@@@@@ An ambulance stormed into the street @@@@@ An ambulance stormed into the street followed by two additional patrol cars, all the sirens at maximum volumeFrom the rue d’Alésia, apartment dwellers had gathered at both corners, many in hastily pulled—on street attire—trousers and undershirts— while others were in night clothes—frayed bathrobes and worn slippersNoting that the Jackal’s van was now a smoldering mass of twisted steel and shattered glass, Bernardine continued: “Give the crowds time to satisfy their morbid viewing, then send men to disperse themIn an hour or so, when the rubble is under control and the bodies carted away, proclaim loudly to your police detachment that the emergency is over, ordering all but one man back to the precinctThat man is to remain here on duty until the debris is cleared from the boulevardHe is also to be instructed not to interfere with anyone leaving the buildings, is that clear?” “Not for a momentYou said that someone might be hiding—” “I know what I said,” pressed the former Deuxième consultant “You will stay here, then?” Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 274 “YesI will move slowly, inconspicuously, around the areaWhat about the police report? And my report?” “Use some of the truth, not all of it, of courseWord was passed to you—informer’s name withheld—that an act of violence related to the Bureau’s narcotics division was to take place on the boulevard Lefebvre at precisely this hourYou commandeered a police contingent and found nothing, but shortly thereafter your highly professional instincts sent you back beyond the time span, unfortunately too late to stop the carnage “I might even be commended,” said the associate, suddenly frowning, wary“And your report?” he asked quietly “We’ll see if one is necessary, won’t we?” replied the newly reinstated Deuxième consultant The medical team wrapped the bodies of the victims and placed them in the ambulance as a wrecker hoisted what was left of the destroyed vehicle into the huge attached dumpsterThe crew swept the street, several remarking that they should not sweep too thoroughly or no one would recognize the LefebvreA quarter of an hour later the job was finished; the wrecker departed, the lone patrolman joining the crew to be dropped off at the nearest police phone several blocks away It was well past four o’clock in the morning, and soon the dawn would light up the sky over Paris, preceding the boisterous human carnival belowNow, however, the only signs of life on the boulevard Lefebvre were five lighted windows in the row of stone buildings controlled by Carlos the JackalInside those rooms were men and women for whom sleep was not permittedThey had work to do for their monseigneur Bourne sat on the pavement, his legs outstretched, his back against the inside wall of a storefront across from the building where the frightened yet argumentative baker and the indignant nun had confronted the policeBernardine was in a similar recess several hundred feet away, opposite the first building where the Jackal’s van had stopped for its condemned cargoTheir agreement was firm: Jason would follow and take by force whoever left first from any building; the old Deuxième veteran would follow whoever left second, ascertain his or her destination, but make no conta | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 2:22 am |

@@@@@I could feel the
differenceFor one moment, @@@@@I could feel the differenceFor one moment, it was just us, just Wanderer and Jared, both of us burning No one had ever lied better than Jared lied with his body in my last minutes, and for that I was gratefulI couldn't take it with me, because I wasn't going anywhere, but it eased some of the pain of leavingI could believe the lieI could believe that he would miss me so much that it might even mar some of his joyI shouldn't want that, but it felt good to believe it anyway I couldn't ignore the time, the seconds ticking like a countdownEven on fire, I could feel them dragging at me, sucking me down the dark corridorTaking me away from all this heat and feeling I managed to pull my lips away from hisWe panted in the dark, our breath warm on each other's faces “Thank you,” I said againI can't… bear any moreOkay?” “Okay,” he whispered “I just want one more thingPlease?” “If… if you're sure that's what you want…” He trailed off, unsure “It's what I need, Jared “Then I'll stay here,” he said hoarsely “I'll send Doc to get you when it's over His arms were still locked around me “You know that Ian is going to try to kill me for letting you do this?
