?And what in God?s name might that be?? asked Lavier, extracting another cigarette and
instantly lighting it?The KGB in Moscow is closing in on the Jackal?s man in Dzerzhinsky SquareThey?ve
narrowed it down to, say, ten or fifteen officers in the highest ranksOnce they find him, Carlos is
neutralized in the Komitet?worse, he?s about to lose an informer who knows far too much about
him to the Lubyanka interrogators
?But how would she know that?? said Jason?Who would tell her?? added Krupkin?It?s the truth, isn?t it??
?So are your very secret substations in Beijing, Kabul and?forgive my impertinence?
Canada?s Prince Edward Island, but you don?t advertise them,? said Krupkin?I didn?t know about Prince Edward,? admitted Alex?Regardless, there are times when
advertisements aren?t necessary, only the means to convey the information crediblyA few minutes
ago I didn?t have any means, only authenticity, but that gap has just been filledCome over here,
Kruppie?just you for the moment, and stay away from the windowLook between the corner of
the drapes The Soviet did as he was told, going to Conklin?s side and parting the fold of lace
fabric from the wall?What do you see?? asked Alex, gesturing at a shabby, nondescript brown car
below on the avenue Montaigne?Doesn?t do much for the neighborhood, does it??
Krupkin did not bother to replyInstead, he whipped the miniaturized radio from his pocket and
pressed the transmitter button?Sergei, there?s a brown automobile roughly eighty meters down the
street from the building?s entrance??
?We know, sir,? interrupted the aide?We?ve got it covered, and if you?ll notice, our backup is
parked across the wayIt?s an old man who barely moves except to look out the window
?Does he have a car telephone??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM
338
?No, comrade, and should he leave the automobile he?ll be followed, so there can be no outside
calls unless you direct otherwise
?I shall not direct otherwise The Russian looked at Conklin?The old
man,? he said
?Bald head and all,? affirmed Alex?He?s not a fool
