@@@@@It
was a familiar sight the world over, an @@@@@It was a familiar sight the world over, an enfeebled, irascible septuagenarian taunting his keeper The two former Royal Commandos, one rather short, the other fairly tall, had selected a series of stations between the points where the Frenchman and his “nurse” would turn and head in different directionsAs the old man and the girl proceeded into the next planned leg, the second commando bypassed his colleague in darkness to the next location, using unseen routes only they knew or could negotiate, such as that beyond the coastline wall above the tangled tropical brush that led to the beach below the villasThe black guards climbed like two enormous spiders in a jungle, crawling swiftly, effortlessly from branch and rock to limb and vine, keeping pace with their two chargesBourne followed the second man, his radio on Receive, the angry words of Fontaine pulsating through the static Where is that other nurse? That lovely girl who takes care of my woman? Where is she? I haven’t seen her all day! The emphatic phrases were repeated over and over again with growing hostility Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 168 Jason slippedHe was caught! He was behind the coastal wall, his left foot entangled in thick vinesHe could not pull his leg loose—the strength was not there! He moved his head—his shoulders—and the hot flashes of pain broke out on his neckHis lungs bursting, the blood now drenching his shirt, he worked his way free and crawled on Suddenly there were lights, colored lights spilling over the wallThey had reached the path to the chapel, the red and blue floodlights that lit up the entrance to Tranquility Inn’s sealed off sanctuaryIt was the last destination before the return route back to Fontaine’s villa, and one they all agreed was designed more to permit the old Frenchman time to catch his breath than for any other purposeJacques had stationed a guard there to prevent entrance into the demolished chapelThere would be no contact hereThen Bourne heard the words over the radio—the words that would send the false nurse racing away from her false charge “Get away from me!” yelled FontaineWhere is our regular nurse? What have you done with her?” Up ahead, the two commandos were side by side, crouching below the wallThey turned and looked at Jason, their expressions in the eerie wash of colored lights telling him what he knew only too wellFrom that moment on, all decisions were his; they had led him, escorted him, to his enemyThe rest was up to him The unexpected rarely disturbed Bourne; it did nowHad Fontaine made a mistake? Had the old man forgotten about the inn’s guard and erroneously presumed he was the Jackal’s contact? In his aged eyes had an understandably surprised reaction on the guard’s part been misinterpreted as an approach? Anything was possible, but considering the Frenchman’s background—the life of a survivor—and the state of his alert mind, such a mistake was not realistic Then the possibility of another reality came into focus and it was sickeningHad the guard been killed or bribed, replaced by another?
