Danger Zone
“Through the windshield the light blue sawhorses loomed larger, as if they were growing in crazy time-lapse photos. Behind the sawhorses two police cars were parked nose to nose, their lights flashing. Frank clenched his jaw and waited for the crash.
His fingers were locked around the steering wheel. His teeth were bared, and his eyes were closed to shut out the moment of impact. But there was no crash. His brakes held.
When Frank opened his eyes the bright white message "Property of Devaron Pol...ice Dept." painted on a blue sawhorse was about three quarters of an inch from his front grille.
"Couldn't you get it a little closer?" came a gruff voice from the side of the road.
Frank spun around to see a broad-shouldered policeman strolling toward him. The reality of the situation came flooding back. Here he was on a strange road in the middle of northern Connecticut, dead tired at ten o'clock, trying to track down a man who might be following him. Now he was about to go to jail for almost wiping out an entire smalltown police department.MoreLess
