    Carlos
    A furious Bernardine walked out of the Pont-Royal with the doorman, who had summoned him
    “This is preposterous!” he shouted as he approached the taxi“No, it’s not,” he amended, looking
    inside
    “Get in,” said Jason on the far side of the woman dressed in the habit of a nunFrancois did so,
    staring at the black clothes, the white pointed hat and the pale face of the religious female between
    them“Meet one of the Jackal’s more talented performers,” added Bourne“She could make a
    fortune in your cinéma-vérité, take my word for it
    “I’m not a particularly religious man, but I trust you have not made a mistakeI did—or
    should I say we did—with that pig of a baker
    “Why?”
    “He’s a baker, that’s all he is! I damn near put a grenade in his ovens, but no one but a French
    baker could plead the way he did!”
    “It fits,” said Jason“The illogical logic of Carlos—I can’t remember who said that, probably
    me The taxi made a U-turn and entered the rue du Bac“We’re going to the Meurice,” added
    Bourne
    “I’m sure there’s a reason,” stated Bernardine, still looking at the enigmatically passive face of
    Dominique Lavier“I mean, this sweet old lady says nothing
    “I’m not old!” cried the woman vehemently
    “Of course not, my dear,” agreed the Deuxième veteran“Only more desirable in your mature
    years
    “Boy, did you hit it!”
    “Why the Meurice?” asked Bernardine
    “It’s the Jackal’s final trap for me,” answered Bourne“Courtesy of our persuasive Magdalen
    Sister of Charity hereHe expects me to be there and I’ll be there

    @@@@@I think I remember saying "I'm going to
    @@@@@I think I remember
    saying "I'm going to make you into Monica Seles"
    when I set Reba down in front of the window, but
    it could as easily have been Monica Goldstein;
    when it comes to memory, we all stack the deck
    The gospel according to Wireman
    165
    I'm clearer than I want to be about most of what
    happened on Duma, but that particular afternoon
    seems very vague to meI know that I fell into a
    frenzy of drawing, and that the maddening itch in
    my nonexistent right arm disappeared completely
    while I was working; I do not know but am almost
    sure that the reddish haze which always hung over
    my vision in those days, growing thicker when I
    was tired, disappeared for awhile
    I don't know how long I was in that stateI think
    quite awhileLong enough so I was both exhausted
    and famished when I was finished
    I went back downstairs and gobbled lunchmeat by
    the fridge's frosty glowI didn't want to make an
    actual sandwich, because I didn't want Ilse to
    know I'd felt well enough to eatLet her go on
    thinking our problems had been caused by bad
    mayonnaiseThat way we wouldn't have to spend
    time hunting for other explanations
    None of the other explanations I could think of
    were rational
    After eating half a package of sliced salami and
    swilling a pint or so of sweet tea, I went into my
    bedroom, lay down, and fell into a sodden sleep
    Sometimes it seems to me that my clearest memories
    of Duma Key are of orange evening skies that bleed
    at the bottom and fade away at the top, green to
    blackWhen I woke up that evening, another day
    was going down in gloryI thudded into the big
    main room on my crutch, stiff and wincing (the
    first ten minutes were always the worst)The door
    to Ilse's room was standing open and her bed was
    empty
    For a moment there was no answerThen she called
    back from upstairs"Daddy? Holy crow, did you do
    this? When did you do this?"
    All thought of aches and pains left meI got up
    to Little Pink as fast as I could, trying to
    remember what I'd drawnWhatever it was, I hadn't
    made any effort to put it out of sightSuppose it
    was something really awful? Suppose I'd gotten the
    bright idea of doing a crucifixion caricature,
    with The Gospel Hummingbird riding the cross?
    167
    Ilse was standing in front of my easel, and I
    couldn't see what was thereHer body was blocking
    it outEven if she'd been standing to one side,
    the only light in the room was coming from that
    bloody sunset; the pad would have been nothing but
    a black rectangle against the gl

    @@@@@ There it was, the question she hadn't
    @@@@@
    There it was, the question she hadn't asked before;
    she'd been too fixated on how I'd found out about
    her and Tom in the first placeWell, Wireman
    wasn't the only one with sayings; my father had a
    few, as wellOne was, when a lie won't suffice,
    the truth will have to do
    "Since the accident, I've been painting," I said
    "So?"
    I told her about the sketch I'd drawn of her, Max
    from Palm Desert, and Tom RileyAbout some of my
    Internet explorations into the world of phantom
    limb phenomenaAnd about seeing Tom Riley
    standing at the head of the stairs in what I
    supposed was now my studio, naked except for his
    pajama pants, one eye gone, replaced by a socket
    filled with congealed gore
    362
    When I finished, there was a long silenceAt last she said, in a new and
    cautious voice: "Do you really believe that, Edgar
    - any of it?"
    "Wireman, the guy from down the beach I
    stopped, infuriated in spite of myselfAnd not
    because I didn't have any words
    Was I going to tell her the guy from down the
    beach was an occasional telepath, so he believed
    me?
    "What about the guy from down the beach, Edgar?"
    Her voice was calm and softI recognized it from
    the first month or so after my accidentIt was
    her Edgar's-Going-Section-Eight voice
    "You need to call DrKamen and tell him about
    this new idea of yours," she said"This idea that
    you're psychicDon't e-mail him, call himNot to
    mention frustrated and pissed off
    "All right what?"
    "All right, I'm hearing youYou're coming in loud
    and clearNo misunderstandings whatsoeverPerish

    To that she had no answe

    @@@@@
    The hall outside our room was crowdedJared, Kyle, and Ian were back from their desperate
    raid, empty-handedA cooler of ice–that was all they had to show for three days of risking their
    livesTrudy was making compresses and laying them across Jamie's forehead, the back of his
    neck, his chest
    Even if the ice cooled the fever, raging out of control, how long until it was all melted? An
    hour? More? Less? How long until he was dying again?
    I would have been the one to put the ice on him, but I couldn't moveIf I moved, I would fall
    into microscopic pieces
    “Nothing?” Doc murmured“Did you check –”
    “Every spot we could think of,” Kyle interrupted“It's not like painkillers, drugs–lots of people
    had reason to keep those hiddenThe antibiotics were always kept in the open
    Jared just stared down at the red-faced child on the bed, not speaking“Don't look like that,” he whispered
    I couldn't respondCouldn't even hear the words, really
    Doc knelt beside Trudy and pulled Jamie's chin downWith a bowl he scooped up some of the
    ice water from the cooler and let it trickle into Jamie's mouthWe all heard the thick, painful
    sound of Jamie's swallowingBut his eyes didn't open
    I felt as though I would never be able to move againThat I would turn into part of the stone
    wall
    If they dug a hole for Jamie in the empty desert, they would have to put me in it, too
    Not good enough,Melanie growled
    I was despairing, but she was filled with fury
    Trying solves nothingThey have to go back out

    @@@@@Cummings stared at the lamp for a few
    @@@@@Cummings stared at the lamp for a few secondsThe first reconnaissance patrol would take five days, at most six, and on their return he could dispatch a company that could reach Botoi in three daysFor safety's sake, he could allow ten days altogether, or eleven actually since he couldn't start it until tomorrow nightHis attack would begin in two days, and by the time he would be ready to launch the Botoi Bay invasion it would be nine days oldWith luck some penetration might be made by them, but it was unlikely the frontal assault would be that successfulAs it was, the timing might be very opportuneThe thing had its appeal
    Whom could he send out on the first patrol? He thought at once of recon, and then deliberated, searching his memory for what he knew of themThey had been in the rubber boats but there were only a few of those men left, and since then they had been relatively inactiveThe night the Japanese had attacked across the river they had acquitted themselves well, very wellThere was that platoon leader Croft whom Dalleson had mentionedBest of all, they were a small platoon, and he could send them all outIf he were to split a larger platoon, the men who would have to go would be bitter at their bad luck in being selected
    With a little shock he realized that Hearn was to be assigned to recon tomorrowIt wasn't a particularly good idea to send out an officer who would be unfamiliar with his platoon, but he couldn't leave the success of a patrol like this to a noncomAnd Hearn was intelligent with the physical requirements necessary for such an extended mission -- at this instant Cummings considered Hearn coldly, as though he were totting up the merits and demerits of a horseHearn could manage it; he probably had a flair for command
    A reaction was setting inThis new plan had a great many risks, almost too many to depend on itFor a few moments Cummings considered dropping itBut the initial investment was cheap enoughA dozen or fifteen men and if it went badly for them nothing was lostIn the meantime, the Navy was not irretrievably lostHe could make a trip perhaps to GHQ once the attack was launched, and see if he couldn't promote those destroyers

    @@@@@ The Market was the perfect place for
    @@@@@
    The Market was the perfect place for Scarlett to begin the life of a
    Charleston lady
    The Market was an outward, visible distillation of Charleston's
    essenceFrom the city's earliest days it had been the place where
    Charlestonians bought their foodThe lady of the house-or, in rare
    cases, the man-selected and paid for it, a maid or coachman received
    it
    and placed it in a basket hung over the armBefore the War the food
    was sold by slaves who had transported it from their masters'
    plantationsMany of the vendors were in the places they had been
    before, only now they were free, and the baskets were carried by
    servants who were paid for their service; like the vendors, many of
    them were the same people, carrying the same baskets they had
    before
    What was important to Charleston was that the old ways hadn't
    changed
    Tradition was the bedrock of society, the birthright of Charleston's
    people, the priceless inheritance that no carpetbagger or soldier could
    stealIt was made manifest in the MarketOutsiders could shop
    there; it was public property
    But they found it frustratingSomehow they could never quite catch
    the eye of the woman who was selling vegetables, the man selling
    crabs
    Black citizens were as proudly Charlestonian as white ones
    When the foreigner left, the whole Market rang with laughterThe
    Market was for Charleston's people onlyScarlett hunched her
    shoulders to lift her collar higher on her neckA cold finger of wind
    got inside it despite her efforts, and she shivered violently
    Her eyes felt full of cinders, and she was sure her boots must be lined
    with leadHow many miles could there be in five city blocks?
    She couldn't see a thingThe street lamps were only a bright circle
    of mist within mist in the ghostly gray pre-dawn halflight
    How can Miss Eleanor be so cursed cheery? Chattering away as if it
    wasn't freezing cold and black as pitchThere was some light
    ahead-way aheadScarlett stumbled towards itShe wished the
    miserable wind would die downWhat was that? In the wind

    "What's going on, Rhett?" Scarlett's voice had a quaver in it"I'll
    tell you later, there's no time now He kept hold
    of the two women, forcing them to match his purposeful but unhurried
    pace to the house and around its side"Mist' Butler!" shouted one of
    the menA half dozen others followed him as he started to walk
    towards RhettThis isn't good, thought Scarlett, calling him Mr
    Butler instead of Mr
    It's not friendly at all, and there must be close to fifty of them
    "Stay where you are," Rhett shouted back"I'll be back to talk to you
    as soon as I get the ladies settled Rosemary stumbled on a loose
    stone in the path and Rhett jerked her upright before she could fall
    "I don't care if your leg's broken," he muttered, "keep walking
    "I'm all right," Rosemary saidShe sounds cool as ice, thought
    ScarlettShe despised herself for feeling so nervous
    Thank goodness they were almost at the house nowOnly a few more
    steps and they'd be around itShe was unaware that she was holding
    her breath until they neared the house frontWhen she saw the green
    terraces that stepped down to the butterfly lakes and the river, she
    let her breath out in a whoosh of releaseThen she drew it in
    sharplyAs they turned the corner onto the brick terrace she saw ten
    white men sitting on it, leaning back against the house wallThey
    were all of them thin, lanky, their pale bare ankles showing between
    their clumsy heavy shoes and the bottoms of their faded overalls
    Across their knees they held rifles or shotguns in a loose, accustomed
    grip

    I took his hand and let him pull me out of what I
    presumed was a replacement beach chairHe had a
    strong gripThat was something else I'll never
    forget about Jerome Wireman; the man had a strong
    gripThe boardwalk up to the gate in the back
    wall was only wide enough for one, so I followed,
    limping gamely alongWhen he reached the gate -
    which was a smaller version of the one in front
    and looked as Spanish as Wireman's offhand patois
    - he turned toward me, smiling a little
    "Josie comes in to clean Tuesdays and Thursdays,
    and she's willing to keep an ear out for Miss
    Eastlake during her afternoon nap - which means I
    could come down and look at your pictures tomorrow

    "Don't worry," he said"If I think

    opened the gate and led me into the courtyard of
    Heron's Roost, also known as Palacio de Asesinos
    ii
    I'd already seen the courtyard, on the day I'd
    used the front entrance to turn around, but on
    that day I'd gotten little more than a glanceI'd
    mostly been concentrating on getting myself and my
    ashen-faced, perspiring daughter back to Big Pink
    I'd noticed the tennis court and the cool blue
    tiles, but had missed the koi pool entirelyThe
    tennis court was swept and ready for action, its
    paved surface two shades darker than the courtyard

    on wire stilts, and made me think briefly of the
    sketch Ilse had taken back to Providence with her:

    "One of these days, muchacho," Wireman said,

    Across the two-lane road from the inn was a small park, bordered on one side by a school and
    on the other by a field where cows grazedThere were a few young trees, and an old-fashioned
    playground with a sandbox, a slide, a set of monkey bars, and one of those hand-pulled

    used currently
    A little family was taking advantage of the cooler evening airThe father had some silver in his

    back in a long ponytail that bobbed when she movedThey had a little boy, no more than a year

    her hair dancing

    So what if their daughter does go there? I ain't afraid of the damn Judds, I want to tell you something, Ina, that society stuff don't impress me 'cause the truth of it is it's the money that counts, and we ain't got a daughter to worry about, and as far as Robert goes with all the books he reads he ain't gonna be much on the social end anyway, not so long as you're never around the goddam house, and he's got a nigger cook for a mother
    Bill, I wish you wouldn't talk that way
    Well, you can't change a sow's ear, InaI got my business and you got your social engagements, and each of us oughta be happyOnly it seems to me you could give a little time to Robert, that kid's a big kid, and he's healthy, only he's like a cold fish, and there's just no life in him
    He's going to camp this summer, and we're starting him at Country Day in the fall

    Yes

    Her eyes half blinded with fury and fear and tears, Marie started toward the left side of the
    lobby, desperately wanting to look back, but just as desperately knowing she could not do soShe
    reached the narrow set of glass double doors, colliding with a uniformed bellhop carrying suitcases
    inside
    “Pardon, madame!”
    “Moi aussi,” she stammered, maneuvering again blindly around the luggage and out to the
    pavementWhat could she do—what should she do? David was somewhere in the hotel—in the
    hotel! And a strange man recognized her and warned her and told her to get out—get away! What
    was happening? My God, someone’s trying to kill David! The old Frenchman had said as
    much—who was itwho were they? Where were they?
    Help me! For God’s sake, Jason, tell me what to dohelp me! She stood,
    frozen, as taxis and limousines broke off from the noonday traffic and pulled up to the Meurice’s
    curb, where a gold-braided doorman under the huge canopy greeted newcomers and old faces and
    sent bellboys scurrying in all directionsA large black limousine with a small discreet religious

    insignia on its passenger door, the cruciform standard of some high office of the Church, inched its
    way to the canopied areaMarie stared at the small emblem; it was circular and no more than six
    inches in diameter, a globe of royal purple surrounding an elongated crucifix of goldShe winced
    and held her breath; her panic now had a disturbing new dimensionShe had seen that insignia
    before, and all she remembered was that it had filled her with horror
    The limousine stopped; both curbside doors were opened by the smiling, bowing doorman as
    five priests emerged, one from the front seat, four from the spacious rear sectionThose from the
    back immediately, oddly, threaded their way into the noonday crowds of strollers on the pavement,
    two forward in front of the vehicle, two behind it, one of the priests whipping past Marie, his black
    coat making contact with her, his face so close she could see the blazing unpriestly eyes of a man
    who was no part of a religious orderThen the association with the emblem, the religious
    insignia, came back to her!
    Years ago, when David—when Jason—was in maximum therapy with Panov, Mo had him
    sketch, draw, doodle whatever images came to himTime and again that terrible circle with the thin
    crucifix appeared invariably torn apart or stabbed repeatedly with the pencil pointThe Jackal!
    Suddenly, Marie’s eyes were drawn to a figure crossing the rue de RivoliIt was a tall man in
    dark clothes—a dark sweater and trousers—and he was limping, dodging the traffic, a hand
    shielding his face from the drizzle that soon would turn into rainThe limp was false! The leg
    straightened if only for an instant and the swing of the shoulder that compensated was a defiant
    gesture she knew only too wellIt was David!
    Another, no more than eight feet from her, also saw what she sawA miniature radio was
    instantly brought to the man’s lipsMarie rushed forward, her extended hands the claws of a tigress
