Tch. Poor mercs don't know to quit when they're alive...

Lester might not have Reacher's wits for case cracking, but he's got more than the muscle to match his partner . . . and he's loyal . . . so getting that kind of power provoked . . . well . . . you ever swat a brama bull on the bum and then trip over your own boots?

Also, would Lester really get away with being a traitor, or could someone else with Reacher-like abilities investigate and prove how they knew where to go? Last thought: they give him the money... but they don't untie him and just put it in one of his pockets before they leave. No honor among thieves and all that.

"Damn! Okay, get her where she needs to go that stuff was to good to not get to market." >.< ;.;
