Carlos opened the suitcase; it held a coarse shirt, a Portuguese fisherman?s cap with the
appropriate rope-belted trousers, and a seaman?s shoulder-strapped canvas satchel?Why these??
asked the Jackal
?They?re loose-fitting and I haven?t seen you in years?not since M?laga in the early seventies, I
thinkI couldn?t very well have clothes tailored for you, and I?m glad I didn?t try?you are not as I
remembered you, Ramirez
?You?re not much larger than I remember you,? countered the assassin?A little thicker around
the stomach, perhaps, but we?re still the same height, the same basic frame
?So? What does that mean??
?In a momentHave things changed a great deal since we were together here??
?ConstantlyPhotographs arrive and construction crews follow a day laterThe Prado here in
?Madrid? has new shops, new signs, even a few new sewers as they are changed in that cityAlso
?Lisbon? and the piers along the ?Bay? and fendi spy bags ?Tagus River? have been altered to conform to the
changes that have taken placeWe are nothing if not authenticThe candidates who complete the
training are literally at home wherever they?re initially sentSometimes I really believe it?s all
excessive, then I recall my first assignment at the naval base in Barcelona and realize how
comfortable I wasI went right to work because the psychological orientation had already taken
place; there were no major surprises
?You?re describing appearances,? broke in Carlos
?Of course, what else is there??
?More permanent structures that are not so apparent, not so much in evidence
?Such as??
?Warehouses, fuel depots, fire stations, that are not part of the duplicated sceneryAre they still
where they were??
?By and large, yesCertainly the major warehouses and the fuel depots with their underground
tanksMost are still west of the ?San Roque? district, the ?Gibraltar? white chanel j12 watch access
?What about going from one compound to another??
?Now that has changed Enrique withdrew a small flat object from the pocket of his tunic
?Each border crossing has a computerized registration release that permits entry when this is
inserted
?No questions are asked??
?Only at Novgorod?s Capital Headquarters, if there are any questions
?I don?t understand
?If one of these is lost or stolen, it?s reported instantly and the internal codes are nullified
?I don?t! Why these questions? Again, why are you here? What is this lesson, this message??
?The ?San Roque? district ?? said Carlos, as if remembering?That?s about three or four
kilometers south of the tunnel, isn?t it? A small waterfront village, no??
?The ?Gibraltar? access, yes
?And the next compound is ?France,? of course, and then ?England? and finally the largest, the
?United States Yes, it?s all clear to me; everything?s come back The Jackal turned away, quilted chanel bag his
right hand awkwardly disappearing beneath his trousers
?Yet nothing is clear to me,? said Enrique, his low voice threateningWhy are you here??
?How dare you question me like this?? continued Carlos, his back to his old associate?How
dare any of you question the monseigneur from Paris
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
423
?You listen to me, Priest Piss AntYou answer me or I walk out of here and you?re a dead
monseigneur in a matter of minutes!?
?Very well, Enrique,? answered Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, addressing the paneled wall of the
sacristy?My message will be triumphantly clear and will shake the very foundations of the
KremlinNot only did Carlos the Jackal kill the weak pretender Jason Bourne on Soviet soil, he left
a reminder to all Russia that the Komitet made a colossal error in not utilizing my extraordinary
talents
?Really now,? said Enrique, laughing softly, as if humoring a far less than faux gucci bag extraordinary man
?More melodramatics, Ramirez? And how will you convey this reminder, this message, this
supreme statement of yours??
?Quite simply,? replied the Jackal, turning, a gun in his hand, the silencer intact?We have to
change places
?What??
?I?m going to burn Novgorod Carlos fired a single shot into the upper throat of EnriqueHe
wanted as little blood as possible on the tunic
Dressed in combat fatigues with the insignias of an army major on the shoulders of his field
jacket, Bourne blended in with the sporadic appearances of military personnel as they crisscrossed
the American compound from one sector to another on their night patrolsThere were not many,
perhaps thirty men, covering the entire acreage of the eight square miles, according to BenjaminIn
the ?metropolitan? areas they were generally on foot, in pairs; in the ?rural? districts they drove
military vehiclesThe young trainer had requisitioned a replica tiffany je
