CHAPTER TEN

It took forever to get through North Carolina and Virginia wasn't much different. Endless miles of highway, Earl thought. The boredom broken only by his short side-trips off the turnpike to rob a gas station or turn-over a convenience store. He'd managed to make clean get-a-ways since South Carolina without having to kill anyone. Beyond pistol-whipping one clerk, he'd been downright polite.

He glanced across the car at Maggie sleeping against the door. She hadn't been the same since they drove past the Myrtle Beach exit on Route 95. He bought her a new sun dress at one of the highway rest stops; which put a glimmer of a smile on her face for about a minute – until she realized he had only purchased it to make her look prettier for turning tricks at the truck stops.

She was the worst whore he'd ever known, crying most of the time the guys were on top of her, even biting one guy on the dick. Her attitude wasn't good for business and thought it best he keep that part of their working relationship to a minimum.

He turned into the parking lot of a Maryland Cracker Barrel restaurant and dragged Maggie inside for dinner. A sparse amount of customers were there eating; which was fine by Earl. He asked for a booth in the back and followed the hostess to the table.

“Gina will be your server this evening,” the young hostess said, and excused herself.

When she looked back at the dark-haired man, he was opening up his jacket to reach for his wallet. The glint of a badge surprised her and she twisted her hands in her lap. She watched the man pull a twenty dollar bill from his billfold and stand up, preparing to leave. The bulge of a gun was evident at his hip and Maggie's heart began to race. He wasn't in the military, she thought. He was law enforcement.

“I have to pee,” she said.

“Are yer legs broken?” Earl asked. “Go on, but don't try no funny business.”

Maggie slid from the booth seat and stood up. Her eyes looked for the man with the badge. She saw him standing at the cash register by the door. She'd have to walk past him on her way to the ladies room. She'd have one chance to get his attention and that was it. If she blew this opportunity Earl would surely kill her.
