Chapter 953 Going to Boston
To be honest, O'Donnell's plan may be a bit unflattering. It's just a modified version of the "Fairy Jump". Congressman Lavoie's legislative director, Daniel Boyd, is lecherous and shameless. He also likes to drive big cars. As long as he likes it, he will be able to relax. Take it easy.
Jack had a wait-and-see attitude towards this at first. After all, although the girls around him were not all stunningly beautiful, they each had their own strengths. In contrast, Dixon had some wrinkles on her neck and corners of her eyes. Too many.
But since Reacher and O'Donnell were very confident, Jack didn't say much and called Jiejie to take Dixon and Niggly to the street for emergency shopping and hair styling.
He also took Reacher and O'Donnell to find a handmade suit store to buy their outfits. Shoes were okay. You can find leather shoes of all sizes in the United States, but high-end suits were not so easy to buy. Big guys with this kind of body type can only get ready-to-wear clothing.
Their time is limited. Tonight Daniel Boyd will go to Boston to perform a fund-raising performance for the Boston Pops Orchestra. To set him up, everyone needs to dress up.
The girls' clothes are all ready-made. As long as the money is available, it is not impossible to complete the makeup and hair style within an hour, but Reacher's oversized suit took the longest.
When he walked out of the locker room with a new look, O'Donnell, who was waiting outside with Jack, whistled, "Wow, look at you, you look much more respectable now."
Reacher glanced at him angrily and did not answer the question, but Jack looked at the military boots in his hand curiously and asked, "Where are your original clothes?"
"Throw it in the trash can." Reacher said matter-of-factly.
"Throw it in the trash can? Why?" O'Donnell knew that Reacher was a pauper and had no savings at all. After receiving his pension every month, he spent as much as he could. He didn't understand why he suddenly spent so much money.
"Just picking up a pair of boots takes up one of my hands, and then picking up clothes requires a suitcase. Once I have a suitcase, I think I need a house to put the suitcases in. Looking at the empty driveway, I need to buy a car to park on it. , and you have to fill out a bunch of forms in the blink of an eye.”
Rachel's answer was quite philosophical. Jack laughed and shook his head. After paying the bill, he pushed open the store door and walked to the roadside.
Behind him, O'Donnell was still reluctant, "So a spare shirt and jacket are too cumbersome for you? Hey, psychiatrist, do you think this big guy might be a sociopath?"
Jack corrected with a smile, "First of all, I am not a psychiatrist, I study criminal psychology. Secondly, there were many people like him in the East in the past, usually called ascetics. In their view, external objects affect the heart. Obstacles to practice.”
"OK, Mr. Dervish, what do you think of the fact that Marlo Burns ran away in a hurry with her daughter, taking only a few clothes but leaving a pile of cash behind?" O'Donnell asked maliciously road.
Reacher didn't hear the malice hidden in his question. He thought carefully and replied, "I don't have a clue yet."
O'Donnell pretended to be serious and continued, "But she did take the toothbrush with her."
At this point, he suddenly showed a surprised expression and took a deep breath, "Oh, she should become a soul mate with you, right?"
"Shut up!" Reacher, whose heaviest luggage when going out was a toothbrush in his pocket, couldn't stand it, and Jack was also very amused by this stunt.
Rachel took out his bank card from his pocket and handed it to Jack, "Take this, and you can take it when my pension arrives."
Although he did not see the specific amount Jack paid, he also knew that this outfit was worth a lot of money.
Jack looked at the small card and had no intention of reaching out to take it, "If you plan to live in my house for half a year, I can build you a cabin in the garden behind the house.
If you have to make a serious calculation, the cost of just one dispatch of that Gulfstream business jet is enough to keep you without food or water for two or three years. This case has become a bit complicated now, and it has a certain relationship with me. This may require some cooperation from you. ."
Before he finished speaking, a fiery red Porsche Cayenne parked on the side of the road, followed by Jack's Firebird.
The door of the Cayenne opened, revealing a pair of slender jade legs on 10-centimeter high heels. Of course, the color of this jade was a bit darker because it belonged to Negli, who is of mixed black and white race.
The indigo swan slim skirt perfectly accentuates this eldest sister's figure. She, who is nearly 180cm tall, puts on high heels and does not look out of place even when standing in front of a big man.
Just looking at her stiff and awkward posture, one can tell that Niggli and Reacher are not used to this kind of formal dress.
"Don't say a word." Negli threatened O'Donnell, glaring at O'Donnell whose mouth had turned into an O shape.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Two words popped out of O'Donnell's mouth, "Holy shit!"
"If you open your mouth again, I will stuff the small stiletto heels of these shoes into your eyelets." Nigli awkwardly held the car door, as if his feet were not high heels but stilts.
"I just want to say that you are really beautiful like this. You two look like different people." O'Donnell flattered quickly and pointed at Reacher.
"The two of us look like idiots on a wedding cake." Reacher is very self-aware.
At this time, the Firebird following the Cayenne also opened the door. Jiejie, who was still dressed normally, got out of the car and walked around to the passenger seat to open the door. Dixon, wearing a pure black backless dress, got out of the car slowly, holding a Gucci handbag in her hand.
The upper part of this evening dress is very economical in fabric. The two straps extend from the back of the neck to the chest and gradually close together. While holding the surging waves, it also exposes as much space as possible to arouse imagination.
Jack recalled the description of Daniel Boyd's preferences in the information, and gave Jiejie a thumbs up. It was indeed a very correct choice to hand this matter over to her.
"It looks like everyone is ready. Let's go quickly. We have less than five hours." Dixon smiled and winked at Reacher, and returned to the car.
"I hope the road is not too congested. I'll drive in front." Jack took the car key of the Firebird from Jiejie, kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye to her.
"Boss, shut up and drive. Your mouth is so big that flies are about to fly into it." Nigley smiled and threw the car keys of the Cayenne to Reacher who was still in a daze.
——
Boston is one of the oldest cities in the short history of the United States. It was founded in 1630, nearly a century and a half earlier than the official founding of the United States.
That year, the Ming Dynasty in the East had not yet collapsed, and Emperor Chongzhen had just ascended the throne for less than 3 years, and it was still 14 years before he hung himself on the crooked tree.
There is a district in the center of Boston that is famous for its many theaters, so it is directly called the Theater District. All the people who come and go here are well-dressed gentlemen and ladies.
The protagonist of this mission is Dixon, and Nigley is responsible for surveillance. The three men can only wait outside the theater. Now is not the time for them to appear.
Fortunately, there is a cafe opposite the theater. Although it is a bit strange for three men in suits to drink coffee together, it is better than standing on the roadside like a wooden stake and blowing the cold wind.
"I didn't expect you to keep in touch with that 'wool man'." Reacher adjusted his tie awkwardly.
Jack couldn't help laughing when he heard the nickname Reacher gave Finlay, "I suggest you keep a certain respect when you meet him, he is now the inspector of the serious crime team."
They were talking about Oscar Finlay, of course. Since they parted in Margrave Town, this short black detective returned to Boston and continued to be a detective.
After Jack joined the BAU, he also dealt with him in the "Boston Death" case.
That was the most dangerous case the BAU team had ever experienced. Hotchner almost died, and Finlay was also shot twice, but fortunately they were blocked by the bulletproof plate, but it was also a blessing in disguise, and he was promoted after the case was over.
