Delta,? replied Rachel
?My God, you had a life here, both of you??
?We don?t want anything from this life outside of what we?ve got,? said Flannagan firmly
?The estate here is yours, MrsSwayne??
?Like hell it isIt?s being turned over to some foundation, ask the lawyerWhatever I get, if I
get, he?ll send on to meI just want out?we want out
Jason looked back and forth at the strange and strangely drawn-together couple?Then there?s
nothing to stop you
?How do we know that?? pressed Flannagan, stepping forward
?It?ll take a measure of trust on your part, but, believe me, I can do itOn the other hand, look at
the alternativeNo matter what you do with him, he won?t show up in Arlington
tomorrow or the next day or the day after thatSooner or fake white chanel watches later someone?s going to come looking for
himThere?ll be questions, searches, an investigation, and as sure as God made little Bobby
Woodwards, the media will descend with its bellyful of speculationsIn short order your
?arrangement? will be picked up?hell, even the guards talked about it?and the newspapers, the
magazines and television will have a collective field dayDo you want that? Or would it all lead
to that body bag you mentioned??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
105
The master sergeant and his lady stared at each other?He?s right, Eddie,? said the latter?With
him we got a chance, the other way we don?t
?It sounds too easy,? said Flannagan, his breath coming shorter as he glanced toward the door
?How are you going to handle balenciaga whistle bag everything??
?That?s my business,? answered Bourne?Give me the telephone numbers, all of them, and then
the only call you?ll have to make is the one to New York, and if I were you, I?d make it from
whatever Pac island you?re on
?You?re nuts! The minute the news breaks, I?m on Medusa?s rug?so?s Rachel! They?re going
to want to know what happened
?Tell them the truth, at least a variation of it, and I think you may even get a bonus
?You?re a goddamned flake!?
?I wasn?t a flake in ?Nam, SergeantNor was I in Hong Kong, and I?m certainly not nowYou
and Rachel came home, saw what had happened, packed up and left?because you didn?t want any
questions and the dead can?t talk and trap themselvesPredate your papers by a day, mail them, and
leave the cheap imitation chanel bags rest to me
?I dunno??
?You don?t have a choice, Sergeant!? shot back Jason, rising from the chair?And I don?t care to
waste any more time! You want me to go, I?ll go?figure it all out for yourselves Bourne angrily
started for the door
?No, Eddie, stop him! We gotta do it his way, we gotta take the chance! The other way we?re
dead and you know it
?All right, all right! We?ll do what you say
Jason stopped and turned?Everything I say, Sergeant, down to the letter
?First, you and I will go over to your place while Rachel goes upstairs and packsYou?ll give
me everything you?ve got?telephone and license numbers, every name you can remember,
anything you can give me that I ask forSwayne, I know that there are probably a lot of little things rolex gmt you?d like to
take along, but??
?Forget it, MrMementos I don?t haveWhatever I really wanted was long since shipped
out of this hell holeIt?s all in storage ten thousand miles away
?My, you really were prepared, weren?t you??
?Tell me something I don?t knowYou see, the time had to come, one way or the other, y?know
what I mean?? Rachel walked rapidly past the two men and into the hall; she stopped and came
back to Master Sergeant Flannagan, a smile on her lips, a glow in her eyes, as she placed her hand
on his face?Hey, Eddie,? she said quietly?It?s really gonna happenWe?re gonna live, Eddie
Y?know what I mean??
?Yeah, babe
As they walked out into the darkness toward the cabin, Bourne spoke?I meant what I said about
not wasting time, see by chloe bag Sergean
