The Drifter

Now Jack was a man who had seen much as an army brat he travelled the world never really making friends at each stop he slipped into the role of soldier Soon was made up to major in the Mps betrayed by his superiors he began to drift moving from town to town, just a backpack to his name doing odd jobs here and there Trouble seemed to find him where ever he was always ready to help the underdog sort problems living under the blanket using president's names foot loose and certainly fancy free with no ties Looking for him is like looking for a ghost your best chance is a message left at his bank and maybe if he is intrigued enough, he may just look you up and sort out your strife One thing you should know for sure is one morning he will be gone on his way the vista of the blue unknown calling for now Jack drifts along life's highways Based on Jack Reacher books by Lee Childs written by Shadow Hamilton contest: Become a fictitious character taken from a book (or a movie) ! MP's short for military police
