After 3 miles, she slammed the breaks, turned right, then right again into a residential driveway, backed up, drove to the corner, and turned left. Back toward her apartment.
--What are you doing? Where're you going?
--Back there. Going back there.
--Where? What.
--My place. There.
--What. Why.
--I'm going back.
--C'mon. Now you're just fuckin' with me. You're trying to drive me crazy.
--You gonna jump out and hitchhike, like you did before? Now it's my turn to ask questions. What was that all about? Did you murder someone? Rob a bank? No. You'd have a wad of cash. Do you? What were you running from?
--Now's a fine time to ask. After we fucked around, acted like desperados, and went on the lam.
--They're reasonable questions. I should've asked them right off the bat. Calmer. Slower. Quieter.
--We had a fight. One too many. I bailed. Easy.
--Who's 'we'?
--Her and I. She and I. Whatever.
--What kind of fight?
--To be honest, just like this.
--Well, you sure know how to pick 'em, don't you?
--I don't want to go back there. What about you? What was your gig?
--Same.
--Same?
--More or less.
--Great.
