?A ?third party,? ? repeated the man
from Rome, raising the wineglass to his lipsA three-target contract is generally quite
profitableHow profitable, Signor DeFazio??
?Hey, come on, do I ask you what you make a week in Paris, France? Let?s just say it?s a lot and
you two personally can count on six figures, if everything goes according to the book
?Six figures encompass a wide spectrum,? observed the countess?It also indicates that the
contract is worth over seven figures?? DeFazio looked at the woman, his breathing on hold
?Over a million dollars,? concluded the countess
?Yeah, well, you see, it?s important to our clients that these people leave this world,? said Louis,
breathing again as seven figures had not been equated with seven million?We don?t ask why, we
just do the jobIn situations like this, our dons are generous; we keep most of the money and ?our
thing? keeps its reputation for efficiencyIsn?t that right, Mario??
?I?m sure it is, Lou, but I don?t involve replica omega seamaster planet ocean myself in those matters
?You get paid, don?t you, cugino??
?I wouldn?t be here if I didn?t, Lou
?See what I mean?? said DeFazio, looking at the aristocrats of the European Mafia, who showed
no reaction at all except to stare at the capo supremo?Hey, what?s the matter? Oh, this bad thing
that happened yesterday, huh? What was it?they saw you, right? They spotted you, and some
gorilla got off a couple of shots to scare you away, that?s it, isn?t it? I mean what else could it be,
right? They didn?t know who you were but you were there?a couple of times too often, maybe?
so a little muscle was used, okay? It?s an old scam: Scare the shit out of strangers you see more
than once
?Lou, I asked you to temper your language
?Temper? I?m losing my temperI want to deal!?
?In plain words,? said the count, disregarding DeFazio?s words with a soft voice and arched
brows, ?you say you must kill this cripple and his friend the doctor, as well as a third party, is that
correct??
?In omega seamaster for sale plain words, you got it right
?Do you know who this third party is?outside of a photograph or a detailed description??
?Sure, he?s a government slime who was sent out years ago to make like he was a Mario here, an
esecuzione, can you believe it? But these three individuals have injured our clients, I mean really
hurt themThat?s why the contract, what else can I tell you??
?We?re not sure,? said the countess, gracefully sipping her wine?Perhaps you don?t really
know
?Know what??
?Know that there is someone else who wants this third party dead far more than you do,?
explained the count?Yesterday noon he assaulted a small caf? in the countryside with murderous
gunfire, killing a number of people, because your third party was insideWe saw
them?him?warned by a guard and race outsideCertain emergencies are communicatedWe left
immediately, only minutes before the massacre
?Condannare!? choked DeFazio?Who is this bastard who wants the kill? Tell me!?
?We?ve spent yesterday chanel earrings afternoon and all day today trying to find out,? began the woman,
leaning forward, delicately fingering the indelicate glass as though it were an affront to her
sensibilities?Your targets are never aloneThere are always men around them, armed guards, and
at first we didn?t know where they came fromThen on the avenue Montaigne we saw a Soviet

limousine come for them, and your third man in the company of a well-known KGB officer, and
now we think we do know
?Only you, however,? broke in the count, ?can confirm it for usWhat is the name of this third
man on your contract? Surely we have a right to know
?Why not? He?s a loser named Bourne, Jason Bourne, who?s blackmailing our clients
?Ecco,? said the husband quietly
?Ultimo,? added the wife?What do you know of this Bourne?? she askedHe went out under cover for the government and got shafted by the big boys
in WashingtonHe gets pissed off, so he ends up shafting our clients
?You?ve fendi replica spy bag never heard of Carlos the Jackal?? said the count, leaning back in the chair, studying
the capo supremo
?Oh, yeah, sure, I heard of him, and I see what you meanThey say this Jackal character has a
big thing against this Bourne and vice versa, but it don?t cut no ice with meYou know, I thought
that fox-cat was just in books, in the movies, you know what I mean? Then they tell me he?s a real
hit man, wadda y? know??
?Very real,? agreed the countess
?But, like I said, him I couldn?t care less aboutI want the Jew shrink, the cripple, and this rotgut
Bourne, that?s allAnd I really want them
The diplomat and his wife looked at each other; they shrugged in mild astonishment, then the
contessa nodded, deferring to her husband?Your sense of fiction has been shattered by reality,?
said the count
?Come again??
