3:06 am	@@@@@ The crash was enormousShattered glass and @@@@@ The crash was enormousShattered glass and crushed metal accompanied the rising mists of steam from burst cylinders, and the growing fires of viscous fluids underneath that would soon reach a gas tankThe guard was moaning, semiconscious, his face bleeding; Panov pulled him out of the wreck and into the grass as far as he could until exhaustion overtook him, just before the car exploded In the moist overgrowth, his breath somewhat restored but his fear still at the forefront, Mo released his loosely bound hands and picked the fragments of glass out of his guard’s faceHe then checked for broken bones—the right arm and the left leg were candidates—and with stolen stationery from a hotel he had never heard of from the capo’s pocket, he used the guard’s pen to write out his diagnosisAmong the items he removed was a gun—what kind, he had no idea—but it was heavy and too large for his pocket and sagged in his beltHippocrates had his limits Panov searched the guard’s clothing, astonished at the money that was there—some six thousand dollars—and the various driver’s licenses—five different identities from five different statesHe took the money and the licenses to turn them over to Alex Conklin, but he left the capo’s wallet otherwise intactThere were photographs of his family, his children, grandchildren and assorted relatives—and somewhere among them a young surgeon he had put through medical schoolCiao, amico, thought Mo as he crawled over to the road, stood up and smoothed his clothes, trying to look as respectable as possible Standing on the hard coarse surface, common sense dictated that he continue north, in the direction the car was heading; to return south was not only pointless but conceivably dangerous Suddenly, it struck him Good God! Did I just do what I just did? He began to tremble, the trained psychiatrically oriented part of him telling him it was posttraumatic stress Bullshit, you assholeIt wasn’t you! He started walking, and then kept walking and walking and walkingHe was not on a backcountry road, he was on Tobacco RoadThere were no signs of civilization, not a car in either direction, not a house—not even the ruins of an old farmhouse—or a primitive stone wall that would at least have proved that humans had visited the environsMile after mile passed and Mo fought off the effects of the drug-induced exhaustionHow long had it been? They had taken his watch, his watch with the day and date in impossible small print, so he had no idea of either the present time or the time that had elapsed since he had been taken from Walter Reed HospitalHe had to find a telephoneHe had to reach Alex Conklin! Something had to happen soon! It did He heard the growing roar of an engine and spun aroundA red car was speeding up the road from the south-no, not speeding, but racing, with its accelerator flat on the floorHe waved his arms wildly—gestures of helplessness and appeal (Comment on this)

3:06 am	@@@@@ I love you, Punkin! "Smiley" 164 Could I @@@@@ I love you, Punkin! "Smiley" 164 Could I trust a suitor who called my daughter Punkin and signed himself Smiley? I didn't think soIt might not be fair, but no - I didn't think soNevertheless, I had found what I was looking forI turned the picture over again, closed my eyes, and pretended I was touching their Kodachrome images with my right handAlthough pretending wasn't what it felt like; I suppose I don't have to tell you that by now After some passage of time - I don't know exactly how long - I returned the picture to its plastic sleeve and submerged her wallet beneath the tissues and cosmetics to approximately the same depth at which I had found itThen I put her purse back on the coffee table and went into my bedroom to get Reba the Anger-Management DollI limped upstairs to Little Pink with her clamped between my stump and my sideI think I remember saying "I'm going to make you into Monica Seles" when I set Reba down in front of the window, but it could as easily have been Monica Goldstein; when it comes to memory, we all stack the deck The gospel according to Wireman 165 I'm clearer than I want to be about most of what happened on Duma, but that particular afternoon seems very vague to meI know that I fell into a frenzy of drawing, and that the maddening itch in my nonexistent right arm disappeared completely while I was working; I do not know but am almost sure that the reddish haze which always hung over my vision in those days, growing thicker when I was tired, disappeared for awhile I don't know how long I was in that stateI think quite awhileLong enough so I was both exhausted and famished when I was finished I went back downstairs and gobbled lunchmeat by the fridge's frosty glowI didn't want to make an actual sandwich, because I didn't want Ilse to know I'd felt well enough to eatLet her go on thinking our problems had been caused by bad mayonnaiseThat way we wouldn't have to spend time hunting for other explanations None of the other explanations I could think of were rational After eating half a package of sliced salami and swilling a pint or so of sweet tea, I went into my bedroom, lay down, and fell into a sodden sleep Sometimes it seems to me that my clearest memories of Duma Key are of orange evening skies that bleed at the bottom and fade away at the top, green to blackWhen I woke up that evening, another day was going down in gloryI thudded into the big main room on my crutch, stiff and wincing (the first ten minutes were always the worst)The door to Ilse's room was standing open and her bed was emp (Comment on this)

3:05 am	@@@@@Something was going to happen to @@@@@Something was going to happen to him After an hour their signal came, and they jogged up the ladder, and stood milling outside the hatchway for almost a minute before they were told to move to their boatThe decks were very slippery in the dawn, and they stumbled and cursed as they plodded along the deckWhen they reached the davits which held their landing boat, they drew up in a rough file and began waiting againRed shivered in the cold morning air and the day had already the depressing quality which early mornings always had in the ArmyIt meant they were moving, it meant something new, something unpleasant All over the ship the debarkation activities were in different stagesA few landing craft were down in the water already, filled with troops and circling around the ship like puppies on a leashThe men in them waved at the ship, the flesh color of their faces unreal against the gray paint of the landing craft, the dawn blue of the seaThe calm water looked like oilNearer the platoon, some men were boarding a landing craft, and another one, just loaded, was beginning its descent into the water, the davit pulleys creaking from time to timeBut over most of the ship men were still waiting like themselves Red's shoulders were beginning to numb under the weight of his full pack, and his rifle muzzle kept clanging against his helmetHe was feeling irritable"No matter how many times you wear a goddam pack, you never get used to it," he said "Have you got it adjusted right?" Hennessey askedHis voice was stiff and quivered a little "Fug the adjustments," Red said"It just makes me ache somewhere elseI ain't built for a pack, I got too many bones He kept on talking, glancing at Hennessey every now and then to see whether he was less nervousThe air was chill, and the sun at his left was still low and quiet without any heatHe stamped his feet, breathing the curious odor of a ship's deck, oil and tar and the fish smell of the water "When do we get into the boats?"

3:10 am	@@@@@That’ll give you time to get @@@@@That’ll give you time to get started?” “That’s who he is, isn’t he?” “Yes, of course,” replied Jason softly The man left and Bourne hurried to the desk with the attaché caseHe opened it, removing first the automatic and the box of ammunition, then picking up what had to be several hundred computer printouts secured in file foldersSomewhere in those myriad pages was a name that linked a man or a woman to Carlos the JackalFor these were the informational printouts of every guest currently at the hotel, including those who had checked out within the past twenty-four hoursEach printout was supplemented by whatever additional information was found in the data banks of the CIA, Army G-2 and naval intelligenceThere could be a score of reasons why it might all be useless, but it was a place to start Five hundred miles north, in another hotel suite, this on the third floor of Boston’s Ritz-Carlton, there was another tapping on another hotel doorInside, an immensely tall man, whose welltailored pin-striped suit made him appear even larger than his nearly six feet five inches of height, came rushing out of the bedroomHis bald head, fringed by perfectly groomed gray hair above his temples, was like the skull of an anointed éminence grise of some royal court where kings, princes and pretenders deferred to his wisdom, delivered no doubt with the eyes of an eagle and the soaring voice of a prophetAlthough his rushing figure revealed a vulnerable anxiety, even that did not diminish his image of dominanceHe was important and powerful and he knew itAll this was in contrast to the older man he admitted through the doorThere was little that was distinguished about this short, gaunt, elderly visitor; instead, he conveyed the look of defeatQuickly! Did you bring the information?” “Oh, yes, yes, indeed,” answered the gray-faced man whose rumpled suit and ill-fitting collar had both seen better days perhaps a decade ago“How grand you look, Randolph,” he continued in a thin voice while studying his host and glancing around at the opulent suite“And how grand a place this is, so proper for such a distinguished professor “The information, please,” insisted DrRandolph Gates of Harvard, expert in antitrust law and highly paid consultant to numerous industries Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 48 “Oh, give me a moment, my old friendIt’s been a long time since I’ve been near a hotel suite, much less stayed in oneOh, how things have changed for us over the yearsI read about you frequently and I’ve watched you on televisionYou’re so—erudite, Randolph, that’s the word, but it’s not enough (Comment on this)

"Definitely with cakes Up in their rooms Scarlett got out of her beautiful travelling suit as quickly as she couldShe felt an undefined need to wear her shirt and skirt and bright peasant stockingsBy mid-December Scarlett was pacing the long hallways of the Big House like a caged animalShe had forgotten how much she hated the dark, short, wet days of winterShe thought about going down to Kennedy's several times, but ever since her unfortunate party for all the townspeople, she no longer felt as easy with them as once she hadShe rode a little bitIt wasn't necessary, the grooms kept all the horses exercisedBut she needed to be out, even in the ice-filled rainWhen there were a few hours of sun she watched while Cat rode her Shetland pony in great joyful loops across the frozen meadowScarlett knew it was bad for next summer's grass, but Cat was as restless as she wasIt was all Scarlett could do to persuade her to stay indoors, even in the kitchen or the stables On Christmas Eve Cat lit the Christ Child candle and then all the candles she could reach on the Christmas treeColum held her up to reach the higher ones"Outlandish English custom," he said "You'll probably burn your house to the ground Scarlett looked at the bright decorations and glowing candles on the tree"I think it's very pretty even if the Queen of England did start the fashion," she said"Besides, I've got holly over all the windows and doors, too, Colum, so it's Irish everywhere in Ballyhara except this roomDon't be such a grumpy"Cat O'Hara, did you know your godfathc was a grumpy?"
