    Wireman scraped a sneaker through the shells,
    creating a smile with his footBeyond us, our
    shadows lay on Duma Key Road, which was paved and
    smooth and evenFarther south was
    a different story"The answer to the fan problem,
    should you care, is Dan's Fan CityIs that a
    great name, or what? And I'll tell you something:
    I actually like solving these problemsDefusing
    341
    little crisesI make folks a hell of a lot
    happier here on Duma Key than I ever did in
    court
    But you haven't lost the knack for leading people
    away from the things you don't want to discuss, I
    thought"Wireman, it would only take half an hour
    to get a physician to look into your eyes and tap
    your skull-"
    "You're wrong, muchacho," he said patiently"At
    this time of year it takes a minimum of two hours
    to get looked at in a roadside Doc-in-the-Box for
    a lousy strep throatWhen you add on an hour of
    travel time - more now, because it's Snowbird
    Season and none of them know where they're going -
    you're talking about three daylight hours I just
    can't give upNot with appointments to see the
    air conditioning guy at 17the meter-reader at

    which happened to be 39"Youngsters from Toledo
    are taking that one until March fifteenth, and
    they're paying an extra seven hundred bucks for
    something called Wi-Fi, which I don't even know

    "Movie was 1969, I think," I said
    "Whenever it was, viva the wave of the motherraping,
    froggy-stabbing futureDoesn't change the
    fact that I'm busier than a one-legged man in an
    ass-kicking contestYou
    know it's going to be more than a quick tap and

    where it starts

    @@@@@
    Focusing on this angle–viewing my choice not as a sacrifice but rather as arming the humans in
    exchange for the Seeker's life–I knew that it was wrongAnd if I was trying to save only the
    Seeker, this would be the moment when I would change my mind and turn aroundShe wasn't
    worth selling out the othersEven she would agree with that
    Or would she? I suddenly wonderedThe Seeker didn't seem to be as… what was the word
    Jared had used?AltruisticAs altruistic as the rest of usMaybe she would count her own life
    dearer than the lives of many
    But it was too late to change my mindI'd already thought far beyond just saving the Seeker
    For one thing, this would happen againThe humans would kill any souls they came across
    unless I gave them another optionMore than that, I was going to save Melanie, and that was
    worth the sacrificeI was going to save Jared and Jamie, tooMight as well save the repugnant
    Seeker while I was at it
    The souls were wrong to be hereMy humans deserved their worldI could not give it back to
    them, but I could give them thisIf only I could be sure that they would not be cruel
    I would just have to trust Doc, and hope
    And maybe wring the promise from a few more of my friends, just in case
    I wondered how many human lives I would saveHow many souls' lives Imight saveThe only
    one I couldn't save now was myselfEven over the sound of our exerted breathing, Jared heard

    After a few minutes a truck ground by and stopped for himHe climbed into the back, sat on top of a load of small-arms ammunition boxes, and frettedA guy gets hurt and how do they treat him? Like a dogThey don't give a damn about usHere I was willing to go back on my own accord, and he treated me as if I was a criminalAaah, fug 'em, they're all a bunch of bastardsHe pushed his helmet off his foreheadI'm damned if I'll try any moreIf they want to treat me that way, okayThe thought gave him some reliefOkay, then, he said at last
    He stared at the jungle which slid thickly past on either side of the truck

    Red saw Minetta at midday chow when the platoon came in from working on the roadAfter he filed through the chow line, he sat down beside Minetta, and laid his mess gear on the groundWith a grunt he eased his back against a tree"Just got back, huh?" he nodded to Minetta
    "Yeah, this morning
    "They kept you pretty long for just a scratch," Red said Minetta was silent for a moment and then added, "Well, you know how it is, hard to get in, hard to get out He swallowed a mouthful of Vienna sausage"I had a pretty soft time there
    Red piddled the dehydrated mashed potatoes and canned string beans with his spoonIt was the only eating utensil he owned; months ago he had thrown away his knife and fork"They treated you pretty good, huh?" He was annoyed with his own curiosity
    "Damn good," Minetta sa

    @@@@@
    Thank goodness, the banked fire in the great fireplace gave out some
    heat still, and enough light for her to see the door to the dining room
    and the kitchen beyondShe didn't care what she might find; even
    cold
    rice and stew would be all rightWith one hand holding the dark
    coverlet around her, she groped for the doorknob
    Was it to the left or the right? She hadn't noticed"Stop right
    there, or I'll blow a hole through your middle!" Rhett's harsh voice
    made her jumpThe blanket fell away and cold air assaulted her
    "Great balls of fire!" Scarlett turned on him and bent to gather up
    the folds of wool"Didn't I have enough to scare me witless
    yesterday? Do you have to start up again? You nearly made me jump
    out
    of my skin!"
    "What are you doing wandering around at this hour, Scarlett? I could
    have shot you
    "What are you doing skulking around scaring people?" Scarlett draped
    the coverlet around her shoulders as if it were an imperial robe of
    ermine"I'm going to the kitchen to get some breakfast" she said with
    all the dignity she could musterRhett smiled at the absurdly haughty
    figure she cut"I'll make up the fire in the stove," he said"I was
    thinking of some coffee myself " It's your houseI reckon you can
    have coffee if you want some Scarlett kicked the trailing coverlet
    behind her as if it were the train on a ball gown"Well? Aren't you
    going to open the door for me?" Rhett threw some logs into the
    fireplaceThe hot coals touched off a flare of dried leaves on one
    branch of woodHe quickly sobered the expression on his face before
    Scarlett could see itHe opened the door to the dining room and
    stepped backScarlett swept past him, but had to stop almost at
    once
    The room was completely dark"If you'll allow me-" Rhett struck a
    matchHe touched it to the lamp above the table, then carefully
    adjusted the flameScarlett could hear the laughter in his voice but
    somehow it didn't make her angry"I'm so hungry I could eat a
    horse,"

    @@@@@Again Bourne nodded, the signal for them to
    @@@@@Again
    Bourne nodded, the signal for them to crash inside, but before they could move, both were partially
    blown back by an explosion from within; a grenade had been set off, with fragments of metal and
    glass embedded in the doorsThe smoke billowed, wafting out into the dining room; the smell was
    acrid, sickening
    Jason and Sergei once more approached the kitchen’s entrance, and once again they were
    stopped by a second sudden explosion followed by staccato gunfire, the bullets piercing the thin,
    louvered panels of the swinging doors
    It was too much for the furious, impassioned ChameleonHe cracked the bolt of his AK-47,
    pulled the selective lever and then the trigger for auto fire, and crashed the doors open, lunging for
    the floor
    Another scene from another hellA section of the outside wall had been blown away, the obese
    owner and his chef, still wearing his toque, were dead, corpses pinned against the lower shelves of
    the kitchen, blood streaming across and down the wood
    Bourne slowly rose to his feet, his legs in agony, every nerve in his body frayed, the edge of
    hysteria not far awayAs if in a trance, he looked around through the smoke and the debris, his eyes
    finally settling on a large, ominous fragment of brown butcher’s paper nailed to the wall with a
    heavy cleaverHe approached it and, yanking out the cleaver, read the words printed in a black
    butcher’s pencil:
    The trees of Tannenbaum will burn and children will be the kindlingSleep well, Jason Bourne
    The mirrors of his life were shattered into a thousand pieces of glassThere was nothing else to
    do but scream
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    322

    “Stop it, David!”
    “My God, he’s insane, AlekseiSergei, grab him, hold himYou, help Sergei! Put him on the
    ground so I can talk to himWe must leave here quickly!”
    It was all the two Russian aides could do to wrestle the screaming Bourne to the grassHe had
    raced out through the exploded hole in the wall, running into the high grass in a futile attempt to
    find the Jackal, firing his AK-47 into the field beyond until his magazine was emptySergei and the
    surviving backup had rushed in after him, the former ripping the weapon out of Jason’s hands,
    together leading the hysterical man back to the rear of the mutilated country inn, where Alex and
    Krupkin were waiting for themForcibly, their charge in a sweating, erratically breathing trance,
    the five men walked rapidly to the front of the restaurant; there the uncontrollable hysteria again
    seized the Chameleon
    The Jackal’s van was goneCarlos had reversed his line of flight and escaped and Jason Bourne
    had gone mad
    “Hold him!” roared Krupkin, kneeling beside Jason as the two aides pinned Bourne to the
    groundThe KGB officer reached down and spread his hand across the American’s face, gouging
    his cheeks with thumb and forefinger, forcing Treadstone Seventy-one to look at him“I’ll say this

    he was able to, she would take care of them both

    I was exhausted from the stress of driving - I
    think from spending the day among so many people
    after being alone for so long, too - but the
    thought of lying down, let alone going to sleep,
    was out of the questionI checked my e-mail and
    found communiqués from both my daughtersMelinda
    had come down with strep in Paris and was taking
    it as she always took illness - personallyIlse
    had sent a link to the Asheville, North Carolina,
    Citizen-TimesI clicked on it and found a
    terrific review of The Hummingbirds, who had
    appeared at the First Baptist Church and had had
    the faithful shouting hallelujahThere was also a
    picture of Carson Jones and a very good-looking
    blonde standing in front of the rest of the group,
    their mouths open in song, their eyes locked
    Carson Jones and Bridget Andreisson duet on "How
    Great Thou Art," read the captionMy If-So-
    Girl had written, "I'm not a bit jealous
    I made myself a bologna and cheese sandwich (three
    months on Duma Key and I was still a go for
    bologna), then went upstairsLooked at the Girl
    and Ship paintings that were really Ilse and Ship
    439
    Thought of Wireman asking me what I was painting
    these daysThought of the long message Elizabeth
    had left on my answering machineThe anxiety in
    her voiceShe'd said that I must take precautions
    I came to a sudden decision and went back
    downstairs, going as fast as I could without
    falling

    Unlike Wireman, I don't lug my old swollen Lord
    Buxton around with me; I usually tuck one credit
    card, my driver's license, and a little fold of
    cash into my front pocket and call it goodThe
    wallet was locked in a living room desk drawerI
    took it out, thumbed through the business cards,
    and found the one with SCOTO GALLERY printed on it
    in raised gold lettersI got the after-hours
    recording I had expectedWhen Dario Nannuzzi had
    finished his little spiel and the beep had beeped,
    I said: "Hello, MrNannuzzi, this is Edgar

    Scarlett froze, not even breathingShe scanned the

    at

    “Where?” cried DeFazio, leaping to his feet
    Without answering, the diplomat calmly reached for his gold lighter, ignited it, and fired the
    small piece of paper, lowering it into an ashtrayMario sprang up from his chair; the man from
    Rome dropped the lighter on the table and swiftly retrieved the gun from his lap“First, let us
    discuss the fee,” he said as the note coiled into flaming black ash“Our dons in Palermo are
    definitely not as generous as yoursPlease talk quickly, as every minute counts
    “You motherfucking bastard!”
    “My Oedipal problems are not your concernHow much, Signor DeFazio?”
    “I’ll go the limit,” replied the capo supremo, lowering himself into the chair, staring at the
    charred remnants of the information“Three hundred thousand, American
    “That’s excremento,” said the countessSeconds become minutes and you cannot
    afford them
    “All right, all right! Double it!”
    “Plus expenses,” added the woman
    “What the fuck can they be?”
    “Your cousin Mario is right,” said the diplomat“Please watch your language in front of my
    wife
    “Holy shit—”
    “I warned you, signoreThe expenses are an additional quarter of a million, American

    straight aheadDo you feel my hand?"
    "Uh-huhWhy
    would there be? The arm that was no longer there
    had wanted the pen, and the pen was in my pocket,
    so now the arm was asleep again
    "And how about this, Edgar? May I call you Edgar?"
    "Anything but late to dinnerOne hand was still on my shoulder, but
    the other was at his sideNowhere near the stump

    darn hard to begin with He

    that give pain?"
    It did - a dull, low sparkle, vaguely hot

    I did as he asked, and decided that all-important

    @@@@@
    The net result: I still have the old way I used to think, and I have Peter's way of looking at the same problem or situationI have two thoughts instead of one One more way to analyze a problem or trend, and that is pricelessToday, I often say, "How would Peter Lynch do this, or Donald Trump or Warren Buffett or George Soros?" The only way I can access their vast mental power is to be humble enough to read or listen to what they have to sayArrogant or critical people are often people with low self-esteem who are afraid of taking risksYou see, if you learn something new, you are then required to make mistakes in order to fully understand what you have learned
    If you have read this far, arrogance is not one of your problemsArrogant people rarely read or buy tapesWhy should they? They are the center of the universe
    There are so many "intelligent" people who argue or defend when a new idea clashes with the way they thinkIn this case, their so-called "intelligence" combined with "arrogance" equals "ignorance"Each of us knows people who are highly educated, or believe they are smart, but their balance sheet paints a different pictureA truly intelligent person welcomes new ideas, for new ideas can add to the synergy of other accumulated ideasListening is more important than talkingIf that was not true, God would not have given us two ears and only one mouthToo many people think with their mouth instead of listening to absorb new ideas and possibilitiesThey argue instead of asking questions
    I take a long view on my wealthI do not subscribe to the "Get rich quick" mentality most lottery players or casino gamblers haveI may go in and out of stocks, but I am long on educationIf you want to fly an airplane, I advise taking lessons firstI am always shocked at people who buy stocks or real estate, but never invest in their greatest asset, their mindJust because you bought a house or two does not make you an expert at real estateCHOOSE FRIENDS CAREFULLY: The power of associationFirst of all, I do not choose my friends by their financial stateme

    “And?”
    “ ‘Top max’ is the Washington euphemism for maximum-classified security, and where Langley
    is concerned that’s the director of Central IntelligenceThat’s also Peter Holland
    “You told me this morning he’d have no problem wasting any member of Medusa
    “Anyone can say anythingBut would he?”
    Across the Atlantic, in the old Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, an old man in a dark
    threadbare suit trudged up the concrete path toward the entrance of the sixteenth-century cathedral
    known as the Church of the Blessed SacramentThe bells in the tower above tolled the first
    Angelus and the man stopped in the morning sunlight, wallet vuitton blessing himself and whispering to the sky
    “Angelus domini nuntiavit Mariae With his right hand he blew a kiss to the bas-relief crucifix
    atop the stone archway and proceeded up the steps and through the huge doors of the cathedral,
    aware that two robed priests eyed him with distasteI apologize for defiling your rich parish, you
    tight-assed snobs, he thought as he lit a candle and placed it in the prayer rack, but Christ made it
    clear that he preferred me to you‘The meek shall inherit the earth’—what you haven’t stolen of it
    The old man moved cautiously down the center aisle, his right hand gripping the backs of
    successive chanel white j12 watch pews for balance, his left fingering the rim of his outsized collar and slipping down to
    his tie so as to make sure the knot had not somehow come apartHis woman was so weak now that
    she could barely fold the damn thing together, but, as in the old days, she insisted on putting the
    finishing touches on his appearance before he went to workShe was still a good woman; they had
    both laughed, remembering the time she swore at his cuff links over forty years ago because she
    had put too much starch in his shirtThat night, so long ago, she had wanted him to look the proper
    bureaucrat when he went to the whore-mongering Oberführer’s earring chanel headquarters on the rue StLazare

    "How can it stink?" Stanley asked
    "It just stinks," Red answeredHe didn't like Stanley, and although he had exaggerated the faint brackish odor that came from the jungle, he was ready to defend his statementHe felt an old familiar depression seeping through him; he was bored and irritable, it was too early to eat, and he had smoked too many cigarettes"There ain't any invasion going on," he said, "this is practice

    girls - the young women - finished the rest
    between them, and it loosened them upMelinda,
    back from France for the second time since my
    argument with the crane and not happy about it,
    asked me if all adults in their fifties had these
    unpleasant regressive interludes, did she have
    that to look forward toIlse, the younger, began
    to cry, leaned against me, and asked why it
    couldn't be like it was, why couldn't we - meaning
    her mother and me - be like we wereLin told her
    this wasn't the time for Illy's patented Baby Act,
    and Illy gave her the finger
    Lin's temper and Ilse's tears weren't pleasant,
    but they were honest, and as familiar to me as the
    mole on Ilse's chin or the faint vertical frownline,
    which in time would deepen into a groove,
    between Lin's eyes
    Linnie wanted to know what I was going to do, and
    I told her I didn't knowI'd come a long distance
    toward deciding to end my own life, but I knew
    23
    that if I did it, it must absolutely look like an
    accidentI would not leave these two young women,
    just starting out in their lives, carrying the
    residual guilt of their father's suicideNor
    would I leave a load of guilt behind for the woman
    with whom I had once shared a milkshake in bed,
    both of us naked and laughing and listening to the
    Plastic Ono Band on the stereo
    After they'd had a chance to vent - after a full
    and complete exchange of feelings, in DrKamenspeak
    - my memory is that we had a pleasant
    afternoon, looking at old photo albums and
    reminiscing about the pastI think we even
    laughed some more, but not all memories of my
    other life are to be trustedWireman says when it
    comes to the past, we all stack the deck
    Ilse wanted us all to go out to dinner, but Lin
    had to meet someone at the Public Library before
    it closed, and I said I didn't feel much like
    hobbling anywhere; I thought I'd read a few
    chapters of the latest John Sandford and then go
    to bedThey kissed me - all friends again - and
    then left
    24
    Two minutes later, Ilse came back"I told Linnie
    I forgot my keys," she said
    "I take it you didn't," I saidDaddy, would you ever hurt Mom? I mean, now?
    On purpose?"
    I shook my head, but that wasn't good enough for
    herI could tell by the way she just stood there,
    looking me in the eyeI'd-"
    "You'd what, Daddy?"
    "I was going to say I'd cut my own arm off first,
    but all at once that seemed like a really bad idea
    I'd never do it, Illy
    "Then why is she still afraid of you?"
    "I think
    She hurled herself into my arms so hard she almost
    knocked us both onto the sofa"Oh, Daddy, I'm so
