Part 3, Chapter 30 Summary

Deciding that he needs more information, Bourne calls d’Anjou himself. When d’Anjou answers, he calls Bourne “Delta.” It is the first time that Bourne has heard the name spoken aloud, confirming the flashbacks that he has been having.


Bourne proposes a meeting with d’Anjou outside the Louvre. All he wants from him is information about Treadstone. He even advises him to call the new point of contact for Carlos. In exchange for information, Bourne promises d’Anjou to give him Carlos’s identity. D’Anjou is hesitant but agrees to meet. Bourne thinks of how he is setting up a “reverse trap.”


At the Louvre, Bourne tells the taxi driver to get in line behind other taxis that are waiting for fares. He spots two vehicles on opposite ends of the square, communicating via antennas on their roofs. He instructs the taxi driver to pull up parallel to one. Bourne shoots out the back windows and then tells the driver to drive away quickly. At the last second, Bourne gets out of the vehicle and hides behind other taxis. The vehicle follows the taxi.


Bourne runs back across the square. He sees two men approaching d’Anjou, having gotten out of the other sedan.
