Note: Let me just say finding Jack Reacher to get him to ask this question was not easy. The boy is excellent at staying under the radar, to the point of very little online presence. In some ways he’s a ghost. Benton pointed out that it makes him a good Hunter, which had us asking how did he ended up with him anyways …. After a story that took a few hours to explain – it had something to do with a soldier, Vecchio, and a sniper.
After hounding Vecchio, who did some calling and then threatening our lives – we finally got a sit down at some old rusty diner in not the safest area of Chicago to ask Reacher his question.
Interviewer: In all your ‘drifting’ around the country have you met or worked with Winchesters, or other Hunters? How’s are you escaping Gerard’s clutches?
Reacher: Who?
Interviewer: John Winchester? Or his boys Sam & Dean?
Reacher: No idea
Interviewer: They drive an Impala
Reacher: *Pause* yeah I remember a guy with an Impala … only one though. He was eating pie and flirting. Talked with him for a bit, thought he would be a good soldier. He had laughed and said that was his dad. No idea he Hunted Vampires. Didn’t even know they existed until Vecchio.
Interviewer: What about Gerard?
Reacher: *shakes head while drinks his coffee* no idea who that is, should I?
Interviewer: *shifty look* If he can find you, he’ll likely try and recruit you into the US Marshals
Reacher: I’m an MP
Interviewer: *awkward silence* so no idea about Vampires?
Reacher: *shakes head*
Interview: Have you ever met a few of our other military guys? William Lennox, Robert Epps or maybe the Commanders? General Grant and Sherman.
Reacher: *sets cup down* Yeah I know the two. Good Generals. I remember them because I thought it was humorous that they were ‘Grant’ and ‘Sherman’ are you saying they are US Grant and Tecumseh Sherman?
Interviewer: *nods*
Reacher: *chuckles* they were good guys. I remember a Lennox, tall guy – knits. Smarter than he looks.
Interviewer: So last question …. *phone rings – an actual phone in the diner – rings*
Reacher: *gets up picks it up … nods and hangs up* *smiles at me, grabs jacket and heads for door* Nice talkin’ to you.
Interviewer: *looks at phone* *shifty eyes* well that wasn’t to bad.
