SIXTEEN
There were two people at the kitchen counter in Mitchâs apartment alongside Reacher, and they were both mad at him.
âI canât believe you offered to sell the server.â Both of Rutherfordâs hands were clenched into fists. âYou had no right. Itâs not yours. We donât know where it is. And ten measly grand? Cerberus will be worth a hundred times that much. A thousand times.â
âI canât believe you would even think of going.â Sands threw the slip of paper on to the countertop. âItâs a trap. Itâs obvious. How can it not be?â
Reacher took a mouthful of coffee. âOK. First of all, Rusty. Donât worry. I have no intention of selling your computer thing. And Sarah, yes. Itâs almost certainly a trap. But sometimes the only way to know if the stove is hot is to touch it.â
Sands glared at him.
âSomeone smart told me that once,â he said.
âYouâre obviously not smart if youâre even considering walking into a trap.â
âI never said I was smart. Stubborn, maybe. Obstinate even, on occasion.â
âWhy offer to sell if you had no intention?â Rutherford said. âAre you going to rip Klostermann off? We canât do that. I have to live here. My reputationâs tattered enough already.â
âWeâre not ripping anyone off,â Reacher said. âIt was a test. To get a sense of how important these records are to him. Or sensitive. Or embarrassing. I named a big number and he didnât turn a hair. That tells us something. And hereâs another reason. Say Klostermann isnât what he seems to be. Say heâs somehow behind Garzaâs murder and the attempt to kidnap you. Do you want him thinking youâre not willing to play ball? This way his incentive is to keep us alive.â
âIf you care so much about being free and healthy why would you knowingly walk into an ambush?â Sands said. âAre you crazy?â
âNot in the slightest,â Reacher said. âAnd Iâm not going to walk into anything. The best way to defeat an ambush is to be there first. Which I will be. But logistics arenât the most important thing. Youâre focusing in the wrong place. Look at the note.â
Sands picked up the scrap of paper. She re-read it slowly, and checked the other side. âWhat? I donât see anything.â
âThe first two words. What do they mean?â
âRomeo, Juliet. R J. Reacher, Jack. Your name.â
âExactly. Someone made it personal. Iâm not some faceless guy who got in the way any more. Theyâre coming after me specifically. They need to understand thatâs the wrong thing to do.â
Reacher parked Martyâs car half a mile south of the factory and covered the rest of the ground on foot. He moved slowly. He stopped frequently, but never at the same interval. He never continued until he was certain no one was following. And no one was watching. The clock in his head said 10:45. Seventy-five minutes before he was due at the rendezvous. More time would have been better but experience told him seventy-five minutes would be enough. Nine times out of ten.
