Jason put down the radio and turned to FontaineThe governor isn?t one of the
Jackal?s army of old white prada bag menHe?s a different kind of recruit, probably like that lawyer Gates in
Boston?just bought or frightened, no soul involved
?You?re certain? Your brother-in-law is certain??
?The man?s out on his boatHe was given a bare-bones outline but that?s all, and his orders were
that he?s not to be told anything else until it?s all over
The Frenchman sighed?It?s a pity my mind is so old and so filled with saltIf I had

?You are good Bourne held in his stomach as Fontaine turned him around, pressing the lapels
and the ribbons of the jacket
?I?m a survivor, neither better nor worse than others?except with my womanThen I was better
