Reacher recalls eleven days earlier when he nearly bumped into a man on the sidewalk that he thought had been dead for ten years. Reacher thinks the man might have recognized him. Reacher gets the plate number of the car he drives off in. Reacher phones old numbers from his past and gets in touch with Warrant Officer Powell who says he will get back to him with info on the car; he sells out Reacher to the DEA when his plate search is flagged. Reacher does not stop a young man from stealing or give him money.

In a flashback to “days earlier”, Reacher is near a bus stop and convinces a young man to not steal from a mother waiting for a bus. He gives him $100 and tells him to get a job. Reacher then sees a man (Quinn) get into a car and drive away. Reacher borrows a cell phone and calls his old Unit 110 to get the license plate traced. Warrant Officer Powell says he will call him at his motel later.
