@@@@@On all
sides there were angry, surging, @@@@@On all sides there were angry, surging, foam-streaked mountainous waves with curling breaking white tops streaming fans of spume into the furious wind and rain"Rhett," she tried to shoutOh God, where was Rhett? She turned her head from side to side, trying to see through the rain Then, just as the sloop dove furiously down the other side of the wave, she found himGod damn hissoul! He was kneeling, his back and shoulders straight, his head and chin high, and he was laughing into the wind and the rain and the waves His left hand gripped the tiller with corded strength, and his right hand was outstretched, holding on to the line that was wrapped around his elbow and forearm and wrist, the sheet that led to the fearful pull of the huge wind-filled mainsailHe's loving this! The fight with the wind, the death dangerI hate him! Scarlett looked up at the towering threat of the next wave and for a wild, despairing instant she waited for it to topple, to trap, to destroy herThen she told herself that she had nothing to fearRhett could manage anything, even the ocean itselfShe lifted her head, as his was lifted, and gave herself over to the wild perilous excitement Scarlett did not know about the chaotic power of the windAs the little sloop rode up the side of the thirty-foot wave, the wind stoppedIt was only for a few seconds, a freak of the center of the squall, but the mainsail flattened, and the boat slewed to broadside, carried erratically by water current only in a perilous climb Scarlett was aware that Rhett was rapidly freeing his arm from the encircling slack line, that he was doing something different with the swinging tiller, but she had no hint that anything was wrong until the crest of the wave was nearly under the keel and Rhett shouted, "Jibe! Jibe," and threw his body painfully over hersShe heard a rattling, creaking noise close to her head and sensed the slow then faster then rushing swing of the heavy boom aboveEverything happened very fast, yet it seemed to be terribly, unnaturally slow, as though the whole world were stoppingShe looked without understanding at Rhett's face so near to hers, and then it was gone and he was on his knees again doing something, she didn't know what, except that heavy loops of thick rope were falling on herShe didn't see the crosswind ruffle, then suddenly fill, the wet canvas of the mainsail and propel it to the opposite side of the wayless sloop with an ever-mounting force so mightly that there was a crack like the sound of lightning striking and the thick mast broke and was carried into the sea by the momentum and weight of the sailThe hull of the boat bucked, then lifted to starboard and rolled slowly, following the pull of the fouled rigging, until it was upside downCapsized in the cold storm-torn seaShe'd never known such cold could existCold rain pelting her, colder waters surrounding her, pulling at herHer whole body must be frozen Her teeth were chattering uncontrollably, making such a noise in her head that she couldn't think, couldn't understand what was happening, except that she must be paralyzed, because she couldn't move | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 2:34 am |
@@@@@Good
citizenship was quintessential to @@@@@Good citizenship was quintessential to every soul So I took a deep breath to prepare myselfThe monitor registered the movementI knew I was stalling a bitI hated to admit it, but I was afraidTo get the information the Seeker needed, I would have to explore the violent memories that had made me scream in horrorMore than that, I was afraid of the voice I'd heard so loudly in my headBut she was silent now, as was right She was just a memory, too I should not have been afraidAfter all, I was called Wanderer nowAnd I'd earned the name With another deep breath, I delved into the memories that frightened me, faced them head-on with my teeth locked together I could skip past the end–it didn't overwhelm me nowIn fast-forward, I ran through the dark again, wincing, trying not to feel Once I was through that barrier, it wasn't hard to float through less-alarming things and places, skimming for the information I wantedI saw how she'd come to this cold city, driving by night in a stolen car chosen for its nondescript appearanceShe'd walked through the streets of Chicago in darkness, shivering beneath her coat She was doing her own seekingThere were others like her here, or so she hopedNot a sister… a cousin The words came slower and slower, and at first I did not understand whyWas this forgotten? Lost in the trauma of an almost death? Was I still sluggish from unconsciousness? I struggled to think clearlyThis sensation was unfamiliarWas my body still sedated? I felt alert enough, but my mind labored unsuccessfully for the answers I want | | 2:27 am |

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 400 39 The dark green KGB sedan rounded the final curve in the sloping road cut out of the countryside The descent had been gradualThe ground below was flat and summer-green with fields of wild grass bordering the white chanel watch approach to the massive brown building that was the Kubinka ArmoryIt seemed to rise out of the earth, a huge boxlike intrusion on the pastoral scene, an ugly man-made interruption of heavy brown wood and miserly windows reaching three stories high and covering two acres of landLike the structure itself, the front entrance was large, square and unadorned except for the dull bas-relief profiles above the door of three Soviet soldiers rushing into the deadly winds of battle, their rifles at port arms, about to blow one another’s heads off Armed with an authentic Russian AK-47 and five standard thirty-round magazine clips, Bourne jumped out the far side of the silent coasting government chanel clutch car, using the bulk of the rolling vehicle to conceal himself in the grass directly across the road from the entranceThe armory’s huge dirt parking area was to the right of the long building; a single row of unkempt shrubbery fronted the entrance lawn, in the center of which stood a tall white pole, the Soviet flag hanging limp in the breezeless morning airJason ran across the road, his body low, and crouched by the hedgerow; he had only moments to peer through the bushes and ascertain the existence or nonexistence of the armory’s security proceduresAt best, they appeared lax to the point of being informal, if not irrelevantThere was a glass window in the right wall of the entrance womens rolex watches similar to that of a theater’s box office; behind it sat a uniformed guard reading a magazine, and alongside him, less visible but seen clearly enough, was another, his head on the counter, asleepTwo other soldiers emerged from the immense armory door—double doors—both casual, unconcerned, as one glanced at his watch and the other lighted a cigarette So much for Kubinka’s security; no sudden assault was anticipated nor had one taken place, at least none that had set off alarms reaching the front patrols, usually the first to be alertedIt was eerie, unnatural, beyond the unexpectedThe Jackal was inside this military installation, yet there was no sign that he had penetrated it, no Chloe Purse indication that somewhere within the complex he was controlling a minimum of five personnel—a man impersonating him, three other men and a woman The parking area itself? He had not understood the exchanges between Alex, Krupkin and the voice over the radio, but now it was clear to him that when they had spoken of people coming outside and running to the stolen car, they were not referring to the front entrance! There had to be an exit on the parking area!
