?A woman was killed last night at an amusement park
outside Baltimore??
Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM

?I read about it in the Post this morning,? interrupted DeSole, nodding, his full cheeks jiggling
?Good Lord, were you??
?So did I,? broke in Casset, his steady brown eyes on Alex?It happened in front of a shooting
galleryThey closed the guns down
?I saw the article and figured it was some kind of terrible accident Valentino shook his head
slowly?I didn?t actually read it
?I was given my usual thick sheaf of scissored newspaper stories, which is enough journalism
for anyone in the morning,? said the director?I don?t remember any such article
?Were you involved, old boy??
?If I wasn?t, it was a horrible waste of lifeI should say if we weren?t involved
?We?? Casset frowned in alarm
?Morris Panov and I received identical telegrams from Jason Bourne asking us to be at the
amusement park at nine-thirty last hermes birkin bag replica nightIt was urgent, and we were to meet him in front of the
shooting gallery, but we were not, under any condition, to call his house or anyone elseWe both
independently assumed that he didn?t want to alarm his wife, that he had something to tell us
individually that he didn?t want her to knowWe arrived at the same time, but I saw Panov first

for other than keeping me uprightI cracked every shin and kneecap I could see and lanced a few
stomachs and titsWe got out of the circle, but that poor woman was killed
?How chanel 5 ladies handbag did you figure it?do you figure it?? asked Valentino
?I just don?t know, ValIt was a trap, no question about that, but what kind of trap? If what I
thought then and what I think now are correct, how could a hired marksman miss at that distance?
The shot came from my upper left?not that I necessarily heard it?but the position of the woman
and the blood all over her throat indicated that she had turned and caught the bullet in her body
swingIt couldn?t have come from the gallery; those guns are chained and the massive hemorrhage
in her neck was caused by a far larger caliber than any of the toys thereIf the killer wanted to take
out either Mo Panov or me, his telescopic cross hairs wouldn?t be that far off the markNot if my
thinking is rightConklin,? interjected the DCI, ?meaning the assassin, Carlos the Jackal

Baltimore??
