Jack Reacher Page #6

like I am an accessory

Oh Lord.. Come on enough

You are both done .. just get out

This is Helen

I am guessing the police are there

Yeah

By your response

I am guessing I have

about 30 seconds before

you hang up the phone

Is that?

If you believe someone

can frame Barr, you

have to believe they

can do the same to me

I suppose that's possible

She was a sweet kid Helen

and they killed her because of me

They want me to run, but I won't

I am going to finish this.

No, that's not a good idea

Listen. two things.. One.. I stole your car

If you want to end this,

just hang up the phone

and report it missing,

I will understand

and any thing else?

I thought I would be pushing if I mentioned

this earlier, now I guess all bets are off

you need to watch what

you say to Emmersson or

your father I think one

of them is in on it.

Allright, thanks for calling. I have to go.

Wait, I have been followed from day one

Only three people knew I was here,

Emmerson, your father and you

You need to ask yourself, who has

the most to lose, if we clear Barr?

He will try to warn you off me

Of course I could be wrong, if you

think I am, just hand over the phone

No sense getting into it any deeper

Who's that you are talking to?

The office

Are we done?

Helen, listen..

Good night.

You got some fine shooters here

Finer folks here, rare too

coz most of them fellows out

there can't shoot worth a damn

you ask them to put three rounds in

a black round... they will suck it

Am looking for the owner.

That'll be me. Martin Cash

Arren Ward.

What can I do for you Mr. Ward?

I am looking for a friend

of mine, we served in Iraq

guy just dropped out of the grid you know..

That happens..

Anyway he was a shooter.

Last I heard he lived around

here somewhere.. When did

you get out of the army?

I didn't say the army

Well you said you served

there, you know jarhead

Man on a flying horse could see that

Well my father was in the

court, if that helps

Makes you happy aint it?

Hay your friend got a name?

Yeah, james Barr.

James Barr.. Never heard of him

Thank you

I think you have been dreading the moment

some cops come in asking after him,

because it's for sure some soccer

mom around here is more worried

about your range than she's

about the pool in her backyard,

has the drain cleaned under her sink?

Wouldn't matter it hurts

Barr did his killing about a

hundred miles away, only that

he came here to rehearse,

she will have a case to shut you down

and nothing better to do

What do you want?

I want to know who Barr's friends were

Those boys out there,

they are mighty touchy

when it comes to their

constitutional rights

Suppose I tell them a cop is in

here asking after my members

I'm not a cop.

What are you?

I work for Barr's attorney, we have

reason to believe he is innocent

The hell you say !!

Be that as it may. I am the only one

who bothered to track him this far

If you help me out, I will be in your debt

And if I don't?

Maybe you can coach soccer

You put three in the center

and maybe we will talk..

Can I have a few to warm up

That's you marker Mr. Ward..

Play ball!! Let's go

You are little rusty, Mr Reacher

I saw a man by that name

shoot for the Wilden cup

about ten years ago

and I am pretty sure you never

played second base for the Yankees

In 1925

I will answer one question

Who is your best shooter?

James Barr

I pulled all this down as soon

as I heard about the shootings.

The three best shots I have seen

on this side of the civilian life.

Suppose I told you Barr wasn't this

good on his best day in the army?

I handed out those myself,

that's my scroll on everyone

You hang them down range too?

Are you serious?

I am saying it's possible

if Barr had a friend,

one who switched the

targets in the range

or let him, made him feel like king

sh*t to have his name up on your wall.

I have never seen one real shooter

who would do that for his own mother

Unless he was framing his

mother for multiple murder

and using your range to do it

Barr didn't come alone, did he?

One of these nuts is likely to kill

you when they find that camera there

Hell, the camera is there because one

of these nuts is likely to kill me

There's Barr... I always liked him

There, him.

Son of a b*tch

Helen Rodin speaking

Got a positive for out shooter,

picture, possible prints

one pissed off eyewitness

I can't talk right now

it's gonna be three hours to get back, and

don't talk to anyone untill I get back.

I'll look into that, thanks.

This is just what I could

pull this morning,

tax records, city and state permit

applications, contract bids,

Shaw corporation in Georgia, that's

the one next to Russia not Florida.

They work one city at a time,

acquiring a local construction

concern just ahead of major

civic redevelopment,

they build bridges no one

needs, highways no one uses

they are like a cancer,

a cell that won't stop growing

They moved 12 times in 15 years,

Atlanta, Albuquerque, Austin

Oklahoma City, Sacramento, always

amidst allegations of corruption

including millions of Dollars

in missing public funds

and yet never an investigation,

never even an enquiry!

It's as if Lebendauer

Enterprises were above reproach

Well, maybe that's because

the allegations come from the competition

Out of Bitterness, like Oline Archer

or maybe Lebendauer has tha

coperation of key officials

and maybe when that coperation isn't enough

they kill people who won't be bought off

like Oline Archer Come on Helen.. How

much of this does you honestly believe?

It doesn't matter how much I believe

It doesn't even matter how much I can

prove, it only matters how much is true

Do you know how delusional you sound?

What happened to you? Are

you really so set on

putting this man to

death that you'd ignore

with all these paper under

my own name, if Jack Reacher

is right my life, your

daughter's life is in danger now

Whatever happens to me next is on your head

You are the district attorney and

I've given you compelling evidence

to investigate Lebendauer Enterprises

Your next move will tell

me which side you are on

I say.. it's a test

This may be hard for you to

believe, but I do love you

and obviously I will turn a blind eye

no matter how absurd I find all of this

If you really believe you are in danger

And if you believe that

the next order of business is to put

you in protective custody right now

How safe will I be if you are a part of it

Jesus Helen

Businessman or personal

hard to tell them apart

I bet

Helen?

No

Sorry, Wrong Number

Mr. Reacher

Who's this?

Is this Reacher?

It's you...

The guy from the car

It's your boyfriend

Reacher, is that you?

Helen, are you hurt? No, she's gonna

be if you are not here in one hour.

Got to tell you how this works?

You walk me around and

make sure I am not

followed, then walk me

into an ambush and kill me

you ruined my surprise.
