@@@@@It wasn't the blue I wanted
A hand touched @@@@@It wasn't the blue I wanted A hand touched my face“Wanderer?” I looked to the soundThe movement of my head on my neck felt so oddIt didn't feel like it used to, but at the same time it felt the way it had always felt My searching eyes found the blue I'd been looking forSapphire, snow, and midnight “Ian? Ian, where am I?” The sound of the voice coming out of my throat frightened meSo high and trillingFamiliar, but not mine“Whoam I?” “You're you,” Ian told me“And you're right where you belong I pulled one of my hands free from the giant's hand that held itI meant to touch my face, but someone's hand reached toward me, and I froze The reaching hand also froze above me I tried to move my hand again, to protect myself, but that moved the hand above meI started shaking, and the hand trembled I opened and closed the hand, looking at it carefully Was thismy hand, this tiny thing? It was a child's hand, except for the long pink-and-white nails, filed into perfect, smooth curvesThe skin was fair, with a strange silvery cast to it and, entirely incongruous, a scattering of golden freckles It was the odd combination of silver and gold that brought the image back: I could see a face in my head, reflected in a mirror The setting of the memory threw me off for a moment because I wasn't used to so much civilization–at the same time, I knew nothingbut civilizationA pretty dresser with all kinds of frilly and delicate things on top of itA profusion of dainty glass bottles containing the scents I loved–I loved?

He didn't wait for her to answer, but began at once to shout "One Scarlett inhaled in jerky spurtsThen she was pulled down, down, and water filled her nose and ears and eyes and consciousness In seconds, it was overShe gulped air gratefully "I've been holding your arms, Scarlett, so you wouldn't grab me and drown us both Rhett moved his grip to her waistThe freedom felt wonderfulIf only her hands weren't so coldShe began to rub them together"That's the way," said Rhett"Keep your circulation goingTake hold of this cleatI must leave you for a few minutesI'm going to duck back up and cut away the fouled lines and the mast before they pull the boat underI'm going to cut the laces on your boots, too, ScarlettDon't kick when you feel something grab your footThose heavy skirts and petticoats will have to go, too It seemed like foreverScarlett used the time to assess her surroundingsThings weren't too bad-if she could ignore the coldThe overturned sloop made a roof over her head, so that the rain was not hitting herFor some reason the water was calmer, t | | 2:23 am |
@@@@@On all
sides there were angry, surging, @@@@@On all sides there were angry, surging, foam-streaked mountainous waves with curling breaking white tops streaming fans of spume into the furious wind and rain"Rhett," she tried to shoutOh God, where was Rhett? She turned her head from side to side, trying to see through the rain Then, just as the sloop dove furiously down the other side of the wave, she found himGod damn hissoul! He was kneeling, his back and shoulders straight, his head and chin high, and he was laughing into the wind and the rain and the waves His left hand gripped the tiller with corded strength, and his right hand was outstretched, holding on to the line that was wrapped around his elbow and forearm and wrist, the sheet that led to the fearful pull of the huge wind-filled mainsailHe's loving this! The fight with the wind, the death dangerI hate him! Scarlett looked up at the towering threat of the next wave and for a wild, despairing instant she waited for it to topple, to trap, to destroy herThen she told herself that she had nothing to fearRhett could manage anything, even the ocean itselfShe lifted her head, as his was lifted, and gave herself over to the wild perilous excitement Scarlett did not know about the chaotic power of the windAs the little sloop rode up the side of the thirty-foot wave, the wind stoppedIt was only for a few seconds, a freak of the center of the squall, but the mainsail flattened, and the boat slewed to broadside, carried erratically by water current only in a perilous climb Scarlett was aware that Rhett was rapidly freeing his arm from the encircling slack line, that he was doing something different with the swinging tiller, but she had no hint that anything was wrong until the crest of the wave was nearly under the keel and Rhett shouted, "Jibe! Jibe," and threw his body painfully over hersShe heard a rattling, creaking noise close to her head and sensed the slow then faster then rushing swing of the heavy boom aboveEverything happened very fast, yet it seemed to be terribly, unnaturally slow, as though the whole world were stoppingShe looked without understanding at Rhett's face so near to hers, and then it was gone and he was on his knees again doing something, she didn't know what, except that heavy loops of thick rope were falling on herShe didn't see the crosswind ruffle, then suddenly fill, the wet canvas of the mainsail and propel it to the opposite side of the wayless sloop with an ever-mounting force so mightly that there was a crack like the sound of lightning striking and the thick mast broke and was carried into the sea by the momentum and weight of the sailThe hull of the boat bucked, then lifted to starboard and rolled slowly, following the pull of the fouled rigging, until it was upside downCapsized in the cold storm-torn seaShe'd never known such cold could existCold rain pelting her, colder waters surrounding her, pulling at herHer whole body must be frozen Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably, making such a noise in her head that she couldn't think, couldn't understand what was happening, except that she must be paralyzed, because she couldn't move | | Sunday, December 26th, 2010 | | 2:23 am |
@@@@@You won’t, you’re too soft, too young Carlos @@@@@You won’t, you’re too soft, too young Carlos whipped the man to the ground, the tall grass bending under the fallHe withdrew his flashlight and knelt beside his captive, the knife going toward the agent’s eyes The bloodied, lifeless figure below had spoken his last words, and they were words that reverberated like kettledrums in the ears of Ilich Ramirez SanchezJason Bourne was in Moscow! It had to be Bourne, for the terrified, youthful KGB surveillant had blurted out the information in a gushing, panicked stream of phrases and half phrases, saying anything and everything that might possibly save his lifeComrade Krupkin—two Americans, one tall, the other with a limp! We took them to the hotel, then to the Sadovaya for a conference Krupkin and the hated Bourne had turned his people in Paris—in Paris, his impenetrable armed camp!—and had traced him to MoscowIt did not matter nowAll that mattered was that the Chameleon himself was at the Metropole; the traitors in Paris could waitAt the Metropole! His enemy of enemies was barely an hour away back in Moscow, no doubt sleeping the night away, without any idea that Carlos the Jackal knew he was thereThe assassin felt the exhilaration of triumph—over life and deathThe doctors said he was dying, but doctors were as often wrong as they were right, and at this moment they were wrong! The death of Jason Bourne would renew his life However, the hour was not rightThree o’clock in the morning was not the time to be seen prowling the streets or the hotels in search of a kill in Moscow, a city in the grip of permanent suspicion, darkness itself contributing to its warinessIt was common knowledge that the nightfloor stewards in the major hotels were armed, selected as much for their marksmanship as for their aptitude for serviceDaylight brought a relaxation of the night’s concerns; the bustling activity of the early morning was the time to strike—and strike he would Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 381 But the hour was right for another kind of strike, at least the prelude to itThe time had come to call together his disciples in the Soviet government and let them know the monseigneur had arrived, that their personal messiah was here to set them freeBefore leaving Paris he had collected the dossiers, and the dossiers behind those dossiers, all seemingly innocuous pages of blank paper in file folders until they were exposed to infrared light, the heat waves bringing up the typewritten scriptHe had selected a small deserted store in the Vavilova for his meeting groundHe would reach each of his people by public telephone and instruct them to be there by 5:30, all taking back streets and alleyways to the rendezvousBy 6:30 his task would be finished, each disciple armed with the information that would elevate him—and her—to the highest ranks of Moscow’s eliteIt was one more invisible army, far smaller than Paris, but equally effective and as dedicated to Carlos, the unseen monseigneur who made life infinitely more comfortable for his convertsAnd by 7:30, the mighty Jackal would be in place at the Metropole, ready for the early movements of awakening guests, the time for the rushing trays and tables of room-service waiters and the hectic confusion of a lobby alive with chatter, anxiety and bureaucracyIt was at the Metropole where he would be ready for Jason Bourn | | 2:23 am |
@@@@@He can’t be
taken seriously, not where @@@@@He can’t be taken seriously, not where serious matters are concerned “I hope you’re rightI’ll reach you tomorrow, late in the eveningWill you be at home?” “Not for a phone call from youI’ll dine alone at the Lastochka, a late supperWhat will you be doing tomorrow?” Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 378 “Making certain you are right The Jackal had disappeared into the crowds of the cathedral That was over twenty-four hours ago and Rodchenko had heard nothing to upset the schedule Perhaps the psychopath had returned to Paris, somehow convinced that his paranoid suspicions were groundless, his need to keep moving, racing, flying all over Europe superseding his momentary panicWho knew? Carlos, too, was an enigmaPart of him was a retarded sadist, a savant perhaps in the darkest methods of cruelty and killing, yet another part revealed a sick, twisted romantic, a brain-damaged adolescent reaching for a vision that wanted nothing to do with himWho knew? The time was approaching when a bullet in his head was the answer Rodchenko raised his hand for the waiter; he would order coffee and brandy—the decent French brandy reserved for the true heroes of the Revolution, especially the survivorsInstead of the waiter, the manager of Lastochka came rushing to the table, carrying a telephone “There is an urgent call for you, General,” said the man in the loose-fitting black suit, placing the phone on the table and holding out the plastic knob of the extension cord that was to be placed into the walled receptacle The manager left and Rodchenko inserted the device“Yes?” “You’re being watched wherever you go,” said the voice of the Jackal “By whom?” “Your own people “I don’t believe you “I’ve been watching all dayWould you like me to describe the places you’ve been for the past thirty hours? Starting with drinks at a café on the Kalinin, a kiosk in the Arbat, the Slavyanky for lunch, an afternoon walk along the Luznekaya?” “Stop it! Where are you?” “Come outside the Lastochka Rodchenko hung up and signaled the waiter for his checkThe aproned man’s instant response was due less to the general’s status than to the fact that he was the last diner in the restaurant Leaving his money on top of the bill, the old soldier said good night, walked through the dimly lit foyer to the entrance and let himself outIt was nearly 1:30 in the morning, and except for a few stragglers with too much vodka in them, the street was deserted | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 2:23 am |
