exploded from the outer darkness, the bullets ripping open the throats of the two Oriental
messengersThe CIA men lunged to the ground, rolling for cover as Conklin grabbed Panov,
pulling him down to the path in front of the bench for protectionThe unit from Langley lurched to
their feet and, like the combat veterans they were, including the former commando Director Peter
Holland, they started scrambling, zigzagging one after another toward the source of the gunfire,

apiece and got out—look at the slip marks on the lawnThose shoes were runningForget it! No
use nowIf they stopped for a second position, they’d blow us into the Smithsonian
“A field man,” said Alex, getting up with his cane, the frightened, bewildered Panov beside him
Then the doctor spun around, his eyes wide, rushing toward the two fallen Orientals
“Oh, my God, they’re dead,” he cried, kneeling beside the corpses, seeing their blown-apart
