    “I'm surprised you got to Jeb,” he reflected, changing the subject“He's a canny old guyHe
    sees through deceptions so easily

    His words came in a sudden gush“The part that keeps bugging me is what if they're right?
    How the hell would I know? I hate the way their logic makes sense to meThere's got to be
    another explanation
    Melanie struggled again to speak, not as viciously as before, this time without hope of breaking
    throughI kept my arms and lips locked
    Jared moved, shifting away from the wall so that his body was turned toward meI watched the
    movement from the corner of my eye
    “Why are you here?” he whispered
    I peeked up at his faceIt was gentle, kind, almost the way Melanie remembered itI felt my
    control slipping; my lips trembledKeeping my arms locked took all my strengthI wanted to
    touch his faceMelanie did not like this
    If you won't let me talk, then at least keep your hands to yourself,she hissedWe were both hurting, different hurtsIt
    was hard to know who had it worse at the moment
    Jared watched me curiously while my eyes filled again
    “Why?” he asked softly“You know, Jeb has this crazy idea that you're here for me and Jam

    She'd turned her back on her husband, not seeing his love for her, not

    filled, keeping her from isolation and ostracismThere was only the
    cold wet wind beneath the umbrella in the place where Rhett should
    have

    heart

    me and wrapped his arms around my shouldersHe pulled me close against his chest–I could feel

    It felt very strange

    I shook my head frantically, making it throb in painJeb made the rules clearYou try to hurt someone here, there are penalties

    @@@@@when and push at Five Points was a tonic to
    @@@@@when and push at Five Points was a
    tonic to Scarlett's spiritSo was the disorder on her desk at the
    house
    She needed life and action around her after the numbing succession of
    deaths, and she needed work to doThere were stacks of newspapers
    to
    be read, piles of daily business accounts from the general store she
    owned in the very center of Five Points, mounds of bills to be paid,
    and circulars to tear up and throw away
    Scarlett sighed with pleasure and pulled her chair up close to the
    deskShe checked the freshness of the ink in its stand and the supply
    of nibs for her penThen she lit the lampIt would be dark long
    before she finished all this; maybe she'd even have her supper on a
    tray tonight while she workedShe reached eagerly for the store
    accounts, then her hands stopped in midair when a large square
    envelope on top of the newspapers caught her eyeIt was addressed
    simply "Scarlett," and the handwriting was Rhett'sI won't read it
    now, she thought at once, it'll just get in the way of all the things
    I've got to doI'm not worried about what's in it-not a bit-I just
    don't want to look at it nowI'll save it, she told herself, like for
    dessertAnd she picked up a handful of ledger sheetsBut she kept
    losing track of the arithmetic she was doing in her and finally she
    threw the accounts downHer fingers tore the sealed envelope open
    Believe me, Rhett's letter began, when Isay that you have my deepest
    sympathy in your bereavement Mammy's death il a great lossI am
    grate4l that you nortfed me in time for me to see her before she
    went
    Scarlett looked up in a rage from the thick black pen strokes and
    spoke
    aloud"'Grateful,' my foot!
    So you could lie to her and to me, you varmint She wished she could
    burn the letter and throw the ashes in Rhett's face, shouting the words
    at himOh, she'd get even with him for shaming her in front of
    Suellen and WillNo matter how long she had to wait and plan, she'd
    find a way somehowHe had no right to treat her that way, to treat
    Mammy that way, to make a sham out of her last wishes like thatI'll
    burn it now, I won't even read the rest, I don't have to put my eyes to
    any more of hislies! Her hand fumbled for the box of matches, but
    when
    she held it, she dropped it at

    lateThe left door of the chapel opened and the silhouetted figure of a man walked out into the
    Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
    169
    floodlit corridor of colored lightsHe was young, muscular and blond, with blunt features and rigid
    postureWas the Jackal training someone else to take his place?
    “Come with me, please,” said the blond man, his French gentle but icily commanding“You,”
    he added, addressing the old man in the tan gabardine suitAt the slightest
    sound, fire your gun
    Jason watched helplessly as Fontaine was escorted through the door of the chapelFrom the
    pocket of his jacket there was an eruption of static followed by a snap; the Frenchman’s radio had
    been found and destroyedYet something was wrong, off center, out of balance—or perhaps too
    symmetricalIt made no sense for Carlos to use the location of a failed trap a second time, no sense
    at all! The appearance of the brother of Fontaine’s wife was an exceptional move, worthy of the
    Jackal, a truly unexpected move within the swirling winds of confusion, but not this, not again
    Tranquility Inn’s superfluous chapelIt was too orderly, too repetitive, too obvious
    And therefore right? considered BourneWas it the illogical logic of the assassin who had
    eluded a hundred special branches of the international intelligence community for nearly thirty
    years? “He wouldn’t do that—it’s crazy!” “Oh, yes, he might because he knows we think it’s
    crazy Was the Jackal in the chapel or wasn’t he? If not, where was he? Where had he set his trap?
    The lethal chess game was not only supremely intricate, it was sublimely intimateOthers might
    die, but only one of them would liveIt was the only way it could endDeath to the seller of death
    or death to the challenger, one seeking the preservation of a legend, the other seeking the
    preservation of his family and himselfCarlos had the advantage; ultimately he would risk
    everything, for, as Fontaine revealed, he was a dying man and he did not careBourne had
    everything to live for, a middle-aged hunter whose life was indelibly marked, split in two by the
    death of a vaguely remembered wife and children long ago in far-off CambodiaIt could not, would
    not, happen again!
    Jason slid down off the coastal wall to the slanting precipice at its baseHe crawled forward to
    the two former commandos and whispered, “They’ve taken Fontaine inside
    “Where is the guard?” asked the man nearest Bourne, confusion and anger in his whi

    @@@@@My main
    problem, however, was hungerIt was what had
    54
    driven me out in the first placeOnly hunger was
    too mild a word for what I was feelingI was
    ravenous, and the leftover lasagna in the fridge
    wouldn't doThere was meat in it, but not enough
    I lurched into the house on my crutch, head
    swimming from the Oxycontin, got a frypan from the
    drawer under the stove, and slung it onto one of
    the burnersI turned the dial to HIGH, barely
    hearing the flump of igniting gasI was too busy
    tearing the plastic wrap from a package of ground
    sirloinI threw it in the frypan and mashed it
    flat with the palm of my hand before scrabbling a
    spatula out of the drawer beside the stove
    Coming back into the house, shucking my clothes
    and climbing into the shower, I'd been able to
    mistake the flutters in my stomach for nausea - it
    seemed like a reasonable explanationBy the time
    I was rinsing away the soap, though, the flutters
    had settled into a steady low rumble like the idle
    of a powerful motorThe drugs had damped it down
    a little bit, but now it was back, worse than ever
    If I'd ever been this hungry in my life, I
    couldn't remember when
    55
    I flipped the grotesquely large meat-patty and
    tried to count to thirtyI figured a thirty-count
    on high heat would be at least a nod in the
    direction of what people mean when they say
    "cooking meat If I'd thought to flip on the fan
    and vent the aroma, I might have made itAs it
    was, I didn't even get to twentyAt seventeen I
    snatched a paper plate, flipped the hamburger onto
    it, and wolfed the half-raw ground beef while I
    leaned against the cabinetAbout halfway through
    I saw the red juice seeping out of the red meat
    and got a momentary but brilliant picture of
    Gandalf looking up at me while blood and shit
    oozed from the wrecked remains of his hindquarters,
    matting the fur on his broken rear legsMy
    stomach didn't so much as quiver, just cried
    impatiently for more food
    xi
    That night I dreamed I was in the bedroom I had
    shared for so many years with PamShe was asleep
    beside me and couldn't hear the croaking voice
    56
    coming from somewhere below in the darkened house:
    "Newly wed, nearly dead, newly wed, nearly dead
    It sounded like some mechanical device stuck in a
    grooveI shook my wife but she just turned overDreams mostly tell the truth,
    don't they?
    I got up and went downstairs, holding the banister
    to compensate for my bad

    @@@@@I felt the
    stone wall touch my back, press against itHe used it to bind me even closerThere was no part
    of me that wasn't fused to part of him
    It was just the two of us, so close that we hardly counted as two
    Ian felt it when I gave upHe must have been waiting for this–not as entirely ruled by his body
    as I'd imaginedHe eased back as soon as my arms went limp, but kept his face next to mine,
    the tip of his nose touching the tip of mine
    I dropped my arms, and he took a deep breathSlowly, he loosened both his hands and then
    placed them lightly on my shoulders
    “She's not here,” I whispered, still breathing in gasps
    “Melanie?”
    “I can't hear her! Ian, how can I go back in to Jamie? He'll know that I'm lying! How can I tell
    him that I've lost his sisternow? Ian, he's sick! I can't tell him that! I'll upset him, make it harder
    for him to get wellI –”
    Ian's fingers pressed against my lipsLet's think about thisWhen was the last
    time you heard her?”
    “Oh, Ian! It was right after I saw… in the hospitalAnd she tried to defend them… and I
    screamed at her… and I–I made her go away! And I haven't heard her sinceI can't find her!”
    “Shh,” he said againNow, what do you really want? I know you don't want to
    upset Jamie, but he's going to be fine regardlessSo, consider–would it be better, just for you, if
    –”
    “No! I can't erase Melanie! I can'tThat would be wrong! That would make me a monster,
    too!”
    “Okay, okay! OkaySo we have to find her?”
    I nodded urgently
    He took another deep breath“Then you need to… really be overwhelmed, don't you?”
    “I don't know what you mean
    I was afraid I did, though
    Kissing Ian was one thing–even a pleasant thing, maybe, if I wasn't so racked with worry–but
    anything more… elaborate… Could I? Mel would be furious if I used her body that wayWas
    that what I had to do to find her? But what about Ian? It was so grossly unfair to h

    grenades from his pockets—grenades he was loath to part with—pulled the pins, and hurled both
    toward the gateThe massive explosions blew the barricade away and instantly set the graveled
    road on fire, the leaping flames immediate—enveloping him! He had no choice; he threw the hot
    flare away and sped through the tunnel of fire into Novgorod’s final largest compoundAs he did
    so the concrete guardhouse at the “English” border exploded; glass, stone and shards of metal shot
    out and up everywhere
    He had been so filled with anxiety on their way to the crossing into “Spain” that he barely
    recalled the diminutive replicas of the “American” cities and towns, much less the fastest routes
    that led to the tunnelHe had merely followed young Benjamin’s harsh shouted commands, but he
    did remember that the California-bred trainer kept referring to the “coast road—like Route One,
    man, up to Carmel!” It was, of course, those streets closest to the Volkhov, which in turn became,
    in no order of geographical sequence, a shoreline in “Maine,” the Potomac River of “Washington,”
    and the northern waters of Long Island Sound that housed the naval base at “New London
    The madness had reached “America Police cars, their sirens wailing, sped through the streets,
    men shouting into radios as people in various stages of dress and undress ran out of buildings and
    stores, screaming about the terrible earthquake that had hit this leg of the Volkhov, one even more
    severe than the catastrophe in ArmeniaEven with the surest knowledge of devastating infiltration,
    the leaders of Novgorod could not reveal the truthIt was as if the seismic geologists of the world
    were forgotten, their discoveries unfoundedThe giant forces beneath the earth did not collide and
    erupt in terrible swift immediacy; instead, they worked in relays, sending a series of crippling body
    blows from north to southWho questions authority in the panic of survival? Everyone in
    “America” was being prepared, primed for what they knew not
    They found out roughly ten minutes after the destruction of a large part of the diminutive “Great
    Britain Bourne reached the compressed, miniaturized outlines of “Washington, D when the
    conflagration beganThe first to plunge into flames, the sound of its detonation delayed only by
    milliseconds, was the wooden duplicate of the Capitol dome; it blew into the yellowed sky like the
    thin, hollow replica it wasMoments later—only moments—the Washington Monument, centered
    in its patch of grassy park, crumpled with a distant boom as if its false base had been shoveled
    away by a thunderous ground-moving machineIn seconds the artificial set piece that was the
    White House collapsed in flames, the explosions dulled both audibly and visibly, for “Pennsylvania
    Avenue” was awash in fire

    Bourne knew where he was nowThe tunnel was between “Washington” and “New London,
    Connecticut”! It was no more than five minutes away! He drove the jeep down to the street
    paralleling the river, and again there were frightened, hysterical crowdsThe police were shouting
    through loudspeakers, first in English and then in Russian, explaining the terrible consequences if
    anyone tried to swim across the water, the searchlights swinging back and forth, picking up the
    floating bodies of those who had tried in the northern compounds
    “The tunnel, the tunnel! Open the tunnel!”
    The screams from the excited crowds became a chant that could not physically be denied; the
    underground pipeline was about to be assaultedJason leaped out of the surrounded jeep, pocketing
    the remaining three flares, and propelled his way, arms and shoulders working furiously, often
    fruitlessly, through the crushing, crashing bodiesThere was nothing else for it; he pulled out a
    flare and ripped the release from its reces

    @@@@@Its deck was desertedThere was
    something horrible in every angular line, and
    although it was impossible to say just what, you
    feared for the little girl alone in her rowboat,
    the little girl who first appeared in a tic-tactoe
    dress, the little girl afloat on the wine-dark
    Gulf
    724
    In that first version, the angle of the deathship
    was wrong to see anything of the name2, the angle had improved but the little
    girl (still with the false red hair and now also
    wearing Reba's polka-dotted dress) blocked out all
    but the letter P3, P had become PER and
    Reba had pretty clearly become Ilse, even back-to
    John Eastlake's spear-pistol lay in the rowboat
    If Elizabeth recognized this, she gave no
    indicationI pushed her slowly up the line as the
    ship bulked larger and closer, its black masts
    looming like fingers, its sails sagging like dead
    fleshThe furnace sky glared through the holes in
    the canvasNow the name on the transom was PERSE
    There might have been more - there was room for
    more - but if so, it was hidden by shadows6 (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

    empty buildings," she gasped"I'm awash with tea and foundering

    all the cake in my stomachDid we really have to eat and drink in
    every single place?" Scarlett darling, how can you call it a visit if
    there's no hospitality offered and received? If you were a man, it
    would have been whiskey and not tea"Cat might
    have loved that February I was considered the beginning of the farm
    year in IrelandAccompanied by everyone who worked and lived in
    Ballyhara, Scarlett stood in the center of a big field and, after
    saying a prayer for the success of the crops, sank a spade into the
    earth, lifted and turned the first sodNow the year could begin
    After the feast of applecake-and milk, of course, because February I
    was also the feast day of Saint Brigid, Ireland's other patron saint,
    who was also patron saint of the dairyWhen everyone was eating
    and
    talking after the ceremony, Scarlett knelt by the opened earth and
    took
    up a handful of the rich loam"This is for you, Pa," she murmured
    "See, Katie Scarlett hasn't forgotten what you told her, that the land
    of County Meath is the best in the world, better even than the land of
    Georgia, of TaraI'll do my best to tend it, Pa, and love it the way
    you taught meIt's O'Hara soil, and it's ours again The age-old
    progression of plowing and harrowing, planting and praying had a
    simple, hard-working dignity that won Scarlett's admiration and
    respect
    for all who lived by the landShe had felt it when she lived in
    Daniel's cottage and she felt it now for the farmers at BallyharaFor
    herself as well, because she was, in her own way, one of themShe
    hadn't the strength to drive the plow, but she could provide itAnd
    the horses to pull itAnd the seed to plant in the furrows it made
    The Estate Office was her home even more than her rooms in the Big
    HouseThere was another cradle for Cat by her desk, identical to the

    the faintest hint of moisture to it, a mustiness that I could both smell and taste
    There were so many questions in my mind, and in Melanie'sShe wanted to ask hers, but I kept
    silentThere was nothing either of us could say that would help us now
    “Okay, you can straighten up,” Jeb told me
    I raised my head slowly
    Even with the blindfold, I could tell that there was no lightIt was utterly black around the
    edges of the bandannaI could hear the others behind me, shuffling their feet impatiently,
    waiting for us to move forward
    “This way,” Jeb said, and he was guiding me againOur footsteps echoed back from close
    by–the space we were in must have been quite smallI found myself ducking my head
    instinctively
    We went a few steps farther, and then we rounded a sharp curve that seemed to turn us back
    the way we'd comeThe ground started to slant downwardThe angle got steeper with every
    step, and Jeb gave me his rough hand to keep me from fallingI don't know how long I slipped
    and skidded my way through the darknessThe hike probably felt longer than it was with each
    minute slowed by my terror
    We took another turn, and then the floor started to climb upwardMy legs were so numb and
    wooden that as the path got steeper, Jeb had to half drag me up the inclineThe air got mustier
    and moister the farther we went, but the blackness didn't changeThe only sounds were our
    footsteps and their nearby echoes
    The pathway flattened out and began to turn and twist like a serpent
    Finally, finally, there was a brightness around the top and bottom of my blindfoldI wished that
