Darkness fell on Manassas, Virginia.In the countryside here, the movement of various creatures hidden in the night can be heard everywhere.Byrne crept quietly through the bushes surrounding General Norman Swayne's compound.The startled bird fluttered its wings and flew out from the dark place of its perch; the crow woke up in the forest croaked in surprise, and then fell silent again, as if its mouth was gagged by some accomplice. Manassas!The key!From here, the door to the underground network of Carlos "The Jackal" can be opened.The killer wants nothing more than to kill David Webb and his family... Webb!David, get away from me!Jason Bourne shouted silently in his heart, since you can't be a killer, let me do it!

Bourne cut the thick and tall barbed wire one by one, and every effort made him realize the inevitability, and the heavy breathing and sweat dripping from the hairline further proved it.No matter how he managed to keep his body in shape, he was fifty now; what had been easy in Paris thirteen years ago—ordered to track the Jackal—was no longer easy.But this kind of thought can only be turned around in my mind, and I can't think about it endlessly.And now there was Mary, and his children--David's wife, David's children--he could do anything if he could get his mind to it!David Webb is fading from his psyche, leaving only the Predator Jason Bourne.

Cut through!He crawled into the opening, stood up, and instinctively ran the gear over with the fingers of both hands.Weapons: An automatic pistol, a CO2 pistol that fires darts; a Zeiss Ikon telescope; and a hunting knife in its sheath.That's all the Predator needs, because now he's deep behind enemy lines, and the enemies here will draw him to Carlos. Medusa.It was a motley army during the Vietnam period, gathering a bunch of unrecorded, unlicensed, unrecognized killers and misfits.They accepted the command of the Saigon Command and wandered in the jungles of Southeast Asia.This was supposed to be a firing squad, but the intelligence they gathered for Saigon exceeded what the military had gained in all the "search and destroy" operations.When Jason Bourne left Medusa, David Webb was nothing more than a memory to him—that was a scholar who also had a wife and children, but they were all killed.

General Norman Swayne had been a senior member of the Saigon Command (the only source of supplies to old Medusa).Now there was a new Medusa—an organization different from the past, it was huge; and while it now wore a rather decent cloak, it was actually evil incarnate.It scours the world for its targets, destroying the economies of entire countries at every turn, all for the benefit of a few.All activities are funded by that motley crew from years ago, money that is unrecorded, unacknowledged - has no provenance at all.Today's Medusa is a bridge to Carlos "The Jackal".The killer would find it hard to refuse the offer made by the head of the Medusa organization; and both the killer and the employer were bent on putting Jason Bourne to death.Make sure to make this happen!To do this, Bourne must learn the secrets hidden in General Swayne's compound.The general oversees all acquisitions at the Pentagon.He was in constant anxiety and had a small tattoo on the inside of his forearm.He is a member of Medusa.

Without any warning, a black Doberman came rushing through the thick leaves without a sound, full of ferocity.The drooling hound bared its fangs and pounced on his belly.Bourne quickly pulled out the air pistol from the nylon holster, and aimed a shot at the dog's head.It didn't take a few seconds for the dart to do its job.He hugged the unconscious hound and lowered it to the ground. Cut that beast's throat!Jason Bourne growled silently. no!His mental alter-ego, David Webb, protested that it wasn't the dog's fault, it was the dog handler's fault.
