Night School

a Jack Reacher Novel
Neagley pivoted around the jamb and ducked inside. Reacher followed. Long training. Smallest first, biggest last. That way both parties got an unobstructed view. And the bigger party didn’t get accidentally shot in the back. === “It doesn’t look like it’s just been cut.” “Exactly,” the guy said. “The best haircut looks like it was done a week ago.” “So I pay five bucks for a haircut that already looks grown out?” === “Eggs get broken, the omelet gets made, and if it turns out tasty, then all is forgiven.” === So all in all I felt pretty good about pulling the trigger. Like a guy taking the trash to the curb. Maybe not fun in and of itself, but afterward you have a clean and tidy garage. Which feels good. === “She has haptephobia.” “Which is what?” “A fear of being touched. The army made her see a doctor.” === Reacher eased through the crowd, gently but firmly, like a police horse at a riot.
