Caught Up

I'm caught up in the tangled web which is Jason Bourne's life. Oh! it is so exciting! it is like John Grisham, maybe better, most deffinently exciting. My mother might say it was "A little more than you can handle." but i think i'm handling it quite well. aside from withdrawal from lack of sleep and symptoms of wanting to become an undercover.... undercover what?? I still don't know what he is!! he still doesn't know what he is!!! I cannot seem to read fast enough!! he is my knew idol though.... constantly running for your life.... not knowing who you are.... what you've done in your past.... all you know is someone, for some reason.... wants you dead.

"You appear to be a mass of contradictions," Dr Washburn said. "There's a subsurface violence almost always in control, but very much alive. There's also a pensiveness that seems painful for you, yet you rarely give vent to the anger that pain must provoke."
"You're provoking it now," said the man.
"And we'll continue to do so, as long as there's progress."
"I wasn't aware any progress had been made."
"Not in terms of identity or and occupation, But we are finding out what's most comfortable for you, what you deal with best. It's a little frightening."
"In what way?"
"Let me give you an example." The doctor put the clipboard down and got out of the chair. He walked to a primitive cupboard against the wall, opened a drawer, and took out a large automatic handgun. The man with no memory tensed in his chair; Washburn was aware of the reaction. "I've never used this, not sure I'd know how to, but I do live on the waterfront." He smiled, then suddenly, without warning, threw it to the man. The weapon was caught in midair, the catch clean, swift, and confident. "Break it down; I believe that's the phrase."
"What?"
"Break it down. Now."
The man looked at the gun, And then, in silence, his hands and fingers moved expertly over the weapon. In less than thirty seconds it was completely dismantled. He looked up at the doctor.

*sigh* I wanted to work for the CIA but i changed my mind because i want to be a spy for myself, not my country, i want to be hidden for my own entertainment.... AKA being back in Roredon which is basically impossible...
