“Sir?” A middle-aged woman in a neat but @@@@@ “Sir?” A middle-aged woman in a neat but nondescript plain blue dress cautiously stood upHer blond-gray hair was swept back into a stern bun; she touched it briefly, self-consciously, as she Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 383 spoke“I evaluate personnel files on a daily basis and frequently discover errors how can you be certain these dossiers are accurate? For if they are not accurate, we could be placed in extremely dangerous situations, is that not so?” “That you should even question their accuracy is an affront, madame,” replied the Jackal coldly “I am the monseigneur from ParisI have accurately described your individual situations and accurately depicted the inferiority of your superiorsFurther, and at great expense and risk to myself and my associates here in Moscow, I have covertly funneled monies to you so as to make your lives more comfortable “Speaking for myself,” interrupted a gaunt man wearing glasses and a brown business suit, “I appreciate the money—I assigned mine to our collective fund and expect a moderate return—but does one have anything to do with the other? I am with the Ministry of Finance, of course, and having admitted that, I absolve myself of complicity for being clear about my status “Whatever that means, accountant, you’re about as clear as your paralyzed ministry,” interrupted an obese man in a black suit too small for his girth“You also cast doubt on your ability to recognize a decent return! Naturally, I’m with Military Supply, and you consistently shortchange us “As you do constantly with Scientific Research!” exclaimed a short, tweedy professorial member of the audience, the irregularity of his clipped beard due, no doubt, to poor vision, despite the thick spectacles bridging his nose“Returns, indeed! What about allocations?” “More than sufficient for your grade-school scientists! The money is better spent stealing from the West!” “Stop it!” cried the priest-assassin, raising his arms like a messiah“We are not here to discuss interdepartmental conflicts, for they will all be resolved with the emergence of our new elite Remember! I am the monseigneur from Paris, and together we will bring about a new, cleansed order for our great revolution! Complacency is over “It is a thrilling concept, sir,” said a second woman, a female in her early thirties, her skirt expensively pleated, her compact features obviously recognized by the others as a popular newscaster on television“However, may we return to the issue of accuracy?” “It is settled, “said the dark-eyed Carlos, staring in turn at each person“How else would I know all about you?” “I do not doubt you, sir,” continued the newscaster“But as a journalist I must always seek a second source of verification unless the ministry determines otherwiseSince you are not with the Ministry of Information, sir, and knowing that whatever you say will remain confidential, can you give us a secondary source?” “Am I to be hounded by manipulated journalists when I speak the truth?” The assassin caught his breath in anger“Everything I’ve told you is the truth and you know it “So were the crimes of Stalin, sir, and they were’ buried along with twenty million corpses for thirty years “You want proof, journalist? I’ll give you proofI have the eyes and the ears of the leaders of the KGB—namely, the great General Grigorie Rodchenko himselfHe is my eyes and my ears, and if you care to know a harsher truth, he is beholden to me!

There's plenty,” she told him without turning “Pretend I'm Kyle,” he said with a laugh “A Kyle-sized portion it is,” Lucina said, but when she smiled, her eyes were unhappy She filled one of the soup bowls to overflowing with slightly rubbery scrambled eggs, stood up, and handed it to Jamie She eyed me again, and I understood whatthis look was for “Let's sit over there, Jamie,” I said, nudging him away from the counter He stared in amazement“Don't you want any?” “No, I'm –” I was about to say “fine” again, when my stomach gurgled disobediently “Wanda?” He looked at me, then back at Lucina, who had her arms folded across her chest “I'll just have bread,” I muttered, trying to shove him awayLucina, what's the problem?” He looked at her expectantly“If you're done here, I'll take over,” he suggested, his eyes narrowing and his mouth setting in a stubborn line Lucina shrugged and set the ladle on the stone counterShe walked away slowly, not looking at me again “Jamie,” I muttered urgently under my breath“This food isn't meant for meJared and the others weren't risking their lives so that I could have eggs for breakfast “Don't be stupid, Wanda,” Jamie said“You live here now, just like the rest of usNobody minds it when you wash their clothes or bake their breadBesides, these eggs aren't going to last much longerIf you don't eat them, they'll get thrown out I felt all the eyes in the room boring into my back “That might be preferable to some,” I said even more quie | | Friday, December 10th, 2010 | | 3:23 am |

Gallagher felt a dull anger as he readIt was those kind of guys you had to watch out for, the fuggin CommunistsHe remembered once when he was driving a truck and the AFL had tried to organize themHe'd mentioned it down at the ward headquarters, and the organizer had never come backThere was something funny there, he'd noticed there were guys in the party who would play around with the Red Labor Outfits, men like Big Joe Durmey, and this Jim Andrews guy, and they had no call to deal with bigots, Gallagher decidedThose were the kind of guys who were always working against him; no wonder he had never got anywhereHe felt a pang of envy as he thought of Whitey LydonEverybody was getting ahead of him while he was stuck hereThere wasn't anybody you could trust He folded the paper and crammed it into his pocketCroft was calling to them and they got out of their tents, and strolled toward the truck that was to take them to the section of road upon which they were workingThe sun had been up for only an hour and the morning still had a fine clear youthGallagher thought vaguely of early summer mornings when he set out for work, and the pavements were still cool and fresh from the summer nightHe had forgotten the newspaper and was humming to himself as he climbed on the truck
