EXT. MARGRAVE STREETS - LATER

The song continues as Reacher, freshly shaven and sharp, walks, pep in his step, looking forward to seeing Roscoe. He passes kids spraying a hose at each other; silently helps an old woman lift her wheeled shopping car onto a curb then moves on; spots Margrave Town workers painting a public bench that hardly needs new paint. He also passes a BIG DOG/MUTT in a YARD, chained to a tree, a circle of WORN OUT LAWN around the tree, the RADIUS the chain allows. The dog barks friendly at Reacher. Reacher doesn’t slow, but makes note of the dog, continues on to... EXT. STATION HOUSE PARKING LOT - EARLY EVENING - MOMENTS LATER Reacher walks into the lot: sees Roscoe, Baker, Stevenson, Morrison and a few other cops gathered outside talking in hushed tones... the fun, blues music stops on a dime. He stops, takes it in. Something’s wrong. Roscoe approaches. ROSCOE Hey. Sorry, but dinner’s not gonna happen. REACHER What’s going on? ROSCOE

‘Nother body was found. In the brush, ‘bout 40 yards from the first one. Same caliber bullet. I gotta head out to the morgue. REACHER Can’t say I’m not disappointed. Was looking forward to spending some time with you before leaving-- ROSCOE Oh, I don’t think you’re leaving just yet. REACHER Why not?
ON CUE: Finlay storms over to Reacher... FINLAY Reacher! (stops inches away)
