Jack Reacher Page #3

am gonna beat your ass

Do you want to do it here or outside?

Outside..

Stay here Sandy

I do not mind the sight of blood

Well.. it means you are

not pregnant anyway.

You still think you are funny now creep?

Shut your mouth Sandy.

No one is talking to you

It's your last chance to walk away

Are you kidding, it's five against one.

It's three against one

How do you figure it?

Once I take out the leader, which is you..

I will have to contend with one

or two enthusiastic wingmen

The last two guys. they always run

Have you done this before?

It's getting late

Remember, you wanted this

Okay, you are okay

Ok, now we know who is who

Let's get this done

Really???

On the ground

That's a pretty impressive

response time fellows.

Do it.

Your hands behind your back

Who hired you?

Hey Helen

Am I wearing too much perfume?

Breathing too sternly..

Detective Emmersson, somebody dead??

And if someone is?

Then they died of shame,

I still don't understand why

you move around a lot Reacher?

So no one is dead

One guy I doubt will

ever walk right again.

You want to charge me

very much.

But no one is pressing?

Sadly, no.

Am I free to go?

Hey Emmersson, 4862681

What is that?

It's the Serial Number.

Barr's Rifle

You are working for me,

you understand that? So,

everything you do is a

reflection on my firm, on me

You are talking to a lawyer

There was this girl , she came

on to me, picked the fight.

Which never happens in a bar.- She was

thrown when I told her my name

She was expecting Mike Tyson?

She wasn't expecting Jimmy Reese.

Yankee Second base

Why would you say you are

a yankee second base man?

I always use Yankee second base men, I

didn't say I was a Yankee second base man,

I just said... Look the point is

She was expecting to hear Jack

Reacher, she knew who I was,

and the cops were rolling

before the fight even started

Those five guys are her brothers ?? Come

on, someone sent those boys to put me down

Who?

If someone followed you at the river today,

it was probably a cop and I highly doubt...

There are three things Cops never

do, they don't vote Democrats,

they don't drive Cadillacs and

they never use personal vehicles.

It's not a cop

PI then or the DA's office?

Do you think your father's

office would set me up?

Why would anyone set you up?

How was your day?

It went exactly the way I think

you hoped it would

Are you okay?

What did you learn?

Chrissy Farrior was 22.

A nanny caring for the 6 year

old daughter of family friends

She had finally saved

enough money for a trip to

China, in fact she should

have left the week before.

But the girl Crissie cared for wanted

her to stay for her seventh birthday

They had gone downtown to

shop for a party dress

Rita Coronado worked as a cleaning

lady at the Rivercross Plaza

she was usually late for work,

but she had a good reason.

Since her son Marco was 9 years

old she had to personally

drop him at school to make

sure he actually went

but her dedication paid off,

Marco was now an honour student

As a reward for all his hardwork Rita was

taking him to his first baseball game

And she was on her way to pick up

the tickets that very afternoon

Nancy Holt's last words

to her husband were a lie

she told him she was

taking her car to be

serviced, but in fact

she was headed downtown

She told the clerk she didn't want the

purchase showing upon her credit card.

She wanted to surprise her husband

for their tenth anniversary

Just a few days away

Oline Archer never liked her husband's

construction business, even

after helping him become one of the

largest contractors in the county.

So it came as a relief when his

failing helped and a costly

lawsuit which forced him to

sell to his competition.

Her husband had given his

life for the company.

But now that it was hers, she

couldn't bring herself to let it go.

She was on her way to

secure a loan that day, so

she could keep the business

she'd always hated.

Darren Sawyer was an investment broker

in the same building where Rita worked.

His wife said that he had grown

increasingly distant of late. She can't

remember their last words to one

another, but they weren't kind.

Darren's body was found beside a fresh

bouqet of roses he bought that morning.

His wife takes comfort

in the fact that in his

last moments he was most

likely thinking of her.

We are gonna be okay,

we are gonna be okay...

we are gonna be okay..

So what did you learn?

You want me to say you were right, you

want me to say this isn't the fight.

James Barr should

die, maybe he should

I meant what did you

learn about the victims?

What more do you want, they

were five innocent people

senslesly murdered. I am sorry

could please put a shirt on.

This is my shirt.

You lose your luggage?

I don't have any luggage.

Eh..What was I saying?

Five innocent people.

Murdered at random .. yes..

You know how many people die

in this country every year?

means everyday roughly

wake up for the last time.

Last Friday, five of them converged on a

single spot died together, is that random?

What else would you call it?

Take Darren and Nancy

Odds are they were having an affair

Excuse me?

You do not buy roses for your wife on the

way to work, you buy them on the way home

And you don't worry about the

charge showing upon your

credit card when your

anniversary is that weekend

unless it's the gift you are hiding.

That's why she kept walking

While everyone else ran.

You can't prove that.

How hard will it be?

Cell phones, e-mails...

All it takes is someone willing to dig.

What is your point exactly?

My point is that two of the victims

weren't there strictly by chance

I need a list of Barr's known associates

There isn't one.

He didn't have any. He

is the classic loner,

he didn't even talk

to his neighbours

Quiet man, never bothered anyone

Yeah exactly.

Do you have his credit card statement?

I can get it, why?

I need the list of all the places he hung

out, bars, bowling alleys, strip clubs

gun ranges, anywhere someone

would remember him.

What do you hope to find?

I need some sleep.

You too.

You don't really think I am gonna...

You'll be back to pick me after 7 ?

Yeah... absolutely

Who's with you?

What happened?

Oh.. that's him ain't he?...

i didn't see u man...

Relax.. what happened?

Barr's attorney hired an

investigator, name's Reacher

Some sort of top shelf army

cop, was in bahgdad with Barr

So?

So Barr asked for this

soldier by name, and he

shows up at the river

today, and up at the higway

almost like he knew something

You said you don't like

people asking questions

No, I sure don't So I took steps

You took steps??

Local people, my guys

And it blew back on you?

I figured five guys would do

This franchise was yours to manage

Maintenance is our thing, you understand?

I understand, I couldn't reach you.

Well that's how this works

I had to make a decision
