?I keep forgetting; what else is new?? Jason pointed at the screen?Why is he in Moscow? Why
did you say Medusa found the Jackal? Why??
?Because he?s the law firm in New York
?What?? Bourne whipped his head toward Conklin?He?s the??
?The chairman of the board,? completed Alex, interrupting?The Agency closed in and he got
out
?Why the hell didn?t you tell me?? cried Jason angrily
?Because I never thought for a moment we?d be standing here looking at that picture on the
screenI still can?t understand it, but I can?t deny it, eitherAlso, I saw no reason to bring up a
name you might or might not remember, a personally very disturbing occurrence you might or

?All right, Aleksei!? said an agitated Krupkin, stepping forward?I?ve heard words and names
that evoke certain unpleasant memories for me, at any rate, and I think it behooves me to ask a

?Oh, they?re very creative, and Ogilvie?s the most inventive of allHe?s Superspider and he?s
spun a hell of a web from Washington through every capital in EuropeUnfortunately for him, and
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

thanks to my associate here, he was caught like a fly in his own spinningHe was about to be
pounced on by people in Washington he couldn?t possibly corrupt, but he was tipped off and got
out the day before yesterdayWhy he came to Moscow I haven?t the vaguest idea
?I may be able to answer that for you,? said Krupkin, glancing at the KGB colonel and nodding,

speak of, indeed of any killing whatsoe
