Jamie It's Our Dance

<p>Oh God what if they're following me? He turned his head slowly toward the right and moved his eyes to look at the driver of the car on his right. It was a black woman. She did not look his way and looked innocent enough. He breathed slightly and looked to his left. The driver of the car was a white-haired elderly man. I think it's okay he thought. A tractor-trailer suddenly appeared in his rearview mirror. What the hell's he doing he asked himself. Are they allowed on the Beltway or not? He was confused and couldn't think. Just keep driving. Change lanes to see if he's following he decided. But seeing the exit to Interstate 66 going toward Manassas he took the exit. The tractor-trailer stayed on the Beltway headed for Maryland.</p> <p>Just keep driving Jamie thought. Maybe just lay low for a couple of days . </p> <p>He drove for an hour then crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains and started down into the valley toward Interstate 81 which ran all the way through Virginia and into Tennessee. He noticed a black car in his rear-view mirror. It was the kind of car a gangster would use.</p>
