@@@@@They must have reached it first Alex slammed the door
shut?Get down on the floor!? A fusillade raked the wallsBourne got to his knees and fired back,
then threw himself down beside Conklin
?What happened?? cried Jason, breathless, his voice strained, the sweat dripping down his face
and stinging his eyes
?The Jackal happened
?How did he do it??
?He fooled us allYou, me, Krupkin and Lavier?worst of all, meHe sent the word out that
he?d be away, no explanation even with you here in Paris, just that he?d be gone for a whileWe
thought the trap had worked; everything pointed to MoscowHe sucked us into his own trapOh,
Christ, did he suck us in! I should have known better, I should have seen through it! It was too
cleanOh, God, I?m sorry!?
?That?s him out there, isn?t it? He wants the kill all to himself?nothing else matters to him
Suddenly a flashlight, its powerful beam blinding, was thrown through a shattered window
Instantly, Bourne raised the MAC-10 and blew the shiny metal tube away, extinguishing the light
The damage, however, had been done; their bodies had been seen
?Over here!? screamed Alex, grabbing Jason and diving behind the counter as a murderous
barrage came from the blurred silhouette in the windowIt stopped; there was the crack of a bolt
?He has to reload!? whispered Bourne, with the break in the fire?Stay here!? Jason stood up
and raced to the gate doors, crashing through them, his weapon gripped in his right hand, his body
prone, tense, prepared to kill?if the years would permit itThey had to permit it!
He crawled through the gate he had opened for Marie and spun on the ground to his right,
scrambling along the fenceHe was Delta?of Saigon?s Medusa he could do it! There was no
friendly jungle now, but there was everything he could use?Delta could use?the darkness, the
intermittent blocks of shadows from the myriad clouds intercepting the moonlightUse everything!
It was what you were trained to do so many years ago?so man
