KASEY STEERED INTO the parking lot, pulled around to the front entrance and stopped at the curb.

“It’s not a very big library,” she said.

“That’s okay,” Wahlman said. “I just want to use one of the computers for a while.”

“Let me guess. You’re going to look Dr. Surrey up and make sure he’s not some kind of mad scientist.”

Wahlman laughed. “That’s not what I had in mind, but it’s not a bad idea. You’d have to trust someone quite a bit for something like that.”

“Something like what?”

“Watching you sleep. Especially if there’s some kind of drug involved.”

“I don’t think there is. It’s the psych department. They probably just hook some wires up to your head or something.”

“That’s comforting.”

“It’s two hundred dollars a night,” Kasey said. “Just for sleeping. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could.”

“I’m thinking about it,” Wahlman said.

“Are you going to call him?”

“Probably.”

“Don’t forget to tell him I sent you.”

“I won’t.”

“And let me know how it goes.”

“How can I do that?”

“You can call me.”

Kasey started digging around in her center console. Wahlman figured she was looking for a pen.

“You don’t have to write it down,” he said. “Just tell me. I have a good memory.”

She told him the number.

“You can call me even if you don’t participate in the study,” she said. “You know, if you just want to hang out for a while or something.”

“You’re very nice,” Wahlman said.

“Not everyone in Barstow is like those three guys at the diner.”

“Good to know.”

“Call me.”

“I will.”

Wahlman climbed out of the car and walked into the library. He stopped at the circulation desk and got a guest pass, and then he sat down at one of the desktop computers and logged on to the internet. He’d been trying to gather some information on a former army officer named Jack Reacher—who probably wasn’t the actual reason he’d been targeted, but whose history might provide some clues as to why, and some clues as to who exactly might have ordered the hit.

That was what he was hoping for, anyway.

Someone was out to get him. That was for sure. Someone in the army, supposedly. Probably not just one person. Probably a rogue outfit led by a rogue colonel or general. That was his guess, and he figured that exposing the culprits and blowing the whole thing wide open in the media would be his best chance of putting a stop to it.

But first he had to find out who the culprits were, and why they were trying to kill him. He couldn’t just call one of the major newspapers and tell them that some people in the army were trying to kill him. They probably got dozens of calls like that every day. The more persistent callers probably ended up in nice restful rooms somewhere. He couldn’t go to the police, because of the arrest warrant in Louisiana. If he went to the police, a different kind of room would be waiting for him. One with bars.

So he needed information.

Which, so far, had been hard to come by.
