Chapter 11

Your nighttime imagination never gets too wild in Detroit. At least that was what I told myself as I drove home from Veronica’s apartment and noticed another Chrysler following me. I first noticed it on Crooks, but the driver really made his presence known on Big Beaver, at the first U-turn after the I-75. It was incredibly obvious. Because I had been too distracted by the aching dissatisfaction in my crotch, I had passed the first on-ramp, leaving me no other choice but to make that U-turn and merge with the I-75 from the other side of the road. Nobody else would’ve done that—even a drunk or half-awake driver would not have missed that first on-ramp. So finding the Chrysler from Crooks doing the same thing as me set off my alarms. I was definitely being followed.

Once I reached the Interstate, I sped up, changed lanes, pretended to take the exit for Corporate Drive, and then changed my mind at the last minute. The other Chrysler imitated all of those funky moves. It was a newer model than mine, the one with the bi-Xenon headlights and LED tail lamps, and it also had after-market rims and big LA-style tires, which made it easily recognizable.

The other car followed me all the way down Adams. The driver must’ve thought I wouldn’t notice because there were streetlight and other vehicles between us, but I did. Once I made my turn onto Maple from Woodward, the other driver abandoned his pursuit.

Which meant the driver knew I was close to home.

“Fuck,” I whispered. I didn’t know why I whispered that, but between forfeiting that intimate moment with Veronica and discovering that someone had been following me since leaving her apartment, the fuck seemed warranted. So I said it again, “Fuck.” Except this time I wondered how long the driver in that other, nicer Chrysler has been watching me.

And, of course, why he cared to watch me in the first place.
