They ate an early dinner in the hotel, Reacher somewhat dutifully, in obedience to his motto, which said eat when you can, because you never knew the next chance. By comparison, Trent ate eagerly. Reacher formed the impression he had been hungry at one time in his life. Maybe as a boy.

Then they stepped out back. The sentry was an MP two-striper, in the new battledress uniform, a pistol on his belt, a cap on his head, an amiable expression on his face, almost jocular, as if there was no us and them, just all soldiers together, and the sentry bullshit was just a formality, like a charade.

Reacher hit him under the chin with a right-hand uppercut. Then he took his gun. Then he wrapped the guy up with duct tape from a service closet. Will Trent didn’t like it. A cop for sure. Maybe a human rights lawyer.

Then Reacher walked back through the lobby and did the same thing with the front sentry. Two guns now. Then he stole their car. A drab green Charger, fully loaded. He got right in and started it up. Trent stayed about nine feet away. They spoke through the window.

Reacher said, “There’s a Supreme Court ruling. They call it imperfect necessity. It can be okay to commit a small crime to stop a big crime.”

“Can be?”

“I’m sure it depends. These people are lawyers. They want to keep working.”

Trent didn’t answer.

“I’m going now,” Reacher said. “I can’t afford to miss her.”

Trent got in.
