The hacker had wanted to meet at a certain park, at a certain time, on a certain bench. Old school. Like spies in classic movies did it sometimes. Which was fine with Wahlman. Whatever worked. Whatever would lead him to getting the information he needed.

He abandoned the pickup truck a few blocks from the park and walked the rest of the way and found the bench. It was 1:43 in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day. Warm, but not too humid. Birds were chirping and squirrels were scurrying and little kids were swinging on the swings and sliding on the slides and climbing on the jungle gyms.

Wahlman waited.

He took a deep breath. His stomach was churning, because he was getting ready to do something that could potentially get him into deeper trouble than he was already in. He was getting ready to commission an act of espionage. Which, in essence, would make him a conspirator to an act of espionage. Which would make him eligible for the death penalty, if anything went wrong.

But apparently someone in the army had already sentenced him to die anyway. Just because of who he was. Just because he was an exact genetic duplicate of a man named Jack Reacher. A military policeman whose DNA had been extracted from blood samples taken over a hundred years ago.

There had been two clones produced from those samples. Rock Wahlman, and a man named Darrell Renfro. The army had been conducting some sort of experiment, but for some reason the experiment had come to a screeching halt while Wahlman and Renfro were still toddlers. They’d been sent to different orphanages in different states. Now, almost forty years later, the army was trying to eliminate any shred of evidence that the experiment had ever taken place. Renfro had been murdered already, and Wahlman knew that he was next.

He just didn’t know why.

And he needed to know why. He needed to expose the forces behind what was happening. It was the only way that he was going to be able to survive. If it meant committing what would technically amount to a capital offense, then so be it. If it meant committing a hundred such crimes, then so be it. He was all in. He was ready to go the distance. The only other real choice was to lie down and die. And that just wasn’t going to happen. There was something in his DNA that would never allow that to happen. Not as long as he still had the strength to put up a fight.

At exactly two o’clock, a man carrying a brown leather briefcase walked up and sat on the wooden park bench, leaving a distance of approximately two feet between himself and Wahlman.

“Do you have a cigarette?” the man said.

The preselected code question.

Wahlman was still rattled from the ordeal with Boyfriend and Partner In Crime, and he couldn’t remember if he was supposed to say yes or no. A sense of panic washed over him. He was going to blow the whole deal right off the bat.
