Novel & Cerita Better Off Dead: A Jack Reacher Novel

Panic surged through me. If I left with the police now, my family would die. If I wanted to break this deadlock, I had to find the real killer–immediately. I clenched my fists, pounding my head lightly as I forced myself to breathe, to calm down. Slowly, I switched into the mindset I trusted most–my engineer's way of thinking. If I could solve something as complex as building rockets, then with this setup, I could crack it. I realized that everything about this case–the background, the motive–was just fed to me through the police and the witness.

"The damage is done. The killer got what he wanted. There were two key people who knew his identity. He killed one of them and the other slipped into a coma. Everything turned out in the killer's favor." "So what are you going to do? Just give up?!" I asked. "No. Of course not! The investigation will go on with or without Jack." He squeezed my shoulders in assurance. "Everything is going to be okay. You've gotta be strong." "How could I?" I whispered. My best friend was dead, and the man I loved had slipped into a coma with a possibility that he may never wake up. I didn't think I could remain strong much longer. I was alone in this, and the killer was out there.

I retort. He simply smirks at me, “You got lucky this time, Beta. But next time, you will not be so fortunate,” he replies. “You realize we have no incentive to keep you alive, right? Do you have a mate? Pups you want to get home to? I would suggest you make peace with the reality you are going to die in this cell,” Jack says in a chilling voice.

Make introductions. And wait for the perfect moment to strike. That moment was coming. I could feel it. And when it arrived, Lucas Hart would finally learn that some dead women do not stay dead. Some come back for revenge.

The ninth time I tried to divorce my husband, Don Louis Romano, my best friend Jenny Parker, who had always talked me out of it, handed me the papers herself. Every time before, she'd done everything in her power to stop me. She'd even taken over the Family's day-to-day affairs just to create chances for us to see each other and reconcile. I took the papers and couldn't help but ask. Years of pent-up exhaustion showed in Jenny's eyes, and to my shock, her voice was edged with resentment. "You got Vivian shot this time. She nearly didn't make it. How long are you going to keep this up?!" Vivian Hale was the woman Louis had been seeing. I stared at her in disbelief. "Vivian's had a hard life.

Standing in that dining room was like drowning, and considering I had felt what drowning was, I saw no difference. If I stayed here with Maverick, I would be making the same mistake my mother made, staying in a place where she didn’t belong. And where did she end up? Dead. But.. what was my fate if I didn’t stay? Pretty unknown too. I sighed and slowly placed my hand in his extended one. “I’ll stay,” I whispered softly, feeling the cold glares stab into my skin from all sides.

She nodded slightly and together they pulled the trigger. Henry's body fell backward on the white bed. Red blood poured from the head wound staining the sheets in stark contrast. Jack reached his arm around her and pulled Alex in close. Tears streaked her face, she didn't know why. Henry was a bad man and it's not like she hadn't killed before. But this felt so personal. Jack soothed her in a gentle voice. He took the gun from her and held her tight in his arms. She clung to him and cried. It was finally over. She was finally free.

“Hey hey hey, Jack, did you watch the death broadcast last night? It was too exciting. It was simply too enjoyable! That Death Inquisitor was too awesome. Too cool. Two people were killed by him at the New York City Police Station. Don’t you think it’s awesome? Too awesome!” Jack smiled faintly and said, “All right. You can go back. You can watch it when you go home.” Thompson shook his head and said, “No, no, no. My phone doesn’t have any traffic. What if those people die on the way home? I can’t miss such a wonderful scene of death! I have to watch those people die before I leave!” “Then why don’t you go back to the day shift?” “All right. Then you can go back!” Thompson waved his hand and

Edward was dead. He had a heart attack after Jenny enraged him, and despite attempts to revive him, he died on the spot. With a heavy heart, I took care of Edward’s funeral arrangements before immediately calling the police. From that day on, Jenny and Marcus Grange, along with those thugs, would pay dearly for what they had done! In the past, I might have let them off the hook out of respect for Edward. However, now that Jenny had killed the only person protecting her and caused her own father’s death, I would make her suffer a thousand times over!

"This is dead. It won't beat for you again. "We're finished. Your cousin was right. Chase is the one who matches your status. Let's just call it a bad dream. "The dream is over. I've paid my price. I accept it. "I wish you happiness." With that, I left the office. The moment I closed the door, I heard muffled sobbing from inside, restrained yet desperate. I felt nothing. I could not comfort her gently the way I once had when I saved her. I had underestimated how persistent Scarlett could be. To escape her, I requested a transfer out of the city with no set return date.
