    “But why is he here, mon?” the second commando asked his colleagueSaint Jay said the
    Crown police are not told everything, they are not part of usHe has Crown boats, six or seven, running back and forth with orders to stop
    anyone leaving TranquilityThey are drug boats, monSir Henry calls it a patrol exercise, so
    naturally the chief of investigations must be—” The lilting whisper of the West Indian trailed off in
    midsentence as he looked at his companionThen why isn’t he out on the water, mon? On the
    lead boat, mon?”

    “Do you like him?” asked Bourne instinctively, surprising himself by his own question“I mean,
    do you respect him? I could be wrong but I seem to sense something—”
    “You are not wrong, sir,” answered the first guard, interrupting“The provost is a cruel man and
    he doesn’t like the ‘Punjabis,’ as he calls usHe’s very quick to accuse us, and many have lost work
    because of his rash accusations
    “Why don’t you complain, get rid of him? The British will listen to you
    “The Crown governor will not, sir,” explained the second guard“He’s very partial to his strict
    chief of narcoticsThey are good friends and often go out after the big fish together Jason did see and was suddenly alarmed, very alarmed“Saint Jay told me there used to
    be a path behind the chapelHe said it might be overgrown, but he thought it was still there
    “It is,” confirmed the first commando“The help still use it to go down to the water on their off
    times
    “How long is it?”
    “Thirty-five, forty metersIt leads to an incline where steps have been cut out of the rocks that
    take one down to the beach
    “Which of you is faster?” asked Bourne, reaching into his pocket and taking out the reel of
    fishing line
    “I am!”
    “I choose you,” said Jason, nodding his head at the shorter first guard, handing him the reel“Go
    down on the border of that path and wherever you can, string this line across it, tying it to limbs or
    trunks or the strongest branches you can findYou mustn’t be seen, so be alert, see in the dark
    “Is no problem, mon!”
    “Have you got a knife?”

    @@@@@Kamen would have called a
    recovered memory, I suppose - was goneUntil that
    afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't
    known dogs could scream
    I broke into a lurching, crabwise run, pounding
    the sidewalk with my red crutchI'm sure it would
    have appeared ludicrous to an onlooker, but no one
    42
    was paying any attention to meMonica Goldstein
    was kneeling in the middle of the street beside
    her dog, which lay in front of the Hummer's high,
    boxy grilleHer face was white above her forestgreen
    uniform, from which a sash of badges and
    medals hungThe end of this sash was soaking in a
    spreading pool of Gandalf's bloodFevereau half-jumped and half-fell from the
    Hummer's ridiculously high driver's seatAva
    Goldstein came running from the front door of the
    Goldstein house, crying her daughter's name
    Goldstein's blouse was half-buttoned
    "Don't touch him, honey, don't touch him," MrsShe was still holding her cigarette
    and she puffed nervously at it
    Monica paid no attentionShe stroked Gandalf's
    sideThe dog screamed again when she did - it was
    a scream - and Monica covered her eyes with the
    heels of her handsShe began to shake her headFevereau reached out for the girl, but
    changed her mindShe took two steps back, leaned
    43
    against the high side of her Hummer, and looked up
    at the skyGoldstein knelt beside her daughter"Honey,
    oh honey please don't
    Gandalf lay in the street, in a pool of his
    spreading blood, howlingAnd now I could also
    remember the sound the crane had madeNot the
    meep-meep-meep it was supposed to make (its backup
    warning had been broken), but the juddering
    stutter of its diesel engine and the sound of its
    treads eating up the earth

    A park bench is really too small for a man to sleep comfortablyIf his feet dangle over the edge, the slats cut into the back of his knees, and if he draws them up, he awakens with a cramp in his thighFor a skinny man, it's impossible to sleep on his sideThe boards grate against his hipbones, and his shoulder becomes stiffHe has to lie on his back with his knees propped toward the sky, and his hands under his head; when he gets up his fingers are numb for many minutes

    I felt as if I were standing on the edge of Walter's grave again, listening to the sound of sand
    falling into the darkness
    “No,” I moaned, fighting against the memory
    I turned mechanically and started walking with stiff strides toward the exit
    “Wait,” Ian said, but he didn't pull against the hand he still held
    Jeb caught up to me on the other side and shoved more food into my free hand
    “Eat for the kid's sake,” he said

    “No, no,” Ian assured me quickly
    I didn't even feel relief
    I would have gone into that room again for Jamie, even if it was still reeking of blood
    I didn't see the familiar caves I walked throughI barely noticed that it was dayI couldn't meet

    "Hell, we'll make it Dalleson wiped the sweat out of his eyes again, bent over, and stared at his kneesHis heart was beating a little rapidly"You snap it soon's you hear the carbine go off," he growled
    Up went the pebble and his rifle pointing after itThere was a panicky instant when he couldn't locate it in his sights, and then as it started to fall he caught it over the front-leaf sight, adjusted instinctively, and felt the reassuring minor jolt of the stock, the slight kick, as he pressed the trigger
    "I got it that time, Major
    Ripples on the water were still spreading from the fragments of the pebble"Goddam," Dalleson said again with enjoyment"I appreciate this, Leach

    Wilson rubbed his tongue against the dry edge of his teeth"Oh, men, Ah'm thirsty," he chantedHe twisted on the litter, holding up his head toward the leaden glaring sky, his throat poised on the edge of a delicious blissAny moment they would give him some water and the torture of his tongue and palate would be assuaged"Men, gimme a drink," Wilson muttered"Le's have some water

    out behind, just below the base of her skull

    end its terrible half-life and perhaps by doing so
    warn off the two baby-horrors before they can get
    too closeAnd she thinks (so far as she can think)

    closed on poor Adie's, and she can only gurgle
    Her left arm is free, however, the one with the

    In spite of this conviction, however, she was gladSimple as such an

    “Upon my word, Fanny, you are in high luck to meet with such
