?He already has,? corrected the KGB officer from Paris
?I mean into restricted areas?like storerooms filled with weapons
?That?s what concerns me,? went on Krupkin, fingering the microphone in his hand?Since he?s
been there before?and he obviously has?what does he know about the installation who does he
know??
?Get on a radio patch, call the place and have him stopped, held!? insisted Jason
?Suppose I reach the wrong person, or suppose he already has weapons and we set him off?
With one phone call, one hostile confrontation or even the appearance of a strange automobile,
there could be wholesale slaughter of several dozen men and womenWe saw what he did at the
Metropole, in the VavilovaHe?s lost all control; he?s utterly mad
?Dimitri,? came the metallic Soviet voice over the radio speaking Russian?Something?s
happeningThe man just came out of a http://www.ooluxury.com/scategory_21_Tiffany-Jewelry.html" target="_blank side door with a burlap sack and is heading for the car
Comrade, I?m not sure it?s the same manIt probably is, but there?s something different about him
?What do you mean? The clothes??
?No, he?s wearing a dark suit and his right arm is in a black sling as before yet he?s moving
more rapidly, his pace firmer, his posture erect
?You?re saying he does not appear to be wounded, yes??
?I guess that?s what I?m saying, yes
?He could be faking it,? said Conklin?That son of a bitch could be taking his last breath and
convince you he?s ready for a marathon
?For what purpose, Aleksei? Why any pretense at all??
?I don?t know, but if your man in that car can see him, he can see the carMaybe he?s just in a
hell of a hurry
?What?s going on?? asked Bourne angrily
?Someone?s come outside with a bagful of goodies and going to the car,? said Conklin in
English
?For http://www.irluxury.com/categorys_3_Monogram-Canvas_1.html" target="_blank Christ?s sake, stop him!?
?We?re not sure it?s the Jackal,? interrupted Krupkin?The clothes are the same, even to the arm
sling, but there are physical differences??
?Then he wants you to think it isn?t him!? said Jason emphaticallyWhat??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
398
?He?s putting himself in your place, thinking like you?re thinking now and by doing that
outthinking youHe may or may not know that he?s been spotted, the car picked up, but he has to
assume the worst and act accordinglyHow long before we get there??
?The way my outrageously reckless young comrade is driving, I?d say three or four minutes
?Krupkin!? The voice burst from the radio speaker?Four other people have come outside?
three men and a womanThey?re running to the car!?
?What did he say?? asked BourneAlex translated and Jason frowned?Hostages?? he said
quietly, as if to http://www.snluxury.com/categorys_27_Seamaster-300600M_1.html" target="_blank himself?He just blew it!? Medusa?s Delta leaned forward and touched Krupkin?s
shoulder?Tell your man to get out of there the moment that car takes off and he knows where it?s
headingTell him to be obvious, to blow the hell out of his horn while he passes the armory, which
he must pass from one way or the other
?My dear fellow!? exploded the Soviet intelligence officer?Would you mind telling me why I
should issue such an order??
?Because your colleague was right and I was wrongThe man in the sling isn?t CarlosThe
Jackal?s inside, waiting for the cavalry to pass the fort so he can get away in another car?if there is
a cavalry
?In the name of our revered Karl Marx, do explain how you reached this contradictory
conclusion!?
?SimpleEven if you could, you wouldn?t shoot up that car on the road,
would you??
?AgreedThere are four other people inside, all http://www.snluxury.com/categorys_92_Coco-Chanel-Shoulder-Bag_1.html" target="_blank no doubt innocent Soviet citizens forced to
appear otherwise
?Hostages??
?Yes, of course
?When was the last time you heard of people running like hell into a situation where they could
become hostages? Even if they were under a gun from a doorway, one or two, if not all of them,
would try to race behind other cars for protection
?My word??
?But you were right about one thingCarlos has a contact inside that armory?the man in the
slingHe may only be an innocent Russian with a brother or a sister living in Paris, but the Jackal
owns him
?Dimitri!? shouted the metallic voice in Russian?The car is speeding out of the parking lot!?
Krupkin pressed the button on his microphone and gave his instructionsEssentially, they were
to follow that automobile to the borders of Finland if necessary, but to take it without violence,
calling in the police if they had http://www.snluxury.com/category_6_Fendi_1.html" target="_blank
