Night School
“Neagley pressed the bell again. Reacher heard a soft chime inside the apartment. Gentle, melodious, not urgent.
No response.
Nothing.
Silence.
Neagley stood back.
Griezman said, “We need a warrant.”
Reacher said, “Are you sure?”
“In Germany it is essential.”
“But he’s American. And we’re American. Let’s do this the American way.”
“You need a warrant also. I have seen it in the movies. You have an Amendment.”
“And credit cards.”
“What for? To buy something? To pay someone off?”
“For ingenuity an...d self-reliance. That’s the American way.”
Neagley asked Sinclair for a credit card, and got a government Amex in return. She took it to Wiley’s door, and stood sideways, her back to the hinge, her inside hand on the handle, her outside hand holding the card, fingertips only. She pressed on the door with her shoulder, and hauled straight back on the handle, against whatever extra compression the hinges could give her, and she slid the government Amex into the frame and touched it to the tongue of the lock.MoreLess
