came out of the gatehouse Carlos spoke in Russian, using the same
words he had used at every other crossing
?Don?t ask me to speak the stupid language you talk hereI deliver petrol, I don?t spend time in
classrooms! Here?s my key
?I barely speak it myself, comrade,? said the guard, laughing as he accepted the small, flat, cardlike
object and inserted it into the computerized chanel black handbags machineThe heavy iron barrier arced up into the
vertical position; the guard returned the key and the Jackal sped through into a miniaturized ?West
Berlin
He raced through the narrow replica of the Kurf?rstendamm to the Budapesterstrasse, where he
slowed down and pulled out the petcock releaseThe fuel flowed into the streetHe then reached
into the open duffel bag on the seat beside him, ripped out the small pretimed plastique explosives
and, as he had done throughout the southern compounds to the border of ?France,? hurled them
through the lowered windows on both sides of the truck into the foundations of the wooden
buildings he thought most flammableHe sped into the ?Munich? sector, then to the port of
?Bremerhaven? on the river, and finally into ?Bonn? and the scaled-down versions of the embassies
in ?Bad Godesberg,? flooding the streets, distributing the explosivesHe looked at his watch; it was
time to head backHe had barely fifteen minutes before the first detonations took place omega aqua terra watch in all of
?West Germany,? followed by the explosions in the combined compounds of ?Italy-Greece,?
?Israel-Egypt? and ?Spain-Portugal,? each spaced eight minutes apart, timed to create maximum
chaos
There was no way the individual fire brigades could contain the flaming streets and buildings in
the disparate sectors of their compounds north of ?France Others would be ordered in from
