    even if it was one of those jokes that ladies had to pretend not to
    understandso I says to myself, 'Bill, one man's panic is
    another man's profit, and I know which one of those men old Bill's
    going to be" Scarlett started to turn awayShe wanted to have a
    good time tonight, and talking about the Panic wasn't her idea of
    fun
    Still, maybe she'd learn somethingShe was smarter when she was
    sound
    asleep than Bill Weller was on his best day, she was sure of thatIf
    he was making money out of the Panic, she wanted to know how he
    was
    doing itQuietly she stepped closerthese dumb Southerners,
    they been a problem for me ever since I come down here," Bill was
    confessing"You just can't do nothing with a man who don't have
    natural human greed, so all the triple-your-money bond deals and
    certificates for gold mines that I turned loose on them laid a big
    egg
    They was working harder than any nigger ever did and putting by
    every
    nickel they earned for the next rainy dayTurned out that plenty of
    'em had a boxful of bonds and such alreadyFrom the Confederate

    Clayton CountyShe tried to walk away, but she was hemmed in by
    people behind her who'd also been attracted by the laughter in the
    group around Bill Weller"I got the picture after a while," Weller
    went on"They just didn't put much trust in paperNor nothing else
    that I tried, neitherI sent out medicine shows and lightning rods
    and all the sure-fire money-makers, but none of them so much as
    struck
    a sparkI tell you, boys, it hurt my pride He made a lugubrious
    face, then grinned widely, showing three large gold molars"I don't
    have to tell you that me and Lula wasn't exactly going to go wanting if
    I didn't come up with somethingIn the good, fat days when the

    @@@@@The guard instantly clutched his weapon
    @@@@@The guard instantly
    clutched his weapon under his left arm and effortlessly caught the leather missile in midairNous partons! Vite!” shouted the second man, gesturing for the other two on the
    brick steps to precede him down to the vanThey did so, the man in the raincoat joining the guard
    at’ the rear doors, the woman accompanying the one who gave the ordersThe Jackal? Was it
    Carlos? Was it?
    Bourne desperately wanted to believe that it was—therefore, it was! The sound of the vehicle’s
    curbside door slamming shut was followed rapidly by the gunning of the vehicle’s powerful engine;
    both were a signalThe three other guards raced from their posts to the rear doors of the vanOne
    by one they climbed up inside after the man in the black raincoat, their legs stretched, arms bracing
    shoulders, curved hands gripping the two metal frames that with instant muscular strain propelled
    them inside as their weapons were thrown in front of themThen a pair of hands reached out for the
    interior door handles—
    Now! Bourne pulled the pin of the grenade and lurched to his feet, running as he had never run
    in his life toward the swinging rear doors of the vanHe dived, twisting his body in flight, landing
    on his back as he gripped the left panel and threw the grenade inside, the bomb’s release in his

    handSix seconds and it would detonateJason got to his knees, arms extended, and crashed the
    doors shutA fusillade of gunfire eruptedBut it was an unintended miracle—as the Jackal’s van
    was bulletproof, it was also impervious to bullets shot from within! There were no penetrations of
    the steel, only thuds and the screaming whistles of ricochets and the screams of the wounded
    inside
    The glistening vehicle shot forward on the boulevard Lefebvre as Bourne sprang to a crouch and
    raced toward the deserted storefronts on the east side of the streetHe was nearly across the wide
    avenue when the impossible happenedThe impossible!
    The Jackal’s van blew up, the explosion firing the dark Paris sky, and the moment it happened a
    brown limousine screeched around the nearest corner, the windows open, men in the black spaces,
    weapons in their grips, spraying the entire area with thunderous, indiscriminate fireJason lunged
    into the nearest recess, curling up into a fetal position in the shadows, accepting the fact—not in
    fear but in fury—that it might well be his last moments of lifeFailed Marie and his
    children! He spun off the concrete, the weapon in his handHe would kill, kill!
    That was the way of Jason Bourne
    Then the incredible happenedA siren? The police? The brown limousine shot
    forward, skirting the flaming wreck of the Jackal’s van and disappeared into the dark streets as a
    patrol car raced out of the opposing darkness, its siren screaming, the tires screeching as it skidded
    to a stop only yards from the flames of the demolished vehicleNothing made sense! thought Jason
    Where before there had been five patrol cars, only one had returnedWhy? And even that question
    was superflu

    “Taisez-vous!”
    “That means shut up,” explained BourneI hear it a lot—”
    “Listen to meWithin the next few minutes the bartender in there may come out looking for me
    He may, he also may not, I simply don’t knowHe’s the large bald man wearing glassesDo either
    of you know him?”
    The American shrugged, but the Belgian nodded his floating head, his lips flat until he spoke
    “His name is Santos and he is espagnol
    “Spanish?”

    Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, thought JasonCarlos the Jackal, Venezuelan by birth, rejected terrorist,
    whom even the Soviets could not handleOf course he would return to his own“How well do you
    know him?”
    It was the Belgian’s turn to shrug“He is the complete authority where Le Coeur du Soldat is
    concernedHe has been known to crush men’s heads if they behave too badlyHe always takes off
    his glasses first, and that is the first sign that something will happen that even proven soldiers do
    not care to witnessIf he is coming out here to see you, I would advise you to leave
    “He may come because he wants to see me, not because he wants to harm me
    “That is not Santos—”

    itching to danceIn Georgia, she thought impatiently, the people
    giving the party come forward to meet their guestsThey don't keep
    them waiting in line like a chain gang
    It's a sight more welcoming than this foolishnessJust before she
    followed MrsButler into the room, a dignified manservant offered her
    a trayA pile of folded papers was on it, little booklets held
    together by thin blue twine with a tiny pencil hanging from it
    Dance cards? They must be dance cardsScarlett had heard Mammy
    talk
    about balls in Savannah when Ellen O 'Hara was a girl, but she'd never
    quite believed that parties were so peaceful that a girl looked in a
    book to see who she was supposed to dance with
    Why, the Tarleton twins and the Fontaine boys would have split their
    britches laughing if anyone told them they had to write their names on
    a tiny piece of paper with a little pencil so dinky that it would break
    in a real man's fingers! She wasn't even sure she wanted to dance
    with
    the kind of pantywaist who'd be willing to do thatYes, she was! She
    was sure she'd dance with the devil himself, horns and tail and all,
    just to be able to danceIt seemed like ten years, not one, since the
    Masquerade Ball in Atlanta"I'm so happy to be here," said Scarlett
    to Minnie Wentworth, and her voice throbbed with sincerityShe
    smiled
    at all the other Wentworths, each in turn, and then she was through
    the
    lineShe turned toward the dancing, her feet already moving in time
    to the music, and she drew in her breathOh, it was so beautiful-so
    strange and yet so familiar, like a dream she only half-remembered
    The candlelit room was alive with music, with the colors and rustling
    of whirling skirtsAlong the walls dowagers were sitting in fragile
    gold-painted chairs just as they always had, whispering behind their
    fans to one another about the things they had always whispered
    about:
    the young people who were dancing too close together, the latest
    horror
    story of someone's daughter's prolonged childbirth, the newest scandal
    about their dearest friendsWaiters in full-dress suits moved from
    group to group of men and women who weren't dancing with silver
    trays
    of filled glasses and frosted silver julep cupsThere was a hum of
    blended voices, punctuated by laughter, high and deep, the age-old
    beloved noise of fortunate light-hearted people enjoying themselves
    It was as if the old world, the beautiful carefree world of her youth,
    still existed, as if nothing was changed, and there had never been a
    WarHer sharp eyes could see the scabby paint on the walls and the
    spur-gouges in the floor under the layers of wax, but she refused to
    noticeBetter to enter the illusion, to forget the War and the Yankee
    patrols on the street outsideThere was music and there was dancing
    and Rhett had promised to be niceNothing more was need

    “Good to see you, Frank The DCI shook hands with the former interpreter“You may

    carpet or no carpetI could have sprained my neck,
    or even broken it
    I lay there a moment, confirming to myself that I
    was still alive, then got to my knees, my hip
    aching fiercely, holding my throbbing right arm up
    in front of my eyesThere was no arm thereI set
    my chair up on its legs, leaned on it with my left
    forearmthen darted my head forward and bit my
    right arm
    I felt the crescents of my teeth sink in just
    below the elbowI felt the flesh of my forearm
    against my lipsThen I drew back, panting"Jesus!
    Jesus! What's happening? What is this?"
    I almost expected to see the arm swirl into
    existenceIt didn't, but it was there, all right
    I reached across the seat of my chair for one of
    my brushesI could feel my fingers grasp it, but
    the brush didn't moveI thought: So this is what
    it's like to be a ghost
    I scrambled into the chairMy hip was snarling,
    but that pain seemed to be happening far downriver
    With my left hand I snatched up the brush I'd
    cleaned and put it behind my left earCleaned

    I pressed against it with gentle pressure, tenderly massagingKindness was always the way of
    the souls
    And, though the soul could not hear me, it obeyedThe harp strings loosened, went slackI
    could feel the slither as they retracted, feel the slight swelling of the body as it absorbed them
    The process took no more than a few beats of my heartI held my breath until I felt the soul
    undulate under my touch
    I let it twist itself a little farther out, and then I curled my fingers gently around the tiny, fragile
    bodyI lifted it, silver and gleaming, wet with blood that was quickly shed from the smooth
    casing, and cradled it in my handThe soul whose name I'd never known billowed like a silver wave in my
    hand… a lovely feathered ribbon
    I couldn't hate the Seeker in this formAn almost maternal love swept through me
    “Sleep well, little one,” I whispered
    I turned toward the faint hum of the cryotank, just to my leftJared held it low and angled, so it
    was a simple matter for me to ease the soul into the shockingly cold air that gusted from the
    openingI let it slide into the small space and then carefully relatched the lid
    I took the cryotank from Jared, easing it rather than tugging it, turning it with care until it was
    vertical, and then I hugged it to my chestThe outside of the tank was the same temperature as
    the warm roomI cradled it to my body, protective as any mother
    I looked back at the stranger on the tableDoc was already dust-ing Smooth over the sealed
