Bond of Darkness
“THE SAME NIGHT Twan Eldridge rattled through the pine forest, torn between watching the road ahead and his odometer. It was easier to be amazed Big Sis's sunflower-yellow Beetle could keep moving along this swampy morass, than think about the meeting ahead. Let alone remember why he'd been crazy enough to buttonhole Passard at the last police chiefs' conference.
Two red reflectors flashed at exactly the promised point and he turned hard right, sliding on the mud and almost smashing the Beetle... against a pine tree.
No cop would pull over a black man driving this piece of shit, no matter how desperate they were to make their ticket quota. No, they'd just laugh and wave the poor darkie on, figuring he had apron strings stretching all the way back to his mama's knee. Which was why Big Sis had made all her sons learn how to drive in it and why he'd borrowed it for this trip, instead of his official Crown Vic. No way he was having his license checked by some ticket-happy rural cop and letting anybody in NOPD know he was out here.MoreLess
