@@@@@But we’ll have Jason Bourne, the character who
doesn’t exist because he’s already dead
Albert Armbruster nodded once and turned to the window in silence
“I’ll close up for six months, change the name, then start a promotional campaign in the
magazines before reopening,” said John StJacques, standing by the window as the doctor worked
on his brother-in-law
“There’s no one left?” asked Bourne, wincing as he sat in a chair dressed in a bathrobe, the last
suture on his neck being pinceredSeven crazy Canadian couples, including my old buddy, who’s needlepointing
your throat at the momentWould you believe they wanted to start up a brigade, Renfrews of the
Mounties, after the evil people
“That was Scotty’s idea,” interrupted the doctor softly, concentrating on the wound
“So’s he but he doesn’t know itThen he wanted to advertise a reward to the tune of a hundred
thousand for information leading to the et cetera! I finally convinced him that the less said the
better
“Nothing said is the best,” added Jason“That’s the way it’s got to be
“That’s a little tough, David,” said StJacques, misunderstanding the sharp glance Bourne
leveled at him“I’m sorry, but it isWe’re deflecting most of the local inquiries with an ersatz story
about a massive propane-gas leak, but not too many people are buying itOf course, to the world
outside, an earthquake down here wouldn’t rate six lines buried in the last pages of the want ads,
but rumors are flying around the Leewards
“You said local inquiries what about that world outside? Has there been anything from it?”
“There will be but not about here, not about TranquilityMontserrat, yes, and the news will get a
column in the London Times and maybe an inch in the New York and Washington papers, but I
don’t think it’ll touch us

One other thing occurred in my other life
@@@@@
One other thing occurred in my other life before I
slipped through that door, thoughIt was what
happened to Monica Goldstein's Jack Russell
Terrier, Gandalf
40
viii
If you've been picturing my convalescent retreat
as a lakeside cottage standing in splendid
isolation at the end of a lonely dirt road in the
north woods, you better think again - we're
talking your basic suburbiaOur place by the lake
stood at the end of Aster Lane, a paved street
running from East Hoyt Avenue to the waterOur
closest neighbors were the Goldsteins
In the middle of October, I finally took Kathi
Green's advice and began to walkThese were not
the Great Beach Walks I took later, and I came
back from even these short outings with my bad hip
crying for mercy (and more than once with tears
standing in my eyes), but they were steps in the
right directionI was returning from one of these
walks when MrsFevereau hit Monica's dog
I was three-quarters of the way home when the
Fevereau woman went past me in her ridiculous
mustard-colored HummerAs always, she had her
cell phone in one hand and a cigarette in the
other; as always she was going too fastI barely
41
noticed, and I certainly didn't see Gandalf dash
into the street up ahead, concentrating only on
Monica, coming down the other side of the street
in Full Girl ScoutI was concentrating on my
reconstructed hipAs always near the end of my
short strolls, this so-called medical marvel felt
packed with roughly ten thousand tiny points of
broken glass
Then tires yowled, and a little girl's scream
joined them: "GANDALF, NO!"
For a moment I had a clear and unearthly vision of
the crane that had almost killed me, the world I'd
always lived in suddenly eaten up by a yellow much
brighter than MrsFevereau's Hummer, and black
letters floating in it, swelling, getting larger:
LINK-BELT
Then Gandalf began to scream, too, and the
flashback - what DrKamen would have called a
recovered memory, I suppose - was goneUntil that
afternoon in October four years ago, I hadn't
known dogs could scream
I broke into a lurching, crabwise run, pounding
the sidewalk with my red crutchI'm sure it would
have appeared ludicrous to an onlooker, but no one
42
was paying any attention to meMonica Goldstein
was kneeling in the middle of the street beside
her dog, which lay in front of the Hummer's high,
boxy grilleHer face was white above her forestgreen
uniform, from which a sash of badges and
medals hungThe end of this sash was soaking in a
spreading pool of Gandalf's bloodFevereau half-jumped and half-fell from the
Hummer's ridiculously high driver's seat | | Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 | | 4:55 pm |

Croft let out a roar of laughter"You're a good bastard, Gallagher," he shouted sullenly, clapping him on the backHe felt a vast explosive mirth which embraced everything"An' you're jus', jus' an old cock-hound, WilsonYou're the goddamnedest ole lecher His voice was thick and the others, even in their drunkenness, looked at him uneasily"I bet you were born with a stiff rod
Wilson began to cackle"Ah've suspected it mahself They laughed together violently, and Croft shook his head as if to halt the uproarious whirl of his head"I'm going to tell you men something," he said"You're all good guysYou're all chicken, and you're all yellow, but you're good guysThey ain't a goddam thing wrong with you He gave a tight smile which set his mouth awry, and then laughed again"Japbait here is the best goddam friend a man could haveMex or no Mex, you can't beat himEven ol' Red who's a dumb mean ol' sonofabitch, and I'm gonna shoot him someday, even ol' Red means all right in his own stupid way
Red felt a pang of fear which alerted him for an instant as if a drill were probing one of his teeth"Up yours, Croft," he said
Croft laughed with intense merriment"See what I mean," he pointed out
Red relapsed into a moody somnolence"You're all good fuggin guys," he said, waving his arm vaguely through the air

@@@@@One reason Scarlett had enjoyed having "the dregs"
for friends was that she could use the rough side of her tongue on
them
any time she liked and they'd always come crawling back for moreI
haven't sunk to that level, thank GodI'm not going to go crawling
back to them now that I know what low things they areIt's just that
it gets dark so early and the nights are so long and I can't sleep like
I oughtThings will get better when the rain stops when winter's
over when Rhett comes home
At last the weather turned to bright, cold, sunny days with high wisps
of cloud in brilliant blue skiesColleton pumped the standing water
out of the hole he'd dug, and the sharp wind dried the red Georgia clay
to the hardness of brickHe ordered concrete then, and lumber to
make
the forms for casting the footings
Scarlett plunged into a celebration of shopping for giftsIt was
nearly ChristmasShe bought dolls for Ella and each of Suellen's
girlsBaby dolls for the younger ones with soft sawdust-stuffed
bodies and chubby porcelain faces and hands and feetSusie and Ella
had nearly identical lady dolls with cunning leather trunks full of
beautiful clothesWade was a problem; Scarlett never knew what to
do
about himThen she remembered Tony Fontaine's promise to teach
him
how to twirl his six-shooters, and she bought Wade his own pair, with
his initials carved in their ivory-inlaid handles
Suellen was easy-a beaded silk reticule that was too fancy to use in
the country, with a twenty dollar gold piece inside it good anywhereScarlett searched high and low before she gave
up
and bought him another sheepskin jacket like the one she'd given him
the year before, and the year before thatIt's the thought that
counts, she told herself firmlyShe debated for a long time before
she decided not to get a present for BeauShe wouldn't put it past
India to send it back unopenedBesides, Beau wasn't lacking for
anything, she thought bitterlyThe Wilkes account at her store was

Christ, if this is basic staples, I'd hate to see
what it would look like if the kid really decided
to load up - I could wait out World War III
"Ah, roger, Freemantle, we copy
"Ah, we have bologna, Houston, that's a go on the
bologna, do you copy?"
"Roger, Freemantle, we read you loud and clear
What's your mayo situation?"
We were a go for mayo, tooI made two bologna
sandwiches on white - where I grew up, children
are raised to believe mayonnaise, bologna, and
white bread are the food of the gods - and ate
them at the kitchen tableIn the pantry I found a
stack of Table Talk Pies, both apple and blueberry

I began to think of changing my will in favor of
Jack Cantori
Almost sloshing with food, I went back to the
living room, snapped on all the lights, and looked
at HelloBut it was
interestingThe scribbled afterglow had a sullen,
furnacey quality that was startlingThe ship
wasn't the one I'd seen, but mine was interesting
in a spooky sort of wayIt was little more than a
scarecrow ship, and the overlapping scribbles of
yellow and orange had turned it into a ghost-ship,

thinking it needed something in the foreground - a

telephone instead, thinking if it wasn't working

been on top of that, too

I thought I'd probably get her machine - college

range of good and bad in us than you doWell, maybe mostly the bad

“We value the individualWe probably puttoo much emphasis on the individual, if it comes
right down to itHow many people, in the abstract, would… let's say Paige… how many people
would she sacrifice to keep Andy alive? The answer wouldn't make any sense if you were
looking at the whole of humanity as equals

@@@@@The certificates are secured by real estate
@@@@@The certificates are secured by real estate and enforced by state law, which is also better than most banksThe formula they're bought on makes them safeThey just lack liquiditySo I look at them as 2 to 7-year CDsAlmost every time I tell someone, especially if they have money in CDs, that I hold my money this way, they will tell me it's riskyThey tell me why I should not do itWhen I ask them where they get their information, they say from a friend or an investment magazineThey've never done it, and they're telling someone who's doing it why they shouldn'tThe lowest I yield I look for is 16 percent, but people who are filled with doubt are willing to accept 5 percent
My point is that it's those doubts and cynicism that keep most people? poor and playing it safeThe real world is simply waiting for you to get rich Only a person's doubts keep them poorAs I said, getting out of the rat race is technically easyIt doesn't take much education, but those doubts are cripplers for most people

Jeb seemed to read my mind–or maybe the expression on my face was clear enough that he
didn't have to“Don't worry about thatThis ismy house, and this is just one of my
many guest roomsI say who is and isn't my guestRight now, you are my guest, and I am
offering you this room
I still didn't like it, but I wasn't going to upset Jeb, eitherI vowed that I would disturb nothing,
if it meant sleeping on the floor
“Well, let's keep movingDon't forget: third from the left, seventh in
“Green screen,” I added
Jeb took me back through the big garden room, around the perimeter to the opposite side, and
through the biggest tunnel exitWhen we passed the irrigators, they stiffened and turned, afraid
to have me behind their backs
This tunnel was well lit, the bright crevices coming at intervals too regular to be natural
“We go even closer to the surface nowIt gets drier, but it gets hotter, too
I noticed that almost immediatelyInstead of being steamed, we were now being bakedThe air
was less stuffy and staleI could taste the desert dust
There were more voices aheadI tried to steel myself against the inevitable reactionIf Jeb
insisted on treating me like… like a human, like a welcome guest, I was going to have to get
used to thisNo reason to let it make me nauseous over and over againMy stomach began an

"Jackwe don't know what we need to

I heard their voices, but from far away
"Let's say Mary hit her with the gun when she
turned around I wiped my cheeks with the heel of
my hand"Let's say she hit her several times,
four or fiveIn the movies, you get clopped once
and you're out like a lightIn real life, I doubt
if it's like that
"No," Wireman murmured, and of course this game of
let's-say turned out to be all too accurateMy
If-So-Girl's skull had been fractured in three
places from repeated overhand blows, and she bled
a great dealThe blood-trail led across the
living room/kitchen (the smell of the burnt sketch
very likely still hanging in the air) and down the
short hallway between the bedroom and the nook
that served as Illy's studyIn the bathroom at
the end of the hall, Mary filled the tub and in it
she drowned my unconscious daughter like an orphan
kittenWhen the job was done, Mary went into the
living room, sat down on the sofa, and shot
herself in the mouthThe bullet exited the top of

her skull, splattering her ideas about art, along
with a good deal of her hair, on the living room
