    @@@@@"Why do people
    mind?" she askedIt made Scarlett feel betterIn December she
    explained to Cat that she'd be gone for a longer time because she was
    going a long way, on the trainCat's response was the sameScarlett
    set off for the long-awaited hunt with the Galway Blazers on a
    Tuesday
    She wanted a day of rest for herself as well as her horses before
    Thursday's huntShe wasn't tired; on the contrary, she was almost
    too
    excited to sit still
    But she wasn't about to take any chancesShe had to be better than
    her bestIf Thursday was a triumph, she'd stay for Friday and
    Saturday as wellHer best would be good enough thenAt the end of
    the first day's hunting, John Graham presented Scarlett with the
    gore-gummed pad that she had wonShe accepted it with a court
    curtsey"Thank you, Your ExcellencyThe
    applause was even louder when two stewards came in bearing a huge
    platter that held a steaming pie"I've been telling everyone about
    your sporting bet, MrsO'hara," said Graham, "and we'd devised a
    small joke for youThis is a pie of minced crow meatI will now
    take the first biteThe rest of the Blazers will followI had
    expected you to be doing it unaccompanied Scarlett smiled her
    sweetest smile"I'll sprinkle some salt on it for you, ' She first
    noticed the hawk-faced man on the black horse on Friday when he
    made an
    impossible jump ahead of her and she reined in abruptly to watch,
    nearly losing her seathe rode with an arrogant fearlessness that
    made her own recklessness seem tameAfterwards, people
    surrounded him
    at the hunt breakfast, all of them talking, the man saying lit

    @@@@@
    “Why?” he asked softly“You know, Jeb has this crazy idea that you're here for me and Jamie
    Isn't that nuts?”
    My mouth half-opened; I quickly bit down on my lip
    Jared leaned forward slowly and took my face between both his hands
    “Won't you tell me?”
    My head shook once, fastI wasn't sure who did itWas it me saying won't or Melanie saying
    can't?
    His hands tightened under my jawI opened my eyes, and his face was inches away from mine
    My heart fluttered, my stomach dropped–I tried to breathe, but my lungs did not obey
    I recognized the intention in his eyes; I knew how he would move, exactly how his lips would
    feelAnd yet it was so new to me, a first more shocking than any other, as his mouth pressed
    against mine
    I think he meant just to touch his lips to mine, to be soft, but things changed when our skin
    metHis mouth was abruptly hard and rough, his hands trapped my face to his while his lips
    moved mine in urgent, unfamiliar patternsIt was so different from remembering, so much
    strongerMy head swam incoherentlyI was no longer in control of it–it was in control of meIt was not
    Melanie–the body was stronger than either of us nowOur breathing echoed loudly: mine wild
    and gasping, his fierce, almost a snarl
    My arms broke free from my controlMy left hand reached for his face, his hair, to wind my
    fingers in it
    My right hand was faster
    Melanie's fist punched his jaw, knocked his face away from mine with a blunt, low soundFlesh
    against flesh, hard and angry
    The force of it was not enough to move him far, but he scrambled away from me the instant our
    lips were no longer connected, gaping with horrorstruck eyes at my horrorstruck expression
    I stared down at the still-clenched fist, as repulsed as if I'd found a scorpion growing on the end
    of my arm

    A few of the men snickered"All right, keep it down," the officer said"Let's have the platoon noncoms forward
    Croft and a sergeant from the pioneer and demolition platoon stepped up"Most of my men are in the next truck," the noncom said, and the officer told him to move his men togetherCroft talked in a low voice to the officer for a minute and then gathered recon around him"We got to wait," he said"Let's stick around that tree There was just enough light for them to notice it, and they walked over slowly"Where are we now?" Ridges asked
    "Second Battalion headquarters," Croft said"What've you been working on the road for all this time if you don't even know where you are?"
    "Shoot, Ah just work, Ah don' spend mah time lookin' around," Ridges saidHe guffawed nervously, and Croft told him to be quietThey sat down around the tree and waited silentlyA battery fired in a grove about five hundred yards away and it lit up the area for a moment"What's the artillery doin' up this close?" Wilson asked
    "It's cannon company," someone told him"All a man does is sit around an' get his tail wet
    "It seems to me," Goldstein said formally, "that they're managing this thing very poorly His voice was eager as if he were hoping for a discussion
    "You bitching again, Goldstein?" Croft asked
    The anti-Semite, Goldstein thought"I'm just expressing my opinion," he said
    "Opinion!" Croft spat"A bunch of goddam women have opin

    she said"She needs caring, and I can't do no more
    Scarlett held her breath"I will, Mammy," Rhett said
    The command was faint, but stern"I swear it," said Rhett

    officer's command; it was his voiceGod in
    heaven, that was the one voice in all the world she'd hoped never to
    hear again as long as she livedShe had to be wrong, she was so
    tired, that was it, she was imagining things, inventing nightmares

    what she wanted him to doGo away and leave her and her cousin
    and
    her town aloneShe balenciaga city dropped the horse's reins and strode forward
    "Charles?" Just as she called his name, Charles Ragland shouted,
    "halt!" he fired his revolver into the air"Charles
    Ragland, have you gone crazy?" she shoutedThere was the crack of
    a
    second shot, drowning out her words, and Ragland seemed to jump
    into
    the air, then fall sprawling
    Scarlett started to run"Charles, Charles!" She chanel ceramic watch heard more shots,
    heard shouting, ignored it all"Charles!"
    "Scarlett!" she heard, and "Scarlett!" from another direction, and

    @@@@@The Japanese heard it, sprang to their feet with sudden cries, and moved a few steps uncertainly back and forth in the tiny circle of the drawRed watched the expression of terror on one soldier's face, heard the sizzling of the grenade, the sound mixing with the ringing in his ears and the pounding of his heart, and then dropped to the ground as Croft lofted the grenade into the drawRed grasped his tommy gun and stared intently at a blade of grassHe had time before the grenade exploded to wish he had cleaned his gun that morningHe heard a terrifying shriek, thought once of the soldier with the broad face, and then found himself afoot, crashing and stumbling through the brush
    The three of them halted on the edge of the draw and looked downAll four of the Japanese soldiers were lying motionless in the trampled kunai grassCroft gazed at them and spat softly"Go down and take a look," he told Red
    Red slid down the bank to the gully where the bodies lay sprawledHe could tell at a glance that two of the men were certainly dead; one of them reposed on his back with his hands clawed over the bloody mash of what had once been his face, and the other was crumpled on his side with a great rent in his chestThe other two men had fallen on their stomachs and he could see no wounds
    "Finish them off," Croft shouted down to him
    "Finish them off
    Red felt a pulse of angerIf it'd been anyone else but me, the bastard would have done it himself, he thoughtHe stood over one of the motionless bodies, and brought the sights of his tommy gun to bear on the back of the soldier's headHe took a little breath, and then fired a burstHe felt nothing except the rising quivering motion of the gun in his handsAfter he had fired, he noticed that it was the soldier who had been sitting with his rifle across his thighsThere was an instant in which he hovered on the lip of an intense anxiety, but he repressed it and strode over to the last soldier
    As he looked down upon him, Red felt a wash of many transient subtle emotionsIf he had been asked, he might have said, "I didn't feel a goddam thing," but the back of his neck was numb, and his heart was beating rapidlyHe had an intense distaste for what he was about to do, and yet as he stared at the body and pointed his sights at the man's neck, he was feeling a pleasurable anticipationHe tightened his finger on the trigger, taking up the slack, tensing himself for the moment when he would fire and the slugs would make round little holes in a cluster, and the corpse would twitch and shake under the force of the bullet

    @@@@@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

    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? Carlos was a master of the turn-aro

    @@@@@6 (the ship now looming over the
    rowboat), the little girl was wearing what
    appeared to be a blue singlet with a yellow stripe
    around the neckHer hair in that one was orangeish;
    it was the only Rowboat Girl whose identity I
    wasn't sure ofMaybe it was Ilse, since the
    others werebut I wasn't entirely convincedIn
    this one the first few rose-petals had begun to
    725
    appear on the water (plus one single yellow-green
    tennis ball with the letters DUNL visible on it),
    and an odd assortment of geegaws were heaped on
    deck: a tall mirror (which, reflecting the sunset,
    appeared filled with blood), a child's rocking
    horse, a steamer trunk, a pile of shoesThese
    same objects appeared in No8, where
    they had been joined by several others - a young
    girl's bicycle leaning against the foremast, a
    pile of tires stacked on the stern, a great
    hourglass at midshipsThis last also reflected
    the sun and appeared to be full of blood instead
    of sand8 there were more
    rose-petals floating between the rowboat and the
    PerseThere were more tennis balls, too, at least
    half a dozenAnd a rotting garland of flowers
    hung around the neck of the rocking horseI could
    almost smell the stench of their perfume on the
    still air
    "Dear God," Elizabeth whispered"She has grown so
    strong There had been color in her face but now
    it was all goneShe didn't look eighty-five; she
    looked two hundred
    Who? I tried to ask, but nothing came outyou shouldn't tax
    yourself," Pam said"Can you get her a glass of
    water?"
    "I will, Dad," Illy said
    Elizabeth was still staring at Girl and Ship Nodo you
    recognize?" she askedThe
    girl in the rowboat of No8 was no souvenir, but
    she was IlseThe green dress, with its bare back
    and crisscrossing straps, had seemed jarringly
    sexy for a little girl, but now I knew why: it was
    a dress Ilse had bought recently, from a mailorder
    catalogue, and Ilse was no longer a little
    girlOtherwise, the tennis balls were still a
    mystery to me, the mirror meant nothing, nor did

    As he watched them pass their packs across and leap over, his fear increasedIt was the kind of thing he had never been able to do, and a trace of an old panic he had known in gym classes when he waited for his turn on the high bar rose up to torment him

    murder had been an accepted part of lifeThe various tortures they'd devised over the few

    overviewsWars had raged over the face of nearly every continentSanctioned murder, ordered
    and viciously effectiveThose who lived in peaceful nations had looked the other way as
    members of their own species starved on their doorstepThere was no equality to the
    distribution of the planet's bounteous resourcesMost vile yet, their offspring–the next
    generation, which my kind nearly worshipped for their promise–had all too often been victims of
    heinous crimesAnd not just at the hands of strangers, but at the hands of the caretakers they
