It?s a labyrinthine enterprise, brilliantly executed, and we?ve both profited from itYou?ve sold us
anything we?ve wanted or needed for years, including every major item on your government?s
restricted lists under so many names our computers broke down trying to keep track of them insisted the Wall Street attorney emphatically
?I?m not interested in such proof, CounselorI?m only interested in the names I mentioned to
youIn order, they are Admiral Holland, Alexander Conklin, DrPanov and, lastly, Jason Bourne
and his wifePlease tell me about them
?Why?? pleaded Ogilvie?I?ve just explained they have nothing to do with you and me, nothing
to do with our arrangements!?
?We think they might have, so why not start with Admiral Holland??
?Oh, for God?s sake !? The agitated lawyer shook his head back and forth, stammered several
times and let the words rush out?Holland?all right, you?ll seeWe recruited a man at the CIA,

?I had Comrade Krupkin do thatHe?s in a Moscow hospital, so they can?t lock him up here for
training fatigue
?How can I cross over into another compound? Quickly, if necessary
?Then you?re ready for the rest of the ground rules??
?I?m readyThere?s only so much these maps can tell me Benjamin reached into his pocket and withdrew a small black object the size of a credit
card but somewhat thickerHe tossed it to Jason, who caught it in midair and studied it?That?s
your passport,? continued the Soviet?Only the senior staff has them and if one?s lost or misplaced
for even a few minutes, it?s reported immediately
?There?s no ID, no writing or marking at all
?It?s all inside, computerized and codedEach compound |

His lips opened
a few times, and then he thought better of whatever he was going to say
I laid my chin on my knees and waited as he struggledMy patience was rewarded
?That planet you were coming from before you were in Melanie,? he finally said?What was it
like there? Was it like here??
The direction of his thoughts caught me off guardWith only Jamie here, it felt
right to speak normally instead of whispering?No, it was very different
?Will you tell me what it was like?? he asked, cocking his head to one side the way he used to
when he was really interested in one of Melanie's bedtime stories
I told him all about the See Weeds' waterlogged planetI told him about the two suns, the
elliptical orbit, the gray waters, the unmoving permanence of roots, the stunning vistas of a
thousand eyes, the endless conversations of a million soundless voices that all could hear
He listened with wide eyes and a fascinated smile

| Pole aboard Tanker Hijacked by Somali Pirates |
[Feb. 3rd, 2010|02:54 pm] |
"A Polish chief engineer is aboard a British-flagged chemical tanker hijacked by Somali pirates on Monday, Foreign Ministry deputy press spokesman Grzegorz Jopkiewicz said on Tuesday.
Jopkiewicz told TVN 24 television that the British ship owner had already phoned the Pole's family.
The U.K.-flagged St James Park tanker was the first merchant vessel to be hijacked in the Gulf of Aden in nearly six months. The ship issued a distress message on Monday, seeking help after it was attacked.
The tanker set sail from Spain and was headed for Thailand. Its crew comes also from the Philippines, Russia, Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, India and Turkey.
An estimated 25,000 ships annually cruise the Gulf of Aden, off Somalia's northern coast. The Gulf of Aden has the highest risk of piracy in the world, with more than 10 ships and 200 crew members still being held by Somali pirates
