According to Corporal Sleaze, who I must say does his follow-ups, there are
small flight connections to a dozen or so minor offshore islands
“That’s it?”
“That’s it, ProfessorAnd considering the fact that the aircraft in question had a Four Zero
government classification, which, incidentally, in my letter to the attorney general I so specified, I
think I’ve earned my ten thousand dollars
“You drunken scum—”
“Again you’re wrong, Randy,” interrupted the judge“Alcoholic, certainly, drunk hardly everI
stay on the edge of sobrietyIt’s my one reason for livingYou see in my cognizance I’m always
amused—by men like you, actually
“Get out of here,” said the professor ominously
“You’re not even going to offer me a drink to help support this dreadful habit of mine? Good
heavens, there must be half a dozen unopened bottles over there
“Take one and leave
“Thank you, I believe I will The old judge walked to a cherry-wood table against the wall
where two silver trays held various whiskies and a brandy“Let’s see,” he continued, picking up
several white cloth napkins and wrapping them around two bottles, then a third“If I hold rolex watches for women these
tightly under my arm, they could be a pile of laundry I’m taking put for quick service
“Will you hurry!”
“Will you please open the door for me? I’d hate like hell dropping one of these while
manipulating the knobIf it smashed it wouldn’t do much for your image, eitherYou’ve never
been known to have a drink, I believe
“Get out,” insisted Gates, opening the door for the old man
“Thank you, Randy,” said the judge, walking out into the hallway and turning“Don’t forget the
bank check at the Boston Five in the morning?”
“My word, can you imagine what the attorney general would say just knowing that you’d even
consorted with me? Good-bye, Counselor
Randolph Gates slammed the door and ran into the bedroom, to the bedside telephoneThe
smaller enclosure was reassuring, as it removed him from the exposure to scrutiny inherent in
larger areas—the room was more private, more personal, less open to invasionThe call he had to
make so unnerved him he could not understand the pull-out flap of instructions for overseas
connectionsInstead, in his anxiety, he dialed the operator
“I want to place a call to Paris,” he said

Bourne’s eyes were tired, the strain painful as he studied the results of the computer printouts
spread across the coffee table in front of the couchSitting forward, he had analyzed them for
nearly four hours, forgetting time, forgetting that his “control” was to have reached him by then,
concerned only with a link to the Jackal at the Mayflower hotel
The first group, which he temporarily put aside, was the foreign nationals, a mix of British,
Italian, Swedish, West German, Japanese and TaiwaneseEach of them had been extensively
examined with respect to authentic credentials and fully substantiated business or personal reasons
for entering the countryThe State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency had done their
homeworkEach person was professionally and personally vouched for by a minimum of five
reputable individuals or companies; all had long-standing communications with such people and
firms in the Washington area; none had a false or questionable statement on recordIf the Jackal’s
man was among them—and he might well be—it would take far more information than was to be
found see by chloe bag in the printouts before Jason could refine the listIt might be necessary to go back to this
group, but for the moment he had to keep readingThere was so little time!
Of the remaining five hundred or so American guests at the hotel, two hundred and twelve had
entries in one or more of the intelligence data banks, the majority because they had business with
the governmentHowever, seventy-eight had raw-file negative evaluationsThirty-one were
Internal Revenue Service matters, which meant they were suspected of destroying or falsifying
financial records and/or had tax havens in Swiss or Cayman Island accountsThey were zero,
nothing, merely rich and not very bright thieves, and, further, the sort of “messengers” Carlos
would avoid like lepers
That left forty-seven possiblesMen and women—in eleven cases ostensibly husbands and
wives—with extensive connections in Europe, in the main with technological firms and related
nuclear and aerospace industries, all under intelligence microscopes for possibly selling classified
information to brokers of the Eastern bloc and therefore to MoscowOf these forty-seven possibles,
including two hermes borse of the eleven couples, an even dozen had made recent trips to the Soviet Union—
scratch all of themThe Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti, otherwise known as the KGB, had
less use for the Jackal than the PopeIlich Ramirez Sanchez, later Carlos the assassin, had been
trained in the American compound of Novgorod, where the streets were lined with American gas
stations and grocery stores, boutiques and Burger Kings, and everyone spoke American English
with diverse dialects—no Russian was allowed—and only those who passed the course were
permitted to proceed to the next level of infiltratorsThe Jackal had, indeed, passed, but when the
Komitet discovered that the young Venezuelan revolutionary’s solution for all things disagreeable
was to eliminate them violently, it was too much for even the inheritors of the brutal OGPU
Sanchez was expelled and Carlos the Jackal was bornForget about the twelve people who had
traveled to the Soviet UnionThe assassin would not touch them, for there was a standing order in
all branches of Russian intelligence that if Carlos was tracked he was to be shotNovgorod was to
