    Rhett was living at his mother's house, but he was out of town"Gone
    North," Pauline said, with a sour expression"But for good reason,
    Sister," Eulalie reminded her"He's in Philadelphia buying back some
    of the family silver that the Yankees stole"It's
    a joy to see how devoted he is to his mother's happiness, finding all
    the things that she lost This time Eulalie was the critic"He
    could have shown some of that devotion a lot sooner, if you ask me
    Scarlett didn't askShe was busy with her own thoughts, which were
    concentrated on wondering how soon she could go up to bedNo
    sleeplessness would plague her tonight, she was sure of itNow that she'd taken her life in her own hands and was on
    her way to getting what she wanted, she could sleep like a babyShe
    woke in the morning with a sense of wellbeing that she hadn't felt for
    yearsShe was welcome at her aunts', not shunned and lonely like in
    Atlanta, and she didn't even have to think yet about what she'd say to
    Rhett when she saw him
    She could relax and be spoiled a little while she waited for him to get
    back from PhiladelphiaHer aunt Eulalie punctured Scarlett's bubble
    before she'd finished her first cup of breakfast coffee"I know how
    anxious you must be to see Carreen, honey, but she only has visitors
    on
    Tuesdays and Saturdays, so we've planned something else for today
    Carreen! Scarlett's lips tightenedShe didn't want to see her at
    all, the traitorGiving her share of Tara away as if it meant nothing
    at all But what was she going to say to the aunts? They'd never
    understand that a sister wouldn't be just dying to see another
    sister
    Why, they even live together, they're so closeI'll have to pretend I
    want to see Carreen more than anything in the world and get a
    headache

    Foreign Legion was imbued with an automatic reflex where orders were concerned; he followed
    them blind drunk or blind soberJason hoped so; it was not mandatory, but he could use their
    assistance—if, if, the bartender at Le Coeur du Soldat had been sufficiently intrigued by the
    excessive sums of money, as well as by a solitary conversation with a cripple he could obviously
    kill with one tattooed arm
    Bourne waited in the street, the wash of the streetlights diminishing in the alley, fewer and fewer
    people going in or coming out, those arriving in better shape than those departing, all passing Jason
    without a glance at the derelict weaving against the brickTank Shirt pulled the much younger Field Jacket through the heavy door, and
    at one point after the door had swung shut, slapped the American across the face, telling him in
    unclear words to follow orders, for they were rich and could become much richer
    “It is better than being shot in Angola!” cried the former légionnaire, loud enough for Bourne to
    hear“Why did they do that?”
    Jason stopped them at the entrance to the alley, pulling both men around the edge of the brick
    building“It’s me,” he said, his voice commanding!”
    “What the Gawdamn hell !”
    “Be quiet! You can make another five hundred francs tonight, if you want toIf not, there are
    twenty other men who will

    “And Ah could bust your ass for scarin’ us like thay-atBut mah buddy’s right, we’re

    “Taisez-vous!”
    “That means shut up,” explained BourneI hear it a lot—”
    “Listen to meWithin the next few minutes the bartender in there may come out looking for me
    He may, he also may not, I simply don’t knowHe’s the large bald man wearing glassesDo either
    of you know him?”
    The American shrugged, but the Belgian nodded his floating head, his lips flat until he spoke
    “His name is Santos and he is espagnol
    “Spanish?”
    “Or latino-américain
    Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, thought JasonCarlos the Jackal, Venezuelan by birth, rejected terrorist,
    whom even the Soviets could not handleOf course he would return to his own“How well do you
    know him?”
    It was the Belgian’s turn to shrug“He is the complete authority where Le Coeur du Soldat is

    control despite the fact that they were one of the most precious of her secrets–because of the
    urgency of her discovery
    In this blurry early memory, Melanie sat in her father's lap with the same album–not so tattered
    then–open in her handsHer hands were tiny, her fingers stubbyIt was very strange to
    remember being a child in this body
    They were on the first page
    “Do you remember where this is?” Dad deville watch asks, pointing to the old gray picture at the top of the
    pageThe paper looks thinner than the other photographs, as if it has worn down–flatter and
    flatter and flatter–since some great-great-grandpa took it
    “It's where we Stryders come from,” I answer, repeating what I've been taughtThat's the old Stryder ranchYou went there once, but I bet you don't remember itI
    think you were eighteen months old“It's been Stryder land since the very
    beginning”
    And then rolex watches for sale the memory of the picture itselfA picture she'd looked at a thousand times without
    everseeing itIt was black and white, faded to graysA small rustic wooden house, far away on
    the other side of a desert field; in the foreground, a split-rail fence; a few equine shapes between
    the fence and the houseAnd then, behind it all, the sharp, familiar profile…
    There were words, a label, scrawled in pencil across the top white border:
    Stryder Ranch, 1904, in the louis vuitton logo morning shadow of…
    “Picacho Peak,” I said quietly
    He'll have figured it out, too, even if they never found SharonI know Jared will have put it
    togetherHe's smarter than me, and he has the picture; he probably saw the answer before I
    did
    The thought had her so filled with yearning and excitement that the blank wall in my head
    slipped entirely
    I saw the whole journey now, saw her and Jared's and Jamie's careful trek across the country,
    always by night in their replica cartier inconspicuous stolen vehicleI saw where she'd left them
    in a wooded preserve outside the city, so different from the empty desert they were used toThe
    cold forest where Jared and Jamie would hide and wait had felt safer in some ways–because the
    branches were thick and concealing, unlike the spindly desert foliage that hid little–but also
    more dangerous in its unfamiliar smells and sounds
    Then the separation, a memory so painful we skipped through it, Chanel Purse flinch
