And then, Ivan Jax! The brilliant black doctor from Jamaica ladies watches gucci phoned, telling him he wanted to put Norman Swayne’s body back where he had found it because he did not want to be loused up by another Agency fiascoBut it was not Agency, cried Conklin to himself, unable to explain to Ivan Jax the real reason he had asked for his helpAnd Jax could not simply drive the corpse back to Manassas because the police, on federal orders—the orders of one retired field agent using appropriated codes he was not entitled to use—had sealed off General Norman Swayne’s estate without explanation “What do I do with the body?” Jax had yelled “Keep it cold for a while, Cactus would want it that way “Cactus?
