"We should go check it again," Reacher said. "Ourselves, just to be sure. Have him calculate counterclockwise until we do."

"That takes him nearer the church."

"He's safer nearer the church. Makes the downward angle too steep. There are wooden louvers up there round the bells. The field of fire starts about forty feet out from the base of the tower. Closer than that, he's in a blind spot."

Froelich raised her wrist and spoke to her lead agent. Seconds later they saw him ease Armstrong to his right, into a wide counterclockwise loop round the field. The new senator tagged along. The crowd changed direction and moved with them. "Now find the guy with the church keys," Reacher said.

Froelich spoke to the local police captain. Listened to his response in her ear.

"The churchwarden will meet us there," she said. "Five minutes." They got out of the car and walked across the gravel to the church gate. The air was very cold. Armstrong's head was visible among a sea of people. The sun was catching his hair. He was well out in the field, thirty feet from the tower. The new senator was at his side. Six agents close by. The crowd was moving with them, slowly changing its shape like an evolving creature. There were dark overcoats everywhere. Women's hats, mufflers, sunglasses. The grass was brown and dead from night frosts.

Froelich stiffened. Cupped her hand over her ear. Raised the other hand and spoke into her wrist microphone.

"Keep him close to the church," she said.

"State cops on the far perimeter just called in," she said. "They're worried about some guy on foot."

"Where?" Reacher asked. "In the subdivision."

"Description?"
