As they neared the last light before the turnoff to Vanessa’s road, a dark gray, battered-looking car pulled up in the lane beside the Wrangler, and Frank realized their tail was no longer behind him. He couldn’t see into the car, and couldn’t see the license plates from his position behind Joe. The light was still green as Joe entered the intersection, but it turned yellow when he was halfway across. Three years of defensive driving habits kicked in automatically, and Frank slowed the van. The dark gray car, however, accelerated, swerving into Frank’s lane and forcing him to slam on the brakes; then the car barreled through the intersection right behind Joe. The light turned to red; cars from the other direction started across, and Frank was left at the light, furious and chagrined, watching two sets of taillights disappearing into the night.

As soon as the light changed again, he punched the accelerator toward the floor, leaving a strip of rubber across the intersection, and sped after his brother and the other car. He saw taillights in the distance, and increased his speed, hoping to catch up with them before the dark, lonely stretch of road just before Vanessa’s home.

Just after the underpass, there was a sharp turn leading into a stretch that wound between fields. As Frank rounded the turn, he saw a sight that turned his blood cold; the gray car was right on Joe’s back bumper – and then it accelerated, nudging the little Wrangler. Frank punched the gas pedal down, but despite Joe’s tinkering with the van’s engine, he couldn’t catch the other two cars. The gray car banged the Wrangler once again, and then as Joe swerved to avoid the attack, his wheels hit gravel at the edge of the road. The little jeep jerked, slid, and tilted sideways.

Frank watched in horror as the Wrangler skidded on two wheels a moment, then completed its turn, rolling off the road and into the field. Its headlights cut a bright arc into the night sky as it flipped upside down. The gray car roared away, its deadly mission accomplished.
