you’re safe. they’ll never find us here. / @cokon for jack !
Trying to catch his breath, he had taken some time to stare at the other after the dust seemed to settle, for the moment. Though they seemed so confident, Reacher had other thoughts.
"Is this a safehouse?" Reacher asks, that would be one of the only places that could not be traced so quickly. "If you've used this place before, it might not be as safe as you think." Yet, he doesn't seem to mind. He trusts it'll take them a while to check this area in particular and, by then, Reacher trusted that he'd be long gone.
"Helping me interrupted... whatever you were doing. Why did you?" It was one of the things he didn't understand about the situation. There was nothing to gain from helping him out, rather he thought the other might do the opposite, before. More profit from that than this. Maybe, there was still a possibility that the stranger would sell him out... After all, Reacher couldn't even see his face, let alone his intentions.
