The Jackal Page #4

All right, just the chance then.

Your best efforts to get me free.

I'll settle for your word on it.

Sorry.

So the Jackal's after your director, is he?

Tell him to get his affairs in order...

...because nobody can save him now.

Nobody except me. Because I met him.

Yeah, didn't I mention it?

I can identify him by his face,

given the opportunity...

...but more importantly, by his methods.

So you can leave Isabella out of this.

Did you work with him?

With him? No. No way.

Do you have a problem with this man?

That's between him and me.

Isabella Zancona

is the only confirmed contact we have...

...and we will find her.

With or without your help.

Okay.

I want three things.

One:
Get me out of here.

- I'm no use to you sitting here on my ass.

- What's to keep you from taking off?

Nothing.

Except I give you my word.

Two:
I go with you to meet Isabella.

Why?

I want to see her, is all.

And the third thing?

A decent razor.

Here's how it'll go, Mulqueen.

You will be searched on a random

schedule. If we turn up a paper clip...

...that hasn't been authorized, I'll send

you back. Same for using the phone.

- What? You don't trust me?

- As far as I can throw you.

But I have little choice.

If you've got any thoughts

about an IRA snatch...

...we'll shoot to kill, them and you.

And not necessarily in that order.

Understand?

I heard you.

Go along and we'll get along.

I'm gonna keep a real good eye on you.

Miss Koslova, is it?

What would your first name be then?

Major.

Major Koslova.

A wee bit rusty, that's all.

Subassembly of titanium,

as light as the stresses will allow.

The arm's got to traverse 270 degrees.

Feed and drive mechanisms

run on 210 amp servos.

The whole thing's has to run off 12-volt DC.

Yeah, it's a car battery. That's cool.

- How much weight is the arm supporting?

- Fifty-five kilograms.

It's a big f***er, yeah?

Hey, you want one?

No.

I'm gonna want this in eight days.

I can do that.

How much?

Well, the titanium's gonna be a problem.

It's a listed material up here.

It's gonna take time, a little more money.

$50,000?

I mean, like, $40,000.

All right. Half now, half on delivery.

This sucker's definitely

gonna kick some ass, yeah?

Get this straight.

When you finish this unit, you'll turn over

the plans and scrap material.

You'll forget about Charlie Murdock

and the tech specs on these plans.

Sh*t, man, I'm cool.

Relax.

All right.

Are you nervous?

Eight years. That's a lifetime, isn't it?

Hello.

- Mr. Decker, is it?

- Yes.

Hello there. I'm Declan Mulqueen.

This is Major Koslova.

- How do you do?

- Hi.

We'd like to speak to your wife.

Someone to see you.

I'll take the kids out back.
