Vague, obscure outlines—imagesA young, powerful man in uniform, driving a Jeep, stepping out, and—through the mists of Jason’s inner screen—yelling at what was left of an assault team that had returned from interdicting an ordnance route paralleling the Ho Chi Minh TrailThat same man, older, larger, had been in his binoculars only moments ago! And years ago that same man had promised suppliesAmmunition, mortars, grenades, radiosHe had brought nothing! Only complaints from Command Saigon that “you fucking illegals fed us crap!” But they hadn’tSaigon had acted too late, reacted too late, and twenty-six men had been killed or captured for nothing As if it were an hour ago, a minute ago, Bourne remembered5 out of his holster and, without warning, jabbed the barrel into the approaching noncom’s forehead “One more word and you’re dead, Sergeant The man had been a sergeant! “You bring us our requisitions by O-five-hundred tomorrow morning or I’ll get to Saigon and personally blow you into the wall of whatever whorehouse you’re frequentingDo I make myself clear or do you care to save me a trip to publicity city?
