LEGACY

CH:2- The Call

Marie Web opened her eyes in the early morning finding that she was alone in the bed and that David was up long time before her. Standing up she stretched running her hand through her auburn hair and paddled out from the bedroom toward the kitchen.

There was no sight of David at the moment Marie thought that he was already at work but then it hit her, of course it was Saturday and he was not at work unless something came up that he had to go.

After quick shower and change she stepped out on the terrace that overlooked that sea in the distance. It was beautiful morning and she breathed in deeply the scent of the pines and sea salt closing eyes as she relaxed.

Standing like that Marie had not heard the footsteps approaching her nor she opened her eyes when the pair of the warm arms came to circle around her waist pulling her closer. Marie already knew who it was and smiled opening her eyes as she gazed at the deep and gentle eyes of her husband.

"Good morning my love," David whispered gently kissing the top of her head.

"I had heard you waking up," she replied smiling." Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I had no heart to do such thing. You slept so peacefully." blue eyes gazed back at her own brown ones as David fingers were playing with her loose slightly dump tresses.

As she gazed back at the loving eyes of her husband, Marie let her mind slip back and she remembered it well. No matter David was so loving to her and her soul mate, there was also Jason Bourne the deadly killer that was other side of her husband the one that she did not to think about and yet she knew he was there no matter

David no longer acted as Jason Bourne. Marie knew that Jason never sleeps and only he would return in the case something would threaten her or David. The quiet moment was broken with he phone ringing and once again Marie was released as David walked back into the house to pick the receiver.

"Web," he spoke firmly as the voice replied back.

"Stop playing Web and listen what I have to say to you. I have some news that I do not think you might like to hear." Alex spoke back his voice was firm as well.

There was a moment of the silence then David was suddenly pushed back as Jason took the charge once again.

" What is it now Alex?" the voice was different somehow and Alex was sure that it was Jason once again.

" You better come to my place. I have something to show you that you might not like at all." then Alex hung up leaving Jason slightly confused.

Setting the receiver on the right place he turned around and found Marie in the room staring back at him. He was sure he saw the fear again appear in her eyes for she understood who it was.

"No, " she whispered gazing back at Jason once again." why?"

"I am sorry, but it seems I have to do this once again." Deep inside of him Jason was sure hearing David protest again but he blocked him out." I will be back soon as I can."

Marie remained standing in the living room watching him leave and not moving at all. Jason drove to Alex's place and once as he parked and approached the apartment building he found Alex standing at the doorstep waiting for him.

"This is it for you," he handled him the envelope." I am not sure if you want to see or do this but it is up to you I am not standing on your way. Call me when you are done."

The door slammed shut behind the figure and Jason walked toward the car slipping inside once again as he opened the envelope allowing its continents to fall on his lap. All he found was several photographs of young woman in her early twenties taken in the different times and days but the city was the same Paris.

The young woman had a striking resemblance of Marie same color of hair and eyes but she had his height nearly to six feet and she was graceful and very beautiful. It was not the beauty of the young woman that strike Jason back but the name at the other side of the photograph: Marie Helene Bourne...
