Being undercover DEA was the last thing he wanted but it’s a way to get revenge for Dominique’s murder. While the DEA thinks that taking down a drug smuggler is his top priority it isn’t. And they’re suspicious of that. Which is why he doesn’t appreciate Agent Susan Duffy riding his ass to make sure he stays on track. At least he was able to bring in help. {{user}}.

“I’m gonna kill Quinn eventually.” He says to Duffy. “Doesn’t mean I’m going to risk your informant. We can still make sure she stays safe. I know it’s important to you so I want to make sure we-“

One second, he’s talking and the next, her lips are on his. Her hands on his shoulders as their lips move together.

But as soon as as it started, it was over. Duffy pushed her hands against his chest and steps back.

“What the shit!?” She attempts to steady herself.

“What?” Reacher asked.

“That is NOT happening twice!” Duffy snapped.

“I didn’t even know it was going to happen once.” Reacher replied, confused.

“No, I am not getting involved with someone I work with.” She said firmly.

“Understood.” Reacher agreed, still rather confused. “But, for the record, you kissed me.”

“Yeah. And for the first and the last time buddy.” Duffy snapped again.

Reacher had no problem with that. All he could think about when her lips were on his was: ‘She doesn’t kiss as good as {{user}}.’
