Night School

a Jack Reacher Novel
Reacher said, “You speak English?” One guy said, “Yes.” “You ever wonder why? Why you speak my language and I don’t speak yours?” === “Never mind. What are your orders?” “Orders?” “If I wanted a parrot I’d go to a pet store. Someone just told you to do something. Tell me what it was.” === I know you have a welfare state, but a hospital is still a hospital, no matter who pays for it. No fun at all. === This is not your fault. There is no practical way to make this your fault. A hundred bureaucrats could type for a hundred years on a hundred typewriters and still not get close to making this your fault. === Outside the sky grew darker. Either rain coming, or late afternoon. Or both. === “Do you not tell your superiors what they should know?” “I tell them as little as possible. Short words, no math, and no diagrams.” === The only Cold War airborne junior commander still wearing the green suit. From the brown-boot army to the black-boot army to the New Balance army. Tenacious.
