    But the General didn't answer"I'm taking a trip up to Second Battalion this morningWill you tell Richman to have the jeep ready for me in about ten minutes?"
    "Am I coming along, sir?"
    "Eh, noI want you to go out to chanel top the beach, and pick up some extra supplies for officers' mess A little puzzled, Hearn went down to the motor pool, gave the order to Richman, the General's driver, and then saw Major Horton, who gave him a list of supplies to be purchased from a Liberty ship out in the harbor
    Hearn collected a detail of three men from the first sergeant of headquarters company, requisitioned a weapons carrier, and drove down to the beachAlready the morning had become hot, and the sun, replica omega obscured by overcast, refracted from the jungle and heated the moist dank airOccasionally on the trip along the road, the sound of some artillery would eddy back to them, heavy and depressed like a heat storm on a summer nightHearn was sweating by the time they reached the end of the peninsula

    The landing craft cut off its motors, and drifted in against the side of the freighterWhen it bumped against the side, Hearn caught the ladder and climbed up to the deckAbove him on the rail were a number of seamen staring at him, and the blank look on their faces, critical and slightly disdainful, irritated messenger bag prada himHe stared down through the rungs of the ship ladder at the landing craft, which had backed off toward the loading crane at the bow of the shipHearn found himself sweating again from the minor exertion of climbing the ladder
    "Who's in charge of ship's stores?" he asked one of the seamen at the rail

    @@@@@"Miss Julia's
    wonderful"She runs Ashley Barony herseli;
    she
    says she's never had an overseer that didn't need overseeing
    And she has practically as many rice fields as there were before the
    WarShe could mine phosphate like Rhett, but she won't have
    anything
    to do with itPlantations are for planting, she says, not
    for"-Rosemary's voice dropped to a shocked, pleased whisper-" 'raping
    the land to get what's underneath She keeps it all the way it was
    There's sugar cane and a press to make her own molasses, and a
    blacksmith to shoe the mules and make wheels for the carts, and a
    cooper to make barrels for the rice and molasses, and a carpenter for
    fixing things, a tanner to make harnessShe takes her rice into town
    for milling and she buys flour and coffee and tea, but everything else
    comes from the placeShe's got cows and sheep and fowl and pigs
    and a
    dairy room and spring house and smoke house and storerooms full of
    canned vegetables and shelled corn and preserved fruit from the
    summer
    cropsShe makes her own wine, tooRhett claims she's even got a
    still out in the pine woods she gets her turpentine from
    "Does she still have slaves?"
    Scarlett's words were sharply sarcasticThe days of the great
    plantations were over and there was no bringing them back"Oh,
    Scarlett, you sound just like Rhett sometimesI'd like to shake both
    of youMiss Julia pays wages just like everybody elseBut she makes
    the plantation earn enough to pay themI'm going to do the same
    thing
    at the Landing if I ever get the chanceI think it's horrible that
    Rhett won't even try Rosemary began to clatter cups and saucers on
    the tea tray"I can't remember, do you take milk or lemon,
    Scarlett?"
    "What? Oh-milk, please Scarlett had no interest in teaShe was
    reliving the fantasy she'd had before, of Tara brought back to life,
    with its fields studded with white cotton for as far as the eye could
    see and its barns full and the house just the way it had been when her
    mother was aliveYes, there was some of the long-forgotten scent of
    lemon oil in this room and brass polish and floor waxIt was faint,
    but she was sure she could smell it, in spite of the sharp resinous
    tang of the pine logs in the f

    @@@@@They were pretty as pictures, and I was proud as a peacock,
    because most of my planting came out mighty sorryWe ate them
    boiled
    and stewed and in fricassee to help the taste of the squirrels and
    raccoonsBut they didn't have any bite to them at allLater, when I
    dug up the row to plant something else, I came across one I'd missed
    That one was what an onion's supposed to beThe fact is, they need
    time to flavor upI'll show you what a good onion should be like
    Scarlett sorted with expert eyes, hands, and nose through the baskets
    on the table"These are the ones you want," she said at lastHer
    chin was belligerentYou can figure me for a country bumpkin if you
    want to, she was thinking, but I'm not ashamed that I got my hands
    dirty when I had toYou high-toned Charlestonians think you're the
    be-all and end-all, but you're not"Thank you," said SallyHer eyes
    were thoughtfulI did you an injustice, ScarlettI
    didn't think anyone as pretty as you could have any senseWhat else
    did you plant? I wouldn't mind learning about celery Scarlett
    studied Sally's faceShe saw the honest interest and responded to
    it
    "Celery was too fancy for meI had a dozen mouths to feedI know
    about all there is to know about yams, though, and carrots and white
    potatoes and turnips She didn't care if she was
    bragging or notShe'd bet anything that no lady in Charleston had
    ever sweated in the sun picking cotton! "You must have worked

    @@@@@ “Then two words should do it‘Moscow,
    @@@@@
    “Then two words should do it‘Moscow, emergency,’ that’s the basic message you’re sending
    himPut it any way you like, but add that the crisis is of such a nature that you must speak only
    with himI know men who have spoken with him, who in drunken moments have tried
    to describe him, but to me he is a complete stranger
    “All the stronger for it,” broke in Conklin, turning to Bourne and Krupkin“In this city he’s got
    all the cards, all of themHe’s got firepower, an untraceable network of gunslingers and couriers,
    and for every crevice he can crawl into and burst out from, there are dozens more available to him
    Paris is his territory, his protection—we could run blindly all over the city for days, weeks, even
    months, getting nowhere until the moment comes when he’s got you and Marie in his gun sights
    you can also add Mo and me to that scenarioLondon, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rome—they’d all be
    better for us than Paris, but the best is MoscowOddly enough, it’s the one place in the world that
    has a hypnotic hold on him—and also the one that’s the least hospitable
    “Aleksei, Aleksei,” cried Dimitri Krupkin“I really think you should reconsider alcohol, for it’s
    obvious you’ve lost your senses! Say Domie actually reaches Carlos and tells him what you say
    Do you really believe that on the basis of an ‘emergency’ in Moscow he’ll up and take the next
    plane there? Insanity!”
    “You can bet your last black-market ruble I do,” replied Conklin“That message is only to
    convince him to get in touch with herOnce he does, she explodes the bombShe’s just heard an
    extraordinary piece of information that she knew should only be conveyed to him, not sent through
    the message tunnels
    “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 Al

    @@@@@Marie rushed forward, her extended hands the claws of a tigress
    as she lunged at the killer in priest’s clothing
    “David!” she screamed, drawing blood from the face of the Jackal’s man
    Gunshots filled the rue de RivoliThe crowds panicked, many running into the hotel, many more
    racing away from the canopied entrance, all shrieking, yelling, seeking safety from the murderous
    insanity that had suddenly exploded in the civilized streetIn the violent struggle with the man who
    would kill her husband, the strong Canadian ranch girl ripped the automatic out of his belt and fired
    it into his head; blood and membranes were blown into the air
    “Jason!” she screamed again as the killer fell, instantly realizing that she stood alone with only
    the corpse beneath her—she was a target! Then from certain death there was the sudden possibility
    of lifeThe old aristocratic Frenchman who had recognized her in the lobby came crashing out of
    the front entrance, his automatic weapon on repeat fire as he sprayed the black limousine, stopping
    for an instant to switch his aim and shattering the legs of a “priest” whose weapon was leveled at
    him
    “Mon ami!” roared Bernardine
    “Here!” shouted Bourne“Where is she?”
    “A votre droite! Auprès de—” A single gunshot exploded from the glass double doors of the
    MeuriceAs he fell the Deuxième veteran cried out, “Les Capucines, mon amiLes Capucines!”
    Bernardine slumped to the pavement; a second gunshot ended his life
    Marie was paralyzed, she could not move! Everything was a blizzard, a hurricane of iced
    particles crashing with such force against her face she could neither think nor find meaning
    Weeping out of control, she fell to her knees, then collapsed in the street, her screams of despair
    clear to the man who suddenly was above heroh God, my children!”
    “Our children,” said Jason Bourne, his voice not the voice of David Webb“We’re getting out of
    here, can you understand that?”

    “Yes yes!” Marie awkwardly, painfully, swung her legs behind her and lurched to her feet,
    held by the husband she either knew or did not know“David?”
    “Of course I’m DavidCome on!”
    “You frighten me—”
    “I frighten myselfLet’s go! Bernardine gave us our exitRun with me; hold my hand!”
    They raced down the rue de Rivoli, swinging east into the boulevard StMichel until the
    Parisian strollers in their nonchalance de jour made it clear that the fugitives were safe from the
    horrors of the MeuriceThey stopped m an alleyway and held each other
    “Why did you do it?” asked Marie, cupping his face“Why did you run away from us?”
    “Because I’m better without you, you know tha

    not like to speak of these things directlyor
    even know how to speak of them directlybut
    might I give you a word of advice, Edgar? As one
    who only appreciates, to one who creates? Might I
    be allowed that?"
    I waitedThe machine was silentI thought
    perhaps the tape had run its courseUnder my feet
    334
    the shells murmured quietly, as if sharing secretsThen she
    began again
    "If the people who run the Scoto or the Avenida
    should offer you a chance to show your work, I
    would advise you most strongly to say yesSo
    others can enjoy it, of course, but mainly to get
    as much of it off Duma as soon as you can She
    took a deep, audible breath, sounding like a woman
    preparing to finish some arduous choreShe also
    sounded completely and utterly sane, totally there
    and in the moment"Do not let it accumulateThat
    is my advice to you, well-meant and without any
    any personal agenda? Yes, that's what I mean
    Letting artistic work accumulate here is like
    letting too much electricity accumulate in a
    batteryIf you do that, the battery may explode
    I didn't know if that was actually true or not,
    but I took her meaning
    "I can't tell you why that should be, but it is,"
    she went onand I had a sudden intuition that
    she was lying about that"And surely if you
    believe in art for art's sake, the painting is the
    important part, isn't it?" Her voice was almost
    335
    wheedling now"Even if you don't need to sell
    your paintings to buy your daily bread, sharing
    workgiving it to the worldsurely artists
    care about such things, don't they? The giving?"
    How would I know what was important to artists? I
    had only that day learned what sort of finish to

    Mary Ire called me? An American primitiveThen: "I think I'll stop

    @@@@@The storm
    dropped on the Key as the dark came down and I
    thought of certain circus acts where the guy
    throws knives blindfolded at a pretty girl
    spreadeagled on a spinning wooden platter, and I
    think I laughed because I was painting blindfold,
    or almostEvery now and then the lightning would
    flash and Wireman would leap at me, Wireman at
    twenty-five, Wireman before Julia, before
    Esmeralda, before la lotería
    516
    A huge flash of lightning lit my window purplewhite,
    and a great whooping gust of gale rode that
    electricity in from the Gulf, driving rain against
    the glass so hard I thought (in the part of my
    mind still capable of thought) that it must surely
    breakA munitions dump exploded directly overhead
    And beneath me the murmur of the shells had become
    the gossip of dead things telling secrets in bone
    voicesHow could I not have heard that before?
    Dead things, yes! A ship had come here, a ship of
    the dead with rotted sails, and it had offloaded
    living corpsesThey were under this house, and
    the storm had brought them to lifeI could see
    them pushing up through the boneyard blanket of
    the shells, pallid jellies with green hair and
    seagull eyes, crawling over each other in the dark
    and talking, talking, talkingYes! Because they
    had a lot to catch up on, and who knew when the
    next storm might come and bring them to life again?
    Yet still I paintedI did it in terror and in the
    dark, my arm moving up and down so that for a
    little while there I seemed to actually be
    conducting the stormI couldn't have stoppedAnd
    at some point, Wireman Looks West was doneMy
    517
    right arm told me soI slashed my initials - EF -
    in the lower left corner and then broke the brush
    in two, using both hands to do itThe pieces I
    dropped on the floorI staggered away from my
    easel, crying out for whatever was going on to
    stopAnd it would; surely it would; the picture
    was done and surely now it would
    I came to the head of the stairs and looked down,
    and there at the bottom were two small dripping
    figuresI thought: Apple, orangeI thought, I
    win, you winThen the lightning flashed and I saw
    two girls of about six, surely twins and surely
    Elizabeth Eastlake's drowned sistersThey wore
    dresses that were plastered to their bodiesTheir
    hair was plastered to their cheeksTheir faces
    were pale horrors

    put something on the table beside the boxWhile I was
    looking at it, the pen drew the book in Pam's hand
    Couldn't read the title because the angle was
    wrongBy now my pen was adding lines between the
    window and her feetShe'd said it was snowing,
    but now the snow was overThe lines were meant to
    be sunrays
    I thought the picture was finished, but apparently
    there were two more thingsMy pen moved to the
    far left side of the paper and added the
    television, quick as a flashNew television, flat
    screen like Elizabeth'sAnd below it -
    The pen finished and fell away
    My fingers were stiffOn the other side of the
    long table, Elizabeth's doze had deepened into

    I had seen a phone in the library as well as the

    of armor, highlighted by several cunning little
    pin-spots in the ceiling, was a display of antique
    weapons: a long-barreled muzzle-loader that looked

    I could feel a warm flush pinking my cheeksMy heart had never been broken before, but it had
    also never flownIt made me shy; I had a hard time finding my voice
    “I suppose I could do that,” I whispered“If it makes you happy
    “That's not good enough, actually,” Ian disagreed“It has to makeyou happy, too
    I could only meet his gaze for a few seconds at a time; the shyness, so new and confusing to
    me, had my eyes dropping to my lap again and again
    “I… think it might,” I agreed“I think it might make me very, very happy
    Happy and sad, elated and miserable, secure and afraid, loved and denied, patient and angry,
    peaceful and wild, complete and empty… all of itI would feel everything
    Ian coaxed my face up until I looked him in the eyes, my cheeks flushing darker
    He kissed me, right in front of everyone, but I forgot the audience quicklyThis was easy and
    right, no division, no confusion, no objection, just Ian and me, the molten rock moving through
    this new body, melding it into the pact
    “I will stay,” I agreed
    And my tenth life began
    EPILOGUE
    Continued
    Life and love went on in the last human outpost on the planet Earth, but things did not stay
    exactly the same
    This was my first rebirth into a body of the same speciesI found the transfer much more
    difficult than changing planets because I had so many expectations about being human already
    in placeAlso, I'd inherited a lot of things from Petals Open to the Moon, and not all of them
    were pleasant
    I'd inherited a great deal of grief for Cloud SpinnerI missed the mother I'd never known and
    mourned for her suffering nowPerhaps there could be no joy on this planet without an equal
    weight of pain to balance it out on some unknown scale
    I'd inherited unexpected limitation

    Aaron and Brandt were talking behind me, their voices rising with excitement, answering each
    other's thoughts before the questions were spoken
    “Wait till the others hear!”
    “Think of the –”
    “We should go get some –”
    “Right now, I'm ready –”
    “Hold up,” Jeb cut Brandt off“No soul snatching until that cryotank is safely on its way into
    outer spaceRight, Wanda?”
    “Right,” I agreed in a firmer voice, hugging the tank tighter to my chest
    Brandt and Aaron exchanged sour glances
    I was going to need more alliesJared and Jeb and Doc were only three, though certainly the
    most influential three hereStill, they would need support
    I knew what this meant
    It meant talking to Ian
    Others, too, of course, but Ian would have to be one of themMy heart seemed to slump lower
    in my chest, to curl limply in on itselfI'd done many things I had not wanted to do since joining
    the humans, but I couldn't remember any this sharply and pointedly painfulEven deciding to
    trade my life for the Seeker's–that was a huge, vast hurt, a wide field of ache, but it was almost
    manageable because it was so tied up in the bigger pictureTelling Ian goodbye was a
    razor-sharp piercing; it made the greater vision hard to seeI wished there was some way, any
    way, to save him from the same pain
    The only thing worse would be telling Jared goodbyeThat one would burn and festerBecause
    hewouldn't feel painHis joy would far outweigh any small regret he might feel over me
    As for Jamie, well, I wasn't planning on facing that goodbye at all
