Chapter 953 Going to Boston
O'Donnell's plan may be a bit unflattering if you tell it to the truth. It is just a modified version of "Fairy Jump". Daniel Boyd, Congressman Lavoie's legislative director, is lustful and shameless, and he also likes to start a show. A big car can be easily handled as long as you like it.
Jack had a wait-and-see attitude at first. After all, although the girls around him were not all stunningly beautiful, they each had their own strengths. In comparison, Dickson had There are still too many wrinkles at the corners of my eyes.
But since Reacher and O'Donnell seemed quite 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 some outfits. Shoes were pretty good. You can find leather shoes of all sizes in old America, but high-end suits are not that good. Done, a big guy like Reacher 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 large-size 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. Having a suitcase makes me think of a house to put the suitcases in. Looking at the empty driveway makes me think... I bought a car and parked it, but I had to fill out a bunch of forms in the blink of an eye.”
Retcher’s answer was quite philosophical. Jack smiled and shook his head. After paying the bill, he opened the store. The door went to the curb.
O'Donnell behind him 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? Molecule?"
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, often called ascetics. From my perspective, external objects are obstacles to inner 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.
Rachel did not 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 away the toothbrush."
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 piece of luggage when going out was a toothbrush in his pocket, couldn’t hold back his expression. Jack was also very amused by this stunt.
Reacher 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 didn't see Jack paying the bill. The specific amount, but I also know that this outfit is 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 stay at my house for half a year, eating and drinking for free, I can set up a tent for you in the garden behind the house. Cabin.
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 I have a certain understanding. Relationship, 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 cm long high heels. Of course, the color of this jade is a bit darker because it belongs 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, you can tell that Niggli and Reacher are not used to this kind of formal dress.
“Don’t say a word.” Nigli threatened O’Donnell, glaring at O’Donnell whose mouth had turned into an O shape.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Two words came 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 seem like different people." O'Donnell flattered quickly and pointed at Rachel.
"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. Jie Jie, who was still dressed normally, got out of the car and walked around to the passenger to open the door. Dixon, who was wearing a pure black backless skirt, got out of the car. Holding a Gucci clutch 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 up. While covering the rough waves, it also exposes as much space as possible to attract imagination.
Jack recalled the description of Daniel Boyd's preferences in the information and gave Jiejie a thumbs up. It was indeed the right choice to leave this matter to her.
"It looks like everyone is ready. Let's go quickly. We have less than five hours." Dixon winked at Reacher with a smile and returned to the car.
“I hope the road won’t be too congested, I’ll drive in front.” Jack took the Firebird’s car keys from Jiejie’s hand, kissed her cheek and said goodbye.
"Boss, shut up and drive. Your mouth is so big that flies will fly into it." Nigley smiled and threw the Cayenne's car keys to Reacher, who was still stunned.
——
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 before the official founding of the United States.
That year, the Ming Dynasty in the East had not yet been destroyed. Emperor Chongzhen had just ascended the throne for less than 3 years, and it was still 14 years before he hung himself from the crooked neck 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 (Theater District), where all the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies come and go.
The protagonist of this mission is Dixon, and Nigli is responsible for surveillance. The three men can only wait outside the theater. It is not the time for them to appear yet.
Fortunately, there is a coffee shop opposite the theater. Although it is a bit strange for three men in suits and ties to drink coffee together, it is better than standing on the roadside like wooden stakes blowing the cold wind.
"I didn't expect you to keep in touch with that 'wool man'." Reacher adjusted his tie awkwardly.
Hearing the nickname Jack given to Finley by Reacher, he couldn't help laughing. "I suggest you maintain a certain amount of respect when you see him. He is now the inspector of the major crimes unit."
Of course they were talking about Oscar Finlay. Since leaving Margrave, the short black detective has returned to Boston and continues to be his detective.
After Jack entered 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. Fortunately, they were blocked by bulletproof panels, but it was also a blessing in disguise. After the case, Got a promotion.
