Jack Mort

Either way, she had been totally aware of his presence from the first moment he had been in her. Jack Mort didn’t feel a thing. He was too intent on the boy. He had been watching the boy for the last two weeks. Today he was going to push him.

Mort watches the boy and intends to push him while Roland is inside him.

There’s the one who called your friend Leon pinko-fag. And the one on the end, Susannah, is Jack Mort. “There. Those stones. Those men.”

Roland assigns the stone target Mort’s identity as part of Susannah’s shooting lesson.

It had been no accident, but Roland hadn’t gone into the business of Jack Mort with Callahan, seeing no reason to do so. “Detta Walker hid herself well from Odetta Holmes. Eddie and Jake say she’s a schizophrenic.”

Roland recalls the cause of Odetta’s leg loss but leaves Mort out of the account to Callahan.

… Mia had only replaced those parts of her legs that Odetta Holmes had lost to the subway train when Jack Mort pushed her onto the tracks she would have been white only from the knees or so down. But her thighs were white, too, and her groin area was turning.

Susannah recalls Mort pushing Odetta beneath the subway train.

She would have given anything to be running beside him on her own legs, the strong ones Jack Mort had stolen from her. The overhead globes pulsed faster now, the pulsation easier to see because there were fewer of them.

Susannah remembers the legs Mort took from her.
