We were going to a building

Dad was holding my hand and we walked

Then we walked in

Can I help you?

James barr

Then he went to a room with a man

I tried to get in but they stopped me

No, kids under 15 one man said

That's stupid I said

Then dad told me to wait

Then I was looking at my nails and dad took my hand

That was quick I said

Mr reacher

Hey, stop stop right there

We had a deal

I take you to barr, you tell me what you know

I know you say, he shot five people, and he's in a coma

I know there's a bus station three miles away, and I can walk there in 24 minutes with my kid he said

You're gonna walk out on your friend?

He's not my friend or her's

Why'd he ask for you then?

Same reason he shot five people, he's crazy

Hey, hold on

Don't do that

Well, this is a new low, even for both of you

Uh-oh

You do not talk to my client without me present you know that

We weren't talking to your client

He's in a coma, for Chrissakes

You're barr's attorney?

Helen rodin, Jack reacher and

Jasmine I said

Jack reacher?

Helen rodin

She's the district attorney's daughter

It's a good story

I'd like to hear it

And I don't I said

How'd you find him?

How'd they find you?

You can't be talking to this man

Two strikes in one day

It's not what it looks like

He came to us

You sent to the DA?

Is there a law against that?

None you're currently breaking

Come on, before this gets awkward, now, hey

Say, see you in court, for me

Goodbye, detective

Weird meeting you and her

Likewise

I sticked my tongue out

Let's go

So

Then dad took my hand and we walked away

So, you're Jack reacher

So, you're the DA's daughter

Oh, Jesus, please

Is that even legal?

Fortunately

How does that happen?

I'll tell you after deposition

You don't wanna dispose me

You're my only defense witness

I'm not a defense witness neither is my kid

Your friend James thinks you are

He's not my friend or her's, why does everyone assume that?

Why else would he ask for you and why would you help him?

I didn't come here to help him

I came here to bury him
