The Return of Outside Reading

In the latest section of The Bourne Supremacy, Bourne foils his imposter's plot to kill the crown governor of the Peoples Rebuplic of China. The crown govenor is going to give a speech and after talking with the frenchman, Bourne learns that his imposter has recently taken a contract to kill the crown govenor. Bourne is in a time crunch to figure out how his imposter plans to kill him in such a high security location without getting caught or getting killed himself. Pretending to be an anti-terrorist expert, Bourne blends in with the security at the air port where the speech will be takiong place. Bourne is flabergasted by all the security and thinks that attempting a kill would be almost impossible like when Bourne says, "The odds were overwhelmingly against. Suicide...Yet it was these same heavenly negative odds that the imposter-killer found irresistible" (ludlum 509). Bourne goes on to realize that maybe the imposter intends to kill not only the crown govenor, but his close staff that will be attending the speech too. Bourne gets to the arriving limo with them in it in just enough time to evacuate them before the explosion. Bournes only objective now is to find his imposter in order to save his wife Marie.
Marie's friend Staples is captured by the American embassey in the beggining of this section. The embassey explains to Staples that they had no intention of hurting Marie and that they only used her to get to Bourne. As amoral as this plan was, they are using Bourne to catch this imposter because he is the only man fit for the job. The government pleads to Staples to bring in Marie because if Bourne does his job and the word gets out that Marie is no where to be found, Bourne will come after those in charge of the operation, most likeley leaving none alive. Even with realizing the gravity of the situation, Marie is outragged by the situation that she and her husband are being forcibley put through like whe she says, "Have you any idea what you've done to us? It's barbaric and i mean that in the full ugliness of the word" (Ludlum 523). However, even with her outrage, Marie decides that she will stay with the American embassey until this imposter is brought to justice and her husband can return.
